After two years of taking class with Tom I can confidently say that my lessons with him have been the #1 thing that has contributed to my growth in Korean. Not only have my speaking and listening skills improved exponentially, but my depth of understanding of all the nuance in the Korean language (and there is a lot lol) has dramatically increased as well. This for me is super valuable and really not something you can learn from a book!

Some people are just born to teach. Tom has a gift for sure. Tom offers a perfect balance of instruction, patience, encouragement, and humor.Β  -He uses both Korean and English in class -he types notes for you as you go -homework easily fits into busy schedules -you learn so much without realizing it -He can easily sense when you don't understand and may need additional examples -He can also sense when you are having an off-day and need less pressure. -classes are a joy and will quickly become the highlight of your week. Β  I am thankful I put the self-teaching attempts down and took a chance. Learning a language is hard. Having someone to walk beside you that genuinely cares about your success makes it easier.

He's such a good teacher , with an amazing energy. I took a trial class and learned so much in a short time. He's patient and explains the grammar point and sentence structure in a really comprehensive way.He gives you time to thing and structure your sentences . I love that when you speak and when he speaks he will write everything on screen so you can read at the same time and see the words on screen. He provides you will a class material after so you can review what you learned in the class , and I really love it. Like he said in is intro video he is a grammar nerd , and that's something I find amazing because he will make sure you understand the grammar and how words are used the right way . So I really recommend you taking a class with him , it's really amazing ✨

Honestly I can say that after taking many many many lessons with Tom DAILY, this is probably one of the best teachers I’ve ever had in my life β€” period!! I cannot recommend him enough, he is so kind, compassionate punctual. He makes learning so fun and I can genuinely say that it has been a pleasure to be his student. His teaching method for learning languages is by far one of the most practical and hands on approaches. I never thought I would have learnt the amount I learned. And I never even did any of the homework πŸ˜‚. He paces his lessons to suit his students. He takes so much notes during lessons. The study material is always centred around your life so you really learn vocabulary you would use in real life. I can’t recommend him enough.

Tom is hands down the best tutor I've met (and I tried several). He’s a bit of a grammar nerdβ€”which is exactly what I needed! He explains the logic behind the rules in a unique way that is super easy to follow. He’s fun to talk to, but always professional and focused on your progress. Highly recommended!

Tom is the best! Every lesson he caters to you, and he really understands the nuances of the English and Korean languages. Whenever you ask him 웨, he always has the answer! Definitely check out his classes, you wont regret it
