Hello! I'm Hoyeon. I live on Geoje Island in South Korea. I used to work as a software engineer, and now I work as a Korean tutor. Language learning has always been one of my hobbies. Because of that interest, and for a few different reasons along the way, I eventually started teaching Korean. When we learn a language, I don't think we are creating something completely new. Most of the time, we are recalling and reusing phrases or sentences we have heard or used before. That's why I focus on repetition. My job is to find ways to make that repetition effective without making it boring. Each student receives homework tailored to their needs, including high-quality personalized audio recordings. With this homework, students can practice reading, writing, and listening together. We can choose a reference textbook if needed, but it is not required. <Attendance Policy> • No-show: No refund. • Last-minute cancellation: If you cancel within 6 hours of the lesson, 50% of the lesson fee will be charged. • If you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson, please do so directly through the italki system. There is no need to wait for my confirmation, and doing so promptly helps avoid missing the cancellation window. • In most cases, I will accept rescheduling or cancellation requests made at least 6 hours before the lesson. • Please be considerate when making changes to your schedule. Frequent last-minute changes make it difficult for other students to book available lesson times.

Native Korean speaker who can teach you the real Korean we use in real life! 저는 한국인이라 한국어가 유창한 건 물론이지만, 공무원이 되는 시험을 치르기 위해 국어 공부도 했었답니다. 그리고 다문화가정의 아이를 위한 멘토 프로그램에도 참여하여서 한국어도 가르쳐주고, 한국의 문화를 잘 익힐 수 있도록 도와주는 일도 했었어요. 그래서 어떤 연령층이든, 어떤 수준의 한국어를 구사하든 열심히 가르칠 자신이 있답니다! Not only am I a native Korean speaker, I studied Korean on a deeper level, as it was required for a government job I had when I was living in Korea. Also I participated in a mentoring program for a non-Korean speaking family before and I taught Korean and Korean culture to the children who couldn't learn from their parents. Because of this, I can teach all ages and levels.

From your first Hangul letter to advanced, critical discussion. Hello, I'm Eujin. What I enjoy most in teaching Korean is something beyond the language itself — every learner brings their own way of thinking, their own experiences, their own way of sensing and learning. I keep learning something new from that. I majored in fine arts and media criticism. I've also had the privilege of learning English, Mandarin, Thai, and Sign Language while moving between China and Thailand. Those experiences pushed me to sit with the friction between a hunger for critical conversation and discourse, and the limits of whatever language I was learning at the time. That struggle and friction is what I teach from. Whether you're starting from your very first Hangul letter or already deep into Korean, the work is the same: we build your Korean out of your own life — your work, your routines, the things you actually need to say — and, as you go further, use a critical question, a text, or an image as a trigger to discuss society, art, industry, and your own field. So however far along you are, I'll meet you as someone already thinking and critiquing your way through an entirely new language system.

😃To touch the mind, invariably we must first touch the heart; learning Korean is no different.👌 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'm a patient teacher. while I was teaching Korean, I helped my students to speak more. For me, Speaking is the most important thing in learning a language. As your Korean level is getting better, You might feel that " I know Korean vocabulary, grammar but still am not satisfied with speaking in Korean. As an English learner, I have been there too. To get over this, I tried to meet native speakers or tutoring in Italki. As a tutor, I will make you speak a lot in Korean.
