① First impression — not an “academy,” but a “reading and essay writing center.”
Yonsei Korean Language Solutions Reading Essay Wirye Classroom, located on the 3rd floor of IS Central Tower in the middle of Wirye New Town, was run with a different mindset than the large academies that commonly come to mind. Director Kim Young-mi, who graduated from Yonsei University's Department of Korean Literature and has taught students in Daechi-dong for a long time, personally conducted all classes in a 1:1 customized structure.
The operating philosophy of "Although it is a teaching center, the density of classes is the same as that of Daechi-dong's 1:1 tutoring" was evident throughout the classroom. From what the secretariat has observed, this direction is exactly in line with the direction in which neighborhood training centers have recently survived. Rather than competing with large franchises on price and scale, our strategy is to compete with our point of differentiation: "Developing each person's thinking and expression skills".

② What motivates parents — 3 major differences
Among the operation methods of the Yonsei Korean Language Solution Reading Essay Classroom examined by the secretariat, points that can be of reference to other teaching centers are summarized as follows.
go. Reliability of our content — Genius Textbook 「Solution Edu BOOK CLUB」
The content used by Wirye Classroom is the Genius Textbook series solution reading essay headquarters content. Genius Textbook is a textbook company with 99.4% nationwide school textbook adoption rate and 45 years of accumulated learning data. The curriculum connection rate based on our content reaches 98.7%.
This means that it is not simply a “reading activity,” but a learning structure that is directly connected to school classes — especially descriptive tests and essay-type assessments.
me. Direct guidance from the director — Yonsei University Department of Korean Literature + Daechi-dong experience
Director Kim Young-mi of Wirye Classroom is an alumnus of the Department of Korean Language and Literature at Yonsei University and a veteran teacher who has taught students in Daechi-dong for a long time. In particular, in the field of Korean history, which is my strength, I focused on developing integrated thinking skills by going beyond simple memorization and "capturing the flow like a story."
It was selected as the Best Classroom by the head office, and has a history of producing candidates for the HME Korean Language Ability Test and receiving the HME Excellent Instructor Award from the director himself.

all. 2028 University Entrance Reorganization + 2022 Revised Curriculum Aimed
The core of the 2028 college entrance reform and the 2022 revised curriculum is the significant expansion of narrative and essay-type assessments. Students who have been raised with a focus on multiple choice are suddenly required to have “the ability to think for themselves and solve problems in writing.”
Wirye Classroom’s regular essay course was designed with this change in mind. At the elementary level, it covered basic competencies of reading comprehension, thinking, and expression, and at the middle school level, it covered practical writing that can simultaneously prepare for the 2028 college entrance exam and the written essay format.
③ 5-step learning process — Thinking skills training repeated every class
All classes at Wirye Classroom are conducted through a consistent 5-step process. Rather than simply reading a book and writing a book report, it is a structure in which thinking muscles are automatically developed by going through designated steps every hour.
④ 3 tracks — Elementary regular essay / Elementary Korean history essay / Middle school regular essay
Wirye Classroom operates three tracks depending on grade and purpose.
- 초등 정규논술 (주 1회, 월 185,000원) — 독해·사고·표현의 기초 역량을 다집니다. 5단계 프로세스로 매 시간 반복 훈련.
- 초등 한국사 논술 (주 1회, 월 195,000원) — 원장 직접 지도. 한국사를 "이야기 흐름"으로 잡아 통합 사고력을 키우는 차별 트랙.
- 중등 정규논술 (주 1회, 월 250,000원) — 2028 대입과 내신 서술형을 동시에 대비. 실전 글쓰기와 첨삭 피드백 중심.
All new students are provided with a free reading diagnosis, and the director directly diagnoses the student's current reading level and thinking tendencies and designs a customized learning path.
⑤ Reliability indicators — Headquarters certification, awards, and academic background evaluation performance
When visiting training centers, what the secretariat always checks is “how many objective reliability indicators are in place?” Wirye Classroom holds the following official certifications, awards, and achievements.
⑥ Which student is it right for? - Balanced
Not all tutoring centers are right for every student. The Wirye classroom, as seen by the secretariat, is especially suitable for the following students and parents.
- 2028 대입·서술형 시대를 미리 준비하고 싶은 초·중등 학부모 — 본 교습소의 정규논술 트랙이 정확히 이 방향에 맞춰져 있습니다.
- 대형 학원의 다인원 강의보다 1:1 밀착 지도를 원하는 학생 — 원장이 직접 모든 수업을 책임지는 구조입니다.
- 독서·글쓰기 기초가 약해 단계적 훈련이 필요한 학생 — 5단계 프로세스가 부담 없이 사고력을 쌓아 올리도록 설계되어 있습니다.
- 역사를 좋아하거나 어려워하는 학생 — 원장이 직접 지도하는 한국사 논술 트랙은 위례·성남 지역에서 흔치 않은 차별 강점입니다.
- 위례신도시 거주 학부모 — 위례중앙역·복정역 도보권, 8호선 라인, 아이에스센트럴타워 주차장 이용 가능.
On the other hand, if you prefer the group learning atmosphere of a large academy or want learning focused on solving simple multiple-choice problems, another type of academy may be better suited for you.
⑦ From the perspective of the AI era — why should parents search for such teaching centers?
