World in News for Young Minds
1. Double-teaching system
English native speaking teacher and Korean bilingual teacher are co-teaching, so it gives diverse perspectives for current events.
2. Current News and event borrowing from news segment or TV shows
A variety of materials based on current news and age-appropriate TV programs will be used in each class. Students will learn about what is happening in their community and around the world, analyze the meaning behind these events, and develop the skills to express their opinions on diverse issues.
3. Beyond Leaning
Students will broaden their interests beyond their local community and learn how to apply their understanding to act as responsible global citizens in today’s fast-paced world.
4. Enhancing Teamwork Skills
Through group discussions, students will learn how to communicate effectively, especially when encountering different opinions. These collaborative experiences provide opportunities to learn from one another and build a strong sense of teamwork.

Hello, I am Jung Myung-ju. (I am usually called MJ.) I operated entrance exam academies and language schools in Korea, teaching both mathematics and English. I have over 20 years of experience teaching English in both Korea and Canada. I lived in Toronto for over 15 years before moving to Korea in October 2025. My Canadian husband, Zane, helps students approach English in the most fun and comfortable way possible through various methods. In Canada, I primarily taught classes preparing students for the CILISAT interpreter exam, but I have since been developing content and conducting classes for various other exams. I have diverse experience, having worked as a Campus Manager at the largest language school in Canada, as well as serving as a Career College Director and a high school teacher at BICC. Zane is a TESL certified instructor and currently teaches University Writing at Fanshawe College in Canada. I have been teaching various exam preparations and university writing for approximately 20 years in both Korea and Canada. Based on my extensive experience living abroad with native speakers, I aim to share the language used locally, including the nuances conveyed through speech, in an engaging way through various media such as news, reading, and songs. We also possess unique know-how for grammar lessons designed to aid in speaking. I intend to teach mathematics in an enjoyable way, along with providing diverse information for students attending international schools, considering studying abroad, or simply wishing to speak and express themselves in English. I look forward to studying happily together in various classes in the future.
