Hi, I’m Alex Kim (London). I coach pre-intermediate/intermediate learners who understand Korean but freeze when speaking. We turn “textbook Korean” into real, natural Korean for travel, daily life, and work. ✨
🎯 Bespoke 1:1 coaching: In the first lesson, I pinpoint your blockers (hesitation, sentence breaks, word choice, pronunciation) and build a clear plan.
✅ What you get: Real-time corrections, Seoul-style everyday phrasing, pronunciation (final consonants, linking, rhythm/intonation), roleplays, and after-class notes with corrected sentences + key vocab.
🧩 Lesson flow: Warm-up → Target practice → Roleplay + expression upgrade → Summary + Feedback.Me as a Teacher
I don’t have a traditional school-teaching background, but my strength is coaching built on real workplace communication. I’ve worked on projects with diverse teams where I constantly had to explain clearly, check understanding, and re-structure expressions until they made sense to the listener.
In daily conversations with international friends and colleagues, I’ve also helped learners with practical Korean: explaining natural phrases, correcting pronunciation, and improving word choice. I prefer simple, usable guidance over long explanations, using short sentences, repetition, and situational examples so you can start speaking right away. My lessons & teaching style
I don’t just teach Korean. I build your reflex to speak and understand in real life. Each lesson is bespoke to your level and goal, so you can order coffee, make plans, and sound like you.
🌱 Beginner: Start even without Hangul. Pronunciation + rhythm, key phrases, then short speaking wins.
🚀 Low-Intermediate: Roleplays (café, directions, intros, making plans). Build: short → add a reason → ask back.
✨ Intermediate+: Free talk + feedback on nuance, tone, natural phrasing. Say the same idea in smoother ways, plus pronunciation/intonation if needed.
🧭 Flow: Set a goal before class → maximize speaking time → quick recap + light homework. Relaxed, supportive, always speaking.My teaching material

Alex is an amazing teacher, very patient and really helpful. She gave me study materials and is adjusting to my expectations since I have only one month left before my travel. She always gives me a lot of new information about living in Korea and it will be super useful during my travel. She also gave me constructive feedback about my mistakes so I can focus and speak better. I'm very happy with my classes.

I had a great first lesson with Alex. She started by assessing my current speaking and listening level and then tailored the class accordingly. She focuses on speaking and building natural conversation skills, which is what I need. She is patient and approachable - taking as much time as needed to repeat things and answer all my questions. Overall she is a great teacher and I highly recommend her!

Really good first lesson, we spent some time going over what speaking level I was and covered off a few different topics during that. It felt very accessible and enjoyable.
