Jeong-Eun Kong

Hello (?????!) - My name is ??? Jeong-eun. I am a passionate, friendly and highly experienced Korean teacher.

I believe learning a new language is one of the best things you can do. It gives you access to a whole new culture! I'm completely obsessed with my country of Korea and I'd love to share my language and culture with you! I've got tons of experience teaching Korean to non-native speakers. I've done everything from working with the US military in Korea to collaborating with museums, charities and TV production companies here in the UK. Currently I'm working with the Korean Embassy in London to provide a Korean language and culture program for school (secondary/primary schools) kids in the UK.
