I found this teacher while searching for a class suitable for my child, who had a strong aversion to English. Since my child doesn't fit well with the typical Korean academy system, it was incredibly difficult to find a teacher whose style matched ours. Looking back now, I congratulate myself on making the right choice in finding and enrolling in this teacher's class. I wanted my child to learn English in a fun way and grow little by little, and the teacher understood my child's personality well and always led the class in an enjoyable manner. As we took the lessons, the teacher pointed out my child's progress, and I could clearly feel it myself. I am absolutely convinced that this is a truly excellent class. I deeply wish I had known about this teacher when my child was younger. I wholeheartedly recommend Teacher Hongseon's class.

Teacher, right up until class today, Yujun was really worried and frustrated, saying, "I don't understand why I have to take this class!" haha. Then, he sat down on time and listened attentively, but after class, he talked about his worries. He said, "I'm supposed to be studying English, but I don't know what the words are or what the content is about. Since we just keep doing English, I don't understand it, and I don't know why I have to sit here." ;;; Haha. I was surprised myself that such inner thoughts came out, which don't seem very seven-year-old-like. I think for Yujun, reviewing is important, but previewing is just as important. So, around the end of class, could you please let me know in advance which Level 1 book we will be studying next week? Then I plan to have him preview the content beforehand to help him understand the material and participate in the class. Last week, I read Book 2 to him because I thought it was Book 2 class. ^^ If you let me know which book you will be studying tomorrow, I will have him read it and then listen to the lesson.

Mother, it is truly admirable that Yujun can express his thoughts so concretely. Yujun built confidence by repeating Jolly Phonics twice despite having limited basic English background, and I believe the fact that he can now read even simple sentences is a significant achievement in itself. However, as English usage has increased during class recently to boost exposure, listening to English without fully understanding the content seems to feel a bit overwhelming. Therefore, as you mentioned, preparing in advance to familiarize yourself with the book's content before participating in class would be helpful. The book to be studied for each session, as well as homework and activities after class, are detailed in the class guide, so please refer to it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask via the chat window at any time. Right now, rather than worrying about parts he doesn't understand, it is important to establish a consistent routine of repeated exposure, homework, and reading. As he becomes more familiar with the material, the pressure will naturally decrease, so you don't need to worry too much. π

Although it is elementary English, the course effectively covers up to the middle school level completely. As my child entered 6th grade, I thought it might be time to start advanced learning, so I enrolled in the course. However, during the tests, I realized that the middle school curriculum had already been covered. The advanced class has already begun practicing for 11th-grade mock exams starting this month. (I can't believe this is possible! I didn't expect it at all; I'm so glad I didn't send my child to a local English academy!) I believe the reason English is transitioning so smoothly and naturally is because the teacher has laid such a solid foundation. I didn't intentionally try to do advanced learning; I simply repeated and listened to the teacher's lessons. It has become a routine, a habit, so now Mondays and Wednesdays are set for Teacher Hongseon's class! It feels like English is settling in well and becoming systematically structured. Thank you. ^^

I believe that thanks to the alignment of your educational philosophy and the direction of my lessons, student Kim** was able to grow steadily while consistently studying from the basics of phonics. In particular, beyond simply memorizing words and sentences, the student has developed a sufficient ability to understand the fundamental principles of English and apply them to new words and sentences on their own. Going forward, rather than focusing too early on English for exams, I hope you will help the student maintain the positive English sensibility they currently possess and naturally expand their vocabulary and background knowledge through original English books in fields of interest and various reading materials. I believe that if the student experiences English not merely as a "subject to be studied" as they do now, but as a language and tool to explore their favorite fields more deeply, it will lead to much more solid and profound English skills in the long run.
