What I'm looking for

I seek a long-term role in adult education where I can design curriculum, teach diverse learners, edit academic materials, and contribute to program development and training.

I am an experienced Professor of Adult ESL with fourteen years teaching at universities, community centers, and government programs across South Korea. I design original curriculum, lead conversation and presentation classes, and provide focused private tutoring and placement assessments.

I have substantial publication and editing experience, serving as a textbook content editor and managing editor for an online magazine, producing and proofreading academic research across disciplines. I am TESOL certified, proficient with MS Office, E-RURI and KORUS platforms, and speak basic Korean.

I have delivered specialized training for PyeongChang Winter Olympics volunteers and regional government officials, developed non-credit and credit-bearing courses, and consistently produce engaging materials and assessments to encourage natural communication and measurable progress.
