Hello! I’m from Seoul, Korea. I am a certified Korean teacher with a Master's degree in language education (Yonsei University in Seoul). I love teaching Korean and helping my students improving their language skills. I always try to be a supportive and attentive teacher. I help my students enjoy learning Korean and also achieving their goals. I communicate with my students not only in class but also out of my class to share useful information regarding Korean studying via mobile messenger app. It helps my students having more input of the target language. I share class material. I mainly use various university text books and also use multimedia including audio, video and mobile app. Homework can be assigned and checked throughout all the lessons. I create the flashcards of what my students learn and upload them on Quizlet app. I record all the words so my students can review by themselves whenever they want. I also post regarding Korean studying on Instagram on daily basis. I customize the curriculum according to the learner’s need. Other than that, I follow my syllabus which is set up for 20 hour lessons for each level.

I really enjoyed my first lesson. I had gotten quite frustrated with learning on YouTube and with podcasts, but after this lesson with Soohyeon, I feel encouraged! I look forward to studying more with her.

Everything is progressing extremely well--the instruction is clear and excellent, lessons are spot on, the quizlet flashcards are very helpful, the powerpoints have had a lot of effort put into creating them and are extremely helpful with audio/video as well, and the recommended workbook seems very good as well.

I’ve been studying with 선생님 for over a year. She’s incredibly kind and an excellent teacher. Her lessons are well-organised, but she’s always willing to adapt based on any questions I have, bringing in related insights that accelerate my learning. From the very first lesson, I’ve experienced many eureka moments, particularly with grammar. I’ve made progress faster than I ever thought possible. Before, I was unable to form sentences or understand when 선생님 spoke in Korean. Now, almost the entire lesson is conducted in Korean, and for homework, she corrects sentences I write for consolidation. 선생님’s encouragement and the effort she puts in have kept me motivated to do my best. It’s clear she truly loves her work and that passion brightens up everything. I highly recommend 선생님. She’s exceptional.

I have been learning Korean with Soohyeon Kim for about a month now. She is an amazing teacher, I'm so happy I chose her! She is patient, and excellent teacher, her lessons are structured and she gives good feedback. She also gives insights into Korean culture and things I could not learn from a book. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Korean. 선냉님 감사합니다!
