Over the years I have guided hundreds of students through the difficult patches of learning to speak English well. It's exciting to see people taking charge of their language study, becoming happy and not stuck in the frustrations of the past. There are times in language study when every learner hits a wall or reaches a plateau which seems to go on forever. I'm certain that a daily immersion in the language, in a "real world" context is what creates the mental shift for my students. I'm delighted to be a part of that shift.
Me as a Teacher
I work with students of all ages and levels who are active, motivated and interested in making real progress in their use of the best spoken English. Language is a bridge between people which allows us to understand each other well! To that end, I guide my students toward expressing themselves very clearly and creatively, with a strong skill in asking and answering questions. I consider myself to be a coach to my students, in that I actively listen, taking notes, while patiently correcting and explaining any mistakes in grammar or pronunciation. Always encouraging, I work so that a student finishes a lesson feeling that they are fulfilling their goals and have progressed in their learning.
My lessons & teaching style
Over my 7+ years of teaching on italki, I have learned what works, and what doesn't work in progressing conversational skill. Keeping the lessons based in what is most useful for each individual learner at that moment in their lives is the key to success. Let's find what works for you!
My aim is to guide everyone to master the art of conversation in English with the same level of confidence they have in their native language and to make it a comfortable and fun experience.
I struggled for years to learn English with various tools and courses, all in vain, until I met teacher Kim. Her unique teaching approach was the breakthrough I needed. She's not just a teacher; she's the key to my success in English. Her dedication and tailored lessons stand out. I highly recommend Teacher Kim; she exemplifies the pinnacle of educational excellence.

I‘ve stay in Italki for several years and have met a lot of italki teachers. Kim is the first and only one who captures my concern and knows how to help me improve. Her ideas about learning and communicating with all our senses inspire me greatly. For one who aims to achieve the advance level, Kim’s way of training is an operational approach.
So lucky to meet Kim here.
I believe I will enter into another new stage with Kim’ help.
