About the founder

Monica Chai

My dream has always been to let everyone in the world learn about and enjoy the many aspects of Korean culture.

In Seoul, I was a high school teacher where I taught Korean language and literature for 17 years.

Since moving to Australia I have continued to teach Korean in Sydney and to people all over the world, both online and face to face.

For more than 20 years I have enjoyed teaching Korean language and literature and I hope to continue to share my language and culture for many years to come.
