Hi! 👋 I’m David, a Korean language teacher with over 10 years of experience helping students from all over the world 🌍.

Since earning my teaching license in 2015, I’ve taught students aged 5 to 60 from countries like Cambodia, Russia, and many more. Many of my students have successfully passed TOPIK and entered prestigious Korean universities 🎓.

I am truly thankful to have a teacher like David who encourages me to learn a new language. It's tough learning a new language and a whole new culture, but it defiantly helps when you have someone cheering you on and is super nice.
David reviews what was previously learned and continues to add additional material making every class new and exciting. I can truly say I have both a new friend and a teacher that cares about my journey to becoming fluent!!

David makes lessons fun, so it's easier to remember words and grammar. Very easy going learning style with many examples, such as videos to give a realistic views on the subject that you're currently learning about. I believe I'm picking up on more words when I watch k-dramas, which I've never really thought I'd be able to do! David helps me better pronounce Korean words and gives examples on how to use them in a sentence. Overall I've had such a great experience learning Korean!!!
I'm becoming more confident with listening and interpreting what is being said. I am excited for each class I have with David due to the overwhelming amount of positivity, professionalism, and the fact that I know I'm guaranteed to learn something new and apply older subjects to carry on a sentence.
Best 선생님! 감사합니다!

I've had a couple of lessons with David and they've all been great!!! I'm not just learning the meaning behind words but how to use them in sentences for everyday life. Truly happy with this experience! :]
