I wouldn’t be able to introduce myself without mentioning foreign languages. Following my parents' desire for me to experience a broader world beyond just Korea, I was naturally exposed to foreign languages from a young age. In middle school, I became very interested in learning English and even memorized the entire textbook passages. In university, I chose to double major in French and Chinese, as I wanted to study languages beyond English. After graduating, I worked at Samsung, handling international sales, where I used foreign languages in my daily work. Based on these experiences, I aim to be a Korean teacher who approaches students with an open mind and understands their perspectives.Me as a Teacher
During my third semester of graduate school, I had the opportunity to meet foreign language learners for the first time while participating in a Korean language teaching practicum. Although it was just a practicum, I was able to teach Korean based on the lesson plans I had created, presenting vocabulary and grammar to the students.
Later, as I was working on my thesis in my fifth semester, I applied for a graduate student tutor position for a summer Korean language program at Georgia Tech in the United States. I was assigned two beginner-level students and primarily taught speaking classes. The experience was both rewarding and motivating.My lessons & teaching style
I am a teacher who strives to understand the needs and challenges of my learners, and I am empathetic to the difficulties of learning a foreign language. I am patient with students when they struggle, offering encouragement to help build their confidence and motivation. I don’t stick to the same teaching style but try different approaches to keep students engaged. By incorporating simple quizzes and tasks, I help students internalize what they've learned. I aim to combine the materials and topics that students are interested in with what I believe is essential for their learning, creating lessons that are both enjoyable and educational.My teaching material

Kayla 선생님 was amazing during our first lesson. She spoke only Korean, which was challenging at first, but I really appreciated it. She provided me with great feedback on my mistakes during our lesson and also on the vocabulary and expressions we learnt in that lesson. I really recommend learning Korean with her. 감사합니다!
