About Me
italki teacher since Oct 31, 2025InterestsWritingMusicHistoryEnvironment & NatureReading
I’ve taught English for 8 years, which sparked my interest in the differences between English and Korean. Living in Korea, I’ve met many foreign friends online and helped them improve their Korean, so I understand what it takes to learn a new language.
I love building streaks and habits—I’ve kept a diary over 10 years, used Duolingo 800+ days, 말해보카 600+ days, and Anki 120+ days. These experiences show how powerful consistent practice can be.
I’m also a singer-songwriter who enjoys expressing life through writing and music. I prefer a challenging life to an easy one and bring this spirit to teaching, encouraging students to embrace challenges, stay consistent, and enjoy learning Korean.Me as a Teacher
I teach Korean step by step depending on your level:
📕 Absolute beginners: Learn Hangul, basic pronunciation, and simple greetings.
📙 Beginners: Practice everyday conversations, basic grammar (particles, tenses), and short writing like daily routines.
📗 Intermediate learners: Focus on natural expressions, different speech levels, and real-life content like news, dramas, and YouTube.
📘 Advanced learners: Discuss complex topics and current events, and learn idioms and cultural expressions to speak Korean naturally. My lessons & teaching style
✏️ I teach classes in English as well as in Korean.
✏️ I make classes interactive, encouraging students to actively participate and express themselves confidently.
✏️ I help students build consistent learning habits and reach small daily goals that lead to steady progress.
✏️ I connect classes to students’ real-life goals, using practical examples to make Korean meaningful and useful.
✏️ I create a friendly, supportive environment where students feel confident, motivated, and excited to learn.
