Rewarding Moments Teaching IB and SAT Chemistry, Praise for Our Biology Teacher, and SNU Admissions

Whenever exams finish, students send me plenty of messages.

Student

Teacher, thanks to you I met Grace, who is wonderful, and things are going well. But I need Chemistry too—could I come to your class again?

The message above came after I introduced Grace and the student's exam results improved.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that she is an even more capable teacher than I am.

So I'm sharing it here.

Teacher, I took the exam. Some questions were exactly the same as what we did together. The parts we studied were really easy. We covered all this in just two days. Thank you!

Student

Out of the 60 questions, almost all were from chapters 5 and 6.

Teacher

Whoa. Why would they not have told you that was the exam scope?

For the student above, we covered the exam material intensively over just two days: about two hours a day, four hours altogether.

They're pleased because many of the things we covered appeared on the exam.

They had hardly studied and were getting 3s before I took them on. I really hope the result turns out well.

You worked hard on the exam. Earlier, someone in your year at your school called to say their score had come out. Anyway, well done. I am glad it went well for you.

The next student seems to have done well.

I spoke to them directly by phone, and they said they had got all the multiple-choice questions right.

I think this is certainly a student capable of getting a 7.

What happened with your score? Did it come out well?

Student

Yes. Exactly 90%.

Seeing a student proudly announce a score of 90% makes me very happy.

Holiday intensive-course season is here again, so the other teachers and I will be teaching the students.

I put the timetable together myself, and making a timetable really is difficult.

I didn't want to take on too much, so I put my own classes in the mornings.

Although I'll still have to teach somewhere else after those finish.

For now, I've written out a simple schedule.

Once I add the online lessons, my timetable will be complete. It's tricky: having so many teachers makes everything complicated.

Parent

The problem is that there are no other students to join. Please keep looking.

Teacher

I am wondering whether we can put a group together. That is the biggest issue... I get inquiries almost every day.

Parent

Yes... It is hard even to find children taking the same subject here, and during the holidays nobody is around.

If you would like to join group lessons, please get in touch anytime.

Some people find private lessons too expensive, so I need to look for others who can form a group.
