I was born and raised in Korea and have more than 20 years of teaching experience, including 4 years of Korean. I studied art and earned an MFA in New York where I currently live. I’m friendly, punctual, attentive, and upbeat. I love embracing new challenges and engaging in outdoor activities such as traveling, hiking, biking, surfing, yoga, and playing guitar. If you’re interested in learning, we can chat about common topics, and we could make a great team with plenty to converse in Korean.

If you’re a beginner who is planning to travel or move to Korea and eager to learn Korean, I am the right fit for you! I’ll assist you to build a good foundation with a conversational focus and always provide you with kind suggestions for native speech, error corrections, and fluency. For intermediates, I'll help you to address any frequent mistakes, fix the underlying weaknesses, and improve pronunciation.

With my conversational approach, you’ll have an entertaining lesson with stories explaining Korean phrases, culture, and language better.

I provide:

🎈video clips and images used in creative ways for speaking practice and easy memorization

🎈Audio recap for your pronunciation

🎈Recap notes for your self study and tracking your progress

With an easy and cheerful teaching style, you can start making sentences in the first lesson! With my unique and interesting lesson, you’ll quickly pick up basic speech without trudging through boring grammar. Please message me about your specific goals and any questions.
