suksuk

Suksuk 선생님 is one of the most creative and fun teachers I have met in my life. She focuses on teaching high-frequency real-life day-to-day words and sentences as opposed to textbook-style teaching, great if you want to pick things up in a natural way. Appreciate her hard work in sending flash cardsand homework for review on my free time over email. Tyvm 선생님 :)

I had an excellent trial lesson with suksuk. She stands out in several ways for me. Among them: 1) Her approach to learning vocabulary is not random; words that have similar components are learned as a batch, and this context is very helpful. 2) Her emphasis on speaking--mistakes and all--really matches my goals. I also want to mention that her materials are excellent and she seemed to have an incredible variety of prepared slides at her fingertips to call up and use to explain a grammar point at a moment's notice. This was an excellent experience!

I have been studying with Suksuk 선생님 for four months now. In my first session with her, literally the only thing I could say was 안녕하세요. With her help and guidance, now I am able to hold simple conversations about kdrama and write short essays on books and movies. Learning with Suksuk 선생님, you feel like you are not just learning Korean as a language subject, but also as an organic tool for understanding the Korean culture and society. I honestly cannot recommend her enough!

As someone who has sat in various beginner classes for several languages, it's nice to not start with the same old "I am" "You are" "Hello" stuff. It's quite nice to be taught to say actually useful sentences and to learn grammar rules this early on. This is only my second lesson, but I have learned quite a lot, both about the language and about Korean culture. I'm already able to sound out some Korean writing even if I don't know the words.

I walked into this first lesson with suksuk with no knowledge of the language and was able to sound out Korean writing after half an hour. It doesn't get much better than that!

Suksuk is really a great teacher. Very patient and encouraging, good lesson topics. Even though I was not in a good body condition today, she complimented me for doing well. It made me feel good and keep being motivated.
