About Me
italki teacher since Apr 29, 2022Interest topicReadingHistoryTravel
Nice to meet you! My name is Grace and I am from the United States.
I speak three languages: English, Korean and Spanish.
I love languages so I majored in Applied Linguistics at UCLA.
As I become more interested in teaching, I recently completed my Master's Degree in Foreign Language Teaching at Michigan State University to further dive into teaching pedagogy!
I also have experience in translation and interpreting as well!
In my free time, I love to read, travel, and do volunteer work. Hope to meet you soon!Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I am very flexible with my classes!
I have experience teaching at a university, secondary school, and private institutions.
Also, I have taught both younger students and adults online and offline.
Feel free to let me know your preferences!My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are quite informal and engaging; if possible, I try to create a light environment. This is because I like to create a more relaxed space for learning for my students!My teaching material

Grace is super friendly and interesting teacher to study with. She always prepares new and good educational materials and our classes unfortunately feel much quicker than they really are. I'm already looking forward for our next lesson :)

영어 배운지 30년 동안 이렇게 재밌게 수업해 주시는 선생님은 처음이에요!!
돈이 많다면 정말 매일 매일 그레이스 선생님께 배우고 싶을 정도에요.
