Speak Korean right away | Practical grammar + real culture You understand Korean, but freeze when you try to speak? That’s what we fix. Hi, I’m Minji, a Korean teacher from Seoul. I’ve taught Korean for 10+ years, including at Yonsei University, and I run a Korean learning channel with 400K+ learners. In my lessons, we don’t just study grammar. You’ll learn grammar you can actually use, then apply it right away to real situations, from restaurants and travel to daily conversations, AI, social issues, or any topic you want. I also include cultural context, like gifts, drinking culture, and what’s polite, so you don’t make real-life mistakes. Custom materials, full English support, and free talking are all welcome! 🌐 Online Teaching I’ve created over 400 Korean learning videos and gained 400,000 followers. One of the most memorable comments I received was from a student who said, "I couldn’t understand anything from the textbook, but after watching Minji’s video, it finally clicked." 📚 Group Classes I’ve provided online group classes to learners worldwide based on a structured curriculum. With my own materials, students practiced speaking, learned grammar and vocabulary, and received personalized 1:1 feedback. 🏫 Offline Teaching I’ve worked as a full-time instructor at Yonsei University’s Korean Language Institute, where I taught Korean in Korean. I provide personalized lessons through one-on-one consultations to find the best approach for each learner. ✅ For Toddlers: Learning Hangul Basic vocabulary Fun memorization ...

I was lucky enough to meet Minji in September 2025, and since then my Korean has improved tremendously. Thanks to her, I’m learning comprehensive, practical Korean, not just textbook sentences. She is a highly recognized professional teacher on italki (not a community tutor), and it really shows in the way she explains grammar, adapts to my level, and helps me express myself more naturally. Her lessons are well-structured, encouraging, and always motivating. I truly feel supported in my learning journey and highly recommend her to anyone serious about improving their Korean. See you in 2026! She is too talented for this platform.

Lessons with teacher Minji are very enjoyable. She comes prepared, makes sure the class is engaging, and asks thought-provoking questions. Additionally, she provides excellent feedback after the lesson. I highly recommend her. It's also worth checking out her YouTube channel—though I think pretty much anyone looking for Korean learning materials has come across it at least once :)

첫번제있는데 오늘 수업은 너무 즐거웠어요. 민지쌤은 지리 지식 너무 좋고, 제나라, 인도내시아의 민족까지 알는것이 있어서 감동해더라고요. 그리고 대화할수 있는 화제도 너무 많고, 너무 좋아요!

I enjoyed my lesson with Minji! She is extremely thorough with the amount of examples and content used in each lesson. (Minji’s PowerPoints are so adorable and so informative). Also, Minji is super encouraging and she provides such a supportive environment. I am looking forward to our next lesson together and to continue developing my Korean language skills.
