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.Me as a Teacher
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. 💛My lessons & teaching style
Every lesson is designed to meet you where you are — and help you grow, step by step.

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

Jean is a great conversationalist. She is super friendly, funny, and engaging in a way that makes conversation flow easily (or at least as easily as it can with a language barrier). I've had other teachers that interrupt the conversation to correct every mistake, but Jean lets conversation flow naturally and provides written suggestions afterwards that I am able to review on my own time. This method has definitely improved my speaking confidence since I don't have to have perfect grammar to get my point across. Her interesting topics and stories make me motivated to keep learning every day, and I always look forward to my lessons with her. Highly recommend!!

久しぶりのレッスンで喋れるか心配でしたが、楽しくお話しできました。
韓国語で近況報告出来るのも楽しみの一つになっています。
日記も細々と続けていきます😊
