🌟 Teaching Philosophy
I believe in continuous learning and growth, inspiring my students with the same mindset. For me, language learning goes beyond memorization—it's about understanding culture and ways of thinking, which I integrate into every lesson.My lessons & teaching style

It was only our second class but I feel like I have learned a lot from Aya 쌤. I get to practice speaking and listening a lot and she introduces new vocab in a way that makes sense to me. These were my top 3 goals so it is evident that she plans the class based on my needs. 아야 선생님, 고마웠습니다! 다음 시간 뵐게요! 😊
