Thank you so much for teaching us for the past three years, Ms. Claire! You were always so kind and taught us in a way that was easy to understand.🥲 We really loved having you as our teacher!😻 It's so sad that such a beautiful and kind teacher like you is leaving to prepare for your wedding in another country. We hope you'll be really happy there, and please don't forget us—your 6-4 students from Oksan Elementary! Please forgive me if I made any little mistakes‼️ We love you Ms,Claire 🥹🩷

**Dear Teacher Claire,**

Hello, my name is Ara Byun from 6th grade, class 4.

I have known you since 3rd grade, and at that time, English was new and challenging for me, so I felt quite awkward. I am truly grateful for your kind and patient guidance during those times.

This was my first experience speaking directly with a foreign teacher at school, so honestly, I found it difficult to start conversations. Whenever I had questions, I worried that I might not understand your explanations. However, you always took your time and explained everything kindly, for which I am very thankful.

I remember when I first learned in 5th grade that you had a boyfriend. Do you recall when I told your boyfriend to take good care of you?

You look very young, so I was quite surprised to hear that you are preparing for marriage. Congratulations! Honestly, at first, I thought you were only 20 years old.

When I first met you in 3rd grade, I believed that all foreigners were beautiful. But after visiting Canada and Europe in 4th grade and this year, I realized that’s not always the case… it’s just that you are especially beautiful.

From the very first time I saw you, I thought you were very lovely. Thank you for teaching me so kindly for three years. If possible, please consider visiting this neighborhood sometime.

Thank you very much for everything.

Hello, teacher. I'm Kim Dan-ah, 6th grade, class 5 and 2

Last week, I heard a sad news that the teacher is leaving our school now😭😭

But I don't think it's just sad because you're leaving because something good happened haha🥳

I met my teacher when I first learned English at Oksan Elementary School

Maybe that's why I feel more attached to you and I feel better about you. 🎀You always teach us passionately, and I feel that passion very well. And thank you for accepting the high tension of class 5😅

You gave us lessons every Friday, right? So every Friday English class was fun and very interesting😍

I can't imagine an English class without a teacher because we've been teaching together for more than 3 years

That's how much class with you is a great happiness for me🥰

It's a shame that you are leaving our school, but I will support your life in the future!🎊🍀 Please be happy as you are now when you go to Australia and remember our class 5! 😚Thank you and love you always!😘 ♡ Then bye ♡

Hello, Claire teacher!

My name is Seo Yeon-ji.

I am writing this letter because my teacher is going to Australia from next week.

I first saw you when I was in 3rd grade, but English was difficult for me at that time. But thank you so much for teaching me English in such a fun and interesting way!

Since I had a class with you, English has become more interesting and I want to keep learning. So I really liked you and respected you.

However, I am very sad not to see you again 😰😰.

Still, you are going to Australia for happy days, so I don't think you are just sad.

Thank you so much for teaching me with my Oksan Elementary School. ♡.

Thanks to you always teaching me energetically and passionately, I think our Oksan Elementary School students learned English better and improved their English skills!

I bet you had a hard day, but I am always grateful for you always being beautiful with a bright face.

Teaching with you must have been a great happiness not only for me but also for all the students at Oksan Elementary School.

I think I will miss and miss you even more because we have been teaching together once a week for almost 3 years. 😰

Thank you so much teacher and I love you so much!

Dear teacher Claire
Hello, teacher. I don't know if you remember me, but I'm Ah-young. She suddenly went to Australia recently, so I was very surprised when I heard the news. She's the teacher I've seen since the third grade, to the point where someone asks me who the teacher I've seen the longest at this school is, Claire. I've heard that a lot, but I was very surprised and upset that she was suddenly leaving. But there's nothing I can do about it, so go to Australia, have a happy time with your boyfriend and be happy!!
Sometimes I was bored even when she was in English class, but now that she's really going, I realized how precious the moments I had in class with her were. I hope you continue to be happy and you have to think about us from time to time even if you go to Australia! Stay safe in Australia

Hello, Claire teacher. I'm Kim yuna.

We've been together since third grade, and it's hard to believe you're leaving. It makes me really sad. I really had fun and enjoyed every class with you. And I especially enjoyed the Zootopia game and the Kimchi game the most, haha. It would have been nice if you could stay and teach us in the second semester, but that might be too hard for you, right? I hope you have a great time in Australia, and please remember us. We will definitely remember you too! Claire teacher, thank you for always treating us with kindness and warmth. Thank you so much for everything, Teacher. Goodbye!

Hello! I’m Eun-gyo Jo from Grade 6 at Oksan Elementary School. I was so happy and had such a great time while you were with us for a long time at our school. Thank you for making such wonderful memories with us!

I’m especially grateful because you helped me become more interested in English. Whenever there was a word I didn’t know or got confused about, you always explained it kindly. You also made game time really fun, so I came to really enjoy English class.

I always felt happy when I saw you in the hallway and you greeted us with such a bright smile. I’m so sad we won’t be able to see you anymore 😭😢

Please don’t forget us even after you go to Australia! 😗🤭

It's too bad that you're going to Australia without us. I'm using the studies you've taught me well in video English!!😁 It was an honor to have a class together again.
I will support your second life in Korea.

And when the teacher explained the game, I was able to learn the rules easily and do well because I was not familiar with English words.❣️

If you come back to Korea, please come and see us!! Goodbye, then.🖐💌

English even though it's less than a year ago.

I was really surprised and sad to hear that you are going to Australia. I wanted to have a class with you in the second semester, but I am really sad that you are going.

I'm Kim Jiyu.

Thank you for teaching us for three years.

Thanks to that, I became much better at English than before.

I think I would be so sad if you go to Australia...

It was so nice of you to always let me know if there was anything I didn't know!

And I also remember that you answered in Korean right away when I was speaking in Korean, not English. I loved it!

It would be nice if I could meet you even in middle school..

You're going to take a group photo and think about us even when you go to Australia, right?

We'll make sure to watch it and think about it!

And have fun with your boyfriend in Australia!

Goodbye, then! ♡♡

Hello, Claire. Thank you for always having fun and fun classes with us since the third grade. But I am really sad to hear that you are going to Australia. But I will always remember you even when you go to Australia. It is so meaningful and precious that I can't forget the memories I had with you. Have fun in Australia, too.

Lee Jae Jin, Thursday, July 17, 2025

Hello! It's already been three years and it's been a long time since I learned English from my teacher. I still vividly remember the first day I met her. When I remembered her greeting me "Hello!" with a bright smile, I would feel encouraged without realizing it.

Over the past three years, my classes with you have instilled in me an attitude and confidence in life as well as in English. At first, I was only afraid to read and write long sentences, but now I can write simple essays on my own and communicate naturally with my friends. In particular, I still can't forget the memory of your meticulous feedback on my homework. Every time you correct my errors, I feel my skills strengthen little by little.

I am excited to hear that you are going to Australia, but on the other hand, I am very disappointed. However, I believe that you will have a greater experience in a new environment. I think you will gain a broader perspective in Australia's nature, culture, and exchanges with local students. I sincerely hope that every moment you meet there will be a precious and valuable time.

And thanks to my teacher, I became interested and enjoyed English. I will not forget the expressions, grammar, and confidence I learned from you and will continue to study. I would be very happy if I could share my updates through correspondence or video calls in Australia someday!

I want to say thank you all the time. You were an English teacher, friend, and supporter of me. I hope you are healthy and happy in Australia, and I hope you think of Korea from time to time.

Please love your boyfriend and give her a wedding invitation

Thank you, Claire.
