About Me
italki teacher since Oct 29, 2021
* NO CLASS: Dec 14, 2022 - Feb 2023
I taught Korean at colleges in the U.S. for over 10 years. I want to make you freely express yourself in Korean no matter what your level.
I aim to provide a quality education to anyone who wishes to learn Korean at an affordable rate. I'm a passionate, professional, friendly, and fun Korean teacher who have experienced all levels of Korean teaching and knows how to teach Korean correctly.
Teaching Korean has been the most rewarding experience in my life and I wish to continue to pursue my passion as a Korean teacher. I don't teach full-time anymore, but I want to share my teaching experience and expertise with as many people as possible.
Me as a Teacher
The reason why I teach on italki is that I enjoy teaching Korean and conversing with students. You can learn Korean with a happy teacher with vigor, fun, responsibility, and clarity.
I provide all the class materials including ppt slides, class contents, workbooks, etc.
** Please don't choose italki classroom as your communication tool. It wouldn't let me share PowerPoint slides.
** Starting on July 1, 2022, I will stop using Zoom. Please choose either Skype or Google as your communication tool for classes after July 1.
My lessons & teaching style
I value a communicative approach to Korean, which means that I emphasize the importance of speaking. Since we are meeting 1-on-1, we can do enough practices in speaking and writing so you can immediately express yourself in Korean. If a student takes 2 lessons a week and study everyday by oneself for a year, s/he can freely communicate with Koreans in a daily situation.
Each 50-min lesson will run (roughly) as follows: workbook feedback, main contents of the given lesson (grammar, vocab, expression), practice, creating our own dialogues, next class plan and assignment.
Cancellation policy: I follow the italki policy. Please make changes, if needed, 24 hours prior to your lesson.
We finished the first book this lesson. I am so happy I found 박선생님! She’s been absolutely brilliant and helpful. She’s extremely patient, kind, knowledgeable, and personable. I highly, highly recommend her to anybody who wishes to take their learning seriously. I have learnt so much, and I am excited to learn even more in the second book!

Thank you for teaching me Korean always. Every time I take her lesson, it's fun and I can learn new things which I feel it's worth learning from her. 저는 내성적인 편이라서 아직도 선생님 앞에서 말을 잘 못해요. 그런데 선생님은 항상 친절하게 가르쳐 주셔요. (감사합니다.) 일본어도 영어도 잘하시는 선생님이라서 불편한 것은 아무것도 없어요. 日本語もできる先生なので分かりやすいです!I recommend her lessons for all people who want to learn Korean seriously.

My experience with 박선생님 has been nothing short of amazing! While the lessons are very engaging and allow you to practice your skills, I am able to go at my own pace. Rest assured, I will be taking her lessons until I am able to perfect my Korean!

Hyun is so organized, explains well, and sends me the class materials afterwards for my personal studies. She provides polite and gentle correction. Every single minute of each lesson is packed with useful material :)

Always look forward to my lessons with 박선생님! 선생님 provides a professional and fun environment for learning 한국어. Since studying with Hyun, I feel like I've steadily grown in my knowledge, as well as strengthened grammatical points I have already learned. The class materials are excellent. The textbook is well organized and allows me to not only complete speaking, reading and writing exercises, but also listening comprehension exercises as well--something that I was sorely lacking with other textbooks. Time really flies during our lessons, but each time I come away knowing new grammar, vocabulary, and overall feeling more confident in my language skills. 감사합니다!
