Me as a Teacher
✅ Your Goal is My Priority!
Every student has a different reason for learning Korean. I don't just follow a generic plan; I design lessons that truly fit your personal goals.
I can help you if you want to:
• Watch K-dramas and YouTube without subtitles.
• Speak comfortably with Korean friends.
• Prepare for a working holiday or university in Korea.
• Travel confidently with essential expressions.
🔜 What to Expect
Drawing from my experience learning languages, I provide:
• Clear Pronunciation: Kind corrections that help you sound natural.
• Relaxed Structure: A stable rhythm that matches your pace.
• Cultural Context: Explanations that consider your native language and background.
My lessons & teaching style
✨ Curriculums by Level
• Beginner (A0–A2): Hangul, basic sentences, and everyday expressions. Even if you are a complete beginner, I guide you step-by-step so you can follow naturally.
• Intermediate/Advanced (B1–C1): Real conversation, topic-based speaking, and organizing thoughts in Korean to sound like a native.
📚 Lesson Style
Materials: We use textbooks, role-plays, news, and YouTube.
Method: We practice speaking immediately after learning grammar.
Feedback: detailed and practical.
I will be your supportive partner to help you speak with confidence!

Minjae is such a wonderful teacher, and a lovely, delightful person!! I did a few weeks before a trip to Korea, and WOW, am I prepped!! Soooo many situations, and they were easy to switch out with all the vocab, and you get it all sent to you!! I did have experience with the language before, but ooooh my, there was so much I needed to know and thought I knew but I didn't!! But you never feel dumb because she's such a kind and patient teacher!! I was inspired after every lesson, I'm going to say all these, use these words instead, YESSssssss!!! 저는 한국어를 할 수 있어요 (조금)!!!

Minjae is very professional, she is prepared and is always ready to teach. She makes learning fun & 1 hour lessons just fly by. As someone who is somewhere between beginner and intermediate level I would strongly recommend her as a teacher.

Minjae was super, super prepared and really sweet! Even though it was a trial lesson, she managed to squeeze in a lot of content, like introductions/get to know you, goals, explaining how she structures her class, and starting to explain Korean already. I am already looking forward to my next lesson with her! Thank you, Minjae!!

Minjae is an awesome tutor, she is super prepared and very knowledgeable about language learning. She also has a background in multiple languages, which is really helpful for using a variety of examples to help with understanding (at this point in my Korean learning journey, with pronunciation in particular.) Thanks for another great lesson! I appreciate all of your hard work and patience!

I'm really happy that I started taking Korean lessons with Minjae! She is super friendly and very organized in her lessons. She is casual enough that I don't feel that I have to be super serious in class, but always keeps me focused (a difficult task, honestly). I am looking forward to future lessons!!

I enjoyed the class. The teacher speaks calmly and tries to look up Korean words so I don't have to use so much English. At the end of the class, she sends a document so I can review!
