O mnie
For the past 14 years, I have been continuously studying Korean, completed my BA and MA in Korean Studies, and am currently a PhD candidate at the department of Korean Linguistics at the Academy of Korean Studies. For the past 7 years, I have been continuously teaching Korean, translating to and from Korean, as well as proofreading, editing, and co-authoring language textbooks and dictionaries.
Learning and teaching are my two passions. I am always eager and ready to learn a new skill while teaching and supporting someone else's growth brings me tremendous joy and a sense of fulfillment.
