As a language teacher, I have to be explicit when interacting with my students. In such a way that will consistently improve cognitive development. As many know Rome wasnโ€™t built in a day and thatโ€™s the same when learning Korean thatโ€™s why I have always emphasised to my students the necessity of consistency and patience when learning the Korean language. Time after time I have proven to my students with a little focus combined with my teachings, they can be successful in reaching their goals. From experience, I know that everyone learns differently, therefore, I do my best to cater to everyoneโ€™s needs. I am happy to customise our lessons that will best suit your needs.

I have over nine years of teaching experience, including teaching people whose first language is not Korean. I also teach as a teacher in Korea now. When I graduated college, while working as an administrative assistant I realized that I wanted to pursue teaching. I learned that teaching Korean to other nationality would make a big difference and great impact in my personality. Now, I am really enjoying it and I know that I want it to be my permanent career.

Slow Speaker, Patient Listener โ€œHeโ€™s FRIENDLY, PATIENT and KNOWLEDGEABLEโ€ Iโ€™ve taught 3,000+ lessons to 200+ students. On average, one student took about 15 lessons with me, which is the highest number among other teachers. (Not to brag but) a lot of my regular students have taken over 100 classes. Weโ€™ve become good friends and not just the usual teacher-student relationship. So, Iโ€™m really happy about that. I liked Korean class when I was young. I was especially good at presentations and writing. I like to talk about the differences between similar Korean expressions and grammar points by explaining their nuances. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m a teacher of other Korean teachers.

*Vacation 7/30~8/14. Will be back after fueling 100% :D* Your friendly neighbor Korean Let's have a blast while we are organically studying Korean by having a conversation that could happen in real life. Since I spent my whole life studying foreign languages, I can relate to the struggles of learning and speaking a foreign language as a second language. But I believe this makes me a more attentive tutor because I've been there and done that. Most importantly, I have found the fun in it! So I'd like to share the beauty of learning Korean and shed some light on your interest in Korea. :D

๐Ÿ˜ƒTo touch the mind, invariably we must first touch the heart; learning Korean is no different.๐Ÿ‘Œ The goal of my education is to enable learners to express their thoughts and feelings through language, communicate them to others, understand each other, and establish relationships. So, I'm always focusing on the learner's language skills and what the learner is interested in. I think that the learner's Korean ability and the desired learning method are important, so we adjust the pace and progress according to the learner's ability, and make the most of it if there is a method that the learner wants.

Native Korean teacher who teach everyday conversation with 10+ years of experience living abroad I've been teaching online since 2015, and although I teach all levels, I'm most experienced with beginners and intermediate learners. For me, getting to know you as a student and as a person are both important. How do you learn and process things? What are your strengths and weaknesses? What sparks your interest? How can the learning process be more relevant or meaningful to you? These are the questions I ask myself as a teacher, and I will support and guide you as much as I can and match to your needs.

Among them, there was a 7-year-old child, and there were entrance students preparing for college. When I was in university student, I used to be tutor as a part-time job. At that time, the subject I taught was Korean literature, but A woman in her 50s has ever asked if she could learn Hangeul, I accepted it, then I have taught Hangeul to Koreans. All of these experiences helped me meet learners of various ages and helped me understand about them.

๐ŸŒผ My class suits best for B1 or above in Korean. Please make sure you check your level first! Hi! I do have some experience in teaching people in wide range of age, from toddlers to the elderly, including teaching languages or knowledge. Since it is likely that you're highly interested in learning language, I would love to share how awesome it is to work your brain and trick it into thinking that your target language is your mother tongue. ;) But... I mostly focus on sharing and having deeper understanding of a person which will give me insight on how to bring improvement in the best way. And that usually brings my improvement as well. So It's a win-win! :D
