Philosophy
I believe that learning needs to be student-centered and that students need to be equal partners in the learning process.

Critical Thinking (논리적사고)
Philosophy
I think each student is unique and it is my goal to understand the power that is inside of them so that they can mature and exceed their potential. Whether it is learning how to speak a new language, doing mathematical equations, making new friends, self-growth or baking cookies, in life we learn by mistakes so that we don’t repeat them. I believe that we are all students and teachers—learning, trying to understand one another, and evolving.
