Hi, I'm Ezel (Jeongyeon). I majored in Korean Language & Literature and hold a Korean language teaching certificate. I enjoy helping learners express themselves comfortably in Korean, from casual conversations to. ore academic or test-focused Korean. I have several years of experience supporting friends and language-exchange partners with their Korean study, from learning Hangeul to. ore advanced writing and exam skills. Based on this, I now offer ongoing 1:1 tutoring, focusing on clear explanations, practical examples and steady feedback. I'm used to adjusting the pace and. content for each learner, so the lessons feel structured but still personal. My classes are calm but interactive. We use many natural example sentences and practise speaking in real-life situations, such as family, work, travel or study. I adjust the balance of speaking, grammar and writing to your goals, and I can explain in Korean or English depending on your level. I want the lessons to feel like a safe space where you can make mistakes, ask questions freely and build Korean that really works in your daily life or exams.
