"Language is a bridge to connect each other"
Hi! I’m Hyunhee, but feel free to call me Joy.
I'm a native Korean speaker from South Korea, and I work as an Korean- English interpreter/ translator and Korean tutor on Italki.
As a freelance Korean-English interpreter and Korean tutor with a background in international business management, I want to teach and help to improve your Korean language skills from basic level to master. :)
"Language is a bridge to connect each other" this is my motto when I work as an tutor.I want to make a bridge to connect us using Korean on Italki.
Me as a Teacher
- I have a lot of experience communicating with global friends because I work as an interpreter.
- I think conversation is a good way to improve language skill, so I will communicate each other freely and teach expression.
- I am very patient so there is no need to feel under pressure in our lessons.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are focus on helping adults improve their basic Korean words, grammer, and conversation skills. So I can teach basic Korean words, grammer, and daily expressions.
In the case of basic class, we will study basic Korean words, grammer, pronounciations, and also daily expressions.
For the free talking class, we can talk lots of topics and events. And we can discuss daily news, our daily life, culture, etc.
If you have any question, you can ask me anytime. :)

선생님은 제가 한국어 발음을 잘못했을 때 참을성 있게 고쳐주셨어요. 그리고 일상생활에 유용한 단어들도 많이 가르쳐주셨습니다.

Hyun Hee was very kind and nice and the conversation flow naturally. If I didn't understand something she was able to make me understand. I needed to practice everyday conversation and I think this lesson was very helpful

조이 선생님은 공항이라는 환경 속에서 제게 많은 새로운 단어를 가르쳐주셨습니다. 선생님 덕분에 정확하게 발음할 수 있었어요. 오늘 선생님의 노고에 감사드립니다.

Hyunhee (Joy) was amazing! We went through some material through powerpoint, and it was very useful! We learnt some words and then went through some role-playing with the words we learnt. I can't recommend Hyunhee enough!
