Soojeong Yoon

Hello, 

My name is SooJeong Yoon. I have been living in America for more than 30 years. I am a teacher and currently am teaching preschoolers. I have been teaching youngsters for  more than 14 years.

The most important point of my philosophy of teaching is that all children should be happy under any circumstances. Every individual child is very special and should be treated with love and respect. As a teacher, I like to understand and analyze their needs in order to help them and guide them in reaching their full potentials. It is always great to see that the children and I build good relationships as the children trust me. Having a good teamwork will result in the best outcome. 

best regards,
