taught English in Korea for 1 year and have done well at my job.

Finding ways to convey information so students can absorb and understand the information being

If I feel homesick in Korea, I would set up a meeting time with my family and friends when I am not

I plan to explore Korean culture. I plan to climb mountains, and I plan to eat a lot of Sangapsal.
