Another ver nice lesson with Donggyu. You can see that he is very organised and yet he adapts the lesson to you constantly. In this lesson, he could see that I already had some knowledge about the topic, so he went off the script to push it a bit further. It was really enjoyable and challenging as a student. He is a calm and patient teacher who encourages you to speak and participate. He will, of course, correct you but in such a pedagogical and kind way. I am on the autism spectrum and have ADHD so it can be difficult for me to find people I get along with or that knows how to deal with me but Donggyu is doing an excellent job. He figured me out quite quickly. I can't wait for the next lesson.

Donggyu is hands down one of the BEST teachers on italki. 👍🏼 What I deeply appreciate about my lessons with him is that he explains things in a calm way. Never have I ever felt embarrassed to say any sentence in Korean, even though I make lots of mistakes. It is truly rare to find a teacher who cares about you and about your progress and Donggyu certainly is that gem. 💎 빤짝빤짝 ✨

Donggyu is an excellent tutor and will definitely satisfy your learning needs. Classes are really enjoyable and engaging, and most importantly, modelled to fit my pace of studying. Donggyu offers numerous tasks to facilitate memorising new phrases and all the explanations are clear and easy to understand. The tutoring is always carried out in an amiable and supportive atmosphere. Truly recommend.

Donggyu is an excellent teacher! Not only do I learn from him as a student, but I’ve also learned how to become a better teacher myself (I’m also a language teacher on italki). He listens very carefully to your requests and adapts to your needs. It’s clear that he dedicates so much time and effort to his students. 고마워요, 동규 씨! 🤗
