"Sponsored Study Coaching Strategies" introduces concrete, practical principles and examples for students, parents, and educational professionals who recognize the importance of self-directed learning—studying through self-planning and self-executing—but struggle with how to implement it.
The author, who has been coaching elementary, middle, and high school students for 25 years in Daechi-dong, the mecca of education, suggests ways for elementary, middle, and high school students to gain confidence through study, rebuild relationships with their parents, and continue to grow.


Rather than simply focusing on improving grades, the focus is on learning methods that foster students' ability to study independently.
He proposed a 'personalized learning method' that discovers each student's learning style and strengths, and especially emphasized the importance of 'joint learning' in which parents and children grow together, rather than having children study alone through self-directed learning.
Additionally, he emphasized that a child's growth should not be judged solely on the results of their studies, but rather as a process of finding direction in life.


Learning becomes enjoyable when you find a study method that works for you.

"Spontaneous Study Coaching Strategy" states that there is no right way to study, and that each student must find their own way.
But what is the reality?
Most students are at a loss as to where and how to start, simply doing what their school, academy, and parents tell them to do.
Because it doesn't suit you, you lose motivation to study and develop negative feelings about studying.

The author, who has been providing learning coaching in Daechi-dong, guides parents on why, how, and what they should do to help their children find their own reasons for studying, make their own plans, and put them into practice.
This article explains the coaching strategy that fosters the self-motivation that allows students to immerse themselves in their studies without having to be pressured to "study." It also understands that each student has different tendencies, interests, and learning styles, and introduces methods to help students find their own path.
It contains things I've realized while working with students and practical advice from my experience as a mother of two children.

What Should Parents Do to Encourage Self-Study?

What parents worry about most is their children's future.
Faced with the enormous goal of college entrance, children often feel anxious about which direction to take and what to prepare for.
Especially in these times when technology and jobs are changing so rapidly, it is inevitable that concerns about not only academics but also career paths will deepen.


Middle and high school are not just a time to accumulate knowledge.
During this period, you need to ask yourself questions like, “Why should I study?”, “What am I good at and what do I like to do?”, and “What are the goals I want to achieve?” and experience finding the answers.


But realistically, it is not easy for students to design their own future.
In Korea's educational environment, it is difficult for students to clearly define their goals and direction amidst the vast amount of learning and fierce competition.
Parents and teachers often focus their advice on grades, so students often end up following the path their parents or school wants them to follow rather than finding their own goals.


However, children who study on their own go beyond simply taking charge of their learning; they prepare themselves to design their own lives.
You will lead your own learning without being swayed by external pressures, and in the process, you will clearly establish your own goals and dreams.
At this time, voluntary study is the student's choice, but it is the parents' responsibility to respect and support that choice.
The author also emphasizes that parents' trust and patience are more important than anything else for a student to become a self-directed student.
Because sometimes, the process of failure and frustration is necessary.
At times like these, parents' warm encouragement gives students the courage to stand up again.

The power to study on your own, the power to live on your own

“Voluntary study” is not simply a means to improve grades.
It is a process that develops the ability to solve problems on one's own, think, and enjoy learning.
And that strength becomes the foundation for taking charge of your own life even as an adult.

The ability to self-study provides a core competency necessary for finding one's place in a changing society. In an era where AI and technological advancements are eliminating many jobs and creating new ones, self-study becomes a tool for forging one's own path even in an uncertain future.
This strength, which cannot be measured by the numbers on a report card alone, fosters the ability to design new paths based on one's strengths and goals, even as the world changes.

What parents today want most from their children's education is the strength to find their own path without wavering even after the college entrance exam.
The power of self-study is what makes that wish a reality.
Planning your future isn't just about where to go to college or what career to choose.
It's a process of exploring who you are, what you're good at and what you like, and through that, finding your own path.
This process is not simple and takes time, but through self-study, students will gradually find their way.


"Spontaneous Study Coaching Strategies" will motivate and provide a new approach to studying for all parents who support their children's dreams but don't know how to help, as well as for students who want to learn how to study independently.
Starting today, let's encourage our children to set their own goals and build small experiences toward achieving them.
