HOW DID YOU GET INTO KOREAN LANGUAGE TEACHING?

I Studied and worked in South Korea under Ministry of Education fellowship by South Korea. During my studies i have undergone an intensive Korean program and qualified TOPIK exam. Further my stay at South Korea for 10 years really helped me to acquire lot of information about cultural and traditional aspects of Korean life which is very difficult to learn and experience in a class room setting. In India many students and working professional want to learn Korean because of various reasons. However there are very few institutions that serve to the needs of these language enthusiasts. Hence I decided to take up Korean teaching as a gig job initially which then turned into a full time responsibility

WHAT MAKES YOUR CLASS UNIQUE?

In my classes, I use what students are interested in or familiar with. When I watch a K-drama or a K-show, I still try to find video clips that I can use in class. I sometimes use Hindi, Tamil, Telegu, Kannada languages that I learned to make it easier for students to understand Korean concepts in vernacular languages. I enjoy seeing my students able to read and relate more difficult concept in Korean that intern stimulates interest among the students and also for the tutor to teach.

WHAT IS YOUR INTEREST OTHER THAN TEACHING KOREAN?

I do research on functional foods and write Science articles to biology specific Journals. I am also trying to learn more advanced levels of Korean language. I also enjoy drawing and digital paintings.
