I had a wonderful first lesson with Professor Hwang. He personalized the materials to my interests and we had a great conversation. I'm really looking forward to our future lessons!

I had a brilliant first lesson with Prof. Hwang. He was very detailed and patient, as I'm still very new to Korean, explaining the meaning behind words and their order in sentences, subject and object distinctions. It was a very enjoyable lesson, and I look forward to learning more in the next one.

Professor Hwang was an outstanding teacher—kind, welcoming, and incredibly easy to talk to from the very beginning. Before our lesson, he took the time to ask about my background, interests, and Korean level, then clearly used that information to create a lesson tailored specifically to me with thoughtfully prepared slides and materials that felt completely personalized rather than reused. Throughout the lesson, he encouraged me to work through exercises on my own, provided helpful corrections and explanations, and always made space for my questions. I learned so much in just one hour, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a patient, engaging, and exceptionally well-prepared Korean teacher.

Professor Hwang was very professional and encouraging in introducing the alphabet and beginner words in Korean. I had to end the lesson early and he was very understanding. Your Korean will progress with him.

​I just had my first Korean lesson with Professor Hwang, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! ​Right from the start, he was incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming, which completely put me at ease. What impressed me the most was his exceptional level of preparation. Even though it was only our first meeting, he had carefully crafted a lesson specifically tailored to my exact needs and goals. ​On top of that, he prepared a wonderfully wide range of engaging topics for us to talk about! The conversation flowed so naturally because he came ready with so many great subjects to discuss. It made the entire lesson feel dynamic, immersive, and perfectly matched to my interests. ​It is rare to find a tutor who is so genuinely nice, patient, and deeply invested in their student's success. If you are looking for a fantastic Korean tutor who comes impeccably prepared and makes learning fun, Professor Hwang is the best choice you could possibly make. Looking forward to our next conversation!

I have had a trial lesson with Professor Hwang and it was really enjoyable. We had a short dialogue about my level and goals and then we proceeded with a dialogue based on a prepared powerpoint. I was asked to read and create some stories using the material as a basis. In the end, we discussed a little bit more about my goals and what future classes could like. It was a comfortable and engaging class!
