Graduated from Korea University (Seoul Campus) Served as the Director of a renowned academy in the Gangnam 3-gu district for over 15 years Personally produced over a dozen textbooks for elementary, middle, and high school students Taught a student who achieved a perfect score on the 2016 CSAT starting from their first year of high school. For 15 years, I taught middle school classes for medical school and top-tier students, as well as high school classes for Grade 1 students and Grade 1 CSAT students in the Gangnam 3-gu district of Seoul. As an academy director for 10 years, I gained diverse experience teaching students of various levels. In particular, the teacher has the strength of reading students' thoughts, quickly identifying their habits, and presenting appropriate countermeasures and methods. Through the teacher's diverse teaching experience and student observations, countless students have gained confidence in mathematics and improved their grades. Mathematics is a discipline that organizes complex thoughts and aids in problem-solving. In other words, it is a subject that is truly essential to us. However, nowadays, students view mathematics as a subject where they must memorize concepts and theories (without critical analysis) and repeatedly solve problems by type (without knowing why they are solved that way). Mathematics is based on operations, and as students advance through the grades, they must learn by connecting and expanding upon new concepts and theories with what they have already learned. However, students who strongly believe that mathematics is solely about operations face limitations because they view the subject through this single lens. Consequently, the better a student's calculation skills are, the more difficult middle school mathematics feels. This difficulty is experienced again when learning high school mathematics. Mathematical concepts and theories require students to develop a habit of proactively understanding them, while problem-solving requires problem analysis and solution strategies. Only by learning "the connection and expansion of mathematical concepts" and "problem analysis, understanding, and problem-solving strategies" will students realize that mathematics is simple and easy as time goes by. The teacher will help students come to this realization. The teacher's teaching method is somewhat unique. 1. The teacher explains "why" concepts and theories are necessary, "how" they are expressed in a particular way, and "what" they connect to among previously learned concepts. 2. The teacher provides students with the opportunity to express their own thoughts. This allows the teacher to distinguish between well-thought-out ideas and those that need correction. 3. Understand the student's thought process regarding 'how' they solved the problem. 4. Teach how to analyze and understand problems, and the starting point for solving them. 5. Do not teach by categorizing problems into types. Therefore, do not teach solution methods by categorizing them either. 6. Regularly check whether the student solved the problem correctly (logically), and encourage them to express their thoughts verbally (verbal expression helps them identify their weaknesses).
