Meet Your Recruiter
Hello! I’m Brooke. I’ve lived and worked in South Korea since 2018, starting my journey in the public school system through EPIK before moving into the private hagwon sector in 2021. As an American educator with over six years of experience in Korean education, I’ve gained a deep understanding of both classroom dynamics and cross-cultural communication. I hold a TEFL certification as well as TOPIK Level 5 proficiency, which helps me smoothly navigate both professional duties and daily life in Korea. I look forward to leveraging my background, adaptability, and personal insight to help match you with your ideal teaching position!
