I am Nayoung from Seoul. And I am a native speaker and qualified Korean language teacher.
I am a language lover. So I know that learning a language is fun but also there are difficult times, and how important to have a teacher’s support to move on. I will not be just a teacher but also will support and encourage you to reach your goal. The day you reach your goal will be my happiest day! : )
I can’t wait to get started! :D
Me as a Teacher
I always try to make the student feel comfortable so that they can enjoy the class!!!
I will help you to grow confidence in speaking Korean! So don’t be afraid to make a mistake :)
Your mistakes and my feedback will help you and encourage you!
My qualifications:
* Teacher’s Certificate for Secondary School Teacher (Grade II)
* Degree in Korean as a foreign language
* Certificate of Korean language teacher
* Managing Korean language classes in King Sejong institute
* I have been teaching Korean On and offline in private and group.
* And will help you to study not only the Korean language but also various Korean cultural aspects.
My lessons & teaching style
THE MOST important thing in Learning languages is motivation. Because it will always boost you to reach your goal and create synergy between us. Therefore I prepare the lesson suitable for a personality and keep you motivated consistently. :D
TO SPEAK CORRECTLY, understand the context and speak proper grammar and vocabulary in the right context is very important. So each lesson will be provided dialogue that fits in grammar and will practice based on it.
To SPEAK FLUENTLY, need lots of listening and speaking practice focusing on pronunciation and intonation. During and after the lesson, I will ask you to shadow me and the audio files lots of time to keep you in a Korean mood :D

Nayoung is the best Korean Teacher! I've been learning Korean for a few months now and I'm really enjoying my weekly lessons. Nayoung is very patient and encouraging, even though I still make a lot of mistakes. The lessons are well structured and fun, and provide a great foundation for learning to have real life useful conversations in Korean. I'm grateful to have found such a great teacher through italki and would highly recommend Nayoung to anyone wanting to learn Korean as a complete beginner. :)

Nayoung is such a wonderful teacher. I cannot recommend her enough! She always creates a safe and comfortable learning space that really allows you to do your best. She tailors the lessons to your current level so you are able to advance faster. She is dedicated to your Korean experience, whether you are learning for TOPIK or just for fun. Lessons with her are the best part of my week!

I have been taking weekly lessons with Nayoung for three months now and I can highly recommend her to anyone. She quickly adapted the lessons to my existing knowledge of Korean, my needs (more speaking) and never hesitates to provide great ad-hoc explanations about anything whenever the need arises. The lessons and homework are well prepared and I always feel a little challenged to grow and improve based on her great feedback. On the personal side Nayoung is very kind, friendly and very patient. My lessons are early in the morning in my timezone and I get annoyed at sleepy me getting stuck ever so often. Whenever that happens Nayoung calmly waits until I collect my thoughts without any pressure whatsoever. At the same time she tries to push me subtly to use more Korean whenever my existing knowledge could express something but I used English out of habit. In short: I'm very happy with the lessons and am looking forward to many more!

Nayoung is such a great teacher! She's patient, friendly, and always so encouraging. She also gives positive feedback on where I can improve, which really helps me understand what to work on without feeling discouraged. I always leave each class feeling more motivated and confident :)) thank you!
