👋 Hi, I’m Sojung.
Are you tired of sounding like a textbook? Do you want to express your own thoughts in Korean, but feel stuck translating in your head?
I am here to help you bridge that gap. As an INFJ, I am naturally patient, observant, and deeply interested in what you want to say. With over 1,500 lessons taught, I don’t just teach you words; I help you find your voice in Korean.
Whether you are a K-pop fan wanting to understand lyrics without subtitles, a professional working with Korean clients, or a student preparing for TOPIK, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can make mistakes and grow.Me as a Teacher
💡 Why My Lessons Are Worth Your Investment
Many tutors focus on speed. I focus on accuracy and nuance. I don't believe in rushing through a curriculum just to say we finished it.
✅ Correction, Not Just Translation When you make a sentence, I don’t just give you a "better" Korean sentence.
✅ Context-Based Listening (Crucial for Real Life) Real Korean speakers don't pronounce every single syllable perfectly.
✅ Structured yet Flexible I customize materials based on your interests.
💬 Specialized Themes
🗣️ Real-Life Conversation: Learn the "alive" Korean that isn't in textbooks.
📝 Writing & Journaling: I provide detailed feedback on your diary entries My lessons & teaching style
🚀 Ready to Speak with Confidence?
My students often say they finally stopped "translating from English" and started "thinking in Korean."
- "She stops me from thinking from a English Point Of View."
- "She creates a safe environment for introverts."
- "Her feedback is detailed, personalized, and fixes my weak spots."
Learning a language is a marathon, not a sprint. If you are looking for a quick fix, I might not be the right tutor. But if you are looking for a reliable partner who will meticulously guide you to fluency and accuracy, I am the best choice for you.
