*Complete Beginner Level (Level 0) Welcome! ย
ย
์๋ ํ์ธ์! ย Hello, everyone. ย 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. ย
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.
ย
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.
ย
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.
Iโll provide presentations, materials(text book, news article, video clips, also on your need and interest) and homework to help you ย succeed.ย
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, Iโll measure your Korean proficiency and introduce you to our teaching methods. Together, weโll make a plan to achieve your goals.
ย
I look forward to hearing from you soon! ย
Best regards,
JuYoung

Hello everyone! My name is YONGJIN (์ฉ์ง). ย
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. ย
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.ย
ย 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). ย 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. ย
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. ย Interactive communication is the key to improving overall Korean language, and it enables you to learn more practical and colloquial Korean. ย 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!ย

With my rich experience of tutoring, I have learned that all students learn at their own pace and in their own way. ย
In our trial lesson I will get to know you, your goals and the way you learn best.
Is it your first time learning Korean? That's totally fine! We can start from scratch, learning how to read the Korean alphabet. In a few hours, you'll find yourself reading Korean language!ย
I am a patient & good listener. My goal is to help you achieve your goals so whether you would like to work on your grammar skills, vocabulary, or pronunciation, I can make structured lessons for you depending on your needs.
Or if you would like to work on your speaking conversation skills, we can just talk informally and I can correct you if you would like to be corrected. And we can talk about anything of interest that you would like to talk about and we can just keep fun and casual conversations.
Taking that first Korean lesson can be so scary but I promise after our trial lesson, you will feel motivated and excited to start your Korean learning journey. ย Take the first step towards achieving goals and book a trial lesson with me today!ย

I'm a native Korean, born and raised in Seoul, specifically in Gangnam. I completed my entire school journey in Gangnam, from elementary to high school. My life's adventures didn't stop there; I've lived in different countries, including Australia, Malaysia, Germany, and Italy. I now call France ๐ซ๐ท home.
I dedicated over 12 years to playing the piano during my childhood and pursued a degree in Hotel Management in Australia. Leveraging my hotel management background, I worked as a flight attendant in Germany. For about two years, I followed my dream in Italy, especially in the region of Sicily. I'm captivated by the film "Cinema Paradiso."
Beyond cultural explorations, I have a deep love for the ocean and sports. I've taught Korean for over 4 years, having experienced the challenges of learning different languages myself, I understand how you might feel. I'm passionate about teaching Korean and am studying for the Level 2 Korean teacher certificate.
My classes focus on conversation in Korean, aimed at improving your speaking skills. I customize my teaching methods to suit your needs, whether you're a beginner or looking to advance your Korean proficiency. We'll focus on practical language skills, engaging in conversations, ordering food, traveling, and effectively communicating with native speakers. We'll also explore Korean culture, from traditional customs to modern trends, including K-Pop and K-Drama. My goal is to make you a confident communicator in Korean.
If you're ready to start this language learning journey with me, I encourage you to take a trial lesson. It's the perfect way to get a taste of what our lessons are like and to see how quickly you can progress. My Korean lessons are suitable for all levels. Let's make learning Korean a fun and rewarding experience together.

On LanguaTalk, you can find exceptional tutors for 1-on-1 Korean lessons tailored to your goals and learning preferences. Hereโs how to try it for yourself:
1 - Find your ideal tutor by browsing videos, reviews, pricing and availability.
2 - Book a trial. Many tutors offer a 30-minute trial for free; others charge a discounted price.
3 - Take personalised lessons with your new tutor via video call. Or try someone else.
No card is required to book a free trial session. Please only book if youโre considering taking lessons. Pricing varies by tutor and you can use the filter to find someone who fits your budget. You can pay one lesson at a time, or buy in bulk for a discount (open a tutor's profile to see their pricing options).
Weโre confident youโll love learning via LanguaTalk. We're trusted by students all over the world because we're transparent. We ask students to rate each lesson, and we display reviews on tutorsโ profiles.
99.8% of lesson ratings are 5 stars. Why? Because unlike other platforms, we accept only the top 10% of tutor applications.
To see our full FAQs or get help from our friendly team, click the 'Help' button in the bottom-right. You can also watch students talking about their experiences learning via LanguaTalk below.
1-on-1 lessons are perhaps the best way to improve speaking skills, and because of this many students use LanguaTalk to learn to speak Korean fluently. That said, some students have other, more specific goals. Tell your tutor what your goals are and they'll tailor the lessons to your needs. Most tutors can help with any of the following:
New to LanguaTalk? You'll have one credit for a free trial. Most tutors offer a trial for free. If they do not, theyโll offer a trial session at a discount compared to their usual hourly rate.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to assess whether the tutor is a good fit for you, and get a feel for learning online. The tutor will assess your level and aim to understand your needs and interests so that they can customise any lessons you decide to take. You'll be encouraged to speak in Korean as much as possible, but of course you can speak in English too!
After your session, if you feel that the tutor isnโt quite right for you, you can simply book a trial with someone else.
Most of the Korean tutors on our site are able to teach students of all levels. When you click on a tutor's profile you'll see if certain levels are not supported. For example, certain tutors cannot teach complete beginners.
Likewise, you can also see on the tutor's profile whether they're suitable for all ages. Online Korean lessons are sometimes taken to support school/college studies. Usually, the tutor will be able to customise the lessons to follow the material and topics covered in the student's exams. Please note that as per our Terms & Conditions, students who are under 18 must get permission from a legal guardian before booking.
Lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutorโs full attention and can make fast progress. Communicating via video call, youโll be able to talk to your tutor and share learning materials as if you were in the same room.
The tutors vary in terms of their teaching methods, resources, experiences, and personalities. So we suggest you look at several profiles to choose the best tutor for you. Whichever Korean tutor you pick, they'll aim to tailor the lessons to your individual needs.
The vast majority of students take 55-minute lessons. But some tutors also provide the option of 30-minute lessons. If they do, youโll see this noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the โBuy Lessonsโ button).
55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. In general, we only suggest considering 30-minute lessons if theyโre for your child, or you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
We want students to have an exceptional learning experience on LanguaTalk, so we only accept the very best tutor applications. Though we consider qualifications and experience, we place equal value on communication skills, personality and reviews from previous students. Almost all tutors are native speakers of the language they teach, and we require that they can speak English too.
Each tutor is different - they have different backgrounds, strengths, teaching methods and personalities. So we suggest you browse several profiles to find the right Korean tutor for you.
The beauty of taking lessons online is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. To see tutors who are likely to fit your weekly schedule, use the availability filter at the top. Then when you see a tutor you like, check their profile calendar to make sure their time slots work for you. Some tutors have limited availability as they already have lots of students.
Our booking system is designed to be incredibly easy to use. You can see tutors' available hours in your local time zone. If you choose to book lessons with a tutor, you'll be able to purchase them one at a time, or buy in bulk with a volume discount. You can pay securely by card on our website.
You can manually add bookings to your personal calendar, or if you use Google calendar, you can add bookings automatically with our syncing feature. You'll also be able to receive email reminders to help ensure you don't forget to turn up.
You can reschedule or cancel lessons in a couple of clicks. Note that this can only be done up to 24 hours before the lesson time. This rule is required to protect tutors, who lose income when lessons are cancelled at the last minute.
Sometimes students feel uncertain about learning Korean online because they think itโll be totally different to learning face-to-face. But usually when they try it, they find that the experience is almost the same and they often build a strong relationship with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your chosen Korean tutor online, youโll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. Theyโll usually also share learning resources with you (using Google Docs, YouTube etc.) and youโll be able to collaborate in real-time.
If you live in the US or Europe, face-to-face Korean lessons may cost anywhere between $20 and $60 (USD) per hour. Online tutoring tends to be cheaper than face-to-face because the tutor doesn't need to travel to you. An online Korean tutor could cost anywhere from $13 to $50 per hour, but be aware that very cheap tutors may lack experience. On LanguaTalk, Korean tutors typically charge between $14 and $40 per hour.
Of course, learning 1-on-1 with an experienced Korean tutor is not the cheapest way to learn; you could learn via a free app instead. But if you're serious about learning, nothing beats 1-on-1 Korean lessons with a great teacher.
There is no 'best way' to learn a language - it depends on your needs, level and budget. If you can't afford to take lessons, you can use a free app such as Duolingo to build your vocabulary. And to improve your listening skills, you can watch TV and listen to podcasts in Korean. But to learn how to actually speak a language, you need to talk to a native speaker on a regular basis and receive accurate feedback so that you improve. If you want to make fast progress, it's best to take 1-on-1 lessons that are tailored to your needs by an experienced online Korean teacher.
