Education
"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education."
Martin Luther King Jr.


Early Education
I have extensive experience teaching young learners (ages 2-7) in South Korea and China, focusing on interactive and structured learning. As a homeroom teacher and language instructor, I specialized in phonics, grammar, creative writing, and sensory development activities. I also designed engaging lesson plans, coordinated student events, and conducted parent-teacher meetings to support holistic learning. My approach emphasizes fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and strong communication skills from an early age.
Elementary & Middle School Education
With extensive experience teaching students ages 7 to 14, I’ve focused on language development, critical thinking, and interactive learning through subjects like grammar, reading, writing, and debate. I’ve also led STEAM-focused summer and winter camps, fostering creativity and collaboration through hands-on projects and group activities.

Highschool & University Education
I’ve taught high school students in both academic and conversation English, focusing on debate, essay writing, and standardized test preparation (TOEFL, IELTS, OPIC). My approach emphasizes critical thinking, structured communication, and real-world applications to help students develop strong analytical and language skills.
Business English Education
I have taught professionals across various industries, focusing on business communication, presentations, negotiations, and industry-specific language. My lessons emphasize practical applications, helping clients improve fluency, confidence, and effectiveness in workplace settings.
