Hello! 👋✨
I’m a Korean language teacher who loves connecting with people and sharing culture through meaningful conversations. I majored in Korean Language Education and am currently pursuing a master’s degree in the same field.👩🏫
My lessons are structured yet lively, focusing on real-life communication to help learners use Korean with confidence. I use a variety of multimedia materials to keep classes engaging and enjoyable, and I’m always looking for ways to grow and improve as a teacher through reflection and student feedback.
If you’re looking for a friendly, supportive, and motivating learning environment, I’d be happy to learn together with you! ✨

Me as a Teacher
I’ve taught Korean conversation courses at my university’s language center,
working with students of various levels. 🌸
I also led tutoring and tandem programs for Korean Studies majors at an Italian university
and taught Korean and Hangul to Italian high school students.
These experiences helped me handle online & offline classes and create lessons
that match each student’s goals and learning style. ✨
I always aim to make classes structured, personalized, and fun for every learner!
My lessons & teaching style
I always try to create a comfortable and fun classroom where students feel confident to speak and participate. 🌿
At the same time, I keep my lessons well-organized and professional, using PPTs, textbooks, and multimedia resources to make learning more effective.
Instead of focusing only on grammar, I emphasize natural communication and practical language use that help students remember what they learn for the long term.
Each lesson is customized to fit every student’s goals and motivation,
so you can learn efficiently and enjoy every step of your Korean journey.

Doing lessons with Summer has been very helpful for me! I always come to class with a completely random topic I want to discuss and learn grammar/vocab for and she's very good at helping break it down and explain concepts to me.

Lessons with Summer is great not only for learning Korean, but also for learning Korean culture! I'd definitely recommend her to people at any level learning Korean :]

Just had another lesson with Summer and cannot recommend her enough! She's a great teacher and is always communicating to try and improve our lessons. It seems like she really works individually with her students to meet them where they are and make lessons that work for them.

These lessons have been such a good confidence booster in listening and speaking! I've probably spoken more/had to express my own thoughts more in the last 3 sessions than I have in an entire semester of classes; Summer is wonderful about letting you set your own pace for speaking and not pressuring you into speaking faster. Usually I feel like I'm getting scolded when I get something wrong in classes which makes me not comfortable trying, but in these tutoring sessions I never feel that and I feel confident trying to piece together my own thoughts even when I know what I'm saying isn't perfect.

Had my first class with Summer and she's such a great teacher! I have a bit of a non-traditional background in Korean but she was able to adjust and meet me where I am to teach me. She's very experienced with teaching and explaining, overall is just a fun and great person to talk to and learn from.
I recommend anybody who wants to learn Korean to learn from her!
