Hi! 안녕하세요 :) I'm Jean, your future Korean teacher! I’m from Seoul, South Korea — but originally from the Jeolla region, where the mountains are beautiful and people speak warmly (don’t worry, I don’t use dialects much!). I love hiking, planning (yes, I’m that person who color-codes her schedule📒), watching all kinds of media, and chatting with people from different cultures. I studied psychology and have lived in Japan, the US, and France — so I understand how exciting (and sometimes challenging) it can be to learn a new language. This helps me deeply connect with your journey as a Korean learner. I currently work as a content editor at an education company, writing every day. In the past, I’ve worked as a psychological counselor, barista, and math teacher. Through these many experiences, I discovered what truly drives me: ✨ a love for language and helping others learn it. I’ve been teaching Korean for over 5 years now — and I keep coming back to it with joy and dedication. Language, to me, is more than just words. It’s a bridge between hearts, cultures, and stories. I’m here not only as a teacher, but as someone who listens, encourages, and grows with you. Let’s learn Korean together — comfortably, meaningfully, and joyfully. 💛 Every lesson is designed to meet you where you are — and help you grow, step by step. Let’s enjoy learning Korean together! 🌿 -Practice speaking in a relaxed but structured environment -Prepare for the TOPIK exam 🗣️ Speaking class Talk abou...

오랫동안 한국어를 공부하는 것을 잠시 쉬었고 약간 긴장했어요. 하지만 지인 씨는 저를 자신있게 만들고 동기 부여 다시 생겼어요! 오늘도 수업 즐겨웠어요~ :)
