Hi, my name is Sarah, and I’m a Korean tutor on italki. I am a Korean native speaker and I’ve lived in Seoul, Ulsan, and Incheon.

I just had my first ever Korean lesson with Sarah 선생님 and it was so much fun! She’s super nice and bubbly, which made me feel really comfortable right away. I liked how she gently corrected my mistakes without making me feel nervous, and she explained everything really clearly. I also loved that she could explain things in both Japanese and English, which helped me really understand new terms and concepts. I'm looking forward to future classes with her!

The lesson with Sarah was wonderful! She is always very well prepared, encouraging, supportive, empathetic, and lots of fun to talk to! She is very wise and can speak English very well, especially when I need something explained in detail, although she only speaks English as a last resort, which I think is absolutely awesome about her! She is dedicated and hard working and I am very grateful to have found a teacher like her! Thank you Sarah!
