I’m Tara.
I was born and raised in Seoul, speaking standard Korean, and I have a deep love for languages. In addition to Korean, I have been teaching English for a long time.
I majored in Political Science during my undergraduate studies and later earned a Master’s degree in International Studies from a graduate school of international studies, completing the entire program in English. I have over 12 years of experience teaching English in various areas, including conversation, writing, TOEIC, OPIC, Korean college entrance exam English, and school exam preparation.
Currently, I also work as a freelance Marketing Brand Manager (BM) for a global brand, and I occasionally provide career counseling related to marketing.
I absolutely love cats and have one as a lovely pet. I also have two years of working holiday experience in Canada. In my free time, I enjoy reading mystery and thriller novels, practicing Pilates, running, and playing badminton.
I love discussing a wide range of topics, including Korean society, politics, culture, and K-pop. I’m always open to engaging conversations, learning together, and growing with others!
