Olivia

Hi, my name is Olivia, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to meet each of you here at Francis Parker. 

My professional journey began with a focus on social work after graduation, specifically within the realm of child welfare. 

However, my path took a transformative turn when I moved to Australia, where I immersed myself in learning English and experienced firsthand the profound expansion of my perspective. Through this experience, 

I came to realize the immense impact language acquisition can have on broadening our horizons. 

Motivated by a desire to share this experience with children, I returned to Korea and dedicated several years to teaching English. 

Seeking to deepen my knowledge in the field of education, I pursued further studies in Early childhood education upon returning to Australia. Following that, I assumed a leadership role in a local kindergarten, dedicating seven years to teaching and nurturing young minds in Australia. 

Upon the completion of my time at the kindergarten and the transition of my students to primary school,

 I felt compelled to return to Korea to pursue my professional goal of equipping young learners with the linguistic skills necessary to navigate the world around them. My passion lies in creating nurturing and inclusive learning environments where children can genuinely enjoy the process of learning.

I am thrilled to be part of this great team at Francis Parker, and I eagerly anticipate our collaborative efforts in fostering a conducive learning environment for our children. Looking forward to our journey ahead together! 

Cathy

I am Cathy teacher! 

After majoring in English literature in undergraduate school, I studied in the U.S. for a long time. After returning to Korea, I have been working at an early childhood English education institution continuously, and I majored in TESOL and English education in graduate school because I wanted to provide better education to the young students. 

I'm so happy to be able to start March 2024 with my Francis Parker friends and give them even greater attention and love and I'll do my best to guide and look after the kids.

Based on my field experience as a kindergarten English teacher, I will first approach the children and take care of them carefully.
