Hi! I'm Phoenix, a university professor, a husband, and a father of two grown children. ✅ Real-time note-taking: I share my screen and type our conversation / grammar in real-time so you can follow along easily. ✅ Review materials: After every class, I send a PDF or TXT recap of the lesson. ✅ Audio support: I provide audio recordings of key expressions so you can practice your pronunciation on your own time. I hold a Ph.D. in Engineering from one of the top universities in Korea. Outside of the academic world, I’m an avid mountain biker, kayaker, and musician (novice - drums & bass). I also enjoy training my dog, Lelle—who teaches Korean language for beginners on Youtube.

What a lovely first lesson with Phoenix! He has such a warm, enthusiastic energy that makes the class feel positive and enjoyable right away. He creates a great balance between keeping high standards and making it feel completely okay to make mistakes, because his feedback is clear, constructive, and genuinely helpful. The conversation flowed so naturally, and the time flew by. He asked interesting questions that matched my level well, gave clear explanations when I needed them, and helped me feel engaged the whole time. I also appreciated that he took an interest in me as a person, which made the lesson feel even more personal and encouraging. I left the class feeling motivated and excited to keep learning. I’m really looking forward to my next lesson with Phoenix!

Very casual, very much the kind of thing I was looking for.

I'm enjoying my lessons with Phoenix. I needed conversation focused classes to advance my verbal skills and Phoenix excels at that. See you next class. Thanks!
