About Me
italki teacher since Apr 23, 2019
InterestsReadingWritingBusiness & Finance
Hello, My name is Sungjin Lee.
I live in Seoul.
I studied sociology, which gave me lots of general backgrounds to be able to talk.
I studied English in Ireland so I can teach Korean in English.
I have lots of interest so we can talk easily from funny things to serious things.
Me as a Teacher
I'm a patient teacher. while I was teaching Korean, I helped my students to speak more.
For me, Speaking is the most important thing in learning a language.
As your Korean level is getting better, You might feel that " I know Korean vocabulary, grammar but still am not satisfied with speaking in Korean.
As an English learner, I have been there too. To get over this, I tried to meet native speakers or tutoring in Italki.
As a tutor, I will make you speak a lot in Korean.
My lessons & teaching style
Basically, This is tutoring, So I would like to help to meet your goal.
So I just check your Korean level at first. Let's make some plan to improve your Korean.
But, If you want to learn Korean without your own plan, I have my own plan too.
I have around 30 topics to discuss with students. As I told you in my video, I will ask some questions related to topics.
I will teach you with your own answer, It will make much easier to remember and memorize Korean grammar and vocabulary because that's what you want to say to others.

I am enjoying the classes with teacher Sungjin! At first I was somewhat embarrassed and shy because my Korean conversation skills are quite poor right now, but teacher shows patience and secretly challenges me through the exercises. Thank you for your patience and kindness, and I hope you can be my teacher for a long time.

Teacher Sungjin's approach is to view the Korean language as Koreans speak it. I feel it is a good balance between academic learning and colloquial learning. Although I am lacking, I feel confident I can learn more with teacher Sungjin. Thank you!
