I've been learning Korean with my teacher Jo Lee for a few weeks now.
I'm really, really enjoying it.
Jo Lee has her own method of learning, without pressure, but with efficiency.
Her kindness and humour make the lessons so much fun that I don't realise time is passing.
As I'm a beginner, it's going to take me a while to be able to speak Korean properly, but that doesn't matter, I've got a good teacher! Fabienne, Mulhouse
안녕하세요?
My name is Jo and I am from Seoul, Korea. I am a fully trained, qualified and experienced language teacher.
I started my teaching job about 10 years ago. Whilst teaching Korean as a voluntary worker, I realized that being a native speaker was not enough to teach someone else. That’s why I started my BA in teaching Korean as foreign language and just earned a master’s degree in Global Korean Studies. Currently I am working at Online Sejong Institute (the equivalent of the British Council or Goethe Institutes in the Korean language).
I enjoy teaching as I can meet people from various backgrounds. I consider myself quite a patient & encouraging teacher and use a various teaching method based on the students’ personality & needs.
I understand people do have different expectations & commitments about foreign language learning, but I hope you understand that you need to do a certain amount of work before & after class. I can help you to learn more efficiently and effectively.
