GlocalishTHE EDUCATOR BEHIND GLOCALISH
An English and Korean language educator who teaches from both sides.
Korean is my first language. I learned English as an additional language, studied language teaching professionally and built my career teaching English and Korean. I created Glocalish to help adults understand not only what to say, but who they are speaking to, how they want to sound and how to keep the conversation going.

TEACHING FROM BOTH SIDES
As an English learner, I know where a second language can feel unclear or difficult to use. As a TESOL-trained educator, I can explain the structure, choices and practice that help English become usable.
As a Korean speaker and qualified Korean language educator, I explain how relationship, politeness and context shape Korean in real life. Across both languages, the goal is the same: clear explanations, direct feedback and communication that fits the person and situation.
WHO I WORK WITH
From conversation to IELTS, CELPIP, academic writing or professional communication, lessons are shaped around your English goal. We identify your current level and recurring difficulties, then focus on the language and strategies you need in practice.
From foundational conversation to more natural and accurate expression, Korean lessons reflect your level and everyday context. You move beyond grammar explanations and build speaking skills you can use in real conversations.
PREMIUM 1:1 COACHING
Premium Coaching starts with your goal and current level. English and Korean Conversation use a prepared speaking curriculum, leaving more class time to practise.
The Premium Assessment identifies your goal, current level and a suitable learning direction.
Lessons are shaped around your language and goal, including English Conversation, IELTS, CELPIP, academic writing and Korean Conversation. We identify the patterns that limit clarity, range or accuracy, then practise language you can use in real situations.
Speaking is corrected and practised in the lesson, with vocabulary support before or after class. For writing, you can submit a photo of your work and receive clear written feedback to guide the next draft.
CONNECTING BOTH LANGUAGES TO REAL COMMUNICATION
English and Korean lessons both begin with your current level and how you need to use the language. From everyday conversation to academic, professional and test preparation, you learn to communicate naturally and accurately in the situations that matter to you.
We work on pronunciation, vocabulary, sentence structure and cultural context so you can express your own ideas in the language you are learning rather than rely on memorised lines.
