Matt are you a white guy living in Korea?

I was born in Seoul. lol.

Hah!

Yea, I've been in Korea 7 years now. Started out my first year working at some schools and then got so sick of the backwards education system here that I decided to start my own small international school. We had about 200 students go through our school but after three years of fighting the Korean system, we learned that our entire curricular concepts (although standard in America) are still 10 years too early in Korea.

Ironically, since closing, I've already seen copycat schools opening up and universities are starting to do what we were doing too.

It has been a wild ride though. Here's some random colorful photos of me and some of my students when I owned the school (유치부부터 대학부있었지만, 초등학생들 재일많았어요.). There are thousands so I just picked the ones that seemed the most interesting. (last pic is from one of the airlines I partnered with for English testing)
