Hello! I'm Angela, a Korean tutor based in Korea.
I specialize in helping intermediate learners speak more natural Korean.
Many students already know grammar but still feel that their Korean sounds “textbook-like.” My lessons focus on helping you sound more natural and confident in real conversations.
In our lessons we will:
• Practice natural Korean conversation
• Expand your vocabulary and expressions
• Correct unnatural grammar and pronunciation
• Learn how Koreans actually speak in daily life
This class is best for learners who already know basic Korean and want to improve their speaking.
I teach Standard Seoul Korean, so you can learn the most natural and widely used expressions.
Currently, I'm teaching Korean to foreign students at Hola Korean Academy near Gang-nam station.
I’m a patient and encouraging teacher who’s always happy to adjust lessons to fit your needs.
I’m continuously growing as a teacher and love helping students gain confidence in speaking.
We can focus on;
-useful words & grammar
-pronunciation
-Real Korean expressions

Great and kind teacher.
The teacher explained the Korean numbers to me many times.
The numbers are difficult to read, but I was able to understand the teacher's pronunciation.
