Jewel Benty has taught EAP to South Korean students for three years through her laptop’s camera. She has found a passion for helping L2 speakers find confidence in themselves and in their ability to read novels and poems commonly seen as too ‘difficult’ or ‘boring’ for the average English learner. When she’s not putting together an eccentric lesson or reading classic literature, you can find her running a creative writing club for her students.
