Meet Anna!
I am currently working as a Florist in Canada. Living abroad and meeting diverse people through my craft has deepened my appreciation for my identity as a 'native Korean' and my love for the language. Now, I want to channel that passion into becoming your dedicated Korean learning mate.
- Certified Event Florist - Completed Professional Sexual Violence Counselor Training Course (Suwon Women's Hotline) - Completed specialized training (1 year of service at a Community Care Center at GBC)
Things I Love:
Books: I’m a true bookworm. Whenever I travel, I always look for local bookstores and love staying at 'book-stay' accommodations.
The Power of Journaling: Keeping a diary is my oldest habit. I’m so serious about stationery that I even take "stationery trips" to Japan! ✍️
Flowers & Vases: Collecting vintage vases and filling them with fresh blooms is my latest small but certain happiness. If you’re curious, I’d love to show you my collection during our class!
My dream is to create a warm space where we don't just study a language, but truly connect by sharing our tastes and daily lives.
**********************************************************
While I am new to professional Korean tutoring, I deeply understand the frustration of learning a new language, as I have spent years mastering English as a tool for communication.
Moreover, I spent 4 years at an education company as a Consulting Manager and Journal Coach. I’ve guided numerous students toward their goals and developed a keen sense of identifying exactly what a learner needs to succeed.
Lastly, I have completed Professional Counselor Training (at Suwon Women’s Hotline). This allows me to lead objective and professional discussions on sensitive or profound topics such as human rights, gender, and social power structures in Korea. (Completed specialized training and 1 year of service as a part-time peer support staff at a Community Care Center, GBC)
I can empathize with you from a learner's perspective while pinpointing exactly what you need to advance. I'm here to help you learn efficiently and comfortably!

What is the one thing you want to say most in Korean?"
Without a clear motive, language learning can be a long and lonely road. I believe your skills improve the fastest when you struggle to express 'your own story' in Korean. I’m here to help you find those words.
**This class is perfect for:
*A2 Learners: You can read Hangeul, but sentences don't come out naturally yet. (Classes available in English!)
*C1 Learners: You want to master natural, sophisticated expressions just like a native speaker.
I’ll be your friendly Korean friend and a reliable pacemaker on your journey. Shall we cross the finish line together?
See you in class! :)
