anti-discrimination

The work I do is informed by the hard truth of inequality in the workplace.  I do this work in spite of discrimination, not because of it.  Accent discrimination is a product of the collective consciousness at large and our very nature as humans.  While this does not come up as part of my instruction, this hard reality motivates me. 

Mastering the correct pronunciation is not merely a detail; it's a gateway to effective communication and deeper cultural understanding.  Accurate pronunciation is the key to ensuring that your intended message is conveyed accurately. It  helps avoid misunderstandings, build rapport, and establish meaningful connections.

equality

All accents are created equal, and everyone has the power to choose how we express ourselves in a way that feels right for us. The “General American Accent”

anti-judgment

As a child of a Korean immigrant, I know how hard it is to learn a new language, and how discrimination is real. I have a lifelong commitment to equality, and strict rule against discrimination and racism. I welcome all learners and adapt my coaching to all starting points, needs, and goals.

empowerment

Learning a language is a deeply personal personal pursuit, and empowering people to speak with clarity in communication so they are respected and can move their life forward without barriers is an important mission in my life. Learning the sounds of English is possible, while still keeping the sounds of your sacred native tongue. All of our students are encouraged to retain their most authentic self, and to be able to practice and learn on their own, even when I am not in the room.

success

I believe time is the most important assess you have. I believe success is when a student tells me, “I don’t need you anymore because people can understand me now”.  It is my highest priority to get you to this point as soon as possible. We uphold the value of time by crafting tailored plans that optimize every moment, ensuring no time is squandered.
