Seodaemun-gu University Student Instructor 'Seochi Saem' Middle School 1st Grade Math Video Lecture

First Initiative This Year to Reduce Educational Disparities and Private Education Costs
Six University Students Selected Through Document Screening and Lecture Demonstrations After Open Recruitment
Middle School Students Enroll via Seodaemun Career and Academic Support Center Website

Seodaemun-gu (District Mayor Lee Seongheon) announced on the 29th that from March to December this year, university student instructors called ‘Seodaemun Seochi-ssam’ will provide free online math lecture videos for first-year middle school students in the area.

This is a project being implemented for the first time this year to reduce educational disparities and private education expenses. The district selected six instructors through an open recruitment targeting university students in the area, followed by a first round of document screening and a second round of lecture demonstrations.

For reference, the name ‘Seochi-ssam’ was inspired by ‘Seochi,’ the promotional character of Seodaemun-gu (the magpie of Seodaemun-gu).

The university student instructors, ‘Seodaemun Seochi-ssam,’ will teach math, a subject that becomes more difficult after entering middle school. They will receive a modest scholarship.

Any middle school student residing in Seodaemun-gu can watch the pre-recorded lecture videos for free by registering as a member of the Seodaemun Career and Academic Support Center and accessing the center’s website.

At the appointment ceremony held on the 23rd of this month, Mayor Lee Seongheon said, “I hope the Seodaemun Seochi-ssam instructors will teach with a sense of mission to provide high-quality, customized educational content to young people.”
