선생님(Student Tutors)

 Hi, I'm Brian Kim, a 9th grader at Orange County School of the Arts, and co-founder of Play in English together my good friend Benjamin. My passion for teaching began with helping friends with their studies, but it truly blossomed during a mission trip to Peru. There, I had the privilege of working with local children, sharing meaningful experiences that were both refreshing and inspiring. It was amazing to see the genuine effort everyone put into connecting with each other, and it motivated me to bring that same energy into teaching. I'm here to make learning not only effective but also engaging and accessible every step of the way. Let's embark on this rewarding journey together! 

Hi! I'm Lucy, a senior at Northwood High School. I'm pursuing a major in Linguistics and Comparative Literature, with a specialization in how language shapes communication, culture, and expression. As a fluent speaker of both Korean and English, I bring a bilingual perspective to tutoring, helping students cross the language boundary with the nuanced perspective of a native speaker. Whether you're preparing for standardized tests, refining your writing skills, or looking to improve your overall English fluency, I'm here to guide you with personalized strategies that work. Let's make learning English engaging, effective, and tailored to your needs!

Hello! I'm Jerry Kim, a sophomore at Portola High School. My passion for teaching sparked when I began volunteering to teach music to children from low-income families. Seeing their joy and enthusiasm as they learned made me realize how much a supportive environment influences a student's growth. No matter the circumstances, with the right opportunities, anyone can thrive and truly enjoy the learning process. At Play in English, I want to create a space where kids can learn language in a fun, engaging, and pressure-free way. Whether through interactive activities or creative lessons, I'm here to help make learning an exciting and rewarding experience!
