My name is Hyunjung M., and I am an enthusiastic educator with over 20 years of experience in language instruction. I was born and raised in Korea, where I spent 19 years teaching English to elementary and middle school students. After moving to the United States seven years ago, I continued my passion for education by earning a TESOL certificate from Arizona State University (ASU), adding to my previous TESOL certification from Sookmyung University and my degree in Early Childhood Education.
My long career in Korea taught me how to be patient and how to explain difficult grammar and vocabulary in a way that is easy to understand. Recently, I have enjoyed teaching Korean one-on-one to international students for a year, helping them navigate both the language and the beautiful culture of my home country.
My tutoring approach is very student-centered and flexible. I believe that every learner has different goals, whether you want to master the Korean alphabet (Hangeul), improve your conversational skills for travel, or understand Korean media like K-dramas and music. I like to use various materials to keep our sessions engaging and practical. Because I speak both English and Korean fluently, I can clearly explain the "why" behind Korean grammar while sharing real-life cultural tips. I have a strong desire to help you succeed, and I am excited to support you in any way you need. I look forward to starting this journey with you.
