Hi! I’m Serena, a native Korean speaker from South Korea, currently living in the UK. I’ve always loved languages and sharing my knowledges. I first started teaching Korean 15 years ago while connecting with international friends online, and it quickly became a passion and a long-term part of my life. Outside of teaching, I enjoy learning about different cultures, and exploring the world. I believe language is not just about words, but also about connection, kindness, and curiosity. I'm excited to get to know you and support your Korean journey in a way that feels meaningful and enjoyable!

For my first day using Italki I'm so glad I went with Jee's class. She assessed my Korean speaking ability really well, and was able to identify problem points, such as repetitive grammar use really quickly. She corrected my incorrect use of grammar and vocabulary, and told me the natural expressions I could be using in place of them. She gave me a lot of tips on how I can improve and if if I couldn't understand anything in Korean, she explained in perfect English. I'm looking forward to more classes with Jee and improving my Korean thanks to her great teaching :)

This was my first lesson with Jee. Here are my observations: * She speaks English VERY well, and explains things in new and interesting ways. * She knows some Spanish, which is helpful, since I sometimes Korean works more like Spanish than English. * We had a scheduling problem, but she was patient to work it out. * She seems to tailor her lesson to the student, which I really like. * She reviewed some simple beginning things, but filled some holes that no one else seems to mention. * She asked me to copy the things from Skype instead of copy and paste....a good teaching technique, as writing things down again, helps to reinforce the concepts and words. * She was quite blunt in saying that if her students are willing to study at least a little everyday, she it not willing to teach them. This is GOOD!

I really enjoyed my lesson with JeeYoung, she's so helpful, speaks English like a native! Gives me a lot of examples and lets me practice my spoken Korean, tells a lot of things that native Koreans really use in spoken language and the ones they don't (but you can find them in textbooks), that's why learning the language with JeeYoung is much more better than at school.
