안녕하세요, 김성수 입니다. 저는 여러분에게 한국어를 가르쳐 드리고 싶습니다.  Hi, my name is Seongsoo, and I teach Korean. 저는 한국에서 태아나고 자랐습니다. 미국에서 7년 정도 공부하고 한국으로 돌아와서 지금은 서울에 살고 있습니다. I was born and raised in South Korea. I studied in the United States for 7 years. And now I am back in Korea and living in Seoul, Korea. 
 I speak Korean, English, and Japanese. Korean is my mother tongue, and I use standard Korean. Also, I speak English and Japanese. Regarding Japanese, I can just carry on a general conversation.まだ私の日本語が上手じゃないけれど日本語で話すのが面白くて簡単な会話ができます。Although my Japanese is currently not that good, I enjoy talking and having some conversations in Japanese.

I am incredibly grateful for Kim 선생님's exceptional patience and calm demeanor. He creates a welcoming and comfortable environment that makes it very easy for students to talk and express their thoughts. Kim 선생님 always gives you plenty of opportunities to speak during lessons, ensuring ample practice in conversation. Additionally, Kim 선생님 goes above and beyond by typing out notes on new vocabularies and sentences covered during class and sending them back to you afterward. These personalized notes are invaluable for my review and practice, making it much easier to remember and apply what I've learned. I highly recommend Kim 선생님 to anyone looking to improve their language skills!

I have learned so much and so quickly during my lessons with Seongsoo. He gives wonderful explanations, relevant information about the language and culture, and is so supportive of my learning. I highly recommend this class to beginners especially. I look forward to every lesson and can feel my progress already even though we just started!! Thank you!

Kim 선생님 is a great teacher! He's patient in answering questions and tailors lessons to be engaging based on the student's preference. Though my pronunciation isn't good, Kim 선생님 puts in a lot of effort to try to understand and converse with me, which helps build my confidence in speaking. Kim 선생님's class is always a good time!

What a nice teacher!!! I'll definitely book more lessons. Like I saw the others reviews, he's really calm, easygoing and has patience with me mixing japanese along korean words 😅😅 If you're curious, book a lesson 🙏🏻

Seongsoo has been a very understanding and helpful teacher. Helping me fix my numerous mistakes and teaching me many new things. He has a very calm demeanor that will make you feel at east. He has improved my knowledge of the language substantially and I have been thoroughly enjoying my lessons with him. I would recommend him if you want to learn or improve your Korean.
