Alison, The Linguist on Superpeer

Your language coach, bringing people closer, one language at a time

Hi, there! I'm Alison, your language coach. I've been guiding and empowering language learners since 2020. After falling in love with Korean in 2015, I realized that learning another person's native language is one of the most lovely experiences this earth provides. Not only do you feel more connected to that person, but they also feel like they have a friend that they don't have to explain themselves to. In an English-dominated world, my goal is to bring back the beauty and intrigue that lies within bending your perspective to understand another culture, and use my passion for languages as a catalyst to inspire other people to discover the delights of language learning, as well. My Definition of Language Coaching: A holistic approach to language learning that works to further the Client’s progress by empowering and guiding the Client with questions intended to encourage the Client to independently find solutions and follow through with those solutions. “The role of the coach in a coaching session or in a coaching journey is to facilitate the process in a way that takes the client from clarifying goals, through decision making to action planning and accountability" (Stoltzfus, A Coach’s Guide to Asking Powerful Questions). The amount of progress the Client should expect is directly related to how much time, effort, and commitment the Client is willing to dedicate during, as well as outside of the coaching sessions toward their language learning. Working with me is an investment, yes, but it's an investment in yourself. I chose language coaching as my profession because I believe it is the best way to help language learners gain independence in their language learning journey. Modern language education promotes dependence on the teacher. I want to help you feel confident, resourceful, and excited to find your own best way of learning languages so that you can achieve your goals faster and in the most enjoyable way for you.
