Korean Tutors & Teachers

I completed certificate course in teaching korean as a second language for foreigners. I worked at korean language academy and I met many students from Japan, America, U.K, Canada, Portugal and taught them Korean. I also taught korean as a volunteer worker at the church, though I don't belong to any religion. I just liked to teach korean and help foreign workers who want to learn korean. After I quitted these works, I've been taught some students as a tutor. I taught and helped them to get TOPIK certificate. Though that practical experiences, I could learn more like making a effective teaching plan, methods of teaching, communication skill with students. I always tried to give interesting class with enthusiasm. Happily, students liked my class and also said that I am a good teacher. I feel worth when students say like that. But I feel worth most, when I see the improvement of students' Korean. I think that is the why I want to teach Korean.

Also it reflects the way I think and teach. ____________________________________________________________________________ (ENG) ____________________________________________________________________________ For most people the goal in learning a foreign language is to gain fluency. There will be challenges, probably some difficult ones too. But the rewards and fulfillment from being able to communicate in a foreign language will serve you for the rest of your life. If you've already experienced it, You know that it can open doors to so many new opportunities, adventures, meaningful connections, more earning potentials in your career as well as other good surprises. The possibility of broadening our horizons and experiences through language learning is why so many people strive towards fluency in a foreign language. ____________________________________________________________________________ Have you ever asked yourself these questions? - Why did I decide to learn a foreign language? - What have I tried so far? What has worked and what hasn't worked for well? - Do I have a structure in my study routine? or - Do I just study whatever comes to mind on any given day? - Am I keeping a good track of what I’ve learned? - Why do I feel trapped without making much progress even after months or years of studying? - Why is it so hard to reach any decent level of proficiency in language learning? ____________________________________________________________________________ With the benefits from the internet and smartphone revolution, We're living in an incredible era with more tools, books, courses and teachers to help us reach our language goals. Then learning a foreign language should be easier now than ever! But, Not many people achieve even a modest level of fluency in language learning. Why is that? We all have learned how to communicate in our native language? Why does attaining even a decent level of fluency in a foreign language seem so difficult and sometimes feels impossible? ____________________________________________________________________________ While there is no clear answer to why so many people fail to obtain a decent level of fluency. These are what most people do by default when it comes to language learning: 1.Take a language course (at a private language academy, community college, university, etc.) - Everyone in class does the same thing at the same pace. - Teacher(s) have to follow curriculum and cannot deviate much from the curriculum that must be followed. - More emphasis on going through the course materials on time (even if it means to sacrifice time reviewing, applying learning for practical purposes.) - Primary goal is to pass test or exams. - Students might be forced to repeat the same course if they fail to pass the course. - Learning is for the sake of passing exams or obtaining a qualification. 2.Take online lessons - Many beginners haven’t done much preparation or investigation into the language that they wish to learn before taking any lesson. - Most students have no structure or routine in their learning. They just study whatever they feel like whenever they feel like and go with the flow that leads to nowhere in the long run. - Many students jump from books to books teachers to teachers, courses to courses in an endless search of the most effective methods or ways to learn, always striving but never arriving. - Many students are passive learners and expect learning to be done onto them. 3.Study Alone - This can be the hardest, most time-consuming way to learn unless you're proactive in your learning and already have an experience learning a language successfully. - You would have to spend a lot of time figuring it all out yourself and this can take a lot more time and effort. - You would have to actively seek native speakers to either do a language exchange/ get help from them on a regular basis in order to check your progress consistently. 4. Psychological Blocks/Hindrances - Fear, Lack of Self-esteem or Both: We learn a foreign language because we want to express ourselves creatively through learning and communicating in a foreign language. But, The thought of making mistakes in choosing the right things to say, making pronunciation errors or conjugating verbs incorrectly in front of a native speaker are not only terrifying but even demotivating. If not addressed, it also creates a mental block toward the most vital part of language learning: Practicing communicating real-time with native speakers & other students. - Procrastination or Perfectionism?: This is closely tied to the previous topic of fear and lack of self-esteem because these two mental hindrances often work together. Many people learning a foreign language put off doing live practice because they want to be "ready" for the right moment when they have learned enough and have enough confidence in their ability to really start communicating through real-time practice. So, they wait, wait and wait... But the moment often never comes. No matter how much they study their grammar book, memorize verbs, watch and learn from various movies and TV shows, they never feel ready enough to jump in and start. The irony is that this is what they need to start doing right away instead. By trying to achieve perfect results, people end up procrastinating on the most important element which is doing live practice. Many people defend this idea because they do not want to be embarrassed or even exposed as soon as they start doing live practice. But this is the ego getting in the way of learning. Progress comes when we abandon our ego, be open-minded and even vulnerable but confidently walk the path of consistent practice and self- observation. The time to start communicating in a foreign language is now. __________________________________________________________________________ What I can do for you: 1.
