Hi! My name is Heeyoung and I was born and raised in Korea. Now, I live in France with my family, where I enjoy walking in the forest with my baby boy. Because I lived outside of my home country for so long, I deeply relate to those who are going through similar experience, and I enjoy getting to know my students on a personal level. I look forward to meeting everyone who's interested in starting or continuing their journey in learning Korean.
Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching online since 2015, and although I teach all levels, I'm most experienced with beginners and pre-intermediate level.
For me, getting to know you as a student AND as a person are both important. I want to know how you learn and process things so I can match to your needs. I want to know your strengths and weaknesses so I can help you balance them. I want to know what your interests are and what’s going on in your life so you can practice what you actually want to say to other people. And this also helps me to connect to you as a person.
I will lead and guide you as a teacher but I will also be a friend that you can talk to in a comfortable setting.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are focused on everyday conversation and actually talking in class. We'll study grammar when necessary but I won't be lecturing you about it. Instead, we'll focus on using it and taking it out of your brain.
I'll correct your mistakes, but I'll also wait for you to make your own sentences however long it takes. I'll also help when you're struggling. It's okay to be shy. It's okay if you're slow. I'll help you to get better from wherever you are. But if you really want to improve, you need to make time outside class and immerse yourself in this language.
If you want to know more about what and how I teach, please read the course descriptions below.

Heeyoung 선생님 is a great teacher!
Thanks to her help and patience, I can now communicate simple messages in Korean, and read Korean characters (which was not successful for a long time without her). Among all her good qualities as a teacher, I especially appreciate her for adjusting the learning pace for me and making sure that I can use what I learned before moving on. Her grammar explanation is also very clear and easy to understand. It’s helpful that she understands the difference between Korean grammar and English grammar (and Japanese grammar) from her teaching and learning experience, and knows what Korean learners find difficult.
英語ができる日本人の方にもおすすめの先生です。

My lessons with Heeyoung are always fun and interesting. Whether it is a grammar lesson or free talking, our lessons are helpful, and I always feel comfortable speaking Korean and making mistakes 🙊 my speaking confidence has grown significantly since I started lessons with Heeyoung. The content is fun, and Heeyoung really makes an effort to get to know you and your interests so that we talk about things of interest to myself. It really feels like I’m just talking to a friend at times, making it feel even more natural and more ‘fun’ than feeling like a ‘chore’ having a lesson. 감사합니다 선생님

Heeyoung really is a great teacher. Yes she is patient, engaging, encouraging, and all the good stuff any teacher should have, but what I feel sets her apart is that she is totally genuine and down-to-earth as a person. You can tell she honestly cares about her students progress and reaching their language goals. I could feel it in her intro video, which is ultimately what led me to scheduling lessons with her and I wasn't disappointed. And neither will you be!

It's always a pleasure to meet Heeyoung each lesson. She is so kind and patient. I learned quite a lot since I started with her.
