When I was a junior in high school, I made the decision to go in the field of Civil Engineering; however, I shuttered at the thought of what school I would be attending to learn this trait.  After getting my PSAT score back from my high school counselor, it was almost a slap to the face from reality telling me, “If you want to get into a school that will extract your potential to be something great, you need to revive this area of your application from the dead.”  So, after hearing of all the great tutoring Mr. Kim gives at Linden Akademia from all my friends, I decided to give it a go, not expecting much improvement since I am already over half way through my junior year.  As the days rolled on in his classroom, I found to my surprise that I was learning so much that I never knew and my skepticism in his teachings quickly dwindled.  I could not believe the gold mine of information his teaching supplied.  In the nine short months I was with him, my SAT score soared to full 600 points when I took my final SAT, and I do not believe I would have been offered my full ride scholarship to top tier engineering colleges, such as Georgia Tech UIUC, appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point without Mr. Kim’s help to achieve that score.  Although I believe the opportunities that Mr. Kim makes available at his school are priceless, he was able to put a small figure for them, but believe me it was well worth it, after all, you can’t put a price on your child’s future.

내가 고등학교 1학년일 때 토목공학 분야로 가기로 결정하였습니다. 하지만 나는 이 특성을 배울 수 있도록 하는 학교에 대한 생각을 닫았습니다. PSAT점수를 내 고등학교 카운슬러한테 돌려받고 난 후  내게 말하고 있는 현실에 충격을 받았습니다. “만약에 당신이 어떤 특별한 것이 되도록 잠재력을 발휘하기 위해 학교에 들어가길 원한다면, 당신은 죽음의 지원분야를 부활시킬 필요가 있습니다.” 그래서 LindenAkademia 선생님의 좋은 수업에 대해 친구로부터 듣고 난 후 수업을 듣기로 결정하였습니다. 하지만 고등학교 1학년 동안 이미 불안전했기 때문에 큰 향상을 기대하진 않았습니다. 그의 수업을 듣고 난 후 내가 결코 알지 못했던 것들을 다양하게 배움으로써 내 회의론이 급격히 감소하는 것에 놀라워하였습니다. 나는 Linden선생님의 수업에 제공하는 정보의 금광에 대해 믿을 수가 없었습니다. 내가 그와 함께 한 9개월 동안의 짧은 기간동안 나의 SAT마지막 점수는 600점이 급등하였으며 Linden선생님의 도움없이는 Georgia Tech 또는 UIUC, West Point  육군사관학교 같은 최고의 공학대학에 100% 장학금을 받으며 다닐 수 있을거라 생각하지 못했습니다.
