My name is Lydia and I am originally from South Korea. I lived in Canada teaching English and helping refugees to learn the language so that they can have a better future in the country. I have lived in Australia as well and am currently living in the US. I studied TESOL in university in Canada. I am married to an American and it made me think about how to teach Korean through English in a fun and effective way. I love introducing Korea and the culture to people from all over the world. I want other people to experience beautiful things that I have experienced through languages such as making friends from all over the world and impacting other people.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I personally struggled a lot when I was learning English in schools. However, I started having foreign friends in college and realized how fun it was to learn English. I decided to study TESOL in Canada because I love to help people enjoy learning the language so I got my TESOL certificate in order to teach English professionally. I will share all of my tips and strategies with my students and encourage them to keep on learning and never give up!
I married an American who has been learning Korean so I have been trying very hard to come up with good ideas to teach Korean through English. Everyone needs a good teacher who can guide them to right paths and I want to be the one for you!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
For those who want to improve their speaking skills, I prefer to have a lot of conversations so that they can listen and speak the language. By using different materials such as cards, games, and pictures, I will engage students and make my lessons more interesting and fun. I love to teach my students phrases that native English speakers use a lot so that their learning can be very practical. I want them to use what they learn in my class in real life so that they will be able to see their improvement and get encouraged. If my students want to learn English for academic purposes, I can use books and different resources to help them with their vocabulary, reading and writing skills.

Beginner/Intermediate Korean with HOMEWORK and learning materials
Lydia is an amazing teacher. I enjoy our lessons so much! I have a learning disability that I was afraid to share with her at first but once I finally did it was such a relief. She was very accepting and made me feel like I could still learn and still be a good student. She will work with you 100% towards learning Korean.

Great lesson! It's getting more difficult as I go further and it's great that she reviews things from past lessons to ensure I do not forget.

Today's lesson was fun - we reviewed our last lesson materials and also started going over past tenses. She made me aware of common mistakes that English speakers make so that I can avoid them. She makes me read the conversation sentences in Korean and that helps me tremendously in getting better and smoother, though I have a long way to go.

As I'm getting deeper into learning, I really like that the beginning of the lesson, there is a little time for free talking where I attempt to utilized what I've learned, even if it's in Konglish (Korean + English) form. As I'm learning more, Lydia quizzes me with a combination of things I just learned along with older material as well so that I do not forget. I'm really enjoying myself!

Today we went over more grammar lessons but happen to start out the lesson with Korean conversation. I appreciated her speaking with me in Korean so I can be immersed but she still used language/grammar within my knowledge limits. She's very patient and understanding, even as I struggled through the honorific versions of sentences.
