Trusting school alone isn’t enough — the fundamentals matter too much.
From elementary through high school, we manage level-based learning.
Building a solid foundation in the core subjects. With a tailored curriculum, we identify and shore up each student’s weak points while running advanced work in parallel.
We start by confirming the student’s real ability.
Is it really okay to trust school grades alone?
Unlike Korea, the path to becoming a schoolteacher in the US is relatively simple. As a result, the odds of meeting a so-called “great teacher” are lower than you’d expect. The range is wide — from teachers who struggle with adding fractions to those who don’t know grammar precisely.
Of course, there are excellent teachers too. There’s just no guarantee you’ll get one every time.
And the teacher isn’t the only issue. The school curriculum itself often isn’t enough to “build the foundation for cumulative learning.” And these systemic problems don’t change overnight.
English — building reading, knowing, and writing in balance.
Many students arrive in middle and high school like this.
- Never properly learned grammar at school
- Little interest in current events or background knowledge
- No reading habit
- Take higher-level classes but can’t organize the concepts properly
What we cover
We study Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, Grammar, and Writing in balance, and we actively support building the natural reading habit that can only form at this stage.
- Strengthen the ability to read and understand texts on diverse topics with level-based materials and activities
- Improve expression and accuracy through vocabulary tied to topic and context
- Complete the essential grammar system
- Practice varied writing — journals, summaries, opinion pieces, and more
Exposure to texts on diverse topics
Reading widely across literature, social studies, science, and current events to broaden the scope of thinking
Completing essential grammar
Systematically organizing the grammar a student must know at the middle-school stage, so no time is wasted on it later in high school
Writing that carries thought
Moving beyond elementary grammar-focused writing to logically expressing one’s own opinions and arguments
Deepening reading comprehension
Going beyond surface understanding to analyze the writer’s intent, logical structure, and the nuance of word choice
Math — building “real ability,” not just a score.
School math grades often fail to reflect true ability.
- Good grades, but concepts are missing here and there
- Gaps from earlier grades blocking cumulative learning
- Memorized the formula, but don’t know “why” it works
- Falling apart in front of word and free-response problems
- Not ready to move on to the next stage
What we cover
Math is a cumulative subject. A hole at one stage shakes the entire next stage. So YEON diagnoses the student’s real understanding — not their school grade — fills the gaps first, then builds advanced work on a solid foundation.
- Finding and filling conceptual gaps through diagnosis
- Concept learning that understands the principle behind each formula
- Designing a step-by-step cumulative curriculum
- Training in interpreting and strategizing word and free-response problems
- Balancing depth and acceleration to the student’s pace
From the root of the concept
Understanding the principle rather than memorizing, building the strength to stay steady even on variations
Diagnosing and filling gaps
Finding concepts missed in earlier grades and filling them to lay the foundation for cumulative learning
Thinking-centered problem solving
Going beyond plain calculation to interpret problems and build a strategy
Balancing depth and acceleration
Instead of pushing too far ahead, preparing depth and the next stage at the student’s own pace of understanding
The foundation can only be built “at this stage.”
Instead of spending high school catching up on grammar and concepts you should already have, building a solid base now lets you focus fully on advanced work and admissions prep. That’s why we manage level-based learning from elementary through high school.
The management continues even after class ends.
Dedicated management chat
Whenever a student asks, we reply within one to two hours.
Regular progress reports
We report class attitude, assignment completion, and recommendations in detail on a regular basis.
Regular parent consultations
We regularly review the student’s status and future direction together with parents.
Getting started is simple — three steps.
Parent consultation
We understand the student’s current situation and goals.
Level diagnosis
We diagnose English and math ability in detail, area by area.
Tailored curriculum recommendation
Based on the diagnosis, we propose the learning design that fits the student best.
Frequently asked questions
First, confirm the student’s real ability.
We pinpoint the gaps that school grades alone can’t reveal, and design a path that fits the student — from the basics all the way to advanced work.
