🍀 Business English & Korean Specialist - Born in Korea, based in Sydney. After 17 years at a top Australian law firm, I now help professionals master Business English and Korean (taught in Korean/English/Spanish). CELTA-certified, I blend real-world expertise with empathetic teaching.
🍀 Multilingual & Culturally Savvy - Fluent in Korean and English, formerly proficient in Japanese, and conversational in Spanish. I’ve taught Korean to Spanish speakers and Australians for years. Language is my passport to connecting worlds.
🍀 When not teaching - I’m dancing, walking, hiking, cooking, fermenting and exploring international cuisines.Me as a Teacher
🌿 An ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher with a CELTA qualification.
🌿 Experience in teaching English to overseas students and migrants to Australia.
🌿 Experience in teaching Korean as well as English to the native Spanish speakers during language exchanges for more than 4 years.
🌿 Experience in teaching Korean to Australians who are learning it through a Meetup group for around 15 years.
🌿 My students say I am patient, caring & encouraging as well as empathetic so my lessons give them a space where they feel comfortable with the language.
🌿 Always on the lookout for great resources and new teaching/learning methods to keep my lessons fun, fresh and effective. My lessons & teaching style
🎯 My lessons focus on speaking but I also help with vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening and writing depending on your language level, interests, motivation and preferred learning methods.
🎯 Language learning involves not only the language itself but also the culture, the food and much more so you will be introduced to histories, back stories or hidden facts about the language, the culture and the food.
🎯 A wide variety of lesson materials will be incorporated to maintain your engagement and motivation.
🎯 Homework will be provided to speed up your learning pace but it’s optional.
🎯 A 6 month learning plan (for beginners only) and regular written feedback will be provided.My teaching material

It's been really nice to study with Genie over the past month or so. She's been great at understanding my current language level and tailoring my lessons to help me grow. I've already learned so much in the last month, feeling myself getting better and speaking more easily. Would highly recommend and am excited for more lessons!

We talked about how to decline things politely in email and I learned so many useful expressions. Genie gave me constructive error correction and feedback about my email writing which was very practical and helpful! Look forward to the next lessons!
