Hi! I'm Joon, a certified Korean tutor with 7+ years of experience and over 1,200 hours teaching online. My lessons focus on practical speaking skills rather than grammar rules, helping you build sentences easily and speak Korean naturally.
Having learned languages like English, Turkish, and Spanish myself, I understand the struggles learners face. I design lessons that are intuitive, stress-free, and engaging.
I also develop interactive materials such as visual slides, real-life audio, and structured exercises, providing review slides and practice audio after every session. My goal is making Korean fun, easy to learn, and practical for real conversations.Me as a Teacher
I've taught students of all levels through 1:1 online lessons and language exchange groups, helping them build confidence in everyday conversations.
My lessons emphasize interaction. Instead of traditional, text-heavy methods, I use visual slides I designed myself, along with audio recordings, to keep students engaged and motivated.
I’m always thinking about how to make learning Korean fun, immersive, and practical. I regularly look for new ways to motivate students, designing lessons that are structured yet flexible, ensuring steady progress without boredom.
✅ If you don't see a time slot that works for you, feel free to message me and I’ll be happy to help! My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is all about speaking confidently from the start. Using pattern-based learning, students quickly build sentences like “커피 마셔요” (I drink coffee) and gradually expand them into longer sentences.
I use a method where learners master basic sentence patterns first and then expand them gradually by swapping words and adding new details.
Key features of my lessons:
✔ Speak from day one with simple, practical phrases.
✔ Use pattern-based learning for natural sentence building.
✔ Interactive materials: visual slides, audio practice.
✔ Customized for your goals—daily conversation, travelMy teaching material

Joon is so creative when it comes to planning his lessons for us. He knows we are traveling soon and is tailoring his lessons for traveling right now. Still challenging though but it is worth it. We highly recommend him to you.

Joon’s use of videos to teach topics is so engaging! We are able to connect the seeing, hearing, writing and speaking to aid our comprehension and retention. 100% recommend.

We played a great geography game today. It was a lot of fun trying to give directions and describe things in Korean. Very fun and a good challenge.

Another excellent lesson today! We focused on using language descriptors, object counters, and creating a recipe. Challenging to be sure but also excellent reinforcement and enrichment. Could not be happier.
