When looking for an English academy for my child,
At first, I only looked at the scores to make my decision.
I wasn't very bad at the test, and I was also working hard to memorize the words
.
So, to be honest,
“If I just work a little harder, my grades will go up.” I thought it was
.
However, even as time passed,
English scores did not improve as much as expected.
Especially as I went to high school,
the amount of time I spent studying increased, but the feeling of barely being able to survive in grade 3
continued.
From then on, I started looking into Hwajeong-dong English Academy again, and
I learned one thing in the process.
When choosing an English academy, consider
“What exactly is my child failing at in English?” rather than what grade he/she is currently at. I needed to check

I thought I was studying English well because I was memorizing words.
My child was quite diligent in memorizing words.
When I looked at the vocabulary test, my score was not bad, and
Speaking of studying English at home,
I was spending the most time memorizing vocabulary.
So I didn't think the biggest problem with English was
vocabulary size.
However, upon closer inspection,
the problem was somewhere completely different.
I knew the meaning of the words, but I couldn't understand the structure properly when the sentences got longer.
In particular, the grammar was much weaker than I thought.
When the sentence structure became a little complicated, such as a relative or participle phrase,
, the interpretation was often guessed based on the meaning of the word.
We knew a lot of words, so
Neither I nor the child knew that fact.
“Knowing words” and “reading sentences” were different
In the meantime, if you make mistakes in English passages,
“Do I need to memorize more words?” I first thought of
.
However, English was not a subject that could be solved by just memorizing a lot of words.
Even if you know the word,
you cannot find the subject and verb,
you cannot properly distinguish the formula relationship, or
you do not understand the grammatical structure,
In the end, it is difficult to accurately understand the meaning of the entire sentence. It's difficult.
Especially in advanced English, rather than simply translating one sentence
How the preceding and following sentences are connected,
Why the writer It was important to be able to understand
how the logic of the entire text flows.
I couldn't get this part right and kept memorizing the words
.
The most important criteria while looking for Hwajeong-dong English Academy
So this time,
A place that simply gives a lot of homework or
A lot of problems I first checked
to see if it was a place where I could accurately find the child's weak spot, rather than a place where it was loose.
In the process, I found out about

.
What I liked most of all was that
first looked at what each student was lacking.
The reasons why English grades do not improve are different for each child.
Even for the same level 3 student,
problems may be different.
Some students may lack vocabulary,
Some students may know grammar but
Reading speed may be slow,
Other students may be good at solving multiple choice questions but
Narrative or English writing may be weak.
My child was weaker in grammar and sentence structure analysis than in
words.
Just knowing that properly has changed my direction of studying
a lot.
In the past, if you unconditionally opened the vocabulary book and memorized it,
Now, as you read the sentence,
“What is the subject?”
“Where is the verb?”
“How does this sentence compare to the previous sentence? “Is it connected?”
We practiced thinking together.
In each class, we do not just learn words, but also teach 5 things together.
The part of Cressen English School's teaching method that felt good
was
The point was that it did not focus on just one area of English.
Each class is largely conducted in 5 stages in the following order:
Vocabulary → Reading → Descriptive → Listening → Grammar
Check your previous learning with the vocabulary test, and analyze key sentences with
Reading Comprehension.

did not repeat one area and then miss the other areas.
I was particularly impressed by the way the passages were analyzed together.
When studying English passages,
children often read the interpretations and then move on.
However, if you study like that,
even if you can understand the passage,
you may get stuck again when you encounter a new passage.
At Cressen English School, the director of
directly analyzes key sentences and structures while also taking notes with
students.
Simply
“This is the interpretation of this sentence.” It does not say
, but
Why it is interpreted that way,
How the sentence structure was created,
This is a method of teaching
to think about where the flow of the text leads.
I felt that this thought process was quite important, especially for high school students.

Things to check first before changing English schools
What I felt this time is
Just looking at the child’s English grades
“Because I didn’t study. “Okay.”
“It’s because I memorize less words.” The point was that you should not assume that
is
.
From the child's perspective,
may be studying hard in his own way.
However, there is a possibility that is repeating the same study without knowing what is wrong.
That was the part we missed the first time.
I thought I was studying English properly because I kept memorizing the words, but
what was actually blocking my grades was
grammar and sentence structure.
These weaknesses are easier to find when someone
looks closely at them, rather than solving one more
workbook.
So, the criteria for choosing a Hwajeong-dong English academy have changed.
Now, when looking for an academy, I don't look first at whether it's famous or whether it has a lot of students.
Who actually teaches my child,
Checks my child's shortcomings,
Vocabulary, reading, grammar, and writing style We will first check whether it is handled in a balanced manner and whether it is possible to manage the academic records suitable for school exams
Crescen English School focuses on small elite classes of 3 to 6 students
We aim for private tutoring classes that look after each student.
The fact that the director, who graduated from Seoul National University's English Education Department, directly teaches
classes was also something worth checking from the perspective of
parents.
If your child’s English is at a standstill, look at ‘weaknesses’ before ‘studying amount’
If the grades are still similar despite studying English hard,
Before you simply increase your study volume, you need to check out
at least once.
Are words enough?
Are the grammar concepts understood correctly?
Can you analyze the structure of long sentences?
Do you understand the logical flow of the text?
Can I write sentences directly in descriptive form?
If any of these are significantly lacking,
your grades may not improve well compared to the time you studied.
If you are looking for Hwajeong-dong English Academy,
Rather than looking at the current grade,
“Is this a place that finds out why it is still at that grade?” It would be a good idea to look at
first.
The moment you become aware of your child's weaknesses,
the direction of English study can change.
