Hello, this is JjangJi. I've been very tired recently and am planning to take a little rest.
When resting, I study companies for investing, haha.
I'll share only some particularly unusual messages I received during November.
These are first-place results or especially large improvements.
Chemistry. First place!
Just as I expected! I knew you would. Go show everyone!

This student was so strong that I expected them to rank first in class.
I think they asked their school teacher to confirm the ranking.
They probably got every question right. An impressive student.
The message simply said, 'First in IB Chemistry,' haha.
How did the exam go? What was your score?
I got a 7!

This student was also the only one in the class to receive a 7. It's not a school that gives many 7s.
There was only one 7, so I'm really glad.
The only student with an IB Chemistry 7! Their Chemistry grades were all 7s.
The unit test result today was 16.5/18. The student has done well and moved up another level. They worked through the extra test preparation questions you gave them, and say they have finished the third AP book. They really want to do well. It is all thanks to you. Before meeting you, the student struggled so much—stuck at a B+—but has now reached an A. They are getting closer to an AP 5. Thank you, teacher. I bow in gratitude.

Today's message says this student ranked first on an AP Chemistry unit test.
Messages like these always make me happy!
How many students got a 7?
Anyway, I am glad the second test went well. The children do not tell us much.
Haha. All right, I understand. Please tell the student they worked hard. Thank you.
Yes. Apparently the student was the only one in the class.
Oh! Great!!!

This student was also the only one in their IB Chemistry class to get a 7.
There really are many strong students.
A C, hahaha! Hahahaha!
Haha. From C to A+?
Yes, hahaha!
Congratulations! Well done. What a huge turnaround! Is that why you texted today—to skip class?
The chemistry teacher seems really surprised, haha. Yes.
You cheeky thing, hahaha.
I guess so, haha. But tomorrow is my last exam. Then it is mocks.
Do whatever you like, haha. Other students can come or skip too. I get a break.
Okay. Actually, I was skipping for your sake—to let you rest, haha.
Then come! Haha.
Yes, haha. I will do some exam preparation...
Okay, haha.

This is a particularly unusual case. The student had a C, near the bottom of the class, but the points we covered in one or two sessions all appeared
and the result became an A+. This was IGCSE Chemistry.
This student was lucky too. Everything I highlighted just before the exam came up, haha.
Teacher, I got my test paper back. I lost 2 points on Winkler and 3 on antimony.
So you got another 6, just one point short? Oh no...
Yes... But the year group average was 77%.
What percentage did you get?
84%, roughly.
Oh!

This next student had usually received 3s to 5s in IB Chemistry, then within a few months of coming here
rose to the upper end of a 6. There was already one student getting a 7—also my student—so they probably hadn't caught that student yet.
That's why they seem satisfied with this 6, haha.
A student ranked first at a Canadian boarding school completed a Chemistry IA draft in eight hours of lessons.
I think meeting me helped this student finish the IA in a short period.
The submission limit was 12 pages, but the draft reached 19 pages and about 5,000 characters of text. Now it needs to be condensed to fit.
This is an Indian student at a school with few Korean students.
They submitted a full 12 pages, haha.
Many other Chemistry IA inquiries have also been coming in and getting resolved.
Thank you so much. I'm going to try teaching at a more relaxed pace for a while.
Thank you to the students and parents who trusted me. A respectful bow from me.
