Hello! 안녕하세요? Hola! おげんきですか! Bonjour! Saluton! 你好! A large portion of my students reaches an advanced level. All my test-prep students passed college-level proficiency or higher. Most of my students/clients are adults in need of learning languages fast without sacrificing a solid foundation. Can I help you too? I am a former professor w/ 30+ yrs of experience, both in the corporate and private sectors. I have been specializing in remote learning, adult learners, business training, and teacher training. I wrote a few well-known textbooks as a ghostwriter. These days I mainly translate, interpret, teach and mentor teachers, and advise schools and businesses.

After sticking with Zeanie for 3 years, I can absolutely say that she is one of the best teachers I've ever studied under. I started out with very low confidence and was honestly scared to even speak (this is even after 2 years of taking Korean in college on my own). However, she saw that I had a high willingness to learn and was encouraged by it, personalizing each lesson for me. She mixed a variety of lesson plans hand-picked from different sources, which I totally entrusted in her hands - no questions asked. She would find simple expressions that I could use that I could re-use over and over and still sound natural. She is also super considerate/understanding of conflicts that may come up and was always willing to reschedule or refund in case of any emergencies. She didn't ask me to write this, but this is my thanks to her for all she's done. If anything, the more you put in, the more she gives back. If she sees that you're invested, she'll invest back. You just gotta stick to it.

I've been studying with Professor Yoon for about two months now and I am amazed by my progress...starting from complete scratch to actually understanding and being able to say quite a lot. It already has made a huge difference in my comfort level being in Korea. My colleagues and friends keep asking me how I am learning so fast! I highly recommend Professor Yoon (and I love her sense of humor, too!).

I've now had 10 lessons with Ms. Yoon, and after each lesson I am excited about what's next. She knows how to customize a lesson plan so that it's difficult enough to challenge me but not so difficult that I despair of improving. I had been stuck at a high novice level because Koreans understood me well enough and didn't feel the need to correct my grammar, but Ms. Yoon has been incredibly patient in correcting my frequent mistakes and in encouraging me to develop my reasoning skills in Korean. I've had several Korean teachers over the years, but Ms. Yoon is by far the best one I've had.

This was my very first trial lesson with Zean Yoon and I was very much impressed. She was very personable, had a great sense of humor, and could explain concepts very well. She is also respectful and polite, a true professional. I could definitely tell that she was passionate about teaching and that she had experience in this subject. The time for our trial lesson went by so fast, and it was really enjoyable. I look forward to doing more lessons with her and I truly believe that my Korean will improve greatly. 감사합니다!
