😃To touch the mind, invariably we must first touch the heart; learning Korean is no different.👌 Hi! I'm Sooyoung, a passionate Korean teacher for students from the US, Japan, Germany, and more. I create a warm, mistake-friendly space! Using a customized CLT approach, we focus on natural speaking and cultural nuances to build real-life confidence. 🕐 60-Min Lesson: • 15m: Grammar • 10m: Vocab • 10m: Pattern Drills • 20m: Conversation • 5m: Review Book a trial today! ✨ The goal of my teaching is to help learners express their thoughts and emotions through language, communicate effectively with others, and build meaningful relationships through mutual understanding. I always focus on each learner’s individual language development and personal interests, ensuring that every lesson is both engaging and relevant. Because I believe that each learner’s Korean proficiency and preferred learning style are equally important, I tailor the pace and structure of my lessons to suit their abilities. When a student has a particular learning method that works best for them, I do my best to incorporate it to maximize their progress and confidence. I teach Korean using the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach, which focuses on helping learners use the language naturally and effectively in real-life situations. My lessons are structured in three stages to build both linguistic and cultural competence: 🕐 Class Structure 15 minutes: Grammar explanation and examples 10 minutes: Vocabulary introduction and practice 10 minutes: Sentence building and pattern drills 20 minutes: App...

I have been studying Korean with teacher Soo-Young Kim for about two years and truly appreciate every lesson with her. She is kind, patient, well prepared and explains grammar very clearly. She always answers my questions and makes sure I really understand the material. Her lessons are structured, enjoyable and encouraging. Thanks to her teaching, my Korean has improved a lot over time. I am very grateful for her support and can wholeheartedly recommend her. Ich lerne seit etwa zwei Jahren Koreanisch mit Lehrerin Soo-Young Kim und schätze jede Unterrichtsstunde mit ihr sehr. Sie ist freundlich, geduldig, immer gut vorbereitet und erklärt Grammatik klar und verständlich. Sie beantwortet alle Fragen und sorgt dafür, dass man den Stoff wirklich versteht. Ihr Unterricht ist gut strukturiert, angenehm und motivierend. Dank ihres Unterrichts hat sich mein Koreanisch im Laufe der Zeit deutlich verbessert. Ich bin sehr dankbar für ihre Unterstützung und kann sie von Herzen weiterempfehlen.

I'm learning a lot of Korean having fun, and even when I don't get something, Professor Kim always explains it to me in a joyful and clear way, until I fully understand. I'm so glad I have the opportunity to study and learn this wonderful language with useful tools (such as exercises, homework and different materials) and a capable guide. I've completed less than 10 lessons and I'm already seing improvement. I would recommend her to anyone willing to build solid language skills and a comprehension of the mechanisms of Korean language.

I’ve been learning Korean with professor Kim for almost two months, and I’m really happy with my lessons so far. She creates a very comfortable atmosphere and is always patient when I struggle with something. I really like her teaching style, as the lessons are well organized with plenty of example sentences and excersices. She explains things in a simple and understandable way and is always happy to answer my questions. I’m looking forward to continuing my learning journey with her and I definitely recommend her!

선생님 김 uses an immersive method that models Korean language patterns and grammar structure and makes you speak, read, and interact with the Korean language. She uses a lot of repetition to maximize practice and provides immediate feedback, creating the framework for natural conversations. Her slides are very clear and her videos at the end of class slows you to review the class content at your own pace. She goes over the homework with you so that you understand errors. Her methodology is based on active and communicative learning. And above all, she is very patient! I have made a lot of progress since I started, all of a sudden the grammar started to click. Now I feel that I understand more and more. I highly recommend this teacher.
