🇬🇧 UK Univ. Instructor | Author & App Creator | "The Korean You Actually Need" [ UK Univ. Instructor | Author of 3 Books | App Creator ] Hello! I am Alison Jihee. I have lived in the UK for 25+ years and currently work as a Korean Instructor at a UK university. I am a native Korean speaker fluent in Japanese and English. 📚 Why learn with an Author? I have published three books, including my latest guide, "The Korean You Actually Need". Writing is my passion—I teach you more than grammar. I help you understand the nuance, emotion, and culture behind the words, with a writer's touch. 📱 My Own Korean Learning App: I didn't just write books—I built an app. A complete leveled Korean learning system with Vocabulary Cards, Grammar, Listening & Conversation, and Quizzes. It's completely FREE for all my students. [ University Quality + Exclusive Resources ] I combine a UK university curriculum with materials I created myself: • Grammar Storybooks: Original stories that teach grammar in context. • My App & YouTube Resources: Structured practice anytime, anywhere. • Custom Grammar Charts: Complex rules made simple. No "Robot Korean": I focus on natural, real-life expressions. Cultural Nuance: I teach the stories and emotions behind the words, not just memorization. Speaking Focus: We prioritize output—using these resources to help you speak Korean confidently from day one. I provide a supportive space where you can make mistakes and grow confidence. Let's find your "real" voice in Korean!

Today's lesson was the most challenging so far but very rewarding, as I'm starting to put together everything I learned before. From the market price comparison game, I realize I've never studied the two number systems together, and that's something I need to work on. Thank you for taking the time to play the game with me!

Alison provides her own worksheets and videos to promote self-study in addition to the textbook. I've found that the supplementary work helps me progress faster than just relying on the textbook. The videos also provide me with listening practice and additional vocabulary. I really appreciate how much hard work she's putting into teaching!

I love my lessons with Alison! We work on conversation and textbook, which gives the lesson a nice balance. And she gives me lots of resources that I can study on my own between lessons.

I recently told Ms. Alison that I wanted to talk about age so I can work on my Korean numbers (outside of the textbook), and she took the time to add this extra lesson in. Thank you so much! And I really appreciate all the worksheets that explain particular points in detail with enough examples to practice with.

I have been learning with Alison for about a month now. Even though we only have 45 min of class, I always feel like I've learned a lot with how many repeated examples and exercises we do. I am also grateful for her answering all my sudden and random questions in messages when I don't understand something. Thank you!

Had a great class with Alison. She was really patient with my mistakes and questions and is clearly experienced with teaching. Guided through and explained a lot of good learning material so have a lot to self-study with before the next class. Really looking forward to future lessons
