Shinsegae Department Store Academy to Increase Small Group Classes by 20%

Shinsegae Academy will increase the number of small-group courses, including one-on-one classes, by 20% compared to last year in the upcoming summer semester.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Shinsegae Department Store's cultural center, Shinsegae Academy, announced on the 27th that it will increase the number of small-group courses, including one-on-one lessons, by 20% compared to last year for the upcoming summer semester.

Since last year, influenced by COVID-19, Shinsegae Academy has newly organized cooking courses and others into small classes. For cooking courses, the total capacity was set to fewer than 10 people, and practical sessions were changed to pairs or individual practice. The previous on-site tasting of completed dishes was omitted, and instead, participants can take their beautifully packaged dishes home. This content, aligned with the growing indoor activity trends such as home drinking and home cooking, has received favorable reviews.

In the summer semester starting in June, the academy will further expand small-group, New Normal era customized hobbies and unique courses. One-on-one instrument lessons will be greatly increased. Existing instrument courses such as cello, piano, and violin, which previously lasted over an hour, will be shortened to 20 minutes and prepared as private lessons, expected to attract much interest from students.

For the first time, an automobile maintenance class will be introduced. This course, held at Hyundai Motor Studio Goyang, can be applied for through Shinsegae Times Square and Starfield Goyang Academy. Targeting a total of six students, it will teach self-maintenance tips that are difficult for beginner drivers, such as checking tire air pressure and replacing wiper and air conditioner filters.

A Shinsegae Department Store official said, “We have organized small classes in areas that customers are most interested in recently to increase satisfaction and add safety to the lectures. We will continue to present high-quality content tailored to students’ demands and lead lifestyle trends.”
