Short video explanations are provided for points that are easy to get stuck on, so even those who were unable to fully understand the material from the book alone can progress more quickly and continue their studies without giving up. ・Content focused on basic level By focusing the content on the level required for entrance exam and common test preparation, the book is packed with all the necessary information while remaining short enough to be read in a short amount of time. ・Features of “Learn Physics through Videos: Mechanics” The goal of this video is to help you “understand how formulas work,” “be able to solve problems using diagrams,” and “be able to set up accurate equations” through a thorough understanding of physics-specific expressions. The video explains the basic and applied skills necessary for solving problems. ・Features of “Learn Basic Biology through Videos: Common Test Preparation” The goal of this video is to “organize what you need to memorize and master the basics” and “be able to score well on the Common Test.” The video explains the basic and applied skills needed to solve problems. The book is divided into sections with simple exercises, allowing you to study in small steps. By working through the “Challenge the Common Test Level!” section at the end of each chapter, you can practice multiple choice questions, diagram selection questions, and conversation-style questions that are likely to appear on the Common Test. ■Author introduction Mami Iizumi: Born in Chigasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. He became a cram school teacher in his first year of university and discovered the joy of teaching. He joined the cram school where he had worked for four years, teaching for junior high and high school entrance exams. Driven by his desire to teach physics, he left his job and became a prep school teacher. He has taught for junior high and high school entrance exams for eight years and at a prep school for medical school for over ten years. He has also taught at four high schools as a part-time high school teacher. He has also appeared in video lessons. His books include “Now You Can Understand: Live Broadcasts of Physics Basics and Physics Lessons” (Gogaku Shunjusha). He devotes himself to studying physics every day, hoping to help people who think they’re not good at it realize that understanding physics can be fun. His favorite things are coffee, cats, Shiba Inu dogs, and Splatoon. Tanaka Ryunosuke: During his time as a ronin (a student preparing for entrance exams), he experienced a transformation in which biology, which he had previously disliked, became one of his favorite subjects. This experience inspired him to aspire to become a biology instructor. He currently teaches mainly to students aiming to enter medical school and other top universities, and many students report that their grades have improved significantly thanks to his classes that thoroughly cover the fundamentals. In addition to teaching, he is also actively involved in writing and creating teaching materials, such as creating red books, AI teaching materials, and entrance exam questions. He also runs his own educational production company, which produces and provides “Rikabesque,” a specialized science content for cram schools, and he uses his extensive teaching experience to support the educational field in many ways. ■Book summary
