Ara is an AMAZING teacher! She is very warm and friendly, which creates a fantastic atmosphere in her classes. It allows you to relax, settle down and in turn better able to learn. Not to mention she is very patient even towards an absolute beginner like myself.
In addition, she also intuitively knows what the learner needs to focus on, and will even adjust the session as such.
Her classes are a lot of fun and immensely helpful. I always always look forward to it!
감사합니다 아라선생님!

Ara is a great teacher, always very patient and kind. I think she adapts well to beginners wich was very nice to me. I never felt stressed and I'm always looking forward the next lesson. She provides well-crafted materials and the explanations are always so clear. I gained a lot of confidence throughout the lessons I've been taking. I would definetely recommend to take lessons with Ara whatever your level is. It's really worth it.

I did the trial lesson with Ara and it was amazing, I was not feeling very confident and it was a little stressful, but it was so clear and easy to understand. I feel more confident and it really gives me a lot of motivation to keep studying Korean.
