One-line summary:Hanmungi Mathematics Learning Center's "1:N Responsible Guidance" covers one class.6-8 peopleThis is an operation method in which the director personally checks each student's solutions from the sidelines and redraws the weakness analysis table every week. It is neither a group lecture at a large academy nor expensive one-on-one tutoring, but a “neighborhood math teacher taking responsibility” type of tutoring center model.
1:N responsibility map, where is the concept located?
Private mathematics education in Korea is usually classified into three types.
- All-in-one lecture at a large academy (1:20+)— Progress is based on the half you do well. Students who cannot keep up with the progress will have their weaknesses revealed only after the unit is over.
- 1:1 private tutoring— The price is high, and student presentations of solutions and peer stimulation disappear.
- 1:N small elite group responsible guidance (1:6~8)— An intermediate form that addresses the weaknesses of the two models above. Checking the seats next to you + peer presentations + customized progress for each student are possible together.
Hanmungi Mathematics Learning Center corresponds to the last type. Each class has no more than 6 to 8 students, and the director personally checks each student's notes and analysis sheets every week.
Why we use the word “responsibility”
In large academies, progress progresses even if students are blocked. Only after completing a unit and taking a test does it become clear, “This student was weak in this unit.” By then, the next unit has already started.
1:N responsibility guidance eliminates that time difference. If a student gives a wrong answer, we immediately correct it on the spot, and the weight of next week's class is re-determined for each student. Analysis sheets are also printed out to parents every week.
What is the biggest difference compared to large academies?
The biggest difference is"Presentation of solution"no see. At our studio, we work together with students until they can explain their solutions in their own words in front of the blackboard. The goal is not “I know how to solve it,” but “I know how to explain why I solve it that way.”
Students who make points by memorizing will fail in the next unit. Students who can explain in their own words are different after a year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. My child hates academy. Wouldn’t it be burdensome to check the seat next to you?
In fact, quite the opposite is true. There are many student reviews saying, “It’s good because I can say I don’t know what I don’t know because the teacher is sitting next to me.” At large academies, people don't ask because they're embarrassed about not knowing, but in an environment with 6 to 8 people, that's possible.
Q. How is it different from 1:1 tutoring?
In 1:1, students do not have a peer to present their solutions to. Watching 6 to 8 students in the same class solve the same problem using different methods is learning in itself. The price is also half of 1:1.
Q. You said the maximum number is 6 to 8, but what happens if it is already full?
We operate a waiting list. We will inform you first when seats are available for each grade and time zone. You will be notified during diagnostic consultation.
The meaning of “neighborhood math teacher” according to Director Moonki Han
I amWonmi-dong, Bucheon for over 10 yearsI have been teaching students closely. We use our own textbook that organizes the test-taking patterns of students from Wonmi Elementary School, Wonmi Middle School, Simwon Middle School, Dowon Middle School, and Wonmi High School by school with 8 years of past test data. I think this is a result that only a local math teacher can produce.
Larger franchises align with national averages. Neighborhood training centers are tailored to our neighborhood schools.
