For the past 10 years, I have been operating an academy specializing in original English reading in Daechi-dong. My classes focus on intensive reading. My goal is to strengthen both English reading comprehension and the ability to grasp sentence structure, thereby boosting academic achievement and self-confidence. Furthermore, I guide students to understand the original text exactly as it is, without relying on complex grammar, enabling them to experience being moved by it. I have also been active as a professional translator for 20 years. I have engaged in various activities, including translating volumes 1-4 of the Harry Potter series and translating and publishing over 70 books for young adults and popular science.

Today, my child had the full class alone since there was no friend to join. I was a bit worried it might be too difficult, but thanks to the teacher's detailed explanations and the encouragement and support for my child, we were able to successfully complete the two hours!! It feels like the sense for understanding and translating original texts is gradually improving, so it is a very beneficial and helpful class!! My child is also showing interest in other original texts and is even asking me if I can lend them the follow-up book after reading it, showing such initiative that I am so proud of them these days.

뉴베리 수상작 영어로 읽어봤니? <The One and Only Ivan> 정독클럽
Reading a book thoroughly is not easy, even for adults, unless they are accustomed to reading. This was a much-needed process for my child, who had acquired English but hadn't approached it much as a subject of study. The teacher meticulously guided the child not only in reading the words but also in visualizing the imagery and understanding the precise meanings and expressions, which led my child to come to love the book. Understanding leads to thinking, and it seems to foster critical thinking skills. My child also feels a sense of accomplishment. ^^ I look forward to seeing you again in another book class.

This class was chosen as a step to improve accuracy, after initially letting the child read and absorb the original text as is. It took some time to adjust, but despite that, the child enjoyed the class and has now selected the next original text as well. ♡
