At 1) SP. Daechi Reading Town all of our faculty members are highly educated professionals, most hold Masters of Education or English degrees from the United States or in South Korea. We have many years of teaching experience in highly competitive fields like Daechi in Gangnam, Seoul, Korea. We love our job and know how to communicate and delicately treat each faculty member. From our years of experience, we find it imperative that everyone is treated fairly and respectfully.
In recent breakout of COVID-19, it was a challenging time for many of us in this field of business. It has caused many businesses laying off countless number of teachers and closing until further notice throughout South Korea. However, our company and all of faculty members saw this as a great opportunity to gleam by distinguishing ourselves. Thus, we are also able to create a systematized online learning environment for our students.
Moreover, we have successfully launched our 2) second branch named G.T. Center in 2016, located near the main center. The branch is targeted for gifted and talented students to acquire various English skills through Debate & Presentation, Project-based Learning, and Subject Learning (ex. Science Experiments). At G.T. Center, students can enroll in our Honors program which is designed from American text books and New Pathway which is created for gifted and talented students between 1st and 5th grade.
Furthermore, in spring of 2020, we have launched our third premium program, 3) Swaton International Academy. At Swaton International Academy, we offer and guide personalized guidance to students who are preparing to study abroad or attend international schools in South Korea. Moreover, at Swaton International Academy, not only do we guide students with their school projects, but we also offer and assist each individual student to create professional essay based on their individual characteristics and learning style.
We are always determined in instilling a passion for learning and helping all our students achieve academic independence.

Each week, students choose 1 or 2 books from Reading Town's in-house library and read them at home or at Reading Town. Once students have completed reading the book, they then discuss the book (or books) with their instructors and take a web-based learning assessment.
We offer a variety of reading programs for our students based on their grades and we have multiple book collections in our in-house library as well as online library with a total of more than 4,000 hand-selected books.
