I just had my first lesson with BYU. The screenshots after the lesson are nice, since it let's you concentrate on the lesson. I know a little korean already, and am working on reading/ pronunciation and she was very helpful.

About me - English
I am currently a TESOL certified teacher. I have been teaching English Japanese, Korean, and Thai for many years.
I am looking for beginners learning English, Japanese, Korean, or Thai. Moreover, I am interested in students who will take lessons 1 to 2 times per week.
**NOTE**
I don't use webcam but I still can share my screen with a good quality of teaching and learning materials.
Qualifications & Experience
My background includes a certificate in TESOL with over 10 years experience teaching ESL to adult students who want to improve their overall English skills as well as improve their literacy and communicative skills. My major research interest focuses on English language needs of Asian students. I am teaching English online and offline to Japanese, Korean, Thai, and Chinese students.
I am fluent in Japanese and experienced at working in a Japanese company for more than 4 years. I am experienced at teaching Basic Japanese , Japanese for Business, and N5 - N3 Test Prep.
I can also help you to learn Korean from a very basic level including alphabet, grammar, and daily conversations. I create fun lessons that help you acquire Korean language faster.
I am a native Thai speaker with an extensive knowledge of this language. I enjoy helping Thai language learners. I can help you with expressions, informal conversation as well as business Thai.
Teaching Approach
My teaching methods are specific to each student and I provide you with authentic examples so you can practice speaking as much as possible. I am a calm and patient person and I cultivate a warm and friendly atmosphere in my lessons. I set homework from textbooks for you to practice in your own time, therefore, during lessons with me we can discuss and learn through a variety of fun activities.
I tailor my sessions to your preferences depending on what way of studying is better for you. No matter what your level is, I will help to improve your speaking and listening, expand your vocabulary, and develop your grammar and writing skills.
Would you like to become one of my students? You can book your lesson ahead of time and I hope to hear from you soon! :)
저는 대학원을 졸업하였으며, TESOL자격증을 취득하였습니다. 또한, 10년 이상 성인을 대상으로 외국어로써 영어를 자신의 회화 및 실력 향상을 목표로 하시는 분들에게 지도하여왔습니다. 제 박사학위 주제는 아시아 지역 학생들의 니즈를 중심으로 논문을 써왔습니다. 저는 온라인으로 일본인, 한국인, 그리고 중국인 학생들에게 영어를 지도하였습니다.
Qualifications & Experience
저는 태국 원어민이며, 태국어에 관한 지식도 풍부합니다. 저는 태국어를 배우고자 하는 분들에게 도움을 드리는 것에 큰 열정을 가지고 있습니다. 저는 여러분의 표현, 사생활에서 사용되는 회화 그리고 비지니스 태국어까지 지도 가능합니다.
Teaching Approach
❀지도 방식✿
제 지도 방식은 학생 개개인의 학생들에게 맞추며, 가능한한 실제 회화에서 사용되는 예를 제공합니다. 저는 침착하며, 인내력이 강합니다. 또한 포근하며 친근한 분위기의 레슨을 만듭니다. 그리고 학생분의 여가시간에 풀 수 있는 숙제를 제공하기도 합니다, 하지만, 레슨에서는 다양한 주제와 즐거운 활동으로 토론합니다.
저는 학생분이 어떤 스타일의 공부 방식이 맞는지 알아내고, 그에 따라 레슨을 만들어 나갑니다. 학생분의 레벨이 무엇이든, 저는 여러분의 스피킹, 리스닝 실력을 늘리는데 도움을 드릴 수 있으며, 어휘력 확장 및 문법 및 작문 실력 향상에도 도움을 드립니다.
제 학생이 되고 싶으신가요? 그러시다면 레슨을 예약해 저에게 레슨에서 말을 많이 나누어요!
