More about me

 

From an early age, my passion for working with kids has been an intrinsic part of who I am. The seeds of this dedication were planted when I was just four years old, watching over and nurturing my younger sisters. As I grew older, my path led me to various educational institutions where I honed my skills as an educator. However, I soon realized that my true calling lay in fostering the holistic development and well-being of children, extending far beyond the confines of a standard curriculum.

Driven by this realization, I embarked on a mission to create Big Sister Kim—an endeavor that allows me to forge deep connections with children on an individual level. Through personalized one-to-one sessions, I am committed to guiding young minds through crucial aspects of growth, focusing on intercultural communication, communication skills, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence.

As an avid traveller, one of my main goals is to instill in children a profound understanding and appreciation of cultures from around the world. By immersing them in captivating discussions and interactive activities, I foster a sense of global citizenship, promoting inclusivity and a celebration of diversity.

Moreover, I firmly believe that effective communication is the cornerstone of success. Through engaging discussions, I empower children to enhance their verbal and written expression, while nurturing active listening skills and fostering confidence in public speaking. These vital communication skills will serve them well in all aspects of life.

At the heart of my approach lies the cultivation of critical thinking abilities. By encouraging thought-provoking discussions, problem-solving activities, and stimulating puzzles, I empower children to become astute analysts, skilled evaluators of information, and creative problem solvers.

Additionally, I am deeply committed to helping children develop emotional intelligence and well-being. In a nurturing environment, I guide them through the exploration of emotions, the cultivation of empathy, and the building of resilience. By promoting self-awareness, self-care, and self-love, I equip them with invaluable tools to navigate their emotions and relationships confidently.

In my sessions, I dedicate quality time and personalized attention to each child I work with. Together, we will embark on a journey that blends education and enjoyment, kindling your child's passion for learning and expanding their understanding of the world.
