Fluent in Korean, English & Chinese / 8 years of teaching experience / Fun, Customized Lessons with a Native Korean Teacher from Seoul!
Hi! I’m Sami, your friendly and passionate Korean teacher from Seoul, South Korea.
I love helping students explore Korean language and culture — whether you're into K-pop, K-dramas, Korean food, or just curious about everyday life in Korea!
I speak Korean, English, and Chinese, so you can always feel understood and supported in my class.
I’ve lived and worked in both Korea and China, and I love meeting people from around the world.
If you ever visit Seoul, I’d be happy to be your Korean guide in real life!Me as a Teacher
My teaching journey began in the HRD department of a Korean company, where I designed training programs to help employees learn and grow.
That experience built my foundation as an educator.
Later, I moved to China and spent 11 amazing years teaching Korean to both children and adults who were passionate about Korean culture.
After returning to Korea, I taught Chinese at an elementary school — so I truly understand the challenges and joys of language learning from both sides. My lessons & teaching style
Korean for Beginners
Conversational Korean
TOPIK
Intensive Korean
Business Korean
Korean Literature
Korean for Children
My lessons are always customized to your goals, level, and interests.
Before we begin, I take time to learn about you — what you want to achieve, and how you learn best.
Whether you're preparing for the TOPIK exam, learning travel phrases, exploring K-drama dialogues, or working on daily conversation, I’ll create a short- or long-term plan just for you.
We can focus on pronunciation, grammar, speaking, listening, reading, writing, or even academic writing and homework help.
You’ll always feel supported — and never judged — in my class.My teaching material
