My name is Iker Kim, and I am a foreign language instructor at the College of Science and Technology - Ningbo University.

I hold a Bachelors degree and Masters Degree in Engineering from Deusto University. With 14 years of private company working exprerience, over the past five years, I have had the privilege of teaching students from diverse backgrounds and proficiency levels. This experience has greatly enriched my teaching approach, as I have learned to adapt my methods to meet the unique needs of each student.

My teaching style is characterized by a focus on interactive and student-centered learning. To foster this environment, I incorporate various teaching strategies, including games, multimedia presentations, and hands-on activities. This approach not only enhances students’ understanding but also encourages them to take an active role in their learning journey.

In my classes, I emphasize the importance of cultural understanding and real-life applications of language skills. I strive to create a curriculum that connects language learning with students’ personal interests and experiences. For example, I often incorporate authentic materials such as videos, and music from different cultures to make the content relevant and relatable. This not only helps students improve their language skills but also deepens their appreciation for the diverse cultures associated with the language.

Outside of the classroom, I have a variety of interests that complement my professional life. I am passionate about exploring new languages and cultures, which inspires me to continue learning and growing as an educator. I enjoy reading, traveling, and movies, as these activities allow me to connect with others and gain new perspectives.

I am committed to creating a supportive and inclusive classroom environment where every student feels valued and motivated to succeed. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experiences with my students, guiding them on their journey to mastering the language and understanding its cultural context.
