Hello, my name is Beka! I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado USA. In addition to my TEFL certification, I graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in Biology and an English minor. I have taught English in Korea and Poland for several years. When I am not teaching, I enjoy creative crafts, traveling to see exotic animals, and reading.
I love learning, and it is my goal to foster that love for learning in my students by creating an exciting, safe, and curiosity-driven classroom. Seeing students show eagerness to try new things and think about new ideas keeps me inspired as a teacher, and I truly enjoy teaching kindergarten students. I am looking forward to helping every student try their best and develop over the year!

Hello, I’m Ms. Lex and I am from Colorado in the United States. At university, I studied human communication, and I have also received a TEFL certification. I’ve been living and teaching in Korea for several years and look forward to working with new students this year. I believe in creating a safe classroom environment where every student feels confident and supported so that they can grow comfortably. Learning a second language opens up so many doors, and early education helps build a strong foundation in your child’s life. While living here, I have taught ages 4 through 13, but I truly have a love of working with young learners. There is nothing more rewarding than watching young students grow into themselves throughout the year. I am incredibly excited to be a part of the LOTIS team this year and help your child grow as much as possible.

After it was over, I knew I had to return to Korea, so I did!
Since I came to Korea, I have been teaching English to elementary students. I appreciate younger students’ energy and willingness to try new things, so I’m so excited to begin teaching kindergarten here at LOTIS. I’m looking forward to seeing students’ growth from the beginning to the end of the year, and I can’t wait to start!

Hello, I’m Ms. Madi! I am from the United States and have been living and teaching in Korea for several years. I graduated from the University of Montana with a bachelor’s degree in Education. I have been nicknamed “Razzle Dazzle” for my spunky energy and theatrical way of teaching. I believe that if I am having fun teaching, my students are more likely to have fun learning.

I believe that each student is unique in their passions, strengths, and personalities. I am looking forward to establishing meaningful relationships with each and every student.

I try my hardest to make my classroom a joyful place of learning where the children know that it’s okay to make mistakes as we learn and grow together. I’ve taught children of all ages, from kindergarten to high school, in my time here. I use that experience coupled with my own unique style to keep my students focused yet entertained.

Hello, my name is Mr. Conner and I am from Spring, Texas. I graduated from The University of Texas. I hold a degree in East Asian Studies. I also attended Hanyang University while studying abroad. I have taught English for almost eight years in Korea. I like to make my students enjoy learning about English and the world. I believe that a firm understanding in our world greatly benefits a student.
While in Korea, I taught students aged 7 through 15. I truly enjoy teaching younger children. I find that their energy and willingness to learn give me the energy and motivation to be the best teacher I can be. I am truly excited to teach at LOTIS and prepare your child for the future.

Hello, my name is Ms. Keny and I am from Bridgeton, New Jersey U.S.A. I have lived in South Korea for several years. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Elizabethtown College, and I also have a TEFL certification. In my senior year at university, my employer recommended working in South Korea, and it inspired me to give it a try. Now I can’t imagine living and teaching anywhere else. I would describe my teaching style as fun, but structured. In my experience, children learn best when they are excited and comfortable, but I also know the benefits of a good routine. I think a good measure of judging language retention is a developing sense of humor, so through funny stories and jokes, students will discover even more joy in learning English. I have a feeling we are going to have a great year together!
