Hi, everyone! My name is Ms. Gabriela and I’m from Pennsylvania in the United States! I’ve been living in Korea for many years. I graduated from West Chester University of Pennsylvania with highest honors as a double-major. I’m so excited for this year and getting to know the students here at LOTIS! I want all of my students to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and to always know that they are perfect the way they are. I want us to have a great time learning new things because I truly believe that learning should be exciting! In my classroom, I want students to feel safe, cared for, and free to express their questions, thoughts, and ideas. The most important thing is that they try their best, treat others with kindness, and believe in themselves!

Hello, my name is Amanda and I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. I graduated from Humber College with a bachelor’s degree in Digital Communications. I’ve been teaching in Korea since 2023. I believe everyone has unique strengths and goals, and my aim is to help you discover, nurture, and refine those talents in a way that suits your individual needs. My focus is on providing a supportive environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and exploring new ideas. I want to foster creativity, critical thinking, and a curiosity that inspires lifelong learning. I can’t wait to meet you all, and I’m looking forward to seeing all the things that we will accomplish on our journey together.
