안녕하세요!
I'm Jenn, a native Korean teacher living in the USA with my amazing family. 🌏 I'm a huge travel enthusiast, always daydreaming about faraway places to explore.
In my free time, I enjoy a mix of things – reading webtoons, playing tennis, and unwinding with some content on Netflix and YouTube. 😍 Rom-coms are my absolute favorites!
As your Korean teacher, I'm all about bringing enthusiasm and support to the table. I'm here to help you level up your Korean skills and build a meaningful connection with you. Let's dive into this language learning journey together! 🚀
Me as a Teacher
I am a certified Korean teacher😉
✅M.A. in Korean Education for Foreigners from Yonsei University
✅B.A. in Korean language and literature
✅Worked as an editor💯 in an educational publishing company
✅Lots of experience correcting college essays at cram school
✅Korean teaching certificate by Minister of Korea
As a lifelong ESL learner, I understand the difficulties that come with learning a new language, especially when studying abroad. As your teacher, I will always be patient, kind, and supportive. I will motivate you to not give up, encourage you to speak as much as possible, and help you enjoy learning towards your goals.
My lessons & teaching style
✅ I prefer to teach with textbooks. In that way, you can learn not only grammar but also reading, listening, and speaking.
✅ However, I also can be flexible with your preference. I can customize all of your lessons based on your goal and interests.
✅ I speak Korean as much as possible during the lesson. But according to your level, I’ll adjust the amount of Korean usage to ensure that you feel more comfortable in the class.

Jenn is a wonderful teacher. I have been studying Korean with her for 5 months now and have made so much progress. Learning a new language can be so daunting at first. Before booking my first lesson, I spent a week studying Hangul on my own. I felt so nervous and self-conscious, but Jenn’s encouragement immediately put me at ease.
We use a university textbook and workbook, covering new grammatical concepts and vocabulary each week. We also practice speaking and listening through real-life scenarios from the textbook, which are not only entertaining but also practical for everyday situations. I find the structured approach very effective.
Jenn goes above and beyond by grading homework assignments outside scheduled lesson times and creating Quizlet flashcards to help students study.
As a teacher she is patient, kind, and encouraging, and makes learning comfortable and fun. She is deeply committed to teaching and genuinely cares about her students.
Really, she is a fantastic teacher!

I have now been taking lessons with Jenn for about a year and I have made so much progress thanks to her help! I started not knowing much at all and I am now able to read, listen, speak, and write complete sentences/conversations - due to her amazing teaching and the resources she provides. I highly recommend taking classes with Jenn. 🤩 it has been such a fun and rewarding journey for me!

I’ve been taking classes with Jenn for almost one year now and I’m really happy with my progress. I was able to use what I’ve learned when I visited Korea this summer and I surprised myself at how far I’ve come. Her classes have helped me maintain a clear and consistent direction in navigating the language, and she makes sure to incorporate ways of communicating in a natural, real world setting. I still have a long way to go, but Jenn’s classes make the journey a lot less daunting!

As a native English speaker, learning Korean is really challenging. This week, I finished my second textbook. As we were reviewing the content, I realized how much I've learned in my ~1.5 years of taking lessons with Jenn. She is a great teacher and is happy to give comprehensive answers to the litany of questions I ask each week. I always look forward to our lessons and, while I know fluency will not come overnight, I'm excited by the progress I notice.

Lessons are always fun, I love that we chat and I get to practice without feeling like I’m imposing. And when I struggle to say something, she helps with grammar and vocabulary, and turns it into a mini lesson.

I learn so much with every lesson with Jenn. She goes beyond the textbook and covers things like culture and common sayings. She creates a safe space for me to practice and experiment so I’m comfortable speaking.
