I am an intern at the Mindcare Institute of Korea, a role in which I help socially challenged children emulate real-life conversations. Through this experience, I have learned much about how to approach someone younger than me, but more importantly, the importance of finding the right way to teach them, instead of adopting the same method for each child. Similarly, I volunteer for two service organizations, HumanKind and the Lutheran Nursery. I have a deep passion for the humanities, specifically history and psychology, but have also had experience tutoring two different clients in math and science. I have continued to tutor for a year, and am comfortable teaching children of any age, due to the variety of experiences I have had with Levitate and other service organizations.

Throughout my academic journey, I've encountered my fair share of ineffective tutors who failed to teach me effectively. I've also had tutors who, although knowledgeable, made me develop a dislike for the subjects I was learning. Now, as I step into the role of a tutor myself, my goal is to not only provide effective teaching but also serve as a positive mentor for my students.To achieve this, I recognize the importance of adapting to each student's unique needs and learning style, rather than imposing a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach. By tailoring my teaching methods to the individual, I hope to create a sense of serenity and foster a genuine love for learning in my students. Building a strong mentor-student bond is equally important to me.However, while I strive to adapt and create a positive learning experience, I understand that there may be instances where a student's mindset clashes with our shared goal of learning. In such cases, I will maintain a firm approach while keeping their best interests in mind.Drawing on my avid interest in psychology and the knowledge I have gained, I will employ various strategies that not only help students reach their academic potential but also support their personal growth. Each session will typically begin with addressing any questions about the material and discussing any assigned homework. From there, I will proceed with the lesson plan prepared prior to the session.By combining my passion, knowledge, and adaptable teaching approach, I aim to empower students to not only excel academically but also unlock their full potential as individuals.
