Won, Jung Hee
Korean Language Teacher, Ridgefield High School
Hello! My name is Junghee Won and I currently teach Korean Levels 1 through 5 Honors at Ridgefield High School. This is my fourth year teaching at Ridgefield, and I feel truly privileged to be part of such a vibrant and diverse learning community.
I earned my B.A. in Education from Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea. I also completed the K–12 Teaching Certificate program at Rutgers University and currently hold a New Jersey Standard Teaching Certificate.
My teaching philosophy is centered on student-driven learning and the belief that language and culture are deeply interconnected. In my Korean classes, students actively participate in both language acquisition and cultural exploration. I strive to create a supportive, student-centered environment where learners are encouraged to grow with curiosity and confidence.
Let’s work hard and make the 2025–2026 school year a fun and meaningful one together!
