So, how would you like to meet Mr. Bondaygee?

Feel free to write an email or give a call or arrange a meeting if you're living in Canada. I love Korean people! It's also possible to arrange a Skype meeting if you so desire.

I currently live in Kelowna, BC, Canada, (a city with a sky-rocketing Korean population!) Kelowna is probably the most beautiful city in Canada. It's approximately 380 Kms East of Vancouver and it is situated next to the beautiful and giant Okanagan Lake, which provides gorgeous beaches throughout the city in the summer time.

With technology improving so rapidly it's becoming obvious that online teaching is the way of the future. There's no need to waste time and money on transportation costs and the problem of finding a good, experienced teacher. As more and more Universities and hospitals utilize online education, so too will all types of learning be found through the internet. Education will flourish as the "right teacher" is just a few mouse clicks away.

It was a great year teaching online for Sapa, Bongrim, Jayeo, Bangdong, Yumok, and Donga Elementary and Middle schools. It was a lot of fun. Although this teaching year is over. Feel free to setup more classes whether they be a group class or individual classes. I offer a very fair price at only 20$ CAN for 30 minutes or 40$ for an hourI can teach 1:1It was a great year teaching online for Sapa, Bongrim, Jayeo, Bangdong, Yumok, and Donga Elementary and Middle schools.

Sir James

Who is Mr. Bondaygee (미스터 번데기)?

(한국말 이야기 밑에보세요!)

jamesicon1997: Canadian, UBC Graduate, James Purdie decided to move to Korea to teach ESL and learn about foreign culture and languages.

2000: While teaching children, English Teacher, James, has idea to make a "Bondaygee" song (번데기 송) after hearing children chant "bondaygee bondaygee" 번데기 번데기. James later shares song with children who suddenly love it.

2002: James creates an English School in Cheongju, South Korea, named "JJ's English Friends", and starts to make his own curriculum while carefully watching how students learned.

2003: James starts using video as a teaching tool, putting children right into "video dialogues" and then giving digital copies of their work so they don't forget the lessons and English dialogues.

Later in 2003: James asks middle school students what kind of video they want to make. Students cry for a "Bondaygee Song"-Musical Comedy. James agrees and transforms into larger than life, hero, "James Bondaygee" for the film. The film turns into a major success with all students. (This was also a funny coincidence since as a child idolized movie legend, James Bond 007!)

2004: James turns boring study word lists into musical songs and then videos. The Very Good Words System is born! Students thrive and beg for more. James completes 8 Very Good Word Songs and videos without rest!

2005: James moves to Seoul and starting teaching in public schools. For first time, James introduces himself as Mr. Bondaygee. The students go wild with interest and imagination. They learn "Mr. Bondaygee's Very Good Word" Songs and incredible speed. They thrive. It's awesome.

The rest is history!

2009 James returns to Canada, ending a ten year adventure, to share in stories with curious Canadians, (but still loves to speak Korean and meeting Korean people).

The Bondaygee Story 번데기 이야기

 

저에대해조금설명하자면,

1997년에처음한국에영어교사로갔었습니다.

처음생각은신기함이고,

나라와달라조금힘들었죠. 하지만차차좋아지게됐습니다.

어느날학원에서아이들가르치는도중

아이들이번데기하나, 번데기하는게임을보게됐죠.

집에와서 내가번데기노래를기타치며따라불렀습니다.

그런데진짜로시장에서팔고있는번데기를보게돼었죠.

당시한국말은몰랐지만,

반가움에번데기라고외쳤죠.

생긴게웃겨서웃음이나더라고요.

다시한번번데기라고불러보니좋았습니다.

나중에찾아보니있는상징이있다는알게됐죠.

인간은아름다운무언가를 향해성장하고변화있다는자연의가르침,

뜻이좋아서번데기노래를만들어불렀죠.

바로다음날학원에가서연주했더니, 학생들이아주좋아했어요.

다음학생들이번데기뮤직비디오를요구해왔죠.

그런후로제임스번데기불리게됐습니다.

저렇게불리고나니어렸을생각이웃음이절로나왔드랬죠.

어렸을적에항상007제임스본드를열망해왔거든요.

뒤로다른학원이나학교를갈때마다제임스번데기라고소개를하니학생들반응이뜨거웠습니다.

학생들이재미있어하니영어배우는것도좋아하더군요.bondwelc
