About Brandon


Bio

They say knowing is one thing and teaching is another. That is absolutely true but both knowing (rather, learning to know) and teaching are two things I feel most passionate about. I love to teach and you can say my love of teaching comes from a lifelong love of learning. As a Korean-American I was born and raised in Seoul, Korea and have lived in the States since 1992 working for one of the world's largest multinational enterprises. I have mastered two languages of Korean and English along...

They say knowing is one thing and teaching is another. That is absolutely true but both knowing (rather, learning to know) and teaching are two things I feel most passionate about. I love to teach and you can say my love of teaching comes from a lifelong love of learning. As a Korean-American I was born and raised in Seoul, Korea and have lived in the States since 1992 working for one of the world's largest multinational enterprises. I have mastered two languages of Korean and English along with their multi-faceted cross cultural aspects.

I specialize in tutoring Korean and ESL/TEFL. Korean is my native language and I have the TEFL Diploma, moderated by BRIDGETEFL, USA. I assign challenging homework after every lesson, and provide periodic assessments and progress reports.

I studied Theology at Bethel Seminary, St Paul, MN.

I graduated from Sogang University, Seoul, South Korea; have numerous translation/interpretation experiences of Korean-English; I taught Korean to both English and Japanese speakers for many years.

I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve success in your studies!

Excellent tutor and editor of Korean language

Brandon helped me with editing a document written in Korean that had a tight deadline. He worked meticulous and was very good at explaining all the changes that he recommended. He is not only great in Korean language but also very articulate in English so we were able to efficiently complete the project in record time. I would highly recommend him as a Korean tutor, editor, translator, and as a teacher. He is knowledgeable and competent at what he does and is pleasant to work with.

Great Tutor

He was very understanding and made me feel very comfortable in the lesson. I learned more in this lesson than any other teacher and feel more confident in my Korean speaking skills.

Best Tutor Ever!!!

My son likes studying with Brandon so much that he asked if we can now have MORE lessons each week. Brandon is a kind tutor and very gifted teacher. He makes lessons fun and very informative.

Engaging and motivating

Brandon is enthusiastic and always upbeat. He is flexible and happy to adapt the lesson to the discussion and our interests. I'm not sure how many more letters I need to meet the 160 letter requirement for this review.

Great Korean Tutor.

I've had an amazing time with Brandon. He doesn't rush, and is very thorough in the lesson. He's made me more confident in my journey, learning Korean is a challenge. But with him the whole world is for the taking.

My son finished the lesson and was extremely excited about doing more lessons with Brandon. He said he learned a lot already this first time and he cannot wait to learn more!
