Hello, 안녕하세요, こんにちは my name is Steven. I am from Sydney Australia and I am a language teacher ready to start the language journey with you. I was born in Seoul, South Korea and lived there until I reached 6th grade in primary school. I then moved to Australia with my family where I lived ever since. I graduated from UNSW with bachelors degree on Japanese, Korean, ESL and Secondary Education. I became a high school teacher in Australia and taught for 3 years and moved to Japan to teach English there for 2 years. I have recently returned home from my journey and want to expand my career as a language teacher.
As a language teacher, I have a lot of different interests and hobbies that helped me learning about the cultural and linguistic aspects of the target languages. This includes music, anime, games and reading. I try to connect and share my passion with my students and incorporate them into my lessons. I would love to find out about your hobbies and discuss them for our lessons. I believe that the most important activity to learn a language is to interact with the native speakers. Studying through text books and vocabulary memorisation helps for sure but it is never as fast and effective as having comfortable conversation.
I prefer my lessons to be quite casual and relaxed but knowing and working towards a clear goal. In my first few lessons, I'd love to talk about the students' needs, interests and goals to get to know each other. This will help me with understanding the...
I really enjoyed this introductory class with Steven. I think the set-up for the course is incredibly smart as he uses the first class to figure out your needs and tailer-makes a lesson/direction for you. He's incredibly understanding of my goals and needs for learning Korean, and I really appreciate that. Time flew by during this lesson. I look forward to taking more classes with him.

I only took a few lessons with Steven and he was one of the best I've had! Definitely learned a lot of new things and he was generous enough to spare extra time after our session. Sad to see you go but I wish you all the best! 감사합니다 스티벤 선생님 :)
