Hyungsu Kim

Today I had my 50th lesson with Hyungsu! Reflecting on my progress since our very first lesson, I feel grateful to continue working with a teacher who encourages me to do my best and helps me to constantly refine my Korean skills. I am so amazed by the way Hyungsu introduces new, challenging concepts in an approachable, engaging way that helps me feel comfortable practicing with and using new concepts immediately. Additionally, his feedback both in class and through the workbooks is detailed and informative, not only to correct errors, but also provides further context and a more in-depth understanding of the topics. Korean can be a difficult language to learn, but Hyungsu’s supportive teaching style and compassion have made a huge difference in my progress. Our lessons are so fun and I leave our lessons inspired to work harder and strive to do my best. I look forward to taking many more lessons with Hyungsu!

Hyungsu is a great teacher. I have been taking classes for over two months now and only knew Hangeul and a handful of words in the beginning. Obviously, I still have a long way to go, but I'm amazed by all the things I learned in such a short amount of time. I like the mixture of grammar concepts, reading/speaking exercises and additional cultural background information. The class environment feels really encouraging and friendly too, so don't worry about making mistakes or asking questions. :)

Hyungsu is an amazing teacher. We’ve been working together for more than 2 years now and my Korean level has grown incredibly fast. Although learning a completely new language can be daunting, and it’s easy to feel discouraged when things start to get difficult, Hyungsu’s lessons and materials really help you keep motivated and feel like you’re making progress. I started my lessons barely being able to read Korean and with only a few words learned from Korean Dramas and Korean Music. Now I am able to have 1 hour lessons almost fully in Korean, read, write and have advanced dialogues. I really couldn’t recommend anyone better 고마워요 쌤, 최고예요!

I recently completed my 80th lesson with Hyungsu! As my skills have progressed over time, I’m constantly impressed by the way Hyungsu continues to challenge me through targeted reading, writing, speaking, and listening exercises and practice. Our lessons also incorporate Korean culture topics, which has helped me understand the “why” behind certain vocabulary and grammar structures. Hyungsu tailors the lessons to fit my skill level and needs, providing me with valuable feedback that helps me continue to grow and improve. Hyungsu’s patient and kind approach makes a huge difference in my learning. He makes learning Korean fun, engaging, and exciting. I am always looking forward to what I’ll learn next. Thank you, Hyungsu!

Really enjoying my lessons I feel like I am making steady progress and Hyungsu is very patient answering my questions. :)
