My teaching philosophy centers around the best features of each. While I feel the Korean system can overwhelm students with testing & constant study, I believe the American system is too lax, leading to apathetic students who may not apply themselves or reach full potential. Students need to be given firm guidelines with their studies, but also enough independence within this framework to learn responsibility, creativity & the importance of approaching problems with open minds. Encouraging them to ask questions, take initiative & express opinions will empower these learners to not only find success as students, but gain the necessary skills & lasting confidence to carry them throughout their lives.
