Hello! 同学们好! Hola! Bonjour! Hallo!
I’m a Sino-Korean specialist and multilingual coach, helping French, Spanish, Chinese, and German speakers master Korean naturally. With over 15 years of teaching experience, I bridge languages and cultures—because fluency is not just vocabulary, but how you think and connect.
Love history or travel? I weave your interests into structured, personalized lessons. Whether you’re 40+ restarting or a teen exploring Hangul, I adapt to your pace. Human insight still matters—let’s learn like people, not robots.
(P.S. Ask me about Hanja roots or K-drama slang.)

Me as a Teacher
I believe language is a living bridge between people. As a teacher, I help students cross that bridge with confidence, insight, and authenticity.
With experience in Chinese and English education, I offer a unique perspective on how different cultures think, speak, and connect.
In today’s AI-driven environment, learners still need context, nuance, motivation, and guided practice—areas where human guidance is irreplaceable. I help students move beyond AI translation and rote memorization toward natural expression and true human connection.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are immersive, intuitive, and human-centered. I help learners experience Korean as a living culture.
I focus on:
• Cultural insight: Exploring values, social cues, and ways of thinking that AI cannot convey.
• Emotional nuance: Reading and expressing feelings through tone, gesture, and context.
• Practical communication: Practicing natural speech, eye contact, and spontaneous conversation.
• Beyond AI: Navigating interactions with empathy, judgment, and human timing.
My teaching helps you use Korean confidently in real life.

He was very enthusiastic during the lesson and gave just the right amount of encouragement and correction. His flexible teaching style helped me with my reading goals using my own materials.

Wonderful teacher. Explains well and makes learning fun. He can also use clever examples from many languages, which is very handy if you have a familiarity with French, Chinese, Japanese, German, etc.
