Dylan

I was a complete beginner and not sure where to start with learning Korean. I looked at apps, flashcards, books, Instagram, etc and was overwhelmed with the content. There is so much out there for language learning which is great but can also be overwhelming. I started taking lessons with Dylan and quickly started developing Korean speaking, writing, and listening skills. Where before I was scattered and discouraged, suddenly I felt more confident and happy with my learning. I recommend that you start lessons with Dylan as soon as possible to give your learning direction and be able to practice with someone that can give you feedback. Your knowledge will increase faster and it is a more encouraging and supportive way to learn.

I have been studying Korean with Dylan for more than a year. I had no prior experience with an Asian language, and while I had learned other non-Roman alphabets for work reasons, I was truly at ground zero when we began. Dylan has patiently and methodically guided me from learning the alphabet to conjugating verbs in different tenses to forming simple sentences to reading elementary texts to improving my auditory processing. I appreciate Dylan's flexibility as some days he must pivot and review a previous grammar point with me rather than moving onto a new topic. I also admit to being a challenging student due to my age and profession yet he is always upbeat, professional, and prepared with engaging, structured, and creative lessons and homework.

I cannot believe I have been studying with Dylan for over a year now! Studying with Dylan every lesson we do a new journal entry and this has been a great way to track my progress over the last year. My Korean has improved so much over the last year I cannot believe it. If you are thinking of booking a lesson with Dylan for either learning korean for the long term or just a few lessons you will not be disappointed! Learning Korean with Dylan has been so much fun and something I look forward to every week!

Dylan is absolutely the best peer tutor I have ever worked with. He is firm while being encouraging.

Dylan is a great Korean teacher!! One of the things I like about Dylan’s class in particular is that I get to practice making sentences and practice speaking a lot. In classes I took on another platform, the teacher lectured and I had no time to practice speaking or pronouncing words. When I started taking Dylan’s class I completely stopped the other platform and made more progress. I also like the variety of homework that you have the option to do as it motivates me to learn between lessons. I am able to practice listening, writing, reading, and speaking in his class. Even though I forget things at times and am not always as consistent as I could be, Dylan is helpful, encouraging, and kind. I highly recommend Korean lessons with Dylan. 📝👍😁📚

Dylan is such a patient and kind teacher! I have such bad ADHD and he always easily redirects me, gives me time to think of what I want to say, and helps me to progress. No matter how slowly I may progress through a lesson, he always tries to find ways to help me understand things better! When I ask 100 questions between classes he always responds and never complains that I am asking. He is very adaptable to my ever changing brain :)! I would recommend Dylan to anyone wanting to learn, especially in a judgement free space.
