안녕하세요, 세희샘입니다. 만나서 반가워요! 저는 외국어, 음악, 여행을 좋아해요. 새로운 사람들과 이야기 나누고, 서로의 문화를 알아가는 걸 즐깁니다. 편안하고 따뜻한 분위기에서, 학생들과 자연스럽게 소통하며 배우는 시간이 되었으면 해요. Hi! I'm Teacher Sehee — so nice to meet you! I love languages, music, and traveling. I enjoy connecting with people from different cultures and sharing stories together. In my classes, I hope to create a warm and welcoming space where we can learn and grow through conversation. 한국어와 영어를 15년 넘게 가르쳐 왔어요. 서울대학교 한국어 교원 양성과정을 수료했고, 한국어 교원 자격증도 가지고 있습니다. 대학교에서 오랫동안 영어를 가르쳤고, 지금도 수업을 하며 늘 배우고 있어요. 저는 ‘함께 배워나가는’ 선생님이고 싶어요. 학생 한 사람 한 사람의 속도와 스타일을 존중하며 수업을 준비합니다. I’ve been teaching Korean and English for over 15 years. I completed the Korean Language Teacher Training Program at Seoul National University and hold a Korean language teaching certificate. I also taught English at a university in Korea for many years, and I continue to grow as both a teacher and a learner. I believe that teaching is not just about giving knowledge, but about learning together — with each student’s pace and style in mind. 수업은 학생 관심사와 목표에 맞게 1:1로 준비해요. 이야기로 자연스럽게 말하기 연습하고, 필요하면 문법과 어휘도 쉽게 설명해 드립니다. K-pop 가사, 이야기, 실생활 표현을 활용해 재미있고 자연스러운 한국어를 배울 수 있어요. 수업은 주로 한국어로 진행하지만, 영어 설명도 가능합니다. 편안한 분위기에서 나만의 한국어 수업을 시작하고 싶다면, 체험 수업에서 만나 이야기해요! 😊 My lessons are just for you—focused on what you like and what you want to achieve. We’ll practice speaking naturally using stories, and I’ll break down grammar or vocab in an easy way whenever you want. I love using K-pop lyrics, short sto...

I've taken classes with Sehee for over a year now, and I couldn't recommend her more. Sehee is charismatic and engaging, so we never run out of things to talk about. Her biggest strength is how well she can explain new words, grammar points and nuanced differences on the spot. I also appreciate how flexible she is with her lessons; I go through periods where I'm highly motivated and want highly structured lessons with homework, and I also go through periods where I merely want to have casual lessons to maintain my current level. As a somewhat high-level Korean learner, I greatly appreciate that she conducts the lesson entirely in Korean and never switches to English. (That being said, I know she speaks English well and is more than able to mix in English to adapt to each student's level.) If you want a flexible and knowledgable Korean teacher, you should definitely give a lesson with Sehee a try!

I really like my teacher. She is super nice, and whenever I have questions, she is always there to answer them. I love the topics we learn in class. I’m still not great at everything, but out of all the teachers I’ve had, she has been one of the most patient with me.

세희선생님 provides structure so that you have a path to follow, and offers a lot of patience and space for you take time to speak and think about what you want to say. I had a good first lesson and I'm excited to book more. Thank you! :)

I've been taking lessons with 새희샘 for a month now and I couldn't be happier with them. 새희샘 is an understanding and patient teacher, and I have so much fun during our class and leave learning so many new things from vocabulary, grammar, and facts about Korea and the language. I also appreciate the audios she records for us to practice listening. I felt I wasn't making progress in my speaking and listening, but after a couple of lessons with 새희샘 I feel more confident to speak, and I can't wait to make more progress!
