Grace
Grace
Hello, my name is Grace, and I’m excited to join Francis Parker’s Seocho Campus as the bilingual homeroom teacher this March.
I grew up in the United States, where I developed strong communication skills and an appreciation for diverse cultures. After gaining corporate experience, I found my true passion in education and have spent the past five years teaching at an English kindergarten. I’ve taken on roles as homeroom and lead teacher, gaining experience in curriculum planning, parent communication, and event coordination.
At age seven, children make significant language progress, and my goal is to foster critical thinking and self-expression while supporting their language development. I’ll work closely with native English teachers to create an immersive environment where students can apply their skills meaningfully.
I believe in creating an engaging and supportive learning space that promotes both academic growth and emotional well-being. I look forward to partnering with parents to ensure each child’s success. Thank you.
Nina
Hello Parents!
My name is Nina, and I am delighted to be here at Francis Parker.
I spent my school years in New Zealand and later attended university there. With a deep passion for early childhood education, I obtained my teaching certification and worked as a kindergarten teacher in New Zealand. While teaching at a local kindergarten, I realized the importance of creating a secure environment where children can develop their creativity and learn independently.
This experience sparked my interest in diverse educational environments, leading me to return to Korea to continue my work in early childhood education. Since then, I have been supporting young learners in their growth and development, focusing on helping them naturally acquire English and express themselves confidently in bilingual settings.
Kindergarten is a crucial stage where children take their first steps into the world. I believe a teacher’s role is to encourage and support them so they can trust themselves and embrace new challenges. At Francis Parker, I will do my best to create a joyful and engaging learning environment where children can explore their potential and grow.
I look forward to getting to know each of your wonderful children and making this a memorable and enriching year for them.
