Hello, my name is Hanna, and I’m a native Korean speaker from Busan, South Korea. I was born and raised in Korea, but I’ve been living in Germany since 2018, where I completed my Master’s degree and currently work in a German-speaking environment.
I speak native Korean (with Busan dialect), English, and German, and I truly understand what it’s like to learn and use a foreign language as an adult. I use English at a professional level, even though I’ve spent only about one year in an English-speaking country. I also started learning German from scratch in my late 20s, so I’m very familiar with the challenges adult language learners face.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I strongly believe that making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process. Especially for adult learners, fear of making mistakes can often be the biggest barrier to speaking a new language.
That’s why creating a comfortable and supportive speaking environment is one of my top priorities. In my classes, you are encouraged to speak freely, try new expressions, and make mistakes without pressure.
I strongly believe that adult language learning should be fun-based. Whether your motivation comes from work, exams, or just pure interest, learning is most effective when it’s enjoyable and relevant to your life.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are flexible and tailored to your goals and level. I use visual materials like PDFs, slides, pictures, and short videos to make learning more engaging and easier to remember.
My curriculum follows a structured, step-by-step roadmap designed for systematic learning. While we cover essential grammar and vocabulary thoroughly, I use my own self-made materials—including practical exercises and interactive activities—to make our lessons more engaging. You won't just memorize rules. you'll learn how to apply them in real-life situations through my customized learning material.
