Office hours should feel like a tide chart, not a wall clock imported from elsewhere. We rotate facilitator roles weekly and cap simultaneous debugging to two screens so everyone hears nuance. Paragraph two documents the async buffer: every live session ends with a three-bullet recap pinned above the cohort FAQ channel. Learners in career transitions told us those bullets matter more than polished slide PDFs. Third, we outline how learner support staff triages language questions—Korean summaries appear within 24 hours, but live translation is not guaranteed. That honesty keeps expectations aligned. Finally, we acknowledge the gap: some incidents still happen at 3 a.m. local time. We provide a lightweight pager playbook, not therapy, and point to external resources when stress spikes.
