🌟 I just hit 2.5x lesson growth in my first month, so I'm celebrating with a limited-time price drop 🎉 안녕하세요, 15년 경력의 MK입니다. 🇰🇷 언어를 배우고 싶다면 제가 도와드릴게요. 📜 25개국 생활과 여행 경험으로 실용적인 세계 속 언어로 가르칩니다. 프랑스어·독일어로도 가능하니 초보자도 편하게 시작하세요! 또한 역사나 문화를 깊이 이해하려는 분들께 추천합니다 (면접 준비, 비즈니스 언어 가능). If you need to message me first, let me know your current level and what kind of class style you’re looking for. 🎯Me as a Teacher
I’ve been teaching since 2007—Korean, English, and History—for over 15 years. From SAT prep to natural conversation, I’ve worked with learners from all walks of life. My students have included not only general learners, but also North Korean defectors, migrant workers, marriage immigrants, refugees, and people with disabilities. And yes—if you're 13 or 73, you're welcome in my class. 👶👵 I know speaking naturally isn’t easy, especially from a second language. so I help you speak with essential structure and real expressions—quickly and fluently. 💪 My lessons & teaching style
Chill vibe, clear focus. You choose the topic—interviews, job talk, life sharing, or reading—and I’ll shape the class to match your pace and needs. I offer fully customized lessons, and I can teach Korean using English, French, or German to help you understand more clearly. Even if you're a beginner or intermediate learner, I’ll help you build up to speaking freely, naturally in real conversations. 💬 I’ll guide you with real vocabulary, natural expressions, simple but essential grammar, and honest feedback. I also provide real-life examples so you can review easily and stay confident. 💡My teaching material

MK strikes the perfect balance between professional guidance and warm encouragement. She makes complex topics, like interview prep or workplace expressions, easy to follow. Her calm and clear teaching style builds real confidence, making you feel ready to speak from day one. Highly recommended if you want practical Korean you can actually use!
