About Me

Hi! My name is Jeff Jacobsen and I am originally from Seattle, WA. After graduating from Washington State University I moved to Korea to teach English at a public middle school. I quickly fell in love with teaching and knew I wanted to make it my career. In 2011, I received my Masters in Teaching from Seattle University. I have been teaching middle school math ever since.

When I'm not teaching, I love traveling every chance I get, eating out, making videos, and playing sports (soccer, golf, basketball, snowboarding). International teaching has given me the opportunity to combine both my personal and professional pursuits. By sharing my interests with my students, whether through coaching soccer, leading experiential education trips, or exploring different types of food, my hope is to empower my students to pursue their own passions. I feel very fortunate to be apart of a profession that is so fulfilling.
