Hello everyone! My name is Emily Marsh and I am from Middletown, Indiana. I graduated from Purdue University with a major in communications and soon after moved to Korea to fulfill my passion for teaching.  I have always had a passion for learning and love to share that passion with my students. My goal as a teacher is for each student to enjoy English and have fun while learning. Early education is so important for young minds so I cannot wait to watch them learn and grow during the year. I hope my classroom can be an environment where students can create a positive outlook on learning and English through their creativity, critical thinking and more. I am looking forward to the year ahead and all we will accomplish together.

Hi! My name is Emily and I¡¯m from Chester, Virginia, USA. I graduated from James Madison University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Affairs with a Minor in Asian Studies and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Media Arts and Design. I also received my TEFL certification. I first came to Korea in 2017 as an exchange student at Kyung Hee University, fell in love with the country, and came back in 2021 to teach English.
In my classroom, I believe confidence and creativity are two of the most important aspects of learning. Therefore, I try my best to create a kind and welcoming atmosphere through encouragement and my calm nature. Even though I consider myself to be calm, I do know how to have fun! I¡¯ve taught pop dance classes informally at university and still try to incorporate some movement in my classes as something exciting for the kids to get out of their energy. I want my students to try their absolute best and love coming to class so that we can learn all kinds of things together. I¡¯m looking forward to this year and meeting all of the students!

Hello! My name is Harrison. I grew up near Chicago, Illinois in the United States. During university I pursued and completed a BA in History with a minor in English. While I was studying, I began volunteering at an ESL program and became interested in language instruction. After graduation, I decided to come to Korea to teach English and have been teaching English to children in Seoul ever since. Living and teaching in Korea has been a wonderful experience full of challenges, adventures, and a lot of learning. The reason I enjoy teaching English so much is that it gives me a chance to be active and creative, as well as help children learn something they will use for the rest of their lives. My goal in each class is to ensure that every student takes away something fun and something useful. I believe the best way to accomplish this is to really get to know all of the students and to make lessons and activities that educate and inspire them. Classes are the most effective when the teachers and students are all engaged, and it is my job to make sure that happens. I am really looking forward to the coming school year and all of the exciting things we are going to do together here at LOTIS.

My name is Jamey. I am from Hartselle, Alabama. I majored in Psychology and Counseling from Liberty University. I spent four years in China teaching at an English academy, working with children ages three through fifteen. During that time I fell in love with teaching, and seeing students improve their English skills.
I am excited to begin my teaching journey in Korea. I hope to create a warm and enthusiastic environment where students want to work hard and enjoy learning. My goal is to make my classroom a safe space that encourages the students to feel confident and creative in their learning process. I¡¯m excited to be starting at LOTIS this year and I am looking forward to watching the students grow and learn.

Hello! I am Ms. Jennifer. I am from a city in Canada called Windsor. I have been living in Korea for six years and have a variety of experience teaching both kindergarten and after-school programs. This year I am very honored to be your child¡¯s first teacher that they meet at LOTIS. I have an honors degree in Criminology with a minor in French. I know what it is like to begin studying a brand-new language at a young age so I empathize and sympathize with many of the young students who come in and are very nervous about a new environment with a new language. I love to encourage expression, critical thinking skills, and independence in my classroom. My goals are always the same: helping to grow a child¡¯s confidence in themselves in order to help them achieve their goals. I look forward to inspiring each of your children!
