Karina Lopez

Hello! My name is Karina Lopez, and I'm from El Paso, Texas, in the United States.
I graduated from the University of Texas in El Paso in 2013 with a bachelor's degree in Communication Mass Media Advertising, and a minor in Theater. In 2014, I received my TEFL and TESOL certificate from the International TEFL Academy in Chicago, IL. I started teaching English as a tutor while I was studying abroad in Spain in 2011.

I have been working in Korea since 2015, educating young children to middle school students.
I'm delighted to be working at Daechi English Park and get to know your children. I'm sure we will learn new exciting things from one another. I aspire to create a fun and dynamic learning environment for the students while learning English and life-living skills that enrich their lives.
Erin O'toole

Let me welcome you to the Daechi English Park community! My name is Erin O’Toole and I am very excited to meet all of you. I am looking forward to working with you and your child and I hope to make our learning environment a fun, exciting, and nurturing place to learn.

I hail from the great North, where the polar bears strive and where Santa resides. It is a cold faraway place called Woodstock, New Brunswick Canada. It is on the east coast of Canada, where the maple syrup flows and the snow falls harder.

After graduating from high school, I went to University of New Brunswick to study criminology and sociology. I was very active in university life and enjoyed my time there. During the summer vacations, I worked with Native American children at a summer camp. The camp allowed them to learn about their culture and to appreciate Mother Nature. It was a great experience because I could easily interact with the children; it seems to come naturally.

After a few years spent in Canada and Ireland, I decided to move to Korea to experience teaching. I had heard so much about this country, and everyone told me I would always be a great teacher because of my energy, creativity and dedication.

I have been in Korea for a little over nine years now teaching kindergarten in Seoul. I was the only teacher responsible for two homerooms at my previous school, and the homeroom teacher for five years old at Daechi GATE for over six years. I have put 110% into every class I taught and continue until my very last day with each class. That is what I will give to Daechi English Park as the new year starts.

My teaching philosophy is simple; you must be passionate and dedicated to your teaching and students. Every child has the ability to be great. It takes one person in their life to tap into that greatness.

Hard work will take us to great places and every child deserves the best. I know we will have a fantastic time together this year.
Katie Osborne

Hello! My name is Katie Osborne.

I’m from just outside of Atlanta, Georgia in the United States. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in English and I have always loved the diversity of stories that can be found in English. I’m glad I have the opportunity to share that love with young learners!

I came to Korea in 2019 and I earned my TESOL certification in Seoul. I then taught English in the city of Jinju for two years, where I worked with students of all ages as I continued to develop my teaching abilities. One of my favorite parts of teaching is the chance to learn from my students and discover their perspectives each day.
I look forward to helping my students grow in a classroom that promotes confidence and creativity!
Calida Osti

Hello! My name is Calida Osti.

I am originally from Georgia in the
United States.
I graduated from Georgia Southern University with a bachelor’s degree in
English.
While earning my bachelor’s degree, I taught at an afterschool program for students
ages 4-12. Additionally, I created the curriculum for 10 different after-school programs and
worked in various winter and summer camps.
After earning my degree, I taught high school
English in the U.S. for three years before returning to university for my master’s program. After
earning my master’s degree in writing from Lindenwood University, I also earned my TEFL-
certificate, and, most recently, I taught middle school English in Korea.

As a teacher, I believe that each class and each student is unique, and it is important to me to
get to know my students in order to create the best learning environment possible for every
student whom I teach. I also strive to create a safe and engaging classroom where we can learn
and grow together.
I am very excited to meet all of the wonderful students Daechi English Park!
