"As a teacher Lily's skills bridge art and education, teaching the important fundamentals of English, art and creativity. She is passionate about guiding her students toward optimum success"
- Holly Hall The Clairvoyant Lifecoach, Business coach
"Lily can connect children and adults with any culture, both in person and virtually. I've witnessed this as she teaches 3 Afghan children living in California through zoom. She has shared the sweet and soulful art, poetry and songs that they have created with her. She fosters trust and acceptance so her students can express what is in their hearts."
- Sherry Mackay, co-founder at Globally Connected
"Lily is a very warm soul, dedicated to her students. She is smart, resourceful, and keeps her kids engaged with many interesting projects and visits from creative guests."
- Colleen Kong-Savage, the illustrator of The Turtle Ship, the author and the illustrator of Piano Wants to Play
โI have had the pleasure of supporting Lily Kim in building her online school and her in-person school. Lily is amazing to work with. She has an unwavering passion for creating learning environments for kids that help them thrive as the beautiful souls they are! Lily has a vision for education that allows kids to be creative. Autonomous and most importantly, free to be themselves. Lily is the kind of educator that I love to collaborate with. I know however you decide to work with her, it will be magical!โ
-David Richards, educator, cooch, podcast host
"A good teacher is an inspiration for a lifetime. Lily Kim is obviously such a teacher. The joy, the enthusiasm and the love she brings to her students is reflected in their work."
-Sarah Stewart and David Small, the author and illustrator of The Gardner, Caldecott Honor Book (1998)
"I have participated in several of Lily's wonderful, creative classes and she always provides a welcoming, fun atmosphere for all, including both kids and adults. She is an inspiring, wonderful teacher, with endless creativity, and filled with great ideas for new projects and learning experiences. I highly recommend any classes she offers, as you will discover your creative talents and have great fun at the same time."
- Caroline Joy Adams, M.Ed., artist, educator, and author of six books, including Have Fun with Haiku, and Explore the World Together Now.
โLily has been a tremendous gift from the first day of meeting. Her bright smile, her warm and honest presence, and playful energy are just a few of her attributes that allow not only adults, but children, to feel seen and honoured in her presence. She undeniably lives and breathes the curious exploration she guides children through. You will feel the allowance she gives her own inner child to sing and dance through life as you witness her in her purpose! I feel her simple and accessible, value-based approach is a necessity in the lives of children today. Lily, in more ways than one, represents the future of teaching.โ
- ASHLEY, Founder of Raising Humanity, a transformational development platform, helps people recreate their foundation of beliefs based on their own values so that they can walk their most authentic path and support future generations in living theirs.
โLily is a passionate and dedicated teacher, who inspires her students to love learning about English, books and art. Shetruly loves working with her students, and always has a positive attitude and friendly smile. She's a valuable teacher for anyone who wants to learn English, read good books, and explore artistic expression. I highly recommend Lily!โ
-Helena Ku Rhee, author of The Turtle Ship, Rosaโs Song, The Paper Kingdom and Soraโs Shells
โLily has a curriculum that eases children into the English language in a holistic way not normally taught. She utilizes painting and drawing, clay sculpture, music, poetry, nature studies, history, science, and literature to not only teach the language, but also to enrich the student's lives. She is a confidence builder and her students reflect that. I have had the opportunity to SKYPE with Lily's students half a dozen times in the last five years. Though English is their second language, they ask intelligent and thought provoking questions of me and they seem to have a deep understanding of what they're studying. Their interactions and respect reflect their education. Lily schedules our SKYPE interviews on a Saturday, which is not a normal school day for her students, but both parents and children attend, and their enthusiasm is contagious. Two years ago our newspaper did a large article on Lily and her classes. They were so impressed that they also filmed a video of the interactions of teacher and students. I give her the highest recommendation possible. She will be an asset and a devoted educator."
-Sharon Lovejoy, Author, Illustrator, educator, keynote speaker
โIt has been a privilege to know Lily, both professionally and personally. Lily demonstrates the delicate balance needed for a child to thrive. She is fun and kind, while being challenging and engaging. Through her love of art, her curiosity, and her compassionate heart, Lily is able to create unique learning opportunities. She is able to challenge the mind and comfort the heart with every lesson and activity. If you have the opportunity to join in one of Lily's classes or learn from her, take it!โ
