Relaxed and patient Korean tutor with 2,000+ hours of experience. I'll make Korean your language! Patience is one of my greatest strengths as a tutor. If students don't remember what I've explained before, would I become frustrated and judge them harshly? Absolutely NOT! It's perfectly normal to forget things and take time to learn something thoroughly. As a passionate language learner, I've faced challenges in learning English and French. Therefore, I deeply understand the difficulty of learning a new language and building confidence. I'll help you feel at ease, boost your self-esteem, and eventually, master Korean.

⭐️Education Major | English Academy Teacher | Beaux-Arts Graduate⭐️ Hello! 😊 I’m Yubi, and I’d love to be your Korean tutor! I graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts in France, where I developed my passion for art and creativity. I’m currently studying at a national university of education in Korea, with the dream of becoming both an elementary school teacher and an artist. I currently teach Korean on Preply, as well as English for the Korean SAT (CSAT) and English conversation classes. As an education major, I’ve learned effective teaching methods and learning strategies, which I use to make my lessons clear, practical, and personalized. Since I’ve studied both English and French myself, I understand how challenging learning a foreign language can be. I can explain Korean in both English and French, so even complete beginners can feel comfortable learning with me. Every lesson is tailored to your goals. We can focus on conversation, listening, reading, writing, pronunciation, grammar, or TOPIK preparation. I generally use PDF materials adapted from the Sejong Korean textbooks, along with additional materials and conversation practice based on your level and interests. My lessons are friendly, relaxed, and interactive. I want you to feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and speaking Korean without pressure. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an advanced learner, I’ll do my best to help you improve your Korean and enjoy the learning process. I look forward to meeting you! 🇰🇷💛 See you in class! 😊

10 years of teaching experience on Italki. *Notice: I do not offer group lessons* I have 10 years of teaching experience on Italki and 2 years of teaching experience outside this platform. Hence I have plentiful teaching experience for those who are both beginner and advanced level students. I like to explain as concisely as possible with real-life examples. I am not a strict teacher but I do make sure to give a cyber slap to those who didn't do their homework (just kidding). Instead, I try my best to have fun during the lesson as I know how hard it is to study a foreign language. So, feel free to disappoint me, cause you won't! ;)

여행을 하다가 한국을 좋아하는 많은 친구들을 만나 한국어를 조금씩 알려주게 된 것이 시작이었습니다. 3년 전 남미에 정착하게 되면서 조금 더 많은 친구들에게 한국어를 가르치고자 카페에서 일주일에 한 회의 그룹 수업과 개인 수업을 진행했습니다. I have met a lot of friends who love Korean culture during travelling. After I settled here in Latin America, I wanted to help them out with language skills, so I had 1 group class once a week, and several private classes for 3 years. Currently it is hard to make group classes because of this situation, so I am willing to teach students online.

I like to learn languages from many countries, and I am currently studying English, Japanese and Chinese! Now that I've learned a lot of languages, I know exactly where I'm going to go through difficulties I'll explain it carefully until I understand it!

From Hangeul to Free Talking! | Various Materials & Structured Lessons 저는 한글 읽기, 실제 발음, 받아쓰기, 그리고 한국어 회화를 전문적으로 가르치는 한국어 튜터입니다. 한글 수업은 항상 현재 실력을 정확하게 진단하는 것부터 시작합니다. 한글을 어느 정도 읽을 수 있는 학생도 발음, 받침, 읽기 습관 등 스스로 놓치고 있는 기초가 있는 경우가 많습니다. 저는 이러한 부분을 하나씩 확인하고 보완하여, 탄탄한 기초를 만들 수 있도록 도와드립니다. 실제 한국인이 사용하는 발음으로 정확하게 읽고, 쓰고, 이해하는 것까지 함께 연습합니다. 많은 학생들이 저와 함께 21회의 체계적인 수업을 통해 한글 읽기를 마스터했으며, 스스로 읽고 쓰고 단어를 인식할 수 있는 실력을 갖추게 되었습니다.한국어 회화 수업에서는 제가 말하는 시간보다 학생이 한국어를 말하는 시간이 더 많습니다. 언어는 많이 듣는 것만큼 직접 말하는 것이 중요하다고 생각하기 때문입니다. 저는 학생들이 자신의 생각과 경험을 한국어로 자신 있게 표현할 수 있도록 다양한 질문과 대화를 중심으로 수업을 진행합니다. 실수는 언어를 배우는 과정에서 가장 자연스러운 부분입니다. 부담 없이 말하고, 실수하며, 성장할 수 있는 편안한 분위기를 만드는 것이 제 수업의 가장 큰 목표입니다. 저와의 첫 수업에는 편안한 마음만 가지고 오세요. 현재 실력을 함께 확인하고, 목표에 맞는 가장 효율적인 학습 방법을 찾아드리겠습니다.저는 한글 완전 초보부터 한국어 초급자, 한국 여행을 준비하는 학습자, 교환학생, 어린이와 성인까지 다양한 학생들을 지도해 왔습니다. 모든 수업은 학생의 현재 실력과 목표를 먼저 파악한 후, 개인에게 맞는 학습 계획을 세우는 것부터 시작합니다. 저의 전문 분야는 한글 읽기, 실제 발음, 받아쓰기, 그리고 한국어 회화입니다. 학생마다 어려워하는 부분이 다르기 때문에 부족한 부분을 정확하게 찾아 보완하며, 탄탄한 기초를 바탕으로 자연스럽게 한국어를 사용할 수 있도록 지도합니다.저는 언어는 직접 말할수록 빠르게 성장한다고 믿습니다. 그래서 회화 수업에서는 학생이 적극적으로 참여하고 한국어를 많이 사용할 수 있도록 다양한 질문과 대화를 중심으로 수업을 진행합니다. 또한 편안하고 격려하는 분위기 속에서 실수를 두려워하지 않고 자신 있게 말할 수 있도록 돕습니다. 한글 수업에서는 단순히 글자를 외우는 것이 아니라, 실제 한국어 발음으로 읽고 쓰는 방법을 체계적으로 익힐 수 있도록 지도합니다. 기초가 탄탄해야 이후의 듣기, 말하기, 읽기, 쓰기 실력도 자연스럽게 성장할 수 있다고 생각하기 때문입니다. 많은 학생들은 제 수업을 통해 한글을 스스로 읽고 쓸 수 있는 자신감, 더 자연스러운 발음, 맞춤형 학습, 그리고 한국어로 자신의 생각을 표현하는 자신감을 얻고 있습니다. 학생의 목표와 학습 속도에 맞춘 맞춤형 수업을 제공하기 위해 꾸준히 교수법을 연구하며, 학생이 한국어를 배우는 것을 넘어 실제로 사용할 수 있도록 돕는 것을 가장 중요하게 생각합니다. 시작하고 싶지만 무엇부터 해야 할지 모르겠다면, 첫 레슨에서 레벨을 확인하고 나에게 맞는 학습 방향을 찾아보세요.

Stop freezing, start speaking | Natural Korean + real culture You understand Korean but freeze the moment you try to speak? That's what we fix. 안녕하세요! I'm Minji, a Seoul-based Korean teacher with 10+ years of experience. I hold a Master's in Teaching Korean as a Foreign Language from Yonsei University and taught at Yonsei's Korean Language Institute. I've also created 400+ Korean lessons watched by 400,000+ learners worldwide. We don't just memorize grammar here. You'll learn patterns you can use TODAY and apply them right away to real situations—ordering food, traveling, small talk, work, K-content, or any topic you love. I also weave in the cultural context textbooks skip (gift-giving, drinking etiquette, what's actually polite) so you avoid real-life mistakes. 💬 What lessons look like Natural, practical expressions—not stiff textbook lines You speak from day one; I gently correct and expand what you say Custom materials + full English support Feedback and homework after every lesson 🎥 A comment I'll never forget "I couldn't understand anything from the textbook, but after one lesson with Minji, it finally clicked." Making Korean click is my goal every lesson. 📈 Levels I teach Beginner: Hangul, core vocabulary, survival Korean Intermediate: grammar that sticks, richer speaking, discussion Advanced: news, culture, nuanced expression Prefer structured lessons or relaxed free talking? Either way, I'll meet you where you are. My schedule fills up fast lately—grab a slot and let's get you speaking with confidence! 😊
