About Me
italki teacher since Mar 18, 2021InterestsBusiness & FinanceReadingWriting
A native speaker of Korean, currently living in Singapore. Back in Korea, I started my teaching career in high school as a certified public teacher. After getting married, I moved to Hong Kong in 2016.
Moving to HK was an unexpected turning point in my life: I've never known I would live in a foreign country! As a foreigner, but as a Korean teacher, I fortunately continue my teaching career in HK.
(After spending more than seven years in Hong Kong, I moved to Singapore in July 2023.)Me as a Teacher
1. Studied language and education in university:
majored in language and education, and studied further about language teaching for three years to get a government-issued teacher certificate (succeeded in getting the certificate in 2011).
2. Started my teaching career in high school:
for four years, I taught high school students (aged 16-18) in Gyeonggi province, Korea. Back then, I was a quite young and passionate teacher.
3. As a Korean teacher in HK and SG:
with great chances, I happened to meet various students who wanted to learn Korean for various reasons. From teaching Korean alphabet to discussing economic issues in Korean, I taught lots of students with various Korean levels.My lessons & teaching style
1. BEING PATIENT
: not in a rush, wait for students' to follow, remember or understand
2. MAKING EASIER
: explaining complicated language system in simple concepts is not an easy job, but it is kind of my talent
3. BEING PROFESSIONAL
: spending precious lesson time with all chit-chat: that is not my typeMy teaching material

She is amazing as a teacher! I feel very comfortable talking to her. I know I make a lot of mistakes when I make sentences, but she always encourages me to help me speak more. Thank you very much!

Jessie 선생님 is very chill, encouraging but also clear and concise in her teaching. She gives new vocabularies in real-time which helps me form sentences for new grammar points smoothly.
I also really enjoyed our free-flow conversation. She matched my speaking speed and level of vocabulary so I felt comfortable speaking.
