Me as a Teacher
I have taught adult Korean learners online for about a year. I have conducted lessons that correct grammar and pronunciation and teach expressions through natural conversations.
Having studied English for over 10 years, I understand the differences between English and Korean, as well as the difficulties of language learning. With this experience, I can effectively teach you Korean!
저는 약 1년간 온라인 한국어 수업을 해 왔습니다. 자연스러운 대화를 통해, 문법, 발음 및 새로운 표현들을 효과적으로 알려드려요!
저 또한 영어를 10년 넘게 공부해 온 사람으로서, 언어 학습의 어려움을 잘 알고 있어요. 이러한 저의 경험을 바탕으로 쉽고 재미있게 한국어를 가르쳐 드릴게요.
My lessons & teaching style
My classes are centered around comfortable conversations tailored to your interests. However, if you have a textbook you’re using, we can also incorporate it into the lessons. I offer customized lessons, so feel free to message me anytime with inquiries!
제 수업은 여러분의 관심사에 맞춘 편안한 대화 위주로 진행됩니다. 하지만 학생이 가지고 있는 교재가 있다면 함께 교재로 수업할 수도 있어요. 맞춤 강의를 제공하고 있으니, 언제든 메세지로 문의 주세요!

I came to EK with a unique request -- to help me with a bridesmaid toast made out of old school K-pop lyrics! Our first session went wonderfully, she fully understood what I was trying to do and helped me put things together. Can't wait to keep working on it!

EK 쌤 is one of the best teachers I have had! She is very patient with me (I ask a lot of questions, maybe too many haha) and she explains all the different words and phrases I struggle with very thoroughly. She is always bright and well prepared for class! I always feel like I have learned and improved after a class with her :)
