Maria Kim

If you tell Maria쌤 that you want to speak like a seriously real korean, she will do everything to help you! i really want to get my pronunciation in check, and so she does a great job in stopping me, making me speak slower and really speak like a true Korean. it's not easy and even tho im not perfect, im glad to get constant feedback.

Great as always, I don't just learn Korean, I learn about Korean Culture. Maria is a fantastic teacher and better person.

Italki just stopped working near the end of the lesson.

I can't believe that it has already been 9 months with Maria! Honestly, I see her more than I hang out with my friends lol! I regularly surprise myself with how much I remember every time I'm in lesson thanks to Maria's style of teaching! In my recent lessons, Maria has been correcting my pronunciation, so that I can speak Korean without too much of an accent. She makes me feel respected by challenging me. I cannot even count how many times I have had to repeat sentences until I get the nuances of the pronunciation just right, but Maria knows that I thrive on it! I cannot recommend her enough!

I have had two lessons with Teacher Maria. I love her enthusiasm. She is so patient and makes the lessons very enjoyable.

We are working on a dialogue that I wrote and need to speak in a class. She is helping so much with my pronunciation and how written language is different than spoken language!
