Experienced education specialist with a passion for curriculum development.
What I'm looking for
I am an education specialist with over 20 years of experience in teaching, education management, and curriculum development. My journey has been dedicated to fostering a whole-learner education through a values-based approach, emphasizing resilience, adventure, and selflessness. I believe that education extends beyond the classroom, and I strive to create enriching learning experiences for my students.
Currently, I work as a self-employed Online IGCSE Korean Coach, where I inspire students to achieve their goals in learning the Korean language. My previous roles as a Korean Teacher at Harrow International School and ISE International School in Thailand allowed me to immerse students in Korean culture and language through innovative teaching methods. I am proud to have been recognized as the most popular professor at Kyung-In Women's College, where I coordinated and taught various courses, including Philosophy of Education and Women Studies.
