안녕하세요! With more than 20 years of language teaching experience in Korea and in the US, I can help you learn or improve your Korean or English. I have traveled and lived in many places, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, several European countries and Caribbean nations. It was so interesting to meet people from different countries with different cultures that I became an online Korean teacher to reach out the people around the world. I like to share my extensive teaching and travel experience with the students. You will also have ample practice opportunities for preview and review at the interactive online curriculum I am using. So check out my profile and book a lesson. 수업시간에 봐요! =)

I am specialized in beginners learning the basics quickly, and I customize all my lessons to meet your goals and needs. Feel free to send me messages!

Teacher Unju is lovely. She's patient and explains things clearly. She corrects my writing practice in Google Docs throughout the week and she always gives me time to ask questions. Her stories in class make learning more enjoyable and positive. Even with tough topics, Teacher Unju keeps a good pace, making me feel accomplished. I highly recommend Teacher Unju.

The lesson with Unju was engaging and fun! She is friendly and helpful, and having notes in the Google doc to work on is a great resource. I'm looking forward to the next lesson!

Unju is always prepared and supportive, she helps you even if you may not speak English very well. I study Korean with her for more than a month and it is really a pleasure to do so. I often learn how to say many sentences in Korean just by talking about us and what we do, Unju is a perfect teacher and also very qualified. =)

We learned about different ways of transportation and the cultural differences regarding transportation. While learning, we also shared funny short stories around same topic. It was fun, thank you so much for your patience.

The lesson was interactive, as we discussed about culture differences between our countries, while speaking about food and certain habits. We passed through grammar and vocabulary, but it was through practice and speaking. Felt really nice that we managed to
