About Me
italki teacher since Mar 13, 2017InterestsScienceGamingHistoryTravelBusiness & Finance
Hello, my name is Hoyeon. I majored in computer science and worked as a software engineer at an electronics company.
Realizing how fulfilling it could be to understand and teach languages, I studied Korean language education online and started teaching Korean on italki. I never imagined I would make it this far, but I'm glad I'm on the right track and enjoying every moment of it.
When it comes to learning languages, I believe we can learn more naturally by reusing and reorganizing sentences or phrases we've heard before. It's all about repetition.
I rarely leave reviews. If there's something I need to tell my students, I address it during class. Thank you.Me as a Teacher
Attendance Policy, and Criteria
No-show, No Refund:
If a student doesn't show up on time without prior notice, I can wait for 20 minutes. After this, it will be considered a no-show, and the lesson fee will be fully charged. In the case of my no-show, the credit will be returned, and the next lesson will be free of charge.
Rescheduling:
Rescheduling through the italki system is always OK. You don't need to ask me.
Cancellation:
If you want to cancel the lesson at least 3 hours before the class time, I'll accept it. However, if the request is sent within 3 hours before the lesson time, half of the lesson fee will be charged.
Age Restriction:
I do not teach children or students under 18. My lessons & teaching style
I usually speak English when teaching beginners. However, when we focus on our target expressions or goals, I try to use as much Korean as possible. I can use six different series of textbooks, but if there are no specific requests, I stick to one or two series that I find most effective.
Feel free to message me if there are specific textbooks you want to study. Of course, I can teach without textbooks. In this case, my lesson notes will be the most important study materials.
I don't provide discounts for lesson packages, but you can request to terminate a package at any time without any explanation. I'll accept it without asking any questions.My teaching material

I just had my first lesson with Hoyeon and I immediately felt comfortable with him. He took his time with explaining me the things that we were looking at. The lesson was really nice and I feel like I learned a lot.

Hoyeon is an excellent teacher. I greatly appreciate his ability to personalize our lessons with helpful vocabulary and grammar while providing structured curriculum. When I had my first lesson, I felt very uncomfortable speaking Korean. However, Hoyeon’s patience and encouragement have helped me become more and more comfortable with speaking. I recommend Hoyeon and I look forward to our future lessons!
