Michelle, the Boss

This is Michelle on the left talking with a parent. She's the Boss, Principal, and owner of the school, or hagwon. If you had any questions before, the school is a privately owned language institute, owned by Michelle. It is a franchise of the parent company CDI. I taught on day one of our school's opening, a month and a half ago now.

Michelle is from Seoul originally, and went to college at the University of Utah. She spent 3 1/2 years there and got not one but TWO bachelors degrees! One in Biology and one in Linguistics. She has lived on Jeju-do for 4 years teaching English before deciding to start her own business. Her English itself is impeccable. She is a fantastic woman, always willing to help anyone out, loves kids, and works very hard. I feel very fortunate to be in Korea with such a great boss.
