Welcome to Twin.kle English Korea!
Twin.kle English was born from the shared vision my twin brother Andrew and I have for making learning fun and engaging. Growing up in New Jersey, I studied English Literature, and I’ve always felt passionate about sharing the magic of reading with students. I'm also the founder of Turtleship Books, where we design high-quality English textbooks for elementary learners, used in all of our campuses.
Our goal is to transform the traditional lecture-based approach in Korea and create an engaging, dynamic, and thought-provoking educational experience. That’s why we’ve designed an American-based curriculum that encourages students to think independently, ask questions, and make meaningful discoveries. Since our classes are fully immersive and discussion-based, we admit students who already have a solid foundation in English. Many of our graduates go on to study at top universities abroad.

Twin.kle English Korea - Filling Minds with Wonder
| Reading & Discussion-based Learning |
Twin.kle offers a curriculum that alternates between fiction and non-fiction classes, where students read texts on subjects like history and science. After each reading, they engage in meaningful discussions, reflecting on the material, sharing opinions, and connecting it to their own lives. With a maximum of 8 students per class, personalized 1:1 feedback ensures each student gets the support they need to succeed. Using the Harkness Method, a discussion-based approach, students actively engage in discussions, building critical thinking and confidence to express their thoughts in English.
|
| In-house American Curriculum |
Unlike American textbooks, which are often created by staff who aren’t familiar with the needs of Korean students, Twinkle’s in-house books are developed by the teachers who work directly with them. We’ve streamlined the content through our publishing company, Turtleship Books.
|
| Campuses |
We have 7 campuses located in major cities and regional hubs: Gangnam, Bundang, Mokdong, Songdo, Ilsan, Mapo, and Busan. In addition, we offer kindergarten programs at select campuses, along with an exclusive campus, Twin.kle Little Star English, and an online platform, Twin.kle U. |

Our Curriculum and Programs
Our curriculum integrates both fiction and non-fiction, ensuring that students not only excel in English but also develop into independent thinkers who can express themselves confidently and critically in any context.. In fiction, students engage with novels, practice creative writing, and strengthen their reading comprehension skills. In non-fiction, they explore subjects such as science, history, speech, debate, and curiosity training, which encourage critical thinking and intellectual growth.
