Hi, I'm Jun β a Korean language teacher based in Busan, South Korea. Yes, I really do think Korean is less scary than it looks, and after 7 years of teaching, I've seen the exact moment it starts to click for people. That moment is my favorite part of the job. π
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Korean Language Education, so there's a real method behind every lesson β not just fluency. I've also lived in Australia and Taiwan, so I know firsthand what it's like to struggle with a foreign language. Whether you're here because of K-dramas, a trip to Korea, or pure curiosity β you're in the right place.

Me as a Teacher
My degree in Korean Language Education means I teach with real structure β a clear path that actually gets you somewhere. Over 7 years, I've taught 6,000+ lessons across platforms to students worldwide β every stage of the journey is familiar to me.
I also use a custom AI-powered Korean quiz platform I built for my students β personalized fill-in-the-blank quizzes, sentence writing, and speaking practice with pronunciation feedback, all based on what we cover in class.
You'll leave each lesson knowing exactly what you worked on and why it matters.
My lessons & teaching style
Every lesson is built around you β your goals, your pace, your interests:
π£ Conversational Korean & Free Talking
β Travel Korean
π Reading & Writing
π― TOPIK Exam Prep
π€ Pronunciation & Grammar
Absolute beginner? No problem β we start with Hangul, mostly in English, and gradually shift to Korean as your confidence grows. Intermediate? Let's move past textbook Korean and get you to the point where you stop translating in your head. Advanced? We go deep β nuanced grammar, real media, and the kind of Korean you won't find in a textbook.
Not sure where you fit? Book a trial lesson and we'll figure it out together.
Excellent class. Iβm learning practical lessons from the beginning that will help me speak Korean. Thanks for your patience Jun.
