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.

[19th lessons] Shelly Lee gives 100% for every lesson, and adapts to the way I want to study. She is focused and always returns a summary after the lesson that I can use to review my Korean. She has become my teacher and I regard her as a friend. I can recommend Shelly wholeheartedly for all Korean learners.

15th lesson. Shelly and I have worked together to consolidate my knowledge as a result of studying. Each period I focus on Korean stories. I ask questions about sentences in these stories in a short email in the weekend and receive an elaborate answer, detailing the structure of the sentences and often also why sentences are structured that way. After 10 lessons, I changed the rhythm of our meetings and Shelly adapted perfectly. The lessons with Shelly are inspiring and assist me in continuing with confidence. They boost my interest in both language and culture. I consistently look forward to the lessons with Shelly. I recommend her as a teacher in Korean.

After the intro, I had two lessons with Hyun Jung Lee, and I am happy about the contents. She is fun to work with and supports the study with her own materials and with enthusiastic lessons. I have planned more lessons and will return here when I finished those lessons.
