I have been teaching Korean since 2016 — and honestly, it never feels like work. Korean is my favorite thing I do, and I think students feel that energy from the very first lesson.
I am a native Korean speaker who has lived in the United States for ten years. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Teaching Korean as a Foreign Language, along with degrees in Biology, Social Work, and a Master of Social Work (MSW). I spent two years teaching Korean at the university level, and I currently teach at a Korean language school while also working with private students one-on-one.
Over nearly a decade, I have worked with learners of all ages — from young children sounding out Hangul for the first time to adults in their 70s picking up Korean purely for the joy of it. My students come with all kinds of motivations: a K-drama that got them hooked, a K-pop artist they want to understand, a trip to Korea they are planning, or just a curiosity they finally decided to act on. I love learning each student's "why" and building lessons around it. I also work as a data analyst professionally, so I tend to be intentional about tracking progress and adjusting what is and is not working — making sure every session actually moves students forward.
