Real Conversation with a friendly Hongdae, Seoul Tutor ▶ Hello! I'm Hae Jin, a Korean tutor who currently lives in Hongdae/Hapjeong area of Seoul. I majored in Economics at Sogang University in Sinchon and worked in the finance department of a large corporation in Yeouido for 18 years. (If you're interested in Business Korean, I believe I can help you.) ▶ Before our first lesson, I'll ask you to fill out a Google forem about your interests, goals, and current Korean level so that I can provide lessons tailored specifically to your needs. ▶ I’d also like to share something with you about learning a foreign language. I believe that the most important thing in language learning is comprehensible input. That’s why I encourage you to study reading, vocabulary, and grammar on your own as consistently as possible. Please try to make studying a regular routine and habit. Even if your progress feels slow at times, don’t get discouraged. If you keep studying consistently, you’re already doing a great job. ▶ If you're not sure what to study, we can work through "Talk to me in Korean" series together, step by step. Of course, we won't rely on textbooks alone. We'll also use K-drama, K-pop, Youtube videos, Korean news in our lessons. ▶ Also, don’t be afraid to make mistakes. It's ok if you make mistakes. I'll guide you along the way. The more you understand, the easier speaking becomes. My goal is to help you turn your knowledge into real communication skills. ▶ Let’s learn natural, real-life Korean together in a relaxed atmosphere.

🇰🇷 Certified Korean Tutor | Clear Pronunciation & Practical Conversations 🗣✨ 🇰🇷 Hi! I'm Bom, a native Korean speaker from Seoul. I worked at a Korean company for over 15 years, so the Korean I teach is what people actually use: at work, at cafés, in everyday life. I'm certified in teaching Korean to foreigners, and I teach in English, Portuguese, and Korean. In my lessons: 🗣️ Pronunciation from day one, with detailed correction. 💬 Real dialogues you can use this week. 🧠 Learning to think in Korean instead of translating in your head. 🎧 Into K-pop or K-dramas? Then that's what we'll talk about, in Korean. If you know the rules but freeze when it's time to speak, that's exactly what we'll fix. Book a trial lesson and let's talk in Korean. 😊 ------------- 🇰🇷 Oi! Sou a Bom, coreana de Seul. Trabalhei mais de 15 anos em uma empresa coreana. Por isso o coreano que ensino é o que se fala de verdade: no trabalho, no café, no dia a dia. Não só o dos livros. Sou certificada no ensino de coreano para estrangeiros e dou aulas em português, inglês e coreano. Nas minhas aulas: 🗣️ Pronúncia desde o dia 1. Corrijo os detalhes que ninguém corrige, até você soar natural. 💬 Conversação real: diálogos que você vai usar na mesma semana. 🧠 Pensar em coreano, sem traduzir na cabeça antes de falar. 🎧 Fã de K-pop ou K-drama? Então a gente conversa sobre isso, em coreano. Falar do que você ama é o jeito mais rápido de aprender. Você sabe a regra, mas trava na hora de falar? É exatamente isso que a gente resolve.😊

Learn REAL Korean, Not Textbook Phrases — with My Original Worksheets 🇰🇷✨ I began teaching by helping Korean students who struggled with English. Many of them were not only weak in the language but also felt fear and pressure whenever they studied. Through steady guidance, I helped them rebuild confidence step by step. Those experiences made me realize that language learning is not just about grammar or scores—it is about confidence and support. I don’t force one method on everyone. Instead, I try to understand each learner and guide them clearly and patiently. My role is not just to correct, but to encourage and help students feel confident in their language journey. I bring the same values into my Korean lessons today.

Professor at Jeonju University | PhD | 30+ Years Teaching | Literature & Culture Approach Hi, I'm Professor Hwang Chee Bok. I don't just speak Korean — I think and argue in it at the highest scholarly level. As a professor in the Department of English Language Education (English Education / applied linguistics) at Jeonju University, South Korea, I've taught for over 30 years. I hold a Ph.D. in English Literature from Konkuk University, specializing in American Literature — particularly John Steinbeck. My dissertation examined Steinbeck's novels and their film adaptations, and I've published 50+ academic papers in Korean-indexed (KCI) journals — all written in sophisticated academic Korean. As a native Korean speaker with deep expertise in linguistics and language education, I help you learn Korean in a way that truly makes sense — going beyond literal meanings to the feelings underneath, how Koreans think, feel, and express culture through language. Every lesson so far has earned a 5.0 rating with 100% attendance. Students describe each lesson as carefully crafted for their goals, never reused from a template — flexible enough for complete beginners through advanced learners alike. My lessons are structured, patient, and tailored to your level and goals. Read deep, speak well. I look forward to meeting you in class!

Certified Korean teacher with 10 years' experience - I have 12 years of teaching experience. - I have been teaching foreign learners Korean for 5 years. - I love to help my students learn Korean and I find a teaching job very rewarding. I see many students feel embarrassed when they make mistakes. You might use broken grammar and vocabulary while learning, but that's very normal. Even though you make some mistakes, trying to saying what you want to express definitely helps to improve your Korean skills. As for me, I’m now learning Spanish and still trying to improve my English. So I totally understand how difficult learning a new language can be. But I also think learning a new language is one of the most wonderful hobbies!
