Hi. I'm Soosun. I’m a native Korean speaker and born and raised in Korea. I can also speak English and Japanese fluently.
Over the course of my career, many of my students who started from zero have become fluent in Korean and passed the TOPIK exam.
Before being a professional Korean language teacher, I had worked as a company worker for 7 years in Korea and Japan.Me as a Teacher
It’s been 11 years after I became a Korean teacher. All this while, I’ve worked for a few of the most renowned language institutes in Singapore and in Malaysia. Furthermore, I’ve been teaching non-Korean office workers in their company so they could be ready for communicating with native Korean clients at work.
My qualifications:
-TESOL Diploma(for ESL Teacher) - Global College of Canada (2016)
-Certificate of Korean Language Teacher - Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Korea (2013)
-Certificate of Achievement - Training program for Korean language teachers - Seoul National University, Korea (2012)My lessons & teaching style
What is prepared for you before/after the class:
- Assessment test if it is your first class with me.
- Study materials and homework are included.
We will begin with an assessment to figure out your level in the first lesson. And then we will design a personalized plan to move forward based on your needs and goals. The lessons can be adjusted depending on your learning pace.
In my class, you can learn comprehensive Korean language skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing.
Here is my sincere advice from my experience. Always keep in mind that the important thing is to learn properly; it’s not necessary to learn fast. See you soon! ;-)My teaching material

Very nice and friendly. Was easy to understand and thoroughly went over vocabulary and grammar points.

Have been learning Korean with Soosun 선생님 for a couple of months now. She goes at a pace that matches the student's ability so that its just right. Her added worksheets to supplement the Sogang syllabus are also really helpful. She has a cheerful disposition and most importantly for me, she speaks excellent English so she fully understands what I'm trying to ask. She was also very accommodating when I had to make last minute changes to my schedule, even though she was not obliged to.
Highly recommended!

It's been a little over a year now that I've been working with Soosun. I feel incredibly grateful to her, because my Korean has improved so much. I have definitely put in the effort, but she has been such an encouraging teacher throughout, organized in her lesson planning, but delightfully spontaneous in conversation. Despite all my mistakes, I never feel self-conscious or embarrassed during the lesson. The hour just flies by. I look forward to another year working with her. 수선 씨, 감사합니다!

After leveling out of the Korean classes offered at my local cultural center, I was uncertain what my language learning journey would look like. While I have been studying with other Korean teachers on italki, learning with structured textbooks fell to the wayside. Fortunately, I reached out to Soosun and had my first lesson today. We accomplished a lot within 30 minutes, so I'm looking forward to seeing what we can cover in an hour-long lesson together. We spent the first few minutes discussing my motivation for learning Korean, previous materials I've relied on to study the language, etc. Soosun quickly assessed my level through our conversation as well as a fun storytelling activity. From there, she offered her opinion on my level and what future lessons would look like. After class, she instantly followed up with homework that is helping me review what I have learned so far. I feel confident that under Soosun's guidance and care, I will be able to grow my Korean skills. 감사합니다!

I had a great time in my first lesson with Soosun. She was laser focused on my learning goals and it felt like every minute of our class time was dedicated to her assessing my current level so that she can make a plan to get where I want to go. She was extremely nice but also honest about where my biggest opportunities for growth are and the fact that growth takes focus and time to achieve. I loved it and can't wait for the next class.

Almost 3 years of taking classes with her , I always recommend Soonsun to any one who asks me about my korean classes. The quality I get from these classes is unmatched and I always appreciate her patience with me. Even with my busy schedule, she is understanding and supportive as a teacher even when I struggle remembering the basics.
