Hi!, I'm Dina from Seoul, Korea but currently living in Gothenburg, Sweden! I like to talk to people and get to know about different cultures and backgrounds. I think that's why I still like this work despite that it already has been 4 years since I started to work as a Korean teacher. I also learn many things from the students :).
I like singing and dancing k-pop, playing piano&guitar, cooking&baking, gardening and sometimes playing games too! Currently, I'm also studying to become a software developer, so there are many topics that we can talk about! As you can see, I am curios about many things!

Me as a Teacher
During the time I've worked as a teacher for vocal/piano, barista/manager, and Korean teacher, I found that I like to help people with finding the best way individually and teach them based on that. I believe that the best way to take advantage of tutoring is to find a teacher who fits you the best! That's why I try to be adapted to students' studying styles and requests as much as I can!
Since I always bring the topic that we can talk together, you don't have to feel pressured about what to talk about. All you have to do is just try to be confident with your Korean :D! I'll support, help, and motivate you as much as I can! That's what the tutor should do!
My lessons & teaching style
I provide several types of classes. It all depends on your interests. If you're not sure about what to choose, just feel free to contact me, you can send me a message and ask whatever you want :). You also can take trial class if it's your first time, then we can talk more about your level and plan for upcoming classes!

Dina 씨 is so good at explaining things in a simple way. I often look on internet for explanations for very specific points. But I often only find very vague answers with no cultural contextualization. Then, I ask Dina 씨 and she is always able to explain things in a very precise way. And most important of all, she tells me the actual use of it (telling me if it's a common way to speak or not, in what situations people would use it or not,...). Without Dina 씨 I would be very frustrated with many unclear grammar points in my head. But thanks to her I always move on to the next grammar points, with the feeling that I had a very good grasp what I've already studied.

I've been studying with Dina for about a year now. She is amazing - extremely patient (I can be a SLOW talker!!!), always prepared, and incredibly friendly.
Our classes are always comfortable and enjoyable: more like a conversation than a class (although I learn a lot each time). As others have said, because Dina currently lives abroad in Sweden, she has a very unique perspective; I love to hear her opinions on anything we discuss.
I still have a LOT to learn, but I wouldn't be where I am now without Dina's help! I highly recommend her as a teacher! :D 정말...진짜...항상 감사합니다!

너무 감사합니다! I am truly grateful for Dina 씨's guidance, encouragement, patience, and positivity. It's been a true pleasure being able to learn 한국어 with her. During our conversations, I always enjoy listening to her adventures and sharing my own experiences. 수업 진짜 재미있어요! 그리고 최고 선생님! 다음에 만나요!

Speaking a lot of Korean, even when you feel like you don’t know much, is easy with Dina 선생님. Even if I take a long time to say something and feel self conscious, she never looks frustrated - only patient and encouraging. She also makes interesting homework related to my interests, so lessons feel very personalized. This week Dina 선생님 sent me an audio clip that was perfect for repetitive listening. Although I didn’t understand everything, the more I listened, the more I was able to figure out the meaning by spelling words out.

새로운 인생하고 직업은 축하해요, 화이팅 디나 씨가 할 수 있어요! 나중에 work life balance 찾으면 한국어 가르치기 다시 시작하고 싶으면, 연락해 주세요.
Till next time, 디나 씨, 건강하고 행복해야 해요. 안녕히계세요.
