[ UK Univ. Instructor & Author of 3 Books ]
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 essays and my latest guide, "The Korean You Actually Need".
Writing is my passion. This means I can teach you more than just grammar—I help you understand the nuance, emotion, and culture behind the words.
Whether you want to fix "robotic" Korean or express deep thoughts, I will guide you with a writer's touch. Let's build your confidence together!Me as a Teacher
[ University Quality + Writer's Insight ]
My goal is simple: Learning should be inspiring.
With experience as a UK University Instructor, I know how to break down complex grammar into structured, easy steps.
💡 Why my class? As an author of 3 books, I offer a unique perspective.
No "Robot Korean": I focus on natural expressions from my latest book, "The Korean You Actually Need".
Cultural Nuance: I teach the stories and emotions behind the words, not just memorization.
I provide a supportive space where you can make mistakes and grow confidence. Let's find your "real" voice in Korean! My lessons & teaching style
[ University Quality + Exclusive Materials ]

1. Unique Custom Materials: You get access to exclusive materials unavailable elsewhere:

My YouTube Resources: Engaging videos for effective review and practice.
Custom Grammar Charts: Complex rules made simple.
2. Tailored & Effective: I adapt professional university materials to your goals, ensuring you learn accurately yet enjoyably.
3. Speaking Focus: We prioritize output. I help you use these resources to speak Korean confidently from day one.My teaching material

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.

Alison is awesome! It’s only my second lesson and I have learned so much! She provides me with materials on anything I’m interested in so I can learn between lessons.

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
