About Me
italki teacher since Dec 27, 2021InterestsGamingMusicTravelFoodFilms & TV Series
It’s hard to reach 100 lessons with one teacher,
but 10 students have done it with me — they find me comfortable to learn with.
Over the years, helping my students speak Korean just in a few months,
I realized that traditional education was teaching cruelly wrong.
and billions of students are wasting their time.
After spending my life learning many languages, I finally found the "key"!
I’ve mostly taught students from the States, and my lessons are optimized to help them.
You might get a glimpse of it through the many reviews from my students,
and the “Me as a Teacher” section of my profile.
Are you ready for your miracle?Me as a Teacher
🔴 FOR YOUR MIRACLE!
Learning a language is more like riding a bicycle or swimming.
It’s not something to “study” like math or science. You don't need the textbook.
To reach your goals, make many mistakes rather than pursuing perfection.
Focus more on topics we usually talk about than on memorizing vocabs and studying grammar.
In my lessons, you will speak Korean rather than “study” it.
I’m a teacher, but “conversation designer” would be a better word for me.
All of my students begin speaking from a very early stage.
They learn speaking strategies and speak even with limited vocabulary and grammar.
They laugh, enjoy themselves, and feel healed in lessons fully tailored to their own styles! My lessons & teaching style

Learning with John has been such an absolute pleasure. He makes every lesson fun and exciting. I've been learning with him for a year and I only grow more and more excited for what I'll be learning next. John takes the time to create lessons based around the individual and taking classes with him is like talking with a great friend. I would recommend him to everyone.

This was my very first lesson on iTalki. John is an amazing teacher and we were able to cover a lot of ground in the trial lesson. What stands out to me is that the lessons are very interactive, which makes them fun and easier to recal things. I will be definitively taking more lessons with him. Thank you John!
