사만다 FaroEdu

I am Samantha, a public elementary school teacher in the Eastern United States. I received my education in the U.S. from elementary school through my master's degree program, and I currently meet with children every day as a homeroom teacher at a local public school. In addition to being a homeroom teacher, I serve as the 3rd-grade science curriculum coordinator for over 22 elementary schools and approximately 40 classes within the county, personally designing and operating the curriculum. I believe that when discussing American education, it is crucial to deeply understand how students actually learn and live in American elementary schools. Every day, I personally experience in the field how students learn and the process teachers go through to design lessons. Therefore, rather than merely mimicking the outward appearance or atmosphere of American-style classes, I aim to naturally convey to Korean students the question-, discussion-, and inquiry-centered learning that takes place in actual American classrooms. Just as important as this educational expertise is my sincerity toward the children. Rather than showing off impressive knowledge, I love creating a classroom where I listen attentively to each and every child's questions, where they are not afraid to make mistakes, and where they can freely express their thoughts. Furthermore, having worked as an English teacher in Korea, I understand better than anyone the linguistic burden and cultural differences our students experience when taking subject classes in English, allowing me to guide them with meticulous care. Currently, as the Director of the CCSS Curriculum at Faro Edu, I am developing classes alongside a global team of instructors. I also take full responsibility for instructor training to ensure that the educational methods and philosophy of actual American classrooms are fully incorporated into our lessons. Based on the experience I have accumulated over many years learning as a student and teaching as a teacher in the United States, I will deliver the most authentic and genuine American classroom. Thank you.

[미국식 과학 수업] 초등 과학 교사와 떠나는 신비로운 태양계 탐험!
Since it was our first meeting, we were a little awkward at first, but thanks to the teacher listening attentively to the children and leading the class in an enjoyable way, we quickly became focused and participated happily. Learning non-fiction in English could have felt somewhat difficult, but the teacher explained things in an easy and fun way tailored to the children's level and thoroughly covered the important points. It was a very beneficial time where we were able to improve not only our background knowledge but also our English skills. I was even more satisfied to see the children happily reviewing the material by working through the workbook on their own after class. :)

The teacher explains things so well, and even though my child is a complete beginner, the teacher points out the key words very accurately, so my child was able to understand a little bit. If my child gets just a little better... I would like to take the class regularly. Also, since it is still a bit difficult for a first grader, I am thinking about having the child take the same class again.

The class content was really informative and fun. The teacher led the session so well that my child was completely immersed and participated without even realizing how much time had passed. You seem to have a truly excellent ability to keep children focused. Thank you for the great class.💕💕😊
