About Me
italki teacher since Nov 17, 2020Me as a Teacher
Ever since delivery, I became interested in education. My interest led me to acquire TESOL certificate in 2014 and develop my passion about education while teaching English as a lecturer at Northeast Normal University in China. Then I taught Chinese Korean language from 2015 to 2017, which has widened my teaching experience. In order to improve the quality of teaching, I have tried to acquire Korean Language Teaching Certificate, which helped me selected to be the most preferred teacher by students. Based on my interest and passion about education, teaching experience as language lecturer and linguistic competence, I would like to become one of the most trustworthy Korean teachers! My lessons & teaching style
For those who would like to better understand Korean culture as well as Korean language itself, I would like to teach the 'real' and 'conventional' Korean which is actually spoken and written at the moment out there based on real time materials such as news articles, scripts from TV Series, newly released books, etc. The real time Korean would be taught in 'Media Korean' class. Also, for those who would like to actually live and work in South Korea, I would like to share my experience working for Korean companies for more than 5 years and cover frequently-used-expressions at work based on a wide variety of situations the students might face in the near future during 'Business Korean' class.My teaching material
