Hallo, Ich heiße Lea! I am a native Korean speaker. I have a MA degree in Aesthetics from Seoul National University and have a lot of work experience in Korean writing. Over the past 10 years, I've published many essays as a drama and cartoon critic. I also taught Korean writing for middle school students and high school students; worked as a journalist at a university newspaper, and edited undergraduate writings in college.

I have many advantages as a tutor: positive personality, open mind, interests in other cultures, passion, and so on. But here, I want to emphasize two things. First, I've learned English and German conversation with online tutoring. I've met a lot of tutors, and because I am also a student like you, I already know when you're having fun and when you're struggling in online tutoring. Second, I have so many materials for our conversations. I enjoy reading Korean novels, movies, and webtoons, and I know a lot of K-pops and even older popular songs. Would you like to explore the most beautiful popular song chosen by Korean poets? I can help you!

A truly excellent teacher if you are interested in detailed, nuanced explanation of advanced grammar, as well as the historical, cultural and philosophical background that underlies the Korean language. With Soo-Hyang쌤, you get to truly understand the deeper meaning and complexities of Korean, whether it's literary texts or humorous trending memes. Her intellectual rigour is paired with an extremely approachable and kind personality, making for a meaningful and enjoyable lesson every single time. Absolutely highly recommended!

Soo Hyang helped me with Korean practice prior to travel. She used situational conversations which were very practical. She gave materials and feedback, too.

Soo-hyang is a really kind, energetic teacher! I am taking lessons to prepare to attend my friend’s wedding in Korea, so I learned a lot about Korean wedding culture and words and comments to use at weddings. I really enjoyed the lesson and I look forward to taking another class and slowly improving my speaking skills!

This was my first class with 선생님. We went over basic grammar and vocabulary terms that I could use in my everyday conversation. I'm looking forward to our future lesson :) Thank you!
