I teach various classes with a wide range of learners. I have M.S in Special Education Early Childhood from Johns Hopkins University. I completed Doctorate level courses from George Washington University in Curriculum & Instructions. I have 12 years of teaching students from toddlers to adults in diverse settings (large group, small group, 1:1) in the United States and Korea. I'm working as a Special Education Resources Teacher for 1st & 2nd grade in DC Public Schools. I worked as a Preschool/Pre-K Lead Teacher/Special Education Teacher at DC Public Schools before. One fun thing about me is that I love traveling and have traveled to countries on 5 continents other than Antarctica and Africa! I wish to visit all the continents at some point in my life.

Apart from my experiences, I am a firm believer in life-long learning. I found joy in learning at a young age which allowed me to become a person of passion for learning. My mom was the person who exposed me to the fun side of learning and I want to share my joy for learning with you and/or your child!

I also believe in the importance of building a relationship in learning. I wish to build a relationship and rapport with my students which will allow me to better understand students and their needs. With my passion for educating students with special needs, I am used to meeting students with a wide range of needs (from a student with multiple disabilities, such as emotional disturbance and autism, to a student with high functioning autism). Also, my teaching background is in an inclusive classroom setting where students with and without special needs are included as a part of the community. In all the classes I teach, I design with such a mindset to make sure I deliver the best support and service to all my students.
