Korean classes in Oakland: Try a class for free

Hello everyone! My name is YONGJIN (용진).  

I was born and grew up in Korea. I speak Korean natively and I have learned English, Japanese and Spanish by heart either through formal educations or extensive travel. Over ten years living, working and traveling oversea. All four languages are tools to help facilitate our learning process.  

I have a passion for teaching languages, and I love helping people learn Korean. I believe I have natural abilities to teach languages that I can communicate very well with people regardless of one's backgrounds. 

 I am gentle, attentive and open-minded. I will be looking after your progress. Please give it a try!

I've been teaching Korean for years at private language schools and volunteer organizations(NGO) in various countries.

I will be speaking to you in Korean during the lesson, unless you're a beginner. We will discuss it in more details on the first lesson. (speaking ratio between Korean and other languages to explain).  Whether you never learned any foreign languages or not, I will help you build the foundations, boost your motivation and to be more confident in speaking.  

In this online learning platform, the lessons have to be highly interactive. To be able to do that, I want the lessons to be 80-95% conversational.  Interactive communication is the key to improving overall Korean language, and it enables you to learn more practical and colloquial Korean.  That being said, I will also cover grammar and usage of Korean, let alone conversational elements. I will promise you that the lesson will be educational, useful, street-smart and informative. Each lesson, You'll be learning conversations in certain places. Imagine, you're actually in that place, and you need to speak Korean to get what you want. We can also talk about certain topics such as social issues, life in general in Korea etc. I have charts, dialogues, topics to discuss and role play materials ready for the first-time learner and experienced learners. Plus, I have a physical whiteboard right behind me to support explanations in more details.

I look forward to seeing you on the first trial lesson.

Stay focused and keep being motivated!

*Complete Beginner Level (Level 0) Welcome!  

안녕하세요!   Hello, everyone.  I am Juyoung, a Korean Tutor. I was born, raised and educated in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Korean Language and literature and completed the Korean Teacher Education Program. I also have 6 years of teaching experience.  

My experience living in India, Laos, Egypt, and Belgium as a foreigner has given me a deep understanding of different cultures and people. Language is a product of its culture, so learning a language requires an understanding of each other's differences based on our shared humanity.

Many of my students have been with me for years, and witnessing their progress brings me immense joy.

Most of the students who started studying with me became more fluent and accurate Korean speakers. During the lesson, I successfully encourage students to use Korean from an early stage on. My teaching style helps students improve their conversational Korean and speak naturally. I will teach you expressions and phrases to sound like a native speaker.

I understand that every student is different and learns at their own pace. As a teacher, it is my job to find the best solution to help you improve.

Are you a complete beginner? That's okay! Let's start with the basics, such as correct pronunciation and conversational Korean skills. I'll help you develop the confidence you need to communicate effectively in Korean.

If you already know the alphabet, I can help you take your Korean to the next level. I use a variety of teaching methods and resources to make learning Korean fun and engaging.

I’ll provide presentations, materials(text book, news article, video clips, also on your need and interest) and homework to help you  succeed. 

Contact me today for a free consultation to learn more about how I can help you achieve your Korean language learning goals. In the trial class, I’ll measure your Korean proficiency and introduce you to our teaching methods. Together, we’ll make a plan to achieve your goals.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!  

Best regards,

JuYoung
