Hello, I am Erin, the Director of Peony Kids Academia, an institution specializing in international education. I spent my childhood in Daechi-dong, Korea, and moved to Virginia, USA in 2006, where I grew up in the local public education environment. I majored in Biology and Psychology at a state university and, while operating a private kindergarten for gifted children in the U.S., I have consistently practiced an educational approach that teaches English not merely as a foreign language subject, but as a language of communication that enables one to understand the world and express oneself. Based on this experience, Peony Kids has personally designed an American-style academic curriculum to provide a systematic learning roadmap that connects basic English with knowledge-based English and global learning. Peony Kids aims to create "practical English" together with children, enabling them to think for themselves and communicate confidently in English. I sincerely look forward to growing together with the children at Peony Kids Academia, an institution specializing in international education.

My 8-year-old woke up diligently every day throughout the vacation just to attend the class :) It is such a gem of a class that they listened to it every morning even while traveling abroad!!! Since the explanations are tailored to the children's level, they didn't feel like they were studying much while taking the lessons~~~! From word roots to actual example sentences, the children practice speaking and writing in their books, and since there are review quizzes at the end of each unit, I loved that it wasn't just rote memorization. They also take notes on sticky notes every day, so it seems to be getting better and better as time goes on 😊

We currently live in the U.S. and first learned about this teacher through a friend's recommendation. We were initially worried because the classes are conducted entirely via Zoom, but the teacher led the session energetically, tailoring the learning to our child's level, so our child quickly became fully engaged. What we liked most was that, rather than rote memorization, our child could naturally learn vocabulary at a U.S. first-grade level through interesting activities and context. Even though it is an online class, the active interaction with the teacher makes it a lot of fun for our child.

This is a class that a 5th-grade boy enjoys and listens to diligently every morning. Thanks to the teacher who leads the class so enjoyably, we are already on the 17th session. ^^ Since he had to stop reading for two years when he was younger because his mom made him sick of it, he has started again. Even though he is taking the class with younger siblings, he says it is fun and participates every day, making me feel nothing but pride. I extend my infinite gratitude to the teacher for getting my child to participate voluntarily. ^^ I am looking forward to tomorrow's class as well. ♡
