Hello, everyone! My name is Young. I was born and raised in Seoul, so I speak standard Korean and can teach it to you.
I love learning languages, traveling, and exploring different cultures. Along with teaching Korean, I’m excited to share Korean culture with you.
I used to work as a school guidance counselor(teacher) but now I teach Korean.

I simply cannot stop raving on how amazing Teacher Young's lessons are. She is always patient and attentive. Not only that, she would also share tips on how to pronunce certain Korean words or phrases naturally. Additionally, she would also share the origin of such phrases!

At this point, I have had over 10 lessons with Young, and they have all been very enjoyable. She is highly consistent, always energetic, and makes me feel comfortable. She ensures that I understand the material we are practicing and provides plenty of feedback, especially regarding homework. I'm glad I found Young as a teacher. Thank you so much, 선생님~

I really enjoy our structured lessons with a knowledgeable native-speaking teacher! I learn a lot during the lessons and review what I've already covered. The teacher also focuses on the areas of concern I mentioned before class and gives me exercises to work on!
수업들을 정말 좋아하는데 열심히 공부하고 싶어요.

Today was my first lesson with Young and I am already about to book my second class.
She was well prepared for the class using a range of materials from a textbook to power points that she had created herself. She started the class with a positive and welcoming presence so that there was no pressure. She went over why I wanted to learn Korean and my aims.
She uses a CLT (Communicative Language Teaching) method which allows for oral drilling of vocabulary and grammar. This is done through tasks in the textbook and Power Point.
She is very knowledgeable and patient. At no point did I feel pressured like I would do in a normal class. She is also very creative with questions she asks. This allows the vocabulary and grammar to really be remembered easily.
You will leave the class feeling like you have made progress and eager to learn more. You will look forward to the next lesson. It's like a Korean Drama episode ending on a cliffhanger and you have to wait 1 week for the next class

I have been taking lessons with Young to learn professional mental health language to boost my Korean-speaking proficiency at work. I've been impressed by Young's tailored lessons to fit my specific areas of interest, despite how highly specialized it is. She is also warm, patient, and committed as an instructor. I started by trialing single lessons and have now purchased a package deal to secure the price of lessons. I recommend Young for immediate Korean language growth through personalized lessons!
