👋 Learn Korean with Jiae – Fun, Personalised & Practical 🇰🇷✨
Hi! I’m Jiae, a native Korean tutor from Busan, now living in Berlin. I’ve helped 100+ students speak Korean with confidence – from beginners learning Hangul to advanced learners working on fluency and expression.
🎯 What you get with me:
Lessons tailored to your goals (travel, K-dramas, TOPIK, daily conversation – you name it!)
A mix of grammar, speaking, culture & real-life Korean
A fun, relaxed vibe where asking questions is encouraged!
I have a background in education and politics and I’m now doing a PhD in Political Science – so I love meaningful conversations and can bring cultural depth to your learning.Me as a Teacher
I have a degree in Early Childhood Education 👶👧 and loved teaching and playing with kids and teens back in South Korea. That experience taught me how to keep learning fun, patient, and personalised – and I bring that same energy to my Korean lessons! 💬✨
I’ve taught 100+ amazing students from around the world, and I’m excited to help you speak Korean with confidence. Whether you're shy or super chatty, beginner or advanced – you're always welcome! 🙌

I really like working with Jiae! Whenever I tell her about my concerns or what I’m struggling with she always makes sure to structure our lesson around that! It’s super helpful

I’ve been having lessons with 지애 선생님 for just over three months now and I would definitely recommend to anyone serious about improving their Korean. She is very diligent and If there’s something you’re struggling with she’s very good at explaining it in a number of ways until you understand! I feel much more confident using advanced grammars now and I’m looking forward to our future lessons!!!:)
