Secret tutoring by Seoul National University students
Description
Book Introduction
“I will be with you until the end so that studying will no longer be lonely!” The secret to simultaneous admissions to Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, and POSTECH, from An So-rin, a study mentor for 160,000 young people. Highly recommended by Lee Yoon-gyu, Seo Kyung-seok, and Park Cheol-beom! / Top-rated study mentors with 35 million cumulative views This is the first book by Sorin, a current study mentor for 160,000 test takers. This book is different from the study method books that have been published so far. Rather than simply imparting study tips, we will guide you step-by-step on how to equip yourself with your own secret weapon that will definitely help you pass the college entrance exams during your third year of high school. Sorin, a first-year high school student, was determined to overcome her difficult family circumstances and succeed through studying alone. I realized that I couldn't catch up with my friends who were ahead of me through expensive private education just by blindly solving workbooks and sitting for long hours studying. I also had a gut feeling that if I didn't find a way to overcome this, I would never be able to get into the university I wanted. Without rushing, I slowly observed the habits and study methods of my peers who were good at studying, and I read and analyzed hundreds of success stories from my seniors who had been accepted to SKY universities. Since I didn't have a private tutor who could immediately guide me through the entrance exam strategy and I didn't know how to do it, I believed that I had to figure it out on my own to find the path to success. And I applied the study methods and strategies of my seniors who analyzed them so thoroughly to my own studies, and eventually I succeeded. He went from being in the middle of the class to first in his class and first in his entire school, and was accepted to Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, and even POSTECH. This book contains the story of mentor An So-rin, who fought a lonely battle with herself by focusing solely on studying. Everyone says that studying is a battle with oneself. However, she recalls a past memory where she thought, 'If only someone had reached out to me when I was desperate, I wouldn't have felt so lonely,' and wants to become a friend to the countless students who are going through this lonely battle alone, without help. As a senior who has studied firsthand, I will share with you all the secrets I have learned through three years of intense study, including how to prepare for the entrance exam, how to plan your studies, and what kind of mindset is best for overcoming difficulties. I hope that students currently studying will no longer feel lonely studying with this book. |

Into the book
I felt it was a shame that all the hard work I put into preparing for the college entrance exams would be buried forever after I entered college, so I created a YouTube channel to share my regrets.
It was because I wanted to be a strong mentor to students who, like me, are studying in economically difficult circumstances, students who have the will to study but are at a loss as to where and how to start, and students who have the ability to enter a better university but are about to give up due to a lack of entrance exam strategies.
---From "Prologue: No More Loneliness in the Lonely Fight toward Your Dreams"
The greatest gift my habit of gathering various study methods and exam information online has given me is the opportunity to see in detail how much and how successful people who have dedicated themselves to studying studied, and what mindset they had when studying.
It was an opportunity for me to broaden my perspective and attitude toward studying.
Now, my competition wasn't my school friends, but unknown top students studying hard, silently, every day, somewhere across the country.
---From "PART 1: A heartfelt dream will definitely come true"
The reason I was able to continue studying silently without getting tired was because these days accumulated and became a habit.
There were times when I felt burdened and tired by the grueling journey of studying every day without a moment to breathe.
But I felt it was a waste to let all the effort I had put in collapse, so I persevered and steeled my resolve, thinking, 'Just a few more days, just a little more...'
As days like that passed by, a week, a month, and then two months later, at some point, the thought of hardship barely crossed my mind.
A day filled with studying has become a natural part of my daily routine.
---From "PART 1: Each day adds up to create a habit"
When I was a student preparing for the exam, I studied every day with this mindset.
'Of the many paths in life, I chose the path of study.
Since I've already chosen this path, I'll do my best to finish it with study.
'So that I won't regret it in the distant future.' I knew that if I didn't give it my all and approached the path I had chosen with sincerity, it might be easy now, but I would definitely regret it in the future.
This belief that I must take responsibility for my own choices has become the fundamental reason why I do my best in my studies.
---From "PART 1: Why I Studied So Fiercely"
There are countless books and lectures on how to study well.
There are many sayings that are heard here and there, such as, 'The key is to grasp the concept', and 'It is important to be a shepherd who solves many problems'.
However, the things I learned while studying can be summarized in one algorithm.
No matter what you are studying now or what subject you are studying, all your studies flow together.
The process of proper study consists of four stages: 'concept learning - concept internalization - problem solving - organizing incorrect answers'.
Only after going through each step can we say that true learning has taken place.
---From "PART 2: The Art of Planning"
I will introduce a method to fully absorb the knowledge contained in the workbook while solving problems.
This is a theory that I personally learned and developed while solving numerous problem books during my exam preparation period, and I named it the 'MUST study method.'
'MUST' is an acronym for Mistake Correction, Understanding, Skill, and Typing.
It refers to four important insights that can be gained by getting the problem wrong.
Only by gaining these four insights can you confidently say that you have mastered the workbook.
---From "PART 2: The 'MUST Study Method' of Chewing Up on Workbooks"
Creating a three-year study roadmap is a shortcut to success in the college entrance exam.
Make a long-term plan for each subject in your first, second, and third years, with specific goals for your studies.
Then, based on this, you can make a detailed plan and study much more systematically.
In addition, I can study confidently without feeling anxious or nervous about what I am studying.
From now on, I will present a study roadmap for each grade from the first year of high school to the third year of high school, so let's create our own study roadmap accordingly.

Publisher's Review
“I’m revealing all the exam preparation know-how I’ve accumulated through hard work!”
The only one in Korea! Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, and POSTECH
The secret to being accepted to four prestigious universities simultaneously
There is a saying that 'college entrance exams are a battle of information.'
This means that even if you study for the same amount of time, your grades will differ and your university level will change due to differences in study methods and entrance exam information.
In college entrance exams, the key to success is not who studies harder, but who knows and utilizes more study and entrance exam information.
Just because you diligently spend a lot of time studying doesn't mean your grades will improve overnight.
The first thing to do is to learn the right study method and learning strategy that suits you.
An So-rin, the author of YouTube channel "So-rin TV," who serves as a study mentor for 160,000 students, developed her own study method by facing the challenges head-on, as if heading to the ground, due to family circumstances that prevented her from attending an academy.
I painstakingly gathered the necessary information by searching through materials from the Ministry of Education and the Office of Admissions, saved my allowance to buy study guide books, and thoroughly read dozens of admissions stories from Seoul National University alumni on student communities.
Through this, I was able to obtain valuable information about studying and entrance exams, and by optimizing this information for myself, I was able to attack the entrance exams more thoroughly than anyone else.
I wrote this book to serve as a strong mentor to students who have the will to study but are at a loss as to where and how to start, and to students who have the skills to enter a better university but are about to give up due to a lack of entrance exam strategies.
"Secret Tutoring of a Seoul National University Student" is a book in which the author, who was a perennial middle-ranking student, reveals in detail the study secrets that allowed him to overcome the battlefield of the college entrance exams on his own, become the top student in his entire school, and be accepted to Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, and POSTECH at the same time.
This is a study method proven by the author's vivid college entrance exam experience that guarantees a guaranteed success, as well as the numerous successful experiences of 160,000 test takers who actually improved their grades and were accepted to their target universities.
We guide you through the success routines of the top 1% of students who are racing towards their target grades and college.
If you follow the study techniques in this book step by step, you will no longer be afraid of studying.
“If you master just one skill, you can go straight to Seoul National University!”

In the exam period where everyone is given the same limited time, using time as efficiently as possible has a powerful power that can change the outcome of the college entrance exam.

Rather than blindly increasing your study time, you should study smartly by acquiring only practical strategies that will definitely lead to passing.
This book contains six study techniques that are sure to improve your grades, as well as key study methods for each subject.
Beginning with Part 1, the author, a perennially middling gamer who achieved simultaneous acceptance to Seoul National University, Yonsei University, Korea University, and POSTECH through dramatic academic improvement, shares his own success story. Part 2 introduces six essential study techniques for every exam, from study planning to problem solving, memorization, test-taking, and entrance exam strategies. Part 3 presents core subject-specific strategies for achieving top-tier success, and Part 4 offers the secrets to developing a relentless study mindset.
This book is a secret guide that summarizes all of the author's study and entrance exam know-how, which has been briefly explained in video format.
