Hi, I'm Claire — founder of Yours Clairely.
I’m a bilingual communication coach.
I help Korean adults abroad speak English with confidence in everyday conversations, and I support early learning educators in Alberta to communicate clearly and calmly with children, families, and colleagues — so everyone feels heard and connected.
I know what it's like to be invisible because of language.
When I moved from Korea to Canada, even ordering foods at a restaurant felt like performing on stage. People spoke fast. I smiled and nodded. And slowly, I started to disappear.
Silence has a weight — not because you have nothing to say, but because you're afraid no one will wait long enough to hear you.
The moment everything changed.
One morning at a school assembly, my ESL teacher stood in front of hundreds of students and spoke for me. She told our story — the struggle, the hope of English Language Learners. Her voice cracked. She cried. Everyone clapped.
I stood beside her, frozen. Not because I was moved — but because someone else was telling my story while my own voice stayed silent.
In that moment, I promised myself: "Never again will someone speak for me."
What I discovered about real communication.
The most confident English speakers aren't the most "perfect" ones. They're the ones who connect — who listen, respond, and laugh even when their words aren't flawless.
So I studied communication like it was a language of its own: tone, pauses, empathy, cultural nuance. I earned my Bachelor of Education, Graduate Certificate in Professional Communication Management, and worked as a Learning and Development Manager, training students and employees across programs. I learned that real communication isn't about perfect grammar — it's about genuine connection.
Then friends started asking: "How do you sound so clear?" "Can you teach me?"
They could see what great communication unlocked. But they didn't know how to get there themselves.
Hows Yours Clairely helps you find your voice in communication.
I created simple, practical communication training that builds confidence without perfectionism. Because you already have something valuable to say — I just help you say it clearly.
When Korean adults can express themselves naturally, they stop feeling invisible. When educators communicate with calm clarity, they build better relationships with everyone in their care.
Yours Clairely has now helped hundreds of learners — from immigrants building new lives abroad to educators creating warmer classroom environments. No grammar drills. No perfection pressure. Just real English for real life.
