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.
