"The power to study independently begins with one's mind and habits." Hello. I am Kim Hee-jin from Aiola, an educational instructor and mentor who helps children grow at their own pace and in their own direction, going beyond the expectations of others. Having met countless students in middle and high schools in the Seoul metropolitan area and on online education platforms, I have become convinced that what is more important than techniques for improving grades is the "reason to do it oneself (motivation)" and "solid emotional resilience." By combining picture book emotional coaching to open a child's heart, the EBS Dream Map aptitude and learning test to aid objective self-understanding, and practical metacognitive training, I guide self-directed learning that goes beyond simply creating study plans to leading to "real action, not just words." 🌿 Key Experience and Qualifications Current: Freelance Self-Directed Learning & Career Instructor at Middle & High Schools in the 000 Metropolitan Area Current: Self-Directed Learning Instructor at the Online Education Platform 'Kookk' Current: Part-time Mentor / Education Expert at the Career Experience Support Center Former: Learning Coach at 00 Education EBS Self-Directed Learning Instructor Certification EBS Multiple Intelligences Instructor Certification Professional Interpretation/Counseling Certification for the EBS Standardized Psychological Test (Dream Map) Picture Book Play Instructor and Picture Book Emotion Coaching Certification Planning and Operation of Emotion Coaching Programs Based on Horticultural Therapy and Gardening Activities 💡 Coach Kim Hee-jin’s 3 Core Educational Philosophy Emotional Coaching That Strengthens the Mind First I do not blindly force strategies on children who lack motivation to study. Through picture books and emotion coaching techniques, I reduce the child's anxiety and help them find their own answer to the question, "Why should I study?" 'Practical Classes' Rather Than Just Listening More than half of the class time is dedicated to hands-on practice, where students personally create schedules, daily notes, and mind maps. This fosters 'real habits' that become second nature, rather than just knowledge acquired through observation. Feedback on 'Thought Processes (Metacognition)' Instead of Results Instead of focusing on right or wrong, or grades, we examine together "why they thought this way and how they can revise it." Students learn the optimism and willingness to take on challenges, viewing failure as an opportunity for growth.
