1⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐시니시니 Shinnie

I appreciate Shinnie’s patience and his creative way of explaining how and why grammar and sentence structure is used. I am also grateful for his constant reminders to avoid overthinking and stick to the formula that works. More and more I am getting comfortable with thinking in the language instead of trying to remember or guess at what I want to say. The stress I felt in the beginning when I was trying to use the Korean I thought I knew is gone. I realize that I didn’t learn anything really useful before I started taking lessons with Shinnie. I am relieved to see how he is moving me forward without feeling like I have to make it past a certain level. Knowing that there are no levels removes a lot of pressure. The resource, his encyclopedia, is priceless because it is so thorough and I always have access to it. I am more confident because Shinnie is giving me the language tools that will lead me to independently conversation in Korean.

I have been having lessons with Shinne for a year now. Shinnie is patient, respectful and passionate about his students learning. When I thought I wasn’t progressing he showed me how much I have learned and helped restore my confidence. Shinnie has taught me how to study successfully again using his proven methods and my self-confidence has grown. I know Shinnnie teaches people with ADHD, stuttering, mental illnesses, and disabilities as I have some of these conditions. However, he has never discriminated against me and has been truly dedicated to my Korean learning. I have tried learning with other Korean teachers who have given me false compliments which I did not find productive. Shinnie has helpfully pointed out attitudes or habits that have hindered my progress and he is always honest about my skills and goals. You can trust him and just follow his guidance—without overthinking or false delusions. Shinnie is an excellent, top rate teacher. If I can do it, you can too.

The Korean lesson today was fun and very informative. Shinnie makes his lessons interesting and fun to attend.

I just came back yesterday from a 3 week trip to Korea from 14 June till yesterday. I am very thankful for every lesson I had with Shinnie. I only started studying learning Korean with him for 9 months, however I been doing so good in Korean as he is very honest and he corrects my regression. Thanks to Shinnie now I could speak Korean very well so I didn’t face any major language barriers in Korea. During the trip I free talked to lots of Taxi drivers for like 70% of the ride in Korean using the precious skills I gained from 9 months of classes with Shinnie that teaches free talk, grammar, words. More than 25 people in Korea during the 3 weeks praised my Korean. One even question whether I lived in Korea for very long or I had a Korean mother. I formed many connections in Korea due to my Korean skills. I went outside of tourists areas such as Seoul and Busan and I went to Korean countryside and I got praised there. If I couldn’t spoke Korean I wouldn’t be able to venture out of Seoul.

시니씨’s way of teaching makes Korean feel much easier and more approachable. He is very good at identifying what has been holding me back from progressing and knows exactly how to adjust his teaching to help me move forward. He always makes studying Korean fun and engaging, which keeps me motivated and curious. His strategy has helped me so much that after just a few lessons, I already feel that I understand more than I ever did before. I honestly wish I had started lessons with him years ago, because his teaching is truly worth it and has completely changed the way I experience learning Korean.

Since I stopped clinging to old learning patterns and truly started listening to 시니씨’s guidance, studying Korean has become much easier and more effective. I can clearly feel the difference in my progress, and his explanations and strategy work extremely well. He knows how to guide students in a practical and efficient way, encouraging real understanding rather than just memorization. This shift has given me more confidence in my studies. 시니씨 truly is a great teacher, and I am very grateful for his guidance.
