5 years of experience as a Korean language school teacher! I’ll help you speak comfortably! 제가 미국에 와서 생활하며 느낀 점이 있어요. 언어를 배우려면 많이 듣고, 따라하고, 문장을 스스로 만들어보는 게 젤 중요하다는 점이예요. 언어는 긴장된 분위기에서는 잘 늘지 않아요. 말이 잘 안나오면 기다려 드릴께요. (물론 중간중간 고쳐드릴수 있구요.) 이해가 안되면 여러번 말해드릴께요. I’ve realized something from living in the U.S.: the best way to learn a language is to listen a lot, repeat, and try making sentences on your own. Language skills don’t improve well in a tense or stressful environment. If you have trouble speaking, I’ll give you time to find the words. (Of course, I can also help correct you along the way.) And if you don’t understand something, I’ll explain it as many times as needed.

(Please see "About Me" section) My native language is Korean and I learned English as I live in the US. Learning a language is not just about knowing how to read, write or speak, but to embrace the culture and the history. I think of it as a long journey or a marathon, but while having lots of fun along the way. Just as a journey or a marathon has a destination and a finish line, we do need consistency and endurance as well as short and long-term goals. Everyone is unique - that makes this journey or marathon interesting!

A friendly, fun Korean teacher in Seattle Hi, I am Hannah. My Korean name is Hye-Rin. I grew up and studied in South Korea for most of my life. I moved to Seattle in 2022. I like hiking and exploring nature, and meeting new people. One of my biggest interests is to learn languages and other cultures. I'd like to learn Spanish, Chinese, and other languages! As a bilingual speaker, I know learning can be challenging from the start, just like you! To me, the most important thing in learning a language is pronunciation. Korean has a unique sound system. I can give you easy, clear guidance how to pronounce like a native Korean using International Phonetic Alphabet and materials. Also, I would like to ask about your proficiency and goals for all subjects(writing, reading, listening, and speaking) and customize the study plan according to your preferred time frame. I have taught students with a wide range of levels. I would love to discuss your Korean language goals and everything! The session & teaching style depend on you. Before the class, I would like to talk about our plan for the sessions out asking your preferred studying material, time frames, and targeted subjects such as speaking or reading. I can pick the best textbook to achieve your goal, or I can share the dialogues or materials in advance of the class. If you want to test your vocabulary out, I can give you the flashcards and quiz during the sessions.

Certified Korean teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience My majors are English Language and Korean as a foreign language. I was fascinated to teach what I know to other people while I was an English teacher in Korea for four years and I learned how to pour love to my students by spending quality time. Moreover, teaching Korean at the university in the USA made me feel more proud of what I am doing as a native speaker. As a teacher, I consider communication as well as knowledge as the top priority to know what students are struggling with and help with it properly. I can be your friend-like teacher!

    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 선생님 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

    I’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! 😊

    I have probably been taking lessons with 채은성새님 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 채은성새님 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, 채은성새님 is both patient and a fun teacher. The clear explanations and cheerful personality makes for an enjoyable lesson.

    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 don’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 요리 and 유리, or the meaning of 도서관 and 서점 thanks to his explanations.
