"Negative people have done nothing, but positive people have no limits,"

as it demonstrates the power of positivity that resonates even in the global era.

I would like to ask you all: when you approach your studies, have you done your best?

Learning and awakening, teaching and growing, 'EngelStudy' promises this:

First, Enable!

With the power of positivity, we will consider the future of our children. Through 'EngelStudy' , we will nurture our children's perspective on the world. Engel translates to "Angel" in German. Think of EngelStudy as akin to "Angel Tutoring" or "Angel Study." I believe the experiences through EngelStudy will shape the future of our children. Through EngelStudy, our children will cultivate diversity, creativity, and global leadership skills.

Second, Study 24/7!

'EngelStudy'  will teach through the ECS (EngelStudy Circular System), a cyclical learning system. The EngelStudy Circular System involves foundational concept lectures, advanced problem-solving sessions, digital SAT mock tests, and compiling notes on mistakes, all organized in a cyclical relationship of learning. Through structured concepts applied to problem-solving in each class, we aim to organically connect various areas of study. This process will assist learning anytime, anywhere, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

Third, Think!

We will focus on analyzing personal weaknesses through mentoring feedback. Moving away from a passive approach of simply receiving mentoring, students will actively summarize the mentoring received and actively formulate improvement strategies.

"We aim for EngelStudy to become a benchmark in international exam preparation,
much like 'EST' is a standard."

'EngelStudy'  aims for education where ability translates into results.

With passion and thorough preparation, we will strive to grow our students' abilities and achieve excellent outcomes.

As educators, our ultimate goal is to ensure our children's abilities grow and translate into excellent results.

Empowering Students with Personalized Learning and Proven Strategies

1) Introduction

  With 10 years of academic experience at Shanghai International School, I have gained deep familiarity with international school curricula, academic planning, and student profile management. Having personally prepared for standardized tests such as SAT, TOEFL, and TOEIC, I understand the challenges students face and have developed effective strategies to overcome them.

My teaching journey began in Shanghai, where I provided private tutoring in English and Math, along with serving as an assistant at a middle and high school English academy. After returning to Korea, I have successfully guided students preparing for Chadwick International School entrance exams and Pre-TOEFL courses. These experiences have equipped me with the ability to tailor lessons according to each student's unique needs and learning pace.

2) Comment

  I believe that academic success is not only built on mastering content but also on cultivating confidence and critical thinking. My teaching approach is rooted in three core principles:

Student-Centered Learning:

Every student has different strengths and weaknesses. I prioritize personalized learning plans that address individual needs while fostering independent thinking.

Practical Strategies & Consistent Practice:

Having been through the same tests myself, I emphasize practical problem-solving techniques and consistent practice as the key to achieving high scores. By sharing first-hand tips and methods, I help students navigate the exam with confidence. 

Motivation through Positive Reinforcement: 

I believe that encouragement and constructive feedback play a pivotal role in student progress. I aim to create a supportive environment where students feel motivated to challenge themselves and celebrate their growth. 

My ultimate goal is to empower students not only to achieve top scores 

but also to become self-motivated learners who take ownership of their academic journey.

Helping Students Think, Not Just Solve
— A Tutor with a Proven Track Record of Results

1. Teaching Philosophy: Helping Students Connect Concepts to Problems

  Rather than simply providing solutions, my teaching focuses on helping students connect their mistakes to the underlying concepts, so they can build the ability to solve problems independently.

Every student makes mistakes for different reasons, so I carefully review their solution process to identify where and why they got stuck.

For example:

• When a lack of conceptual understanding prevents them from moving to the next step
• When a student repeatedly makes the same logical error
• When minor calculation mistakes interfere with problem-solving

I work with each student individually to correct these issues step by step.

2. Encouraging Self-Directed Learning

  I use a progress tracking sheet that allows students to record the topic, time spent, and incorrect answers.

This helps them reflect on their learning process and take ownership of their study flow.

The system is designed to foster an awareness of their strengths and weaknesses, and to help them become more independent learners.

3. Proven Track Record of Improvement

  Most of my students have experienced significant improvement in their academic performance.

• A high school student who scored in the 40s in math improved to 65 after just one test cycle.
• A middle school student raised their science score from the 60s to a perfect 100.

  In longer-term cases, identified recurring weaknesses (e.g. frequently making the same conceptual error across problems) and provided targeted instruction—resulting in high levels of student satisfaction.
