Teach English to Children While Learning Korean in Jeonju

by: Korea Gapyear

Add first reviewSince 2012

This is a volunteer project where you teach English to children in Korean care centers while growing together with them. Beyond simply teaching, you will build meaningful connections—becoming a friend, mentor, and role model in their lives. Through shared experiences, you will support the children’s futures while also discovering your own personal growth along the way. Teaching children is a meaningful process of learning how to organize your thoughts and express yourself clearly and naturally. As you communicate with children every day, you will gradually develop both your expressiveness and confidence. Through this project, you will naturally develop your own teaching style and ways of communicating. As you spend time with children in different situations, you will begin to reflect on questions like, “How can I explain this more clearly?” and “What words can I use to communicate more warmly?” Over time, your own unique approach to teaching will take shape. This experience will not only strengthen your teaching abilities but also help you develop essential skills such as communication and leadership.
