Speak Korean from Your First Lesson | Learn by Using, Not Memorizing Hello! 😊 I'm Young from South Korea. I'm a certified Korean language teacher with a Korean Teacher Certificate and the Cambridge CELTA qualification. I help learners start speaking Korean from their very first lesson. Instead of spending your lesson memorizing vocabulary and grammar, you'll spend your lesson using Korean through guided speaking practice. Every lesson includes plenty of opportunities to speak, so by the end of class, you may surprise yourself with how much Korean you can already say. Whether you're a complete beginner or already studying Korean, lessons are tailored to your level and goals to help you build confidence through real communication. In our first lesson, we'll check your level, practice speaking together, and create a learning plan that works for you. Let's start speaking Korean today! 😊

A Certified Korean Teacher / Teaching Korean Online since 2017 / Recommendations Letter for GKS I am a professional Korean teacher with over a decade of experience. I began teaching in 2011 during an exchange program in Tanzania, where I volunteered at a Hangeul school. Helping children read and write Korean was a refreshing experience that sparked my passion for teaching. Later, while traveling through Southeast Asia, I met many people captivated by K-pop and K-dramas. Seeing their joy in communicating with a native speaker made me realize how language can bridge cultures. These moments inspired me to become a professional tutor, and I have been teaching on italki since 2017. To me, teaching Korean is a wonderful way to connect with the world and empower students.

Learn Korean Grammar through stories - with a tutor who learned Japanese in English! Hello! Nice to meet you! I am a native Korean speaker and I studied Japanese through English at SOAS University of London. Because I've walked the exact same path of learning a foreign language in a cross cultural environment, I know exactly where you might get stuck, and I am here to help you! I believe that learning a language through full sentences is the most important method. So, we're going to learn Korean grammar through stories. Also, shadow speaking is extremely important, so I'll send you an audio recording of each story when we finish it so you can practice listening and speaking! I am a highly responsible person. In fact, my biggest fear is not delivering a lesson that is worth your time and money. Even though I am relatively new to online tutoring, I am fully committed to dedicatedly tracking your progress alongside my own growth as a teacher. I am very excited to share my language journey with you and help you achieve your goals. Plus, as my specialized grammar courses are ready, I will be rolling them out, so make sure to stay tuned! Let's get started! Thank you.

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.

(Please see "About Me" section) My native language is Korean and I learned English as I live in the US. Learning a language is not just about knowing how to read, write or speak, but to embrace the culture and the history. I think of it as a long journey or a marathon, but while having lots of fun along the way. Just as a journey or a marathon has a destination and a finish line, we do need consistency and endurance as well as short and long-term goals. Everyone is unique - that makes this journey or marathon interesting!

    I enjoy the lessons with Taejeong a lot! He is kind, patient, and approachable. His lessons keep me motivated to continue learning Korean. As I had already studied Korean, he had me take a level test before the first lesson. This helped him understand my level, and tailor the lessons to my skills and learning goals. His explanations of the Chinese character roots of words are extremely helpful. I will always remember the difference between 요리 and 유리, or the meaning of 도서관 and 서점 thanks to his explanations.

    민 선생님 is an incredible teacher! I especially appreciate the effort she puts into preparing the lesson materials. She always prepares lesson materials that are tailored to my needs and interests. She carefully organizes and highlights useful expressions and vocabulary from videos, which has helped me understand how to use Korean naturally in real-life situations. During our lessons, she guides me in creating my own sentences using the new vocabulary and expressions, which has been incredibly helpful for remembering and actually applying what I learn. She also sends the materials to me before each class, which gives me time to prepare for the lesson. She is also very detail-oriented and identifies areas where I need improvement, especially with certain grammar points and my pronunciation. Thanks to 민 선생님, I have become much more confident in Korean and have even started using Korean in my music work. I highly recommend 민 선생님!
