I’m Christine Koo. I was born and raised in South Korea. I live in U.S.A now. I enjoy reading books and taking walks.
Me as a Teacher
I am a passionate and experienced Korean teacher. I worked as an elementary school teacher in Korea for 9 years. I also studied Educational Counseling and Children’s Ministry in graduate school, which has helped me understand and support students more effectively. After moving to the U.S., I taught at a weekend Korean school for 6 years. Currently, I am a Korean language teacher at a private school in US. I am teaching students of various ages and backgrounds. It brings me so much joy to see people around the world eager to learn Korean.
My lessons & teaching style
I specialize in helping beginners to read Hangul/Korean easily. Lessons include real-life dialogues, cultural content, and plenty of practice tailored to each student’s level and goal.
A Typical Lesson Plan
• Warm-up: Short review or conversation
• Main Lesson: Vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening, and speaking • Practice: Role plays or writing
• Wrap-up: Summary and homework, each class is customized for the student’s needs and level.
