I’ve been studying with Sophia Lee for a couple of years now, and I am so happy with her! I started the summer after my first year of college Korean (because I didn’t want to forget everything over the summer). Our sessions were so helpful that I kept them going through my second year of college Korean and beyond. She is very good at identifying my trouble spots and giving them remedial attention. (I am an older student, and I am trying to learn thoroughly.) Her friendly personality, patience and good sense of humor make our lessons a pleasure. And I really appreciate the way she brings to my attention all kinds of cultural items that she knows will interest me (music, food, art, even gardening). You won’t find a better Korean teacher than Sophia Lee!

Teacher Lee is very systematic in teaching all aspects of the Korean language, from grammar rules, to vocabulary. She includes listening, reading, speaking and writing in her lesson activities and homework which helps me learn better. The homework assigned is fun and meaningful, and reinforces what was taught in the lesson. Teacher Lee also goes beyond the textbook material and teaches additional vocabulary and grammar points. Thank you Teacher Lee for teaching me Korean language so far! I look forward to many more lessons with you. :) 많은 것을 배웠다. 감사합니다 !

Sophia is a very experienced teacher with lots of patience who has a unique ability to clearly explain Korean grammar. I've been learning with Sophia for over a year now and I've seen my Korean reading, writing and speaking greatly improve over this time.

I completed my first full session with Sophia Lee yesterday, and it was amazing. She really goes into depth with grammar explanations. After one lesson I can already understand the correct way to use several beginner grammars that I was misusing. Before learning grammar, Sophia would ask questions to assess my understanding of the grammar rule. This allowed us to quickly review what I already knew, and to focus on the aspects that I didn’t. She facilitates practice of the grammar you learnt by asking you to practice translating English sentences into Korean. It's challenging but is amazing practice, especially as I can see myself using those sentences in real life.
During our lessons, Sophia takes notes in the chat, which is incredibly helpful because it allows me to focus on the material without worrying about taking detailed notes myself.
Overall, Sophia Lee is an exceptional teacher whose teaching style suits me perfectly. I highly recommend taking lessons with her.

Sophia 선생님 is very good at explaining complex grammars and sentence structures in a way that’s make it understandable. She’s patient and gives you ample examples to ensure understanding is clear. The material she suggests are based on her assessment of your level of Korean. I highly recommend her, you will not regret it.
