As a Korean teacher, I have had the opportunity to teach both teenagers and university students, each with their unique learning styles and needs. During my university years, I taught Korean to teenagers, where I developed my passion for teaching and discovered my love for helping others learn a new language. I found that the best way to teach Korean to teenagers was through interactive activities and conversational discussions. I also enjoyed providing them with relevant stories that helped them understand and appreciate the Korean language and culture.

Later on, I had the opportunity to teach Korean studies to university students in Belgium. This experience allowed me to broaden my teaching style and methods. I found that university students required a more dialectic way of teaching, where they were encouraged to ask questions and challenge their understanding of the language and culture. I enjoyed incorporating various teaching methods such as group discussions, debates, and role-playing activities that allowed the students to develop their language skills and deepen their understanding of the Korean culture.

Throughout my teaching experience, I have learned that teaching is not just about imparting knowledge but also about building a strong relationship with the students. I strive to create a supportive and engaging learning environment that encourages students to take risks and learn from their mistakes. I believe that every student has the potential to learn and achieve their language goals, and my role as a teacher is to guide them along the way.
