Hi there,

I want to give lessons for those who want to enter foreign language high schools either in Seoul or Kyonggi-do.

Thus far, I have helped more than 15 secondary school seniors enter Daewon, Suwon, HAFS, and other famed schools in Seoul and Kyonggi-do.

What I have most emphasized has been "Structures (Grammar)," "Reading," "Understanding," and "Listening." "Speaking" has been also stressed in such a way as to "express" "correctly and almost perfectly" what he or she thinks. In short, it has been done such as a "presentation" being given at various academic gatherings, including seminar and symposium. "Writing" has been also stressed as it is one of the most important competitive edges in English.  Some schools are expected to take "essay tests" in one way or another.

I studied international relations at Yonsei and its graduate school. Then, I flew to the United States for further study of the related subjects for over seven years while having parttime jobs as a writer at local magazines and tutoring Korean college students there.

Returning home, I began to give lectures at some Hakwons in Seoul and colleges for over 8 years.

Thanks.
