The name “Totoroad” comes from a classic Japanese anime My Neighbor Totoro (1988) by Hayao Miyazaki. In the anime, while being invisible for most of the time, Totoro came out to help people when they need helps. We adopt his name but with a different character (we use 多多罗 instead of the official translation 多多洛) to imply the meaning of “Compass” (means compass in Chinese): like Tororo, we help the international students in need; like a compass, we direct these students and their family toward academic success.
TOTOROAD
TOTOROAD BRIDGING COURSES
We hope to give international students and their families comprehensive supports in the aspect of studying abroad, including comparisons of institutions, academic plans and acculturation supports, by designing and offering advanced bridging programs and synchronous tutoring. Totoroad Academy assembles the most outstanding student mentors in America to help new international students by presenting sophisticated academic and life experience and knowledge. We aim to help new students with first-hand information and expertise to avoid and overcome unnecessary obstacles the students may meet in the future. We would like ourselves to become Totoro in the anime: always backing international students and their family in need.
In order to help upcoming freshmen to better adapt to the new lives and studies in America, which is known to be extremely arduous and stressful, we design and offer Totoroad bridging courses. The courses combine American teaching methodology with essential undergraduate academic knowledge to help new international students prepare their future four-year studies in advance. Mentees of Totoroad bridging courses would also develop intimate connections with outstanding mentors in upper-classes, which helps mentees build up social network as well as academic supports.
Totoroad bridging courses encompass subjects of Math-Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science-Java, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics. Except Computer Science, as Java is the basic programing language introducing to all programing languages, all the other courses offer two different levels – basic level and upper level: the basic level courses target students without rudimentary understanding of the subject, specifically without AP/IB score, and will teach the basic knowledge of the subject; the upper level courses target students with AP/IB scores and will teach subsequent college knowledge, relatively harder, in the subject, which all the students with related major would learn in the future.
All the bridging courses would be offered by carefully chosen upper-class mentors, including Master students and Phd students. All the mentors are verified with a GPA of 4.0 in the corresponding courses and come from Top 50 university/college in the world/America. Mentees could choose class size of either: 4-6 student class or 1-to-1 class.
With the sophisticated experience and knowledge, agreeable communication abilities and responsible attitudes, starting from this summer, not only can we bring you accommodating mentors but also the great academic advantage entering the college.
Totoroad Academy, as the top academic consultation for studying abroad, helps international Chinese students to reduce anxiety in academic settings and smooth the transition to college in freshman year.
