YA 독서 동아리: 비판적 사고, 이해 및 토론

With over 15 years of experience in education—including the past nine years as a dedicated homeschool educator—I specialize in helping students explore complex ideas through critical thinking, multiple perspectives, and meaningful discussion. I believe that literature is a powerful lens through which students can examine the world, build empathy, and strengthen their analytical skills.

My teaching philosophy centers on creating inclusive, engaging spaces where every learner feels valued. I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent students, including those with ADHD, autism, and other learning differences, and I’m passionate about helping them recognize their unique thinking styles as strengths. I prioritize developing confidence, executive functioning strategies, and student voice in every class I teach.

In my literature-based courses and book clubs, I go beyond plot analysis to explore theme, symbolism, author’s craft, and cultural context. I love helping students connect literature to real-world issues and personal experiences. My teaching style is flexible, discussion-driven, and supportive of multiple learning styles and processing approaches.

I’ve led middle and high school English, History, Book Clubs, Literature through Film, Engineering, and Financial Literacy classes across homeschool groups and co-ops. I’ve also completed sensitivity and diversity training to ensure my classes are welcoming and respectful learning environments for all.

Whether we’re analyzing a powerful novel or building a student-led book discussion, my goal is always the same: to help learners think deeply, express their ideas clearly, and fall in love with learning.
