"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 수업을 열심히 준비하시고 설명을 정말 잘해 주세요. 영어로도 설명해 주셔서 이해하는 데 도움이 많이 됐어요. 친절하시고 인내심 있게 가르쳐 주셔서 편하게 수업을 들을 수 있었어요.

Although my English isn’t very good and it’s sometimes a bit difficult for me to communicate, my teacher carefully corrected my Korean pronunciation. I really appreciate it. Thank you very much.

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

First time speaking a little Korean and I was well impressed with the lesson. Hyun Hee선생님 gave me hope in speaking the language and eventhough I jumped in blindly, I wasn't afraid to swim through the unknown water of the Korean language 😁❤️

A very good teacher!!! The pronunciation is very clear. Even if I don't know Korean at all, I am very patient and teach very well. Totally recommended!
