Hello! I’m Sujin, a Korean teacher from Seoul. Since 2013, I have lived with international guests and helped them learn Korean naturally through daily conversations and real-life situations. My father has lived near where I currently live since a time when Seoul’s population was only about one-tenth of what it is today. Because of this, I enjoy sharing stories about how Seoul has grown and changed while teaching practical Korean used in everyday life. In recognition of my hosting experience and guest satisfaction, I received the A+ Best Host rating—an honor given to only six hosts out of approximately 9,600 homestays in Korea—and I continue to maintain this rating as of 2026.

Me as a Teacher

For over a decade, I have supported Korean learning through daily interaction while living with international guests. Through activities such as sharing meals, grocery shopping, cooking, and visiting local landmarks, I help learners practice Korean in real-life contexts and build communication skills. In 2021, I earned my Korean language teaching certification and have been teaching paid Korean lessons for the past three years. Most of my lessons are one-on-one or small group classes (1:2, 1:3), and since 2024 I have also taught classroom groups of over 40 students. Based on these experiences, I provide practical and engaging online lessons tailored to each learner’s level and goals.

My lessons & teaching style

My lessons begin with a brief review or homework check, followed by a clear explanation of the day’s learning goals. I introduce key expressions first and guide students to practice them through example sentences and short speaking activities so they can use them right away. I listen carefully to each student and provide selective feedback, helping improve pronunciation, vocabulary, and sentence structure. After class, I provide a short summary and simple review materials so students can continue practicing on their own.
