A Bit About Me

I’ve been an English teacher for seven years and spent five of those years teaching in Seoul, South Korea. My favorite part of teaching is seeing my students grow and achieve their personal goals. It’s incredibly rewarding to see how their improved language skills can open new doors and opportunities for them. With my degree and experience as a language learner myself, I can relate to the challenges my students face and provide the support they need. I’m patient and understanding because I’ve been in your shoes.

In my free time, I love dancing, exercising, playing video games, and spending time with loved ones. These activities keep me balanced and energized, which I bring into my teaching to create a positive and engaging learning environment.

I can't wait to help you learn English!
