Hi, I’m Eliza — founder of Joa Academy and your go-to mentor for mastering Korean, English, Chinese and beyond. I help language learners not just pass tests, but change their lives through language.
I speak four languages and have lived, worked, and built a life in places like Seoul, Maryland, Qingdao, Sydney, Taipei, Macau, and Paris — all thanks to the power of language. Being able to communicate across cultures opened doors I never imagined: from landing dream jobs, switching careers with ease, and building friendships around the world.
That’s why I created Joa Academy — to help people like you do the same. Whether your goal is to study abroad, land a global role, pass TOPIK, or finally speak Korean with confidence, I’m here to guide you using my signature FLOW Method — a unique approach that helps you stop grinding and start growing.
My Mission:
Freedom Through Fluency
I’ve had to pass language exams myself — and I know what it takes. But I also know that test prep alone isn’t enough. That’s why I teach in a way that supports both your test results and your real-life confidence.
Test scores that open doors
Speaking skills that transform your life
Personal growth that keeps you going
Why Joa Academy Works?
Most learners struggle because they only get part of the equation. My programs are designed to help you:
-
Study with structure and clarity
-
Build real fluency, not just memorize vocab
-
Enjoy the process (yes, really!)
-
Reach your goals — and go beyond them
Whether you’re aiming for TOPIK Level 5, prepping for a global career, or learning for fun — Joa Academy meets you where you are, and helps you rise.
Imagine This...
You wake up in Seoul, ready for your first class at Seoul university.
Or you get that job offer — because your English email stood out.
You finally feel free to explore life on your terms, in the language you’ve mastered.
That’s the kind of excitement I want to share with you — and I’ll walk beside you every step of the way.
