안녕하세요, My name is Kyo and I am so excited that you are interested in learning Korean.

I have 6+ years of experience with tutoring and as a avid second language learner myself, I know how scary it can be to learn a new language but I promise to make our lessons fun and interactive! I will make sure to plan our lessons according to your goals and needs for learning Korean. 

A bit more about me...

- Working as an UX/UI designer 
- Have interests in nature, travel, psychology, design, photography and more!
- Love getting to know new people and learning about different cultures 
- Enjoy reading, being surrounded by nature, watching psychological thrillers, playing the ukulele

IMPORTANT: I am an adult tutor, I do not teach children or teenagers. My experience with teaching students has been entirely in the adult realm, so if you are looking for a tutor for young pupils, I will not be a good fit.

With my rich experience of tutoring, I have learned that all students learn at their own pace and in their own way.  
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! 

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.  Take the first step towards achieving goals and book a trial lesson with me today! 

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!

Hello, My name is JuYoung.  I am a experience Korean teacher  who also has specialized degree in Korean studies.  I'm passionate about helping you achieve fluency. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to build on your existing knowledge, I'll provide personalized guidance tailored to your learning style.

The biggest purpose of learning a language is communication. It's therefore important to listen carefully and pronounce words correctly.

If you're a beginner, let's study the correct pronunciation of sounds step by step. Do you already know the alphabet? The next step is gaining confidence. I'll make sure you can speak Korean confidently while practicing with me.  

If you're already at a high level of Korean, studying Korean through newspapers and TV news is more effective than sticking to ordinary textbooks.

Let's study Korean together on work-related topics.

Learning a language is about understanding culture, which can be very rewarding, but it requires patience and effort.  

Dear everyone,

I'll prepare textbooks, homework, and everything else according to your Korean level. Just bring your enthusiasm when you study Korean with me.

See you soon.

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 🇫🇷 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 5years, 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.
