Speaking-Focused Lessons for English&French Speakers | 5+ Years of Experience | Beginners Welcome Hello! Iโ€™m Dayeon, a native Korean tutor. My goal is not only to help you understand Korean, but also to help you use it confidently in real conversations. My lessons are a great fit for you if you: * Are starting Korean from the very beginning * Understand grammar but find speaking difficult * Are preparing for a trip to Korea or want to learn everyday conversation Complete beginners are always welcome. I explain everything slowly and clearly at your own pace. < Structured and personalized lessons > I use step-by-step Korean learning materials that I have created myself. They are available in both English and French, so you can choose the language that helps you understand Korean most comfortably. In my lessons, you will learn pronunciation, essential grammar, and practical everyday expressions. You will also have plenty of opportunities to speak by repeatedly practicing questions and answers. The pace and difficulty of each lesson are adjusted according to your level and personal goals. I have over five years of experience teaching English and French, and I also worked as a Korean Language Helper at the Korean Language Center of Korea University. Through these experiences, I have learned how to quickly identify the areas students find difficult and explain them clearly and patiently through a variety of examples and repeated practice. Practice speaking Korean in a relaxed but structured environment. I look forward to meeting you in class!

Native Korean Tutor | 20 Years in Europe | Practical, Business & Personalized Korean Hello! I'm a native Korean speaker but have spent nearly 20 years living in Europe. Having experienced both Korean and European cultures firsthand, I can explain not only the Korean language but also the culture, mindset, and way of thinking behind it in fluent English. Over the past 12 years, I've built my career in global companies, working for both American multinational corporations and one of Korea's largest companies alongside colleagues from diverse cultural backgrounds. Having often served as a bridge between Korean and international cultures, I can help you understand not only everyday Korean but also the practical Korean used in professional and business settings, with clear explanations in English. Learning a new language is about much more than memorizing vocabulary and grammar. To speak naturally, you also need to understand the culture, context, and nuances that shape the language. Having lived abroad for many years myself, I've come to re-discover and understand the Korean language and culture through the eyes of non-Koreans. Because of that, I understand where learners struggle, why certain expressions are confusing, and how to explain them in a way that makes sense. Whether you want to better understand your favorite K-content, communicate more naturally with Korean friends or your partner, prepare to study or work in Korea, or develop professional Korean for the workplace, I'd be delighted to help you on your learning journey.

๐Ÿ˜ƒTo touch the mind, invariably we must first touch the heart; learning Korean is no different.๐Ÿ‘Œ The goal of my teaching is to help learners express their thoughts and emotions through language, communicate effectively with others, and build meaningful relationships through mutual understanding. I always focus on each learnerโ€™s individual language development and personal interests, ensuring that every lesson is both engaging and relevant. Because I believe that each learnerโ€™s Korean proficiency and preferred learning style are equally important, I tailor the pace and structure of my lessons to suit their abilities. When a student has a particular learning method that works best for them, I do my best to incorporate it to maximize their progress and confidence.

Slow Speaker, Patient Listener โ€œHeโ€™s FRIENDLY, PATIENT and KNOWLEDGEABLEโ€ Iโ€™ve taught 3,000+ lessons to 200+ students. On average, one student took about 15 lessons with me, which is the highest number among other teachers. (Not to brag but) a lot of my regular students have taken over 100 classes. Weโ€™ve become good friends and not just the usual teacher-student relationship. So, Iโ€™m really happy about that. I liked Korean class when I was young. I was especially good at presentations and writing. I like to talk about the differences between similar Korean expressions and grammar points by explaining their nuances. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m a teacher of other Korean teachers.

Hello! I'm Hoyeon. I live on Geoje Island in South Korea. I used to work as a software engineer, and now I work as a Korean tutor. Language learning has always been one of my hobbies. Because of that interest, and for a few different reasons along the way, I eventually started teaching Korean. When we learn a language, I don't think we are creating something completely new. Most of the time, we are recalling and reusing phrases or sentences we have heard or used before. That's why I focus on repetition. My job is to find ways to make that repetition effective without making it boring. Each student receives homework tailored to their needs, including high-quality personalized audio recordings. With this homework, students can practice reading, writing, and listening together. We can choose a reference textbook if needed, but it is not required. <Attendance Policy> โ€ข No-show: No refund. โ€ข Last-minute cancellation: If you cancel within 6 hours of the lesson, 50% of the lesson fee will be charged. โ€ข If you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson, please do so directly through the italki system. There is no need to wait for my confirmation, and doing so promptly helps avoid missing the cancellation window. โ€ข In most cases, I will accept rescheduling or cancellation requests made at least 6 hours before the lesson. โ€ข Please be considerate when making changes to your schedule. Frequent last-minute changes make it difficult for other students to book available lesson times.

My mother-tongue is Korean. But I've learned English, Japanese and Chinese. So I truly understand how difficult learning languages is. I'm very positive, patient and enthusiastic. And I prepare each lesson only for A student. For example, if a student has a tendency to make mistakes using the present perfect, I usually prepare more focused lessons that he or she can repeatedly practice using the present perfect. I believe you could learn more through the mistakes that you make. And I will be there for you to correct or coach whenever you need it. You are going to be very very proud of yourself in the end. Let's have fun learning!!

From your first Hangul letter to advanced, critical discussion. Hello, I'm Eujin. What I enjoy most in teaching Korean is something beyond the language itself โ€” every learner brings their own way of thinking, their own experiences, their own way of sensing and learning. I keep learning something new from that. I majored in fine arts and media criticism. I've also had the privilege of learning English, Mandarin, Thai, and Sign Language while moving between China and Thailand. Those experiences pushed me to sit with the friction between a hunger for critical conversation and discourse, and the limits of whatever language I was learning at the time. That struggle and friction is what I teach from. Whether you're starting from your very first Hangul letter or already deep into Korean, the work is the same: we build your Korean out of your own life โ€” your work, your routines, the things you actually need to say โ€” and, as you go further, use a critical question, a text, or an image as a trigger to discuss society, art, industry, and your own field. So however far along you are, I'll meet you as someone already thinking and critiquing your way through an entirely new language system.

    Learning Korean

    Hyobin is an amazing teacher! She's very diligent with preparing material for me to learn with, and she puts in a time and effort into personalizing the material for me. Today we went over some journal entries that I wrote and Hyobin helped me understand where my Korean could be improved. I read the journal entry out loud and Hyobin very patiently listened to where my pronunciation could be improved. We also went and rewrote parts of the journal entry and she thoroughly explained the logic behind each fix to help me avoid making the same mistake in the future. Importantly, Hyobin is not a nitpicker! I felt like all the points she brought up were very major issues and it didn't feel like she was digging around making me feel bad about smaller mistakes. 10/10 would recommend Hyobin as a tutor.

    I've had a few classes with Bit ์„ ์ƒ๋‹˜ now and can confidently say that she's a Korean tutor I would recommend to others. She always comes prepared to class with questions and new material. I like the way she structures the class with some conversation and review in the beginning, followed by the next lesson with new grammar and vocabulary. She also helpfully adapts to your level and interests. Most importantly, I have a lot of fun during our lessons, which I think is important when learning a new language.

  • Rachel

    Learning Korean

    Iโ€™ve been doing the free conversation classes with Tina for 8 months now and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their Korean! When I started, I had already been studying Korean for a while but had almost no experience actually speaking the language. These classes have helped me gain confidence and improve my ability to express myself in Korean. The conversations are fun and low-pressure, and Tina is great at speaking at a level I can understand while explaining any vocab or grammar that I am unfamiliar with. She also prepares materials reviewing the new topics we discussed after each lesson. Looking forward to my next class! ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Learning Korean

    I have probably been taking lessons with ์ฑ„์€์„ฑ์ƒˆ๋‹˜ for a few months now. Her classes are structured but flexible enough to address my specific learning needs. During our lessons she would take notes on key points and new vocabs. I really like this because it allows me to easily go back and review our lessons. Another thing I like about ์ฑ„์€์„ฑ์ƒˆ๋‹˜ lesson is the homework review. When I'm trying to practice Korean by myself I don't realize all the little mistakes that I am making. But through doing homework (writing sentences) and reviewing it after, I would say I've become more aware of the common mistakes that I make. And I'm now slowly but surely correcting them. Besides, the well structured lessons, ์ฑ„์€์„ฑ์ƒˆ๋‹˜ is both patient and a fun teacher. The clear explanations and cheerful personality makes for an enjoyable lesson.

    It was such a fun and enjoyable learning experience! I loved being able to read along and work on improving my pronunciation. It really helped me pronounce words more clearly, remember new vocabulary, and feel more confident when speaking.

    Learning Korean

    I started learning Korean three years ago, and reading - especially Batchim - has always been one of my biggest challenges. With Jinny, I finally feel like it is starting to click! Jinny makes every lesson genuinely fun, and learning with her feels surprisingly easy. You can really tell that she has developed a great teaching strategy based on her experience with different students. Her approach has completely changed the way I practise reading. Instead of feeling frustrated, I actually enjoy it now, and I can already see myself getting better and more confident. What I especially love about Jinny is the way she encourages me without putting any pressure on me. She corrects my mistakes in such a clear and visual way that the explanations really stick in my mind. I donโ€™t just learn what is right or wrong - I actually understand how to do it better next time. If you want to learn Korean, especially if you struggle with reading or Batchim like I did, definitely book a lesson with Jinny

  • Jos

    Learning Korean

    I enjoy the lessons with Taejeong a lot! He is kind, patient, and approachable. His lessons keep me motivated to continue learning Korean. As I had already studied Korean, he had me take a level test before the first lesson. This helped him understand my level, and tailor the lessons to my skills and learning goals. His explanations of the Chinese character roots of words are extremely helpful. I will always remember the difference between ์š”๋ฆฌ and ์œ ๋ฆฌ, or the meaning of ๋„์„œ๊ด€ and ์„œ์  thanks to his explanations.
