Hello, everyone! My name is Sharon and I was born and raised in Southern California. I have over 8 years of English teaching experience in South Korea and have taught students of various ages throughout my career. I believe you can never be too young or too old to start learning a new language. It is all about how much effort, energy, and enthusiasm you put into learning the language that determines what you gain from it.

Half of my experience comes from working at a nation-wide Kindergarten franchise where I taught phonemic awareness, phonics, listening comprehension, and reading comprehension skills. The other half of my experience comes from working at a private language institute where I taught Elementary, Middle, and High school students to read and write in English with the ultimate goal of being able to express oneself and ideas in essay form.

While working at these highly regarded centers of English education, however, I came to realize that the most progress I saw in terms of actually SPEAKING English came from my one-on-one sessions. In these sessions, the students were able to express themselves freely and get feedback quickly thereby facilitating their growth in their English language skills in a way that no amount of studying at a private academy could provide.

I believe that NIL ENGLISH is a fantastic place to practice and use your English language skills as you build them up towards fluency. I would be honored if I could be a part of that journey by providing the guidance that you seek. Hope to see you in a class very soon!
