Just take it easy, have fun together! I'm all ears. + TOPIK1&2 Hey, I’m Javi and here to be your Korean teaching buddy. As an economics and english literature major back in university but as of now more of Netflix binge watcher, unstoppable chatter and at-least-only-at-heart world traveler, I’m excited to help you with your Korean! It’s been more than 10 years since I started to help many of my foreign friends learn Korean, not to mention the culture itself. Just talk to me, anything gibberish is okay, and even welcome, build up your confidence and just have fun together! 1.From scratch For beginners who need to start out of nothing (Alphabet to Basics of Korean) *Will give some basic rules of how to read and how to make letters and sentences. Give me as many questions as possible. I’m all ears! 2.Wanna talk For intermediates who want conversation practice *Confidence and Fluency, that’s what matters in conversation. You may make some minor grammar mistakes but just don’t care! 3.TOPIK 1&2 We start with the basic grammars and then take intensive mock tests. This is test-Korean so there're much more stuff to memorize than conversational-Korean but here I am to guide you on the right and quick path! **The hourly price is changed to $30 from this December

Discovering a teacher who truly resonates with you is no small feat. You must first understand your own desires, while the teacher seeks to catch a fleeting spark during a trial lesson. To have found Jihun among countless Korean instructors feels like a precious gift of fate. Each class seems to slip by in an instant, yet the lessons linger, unfolding over days of thoughtful reflection. Jihun’s warmth and passion as a teacher shine through every moment, filling the air with ease and joy. What could be a tedious slog through language learning becomes, with Jihun, a vibrant and delightful journey. I find myself wondering how far this path might take me—and I’m thrilled to see where we’ll go together.

I tried learning Korean from few other tutors and even though I learned sentences and words I didn't quite understand what I'm talking about or how to make a sentence that is not just memorised. That often made me feel overwhelmed. With Jihun Kim I finnaly understood how to make a sentence in a just a few lessons. Now all memorised things make so much more sense. Jihun will teach you Korean in proper order and it will be easy to understand. I'm very glad I found him and will for sure stick with him till I'm fluent. Many thanks to him :)

I'm really glad to have him as part of my Korean learning journey. Learning a new language means making a lot of mistakes, but his patience always makes me feel safe and comfortable. Even when I forget vocabulary or struggle with pronunciation, he gently corrects me and takes the time to explain things until I truly understand. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students' progress. I really appreciate his dedication, and I'm excited to see how much further I can take my Korean with his guidance. I'm sure many students will enjoy his teaching style as much as I do. 😊

I had the pleasure of attending one more exceptional Korean class and every single class I've been impressed by Javi’s teaching style and expertise. His passion for the Korean language and his dedication to ensuring I felt engaged and empowered were clear (Also he is a funnier guy). The lessons have been brilliantly structured, making even complex grammar points easy to grasp, and there was a perfect balance between theory and practice. The professor’s patience, dynamic use of multimedia, and insightful cultural explanations made every class interactive and enjoyable. Their detailed feedback and commitment to my progress were invaluable, creating a learning environment that was both motivating and highly effective. I feel more confident in my Korean skills and highly recommend this class to anyone seeking an outstanding learning experience.

Javi is very good at making conversation. From one kernel, he can generate a full hour of discussion with the right balance of challenge and positive reinforcement. He’s good at asking interesting questions that build off of the previous discussion and that I’m mostly capable of answering at my level. As I stretch to say new things, I naturally learn and pick up new words that are memorable because they relate to the topic of discussion.
