I needed to complete an entire Sogang textbook and pass a speaking and writing exam in just 3 WEEKS — and Minji made it happen. She explains everything clearly, anticipates what you’ll struggle with, and keeps you motivated the whole way through. An exceptional teacher!

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.

Michelle has been patient even when I have limited time to study. She's been great with providing lots of examples of grammar and also ensuring that I understand the content. 감사합니다!

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%!!!!

Minji is the best Korean teacher I’ve had on italki and I’m so grateful to have found her 🥺 She takes grammar that feels completely impossible to understand and makes it click instantly with clear, nuanced explanations and targeted drills. She’s so encouraging and I always leave every lesson feeling motivated no matter how daunting the material. Highly recommended!!
