🌟 About Me Hi! 안녕하세요! I'm Leah (도현) — your future favorite Korean teacher! After a short break, I’m back with even more polished and advanced class structures to help you learn Korean effectively and enjoyably. Born and raised in Daegu, South Korea, I now live in New York, working as a software engineer and teaching Korean online. I've been teaching since 2020, and over the past three years, I've shared unforgettable moments with students from all over the world. Some have even become close friends, and several of my top students were accepted into Korean universities/companies — a proud moment for both of us!

These days, I only learn with Leah. Even after taking long breaks, I’ve noticed that my Korean has really improved. She always has really fun lessons and helps me to learn with things that I enjoy. She’s very patient and helps me to be comfortable. I tried several teachers on iTalki, but Leah is by far my favorite. She speaks English extremely well which is very helpful. One thing that I appreciate is that she never underestimates my knowledge. I had a teacher recommend I start from the beginning and I was very discouraged, but Leah always checks for what I know and doesn’t assume. I have learned a lot of new things and improved on old things. My main reason for tutoring with iTalki is because I wasn’t comfortable speaking. I often only texted so I couldn’t have conversations well. These days, I have begun to talk a lot faster and I’m able to think about what I want to say quicker. I used to write everything down, but now I can think about what I want to say. Leah is the absolute best!

As usual, Leah's lessons are always in high spirits! Conversations with her are always interactive, entertaining, and as well as relatable. I always come out with learning something new in every lesson without being overwhelmed at all. It simply feels amazing to be in her company. I'm always looking forward to the next time I'll see her again!

We discussed a range of topics, from historical cultural facts to silly and fun experiences! I was able to get to know her before diving straight into a lesson, which made the atmosphere laidback and comfortable. She introduced me to lots of entertaining Korean media and made language learning all the more exciting! ☺️
