Join us for a paint-and-talk interview with Annie Jeong from Boston, who moved to Korea three years ago straight out of college. Through a TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) program, Annie started teaching English to students ranging from elementary to middle school, but she recently decided to move back to the States for law school. In this interview, Annie reflects back on her experiences living in the heart of Itaewon, witnessing the intensity of Korean education and confronting common misconceptions here of English teachers from abroad. #lifeinkorea #englishteacher #koreanamerican
