Meet the Business Owner: Jon J.
Born in South Korea, I first arrived in America in 1996 and currently call both San Diego and Los Angeles, California my home. I have worked in the education business since 2005, when I first began to bring international English language students to San Diego. In 2015, I co-founded my own school, the "U and Me" Academy in San Diego. I have earned several business certificates, including a certificate in E-commerce and financial advising. Moreover, I am proud to say that I earned my TEFL certification in 2019.
As a result of all my successful endeavors, I have gained extensive knowledge and experience in helping people navigate through the difficult maze of applications for American visas, including F-1 and J-1. I believe in helping others to learn how to help themselves, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
