Michelle is a wonderful teacher who demonstrates patience and kindness. I work full time and learning Korean for me is a hobby. While I wish I had more time to study, I am still learning because Michelle explains things very well and reinforces things constantly. I recommend her 100%!!!!

Michelle is everything you would hope to find in a language teacher. I'm always amazed at how invested she is in my progress. Knowledgeable, professional, caring, fun - she is just the best.

I had my second lesson with Michelle today and it's been an absolute joy. I love how she uses GoogleDocs to write down things while talking. She also always provides clear explanations. I throughly enjoy the lessons so far and look forward to the next one :)

Michelle (Minji) is an excellent teacher. I am learning so much more than I did in a class. The materials she develops are great and she builds the lessons well, with extension that are geared to what I want to learn. She is flexible, patient and very encouraging.
