MiJin

Today, we talked about the different characteristics of ideal jobs, a lesson focused on speaking that was prepared for me because I requested a little more emphasis on speaking than the traditional textbooks give. I'm thankful that Mijin has been customizing my lessons and helping me every step of the way!

It is not easy to find a great tutor when you reach intermediate-advanced level in Korean. Especially one who can combine general learning and test prep. I have been wandering around on platforms for quite some time, but 미진 선생님 appears to be really knowledgeable and helpful. She can provide a structured academic teaching including textbook study enriched with personal notes to make sure everything is understood, while creating a nice atmosphere where I could be myself. Also, when explaining grammar, she doesn’t just stick to the structure explanation but expands it to real life context and makes sure you can reuse it in conversation, adding some natural options to use in daily life. As a language tutor, I can confidently say 미진 선생님 is probably the teacher you have been looking for.

우리 수업은 매우 즐겁다. 미진선생님이 나에게 문법과 어휘를 꼼꼼하게 설명해주고 많은 격려를 해준다.

Today we reviewed how to compare two subjects using 부다, and then learned how to use 제일 and 중에서 to express preferences within groups. My 선생님 continues to be helpful and encouraging, even when I forget basic grammar principles and misspell words. I'm finally at a point where I can have basic conversations and I honestly never thought I could get to this point in my learning. I've tried many different ways of learning Korean, but have found that having a solid private tutor has helped me grow exponentially and kept me accountable in my Korean language journey. I've grown so much over the course of a few months and would highly recommend her to anyone who is new to learning Korean!

MiJin continues to provide great lessons for me! She is always patient, understanding, and wanting to help.

I continue to enjoy taking lessons with MiJin. She's been happy to adapt to requests that I've made to try and make my lessons even more useful for me and, as always, is patient and pleasant during our lesson times.
