How We Got Here
The story so far...
How It All Started...
After graduating college with a business degree, I moved to Seoul and began teaching English in 2016. I started at a TOEFL prep academy and then got a job at FastONE, a 1:1 business English school for adults. At this school, there was no set curriculum. The teachers had to design specific lesson plans according to each student’s goals.
At FastONE, I really started to develop my own unique teaching style. Unlike a lot of 1:1 classes which consist of unorganized free talking (‘how was your day?’ ‘what are you doing this weekend?’), I created an organized curriculum where students could actually practice and improve their work-specific communication. My system organized, work-specific classes were a huge hit, and I quickly became one of the most popular and highly-rated instructors at the entire school.
After working there for a year, I decided I wanted to truly go out on my own and start my own online English business. I took the most effective English teaching methods I developed at FastONE and designed specialized 1:1 English programs to help my clients reach their English and career goals as quickly as possible.

How It Went...
I ran my business English program full time for over two years, and helped Koreans in a variety of industries improve their English so they could move up in their companies, pass important interviews, give better business presentations, and even successfully move to English-speaking countries.
Along the way, I invested tons of time & money learning everything I can about business marketing, sales, presentations, interview/resume skills, and more in order to provide the highest-quality education possible to people like you. Also, making the shift from being a regular hagwon English teacher to an actual business owner who has to market, sell my services, and give sales presentations significantly improved my ability to teach. I was the top instructor at FastONE, but I can say with confidence that I'm a much, much better teacher now than I was then.
I’m now in the top 1% of all professionals in the e-learning industry on Linkedin. I also published a book with 길벗 (a major Korean publishing company), and most important of all have helped many professionals create new opportunities in their careers by improving their business communication.
