Hi! My name is Heeyoung and I was born and raised in Korea. Now, I live in France with my son, where I'm learning to root myself and it is both a challenge and joy to learn another language.
Having lived outside my home country for almost half of my life, I deeply relate to those who are going through a similar experience. Although I'm most passionate about education and art, I'm also curious about many subjects and different ways of living.
Ik als leerkracht
My goal is to help you connect more deeply and personally with the Korean language and culture in a way that fits your needs and interests.
We’ll be a great match if you
- want a tutor experienced with beginners who can slow down and meet you at your pace
- build speaking skills through diverse topics and contexts
- immerse in Korean, with clear English explanations when needed
- want your learning to be practical, relevant and meaningful
- love exploring languages, cultures, and identities
- live abroad and are finding your place
- have a Korean partner and want to deepen your connection
- are a parent who values discussions on childcare or raising a multilingual child
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My lessons focus on everyday conversation and speaking. We’ll cover grammar and vocabulary, but with minimal lecture—you’ll spend most of the class actively using Korean.
You'll make your own sentences, and I'll guide you through struggles and help you take the next small steps. It's okay to be shy, slow, or feel embarrassed—that's completely normal! I'm here to support you so you can become more confident, active, and independent.
I also offer a range of exercises and homework to help you develop reading, listening, and writing skills as well. To learn more about what and how I teach, please read the course descriptions below.

Heeyoung 선생님 is a great teacher!
Thanks to her help and patience, I can now communicate simple messages in Korean, and read Korean characters (which was not successful for a long time without her). Among all her good qualities as a teacher, I especially appreciate her for adjusting the learning pace for me and making sure that I can use what I learned before moving on. Her grammar explanation is also very clear and easy to understand. It’s helpful that she understands the difference between Korean grammar and English grammar (and Japanese grammar) from her teaching and learning experience, and knows what Korean learners find difficult.
英語ができる日本人の方にもおすすめの先生です。

Heeyoung really is a great teacher. Yes she is patient, engaging, encouraging, and all the good stuff any teacher should have, but what I feel sets her apart is that she is totally genuine and down-to-earth as a person. You can tell she honestly cares about her students progress and reaching their language goals. I could feel it in her intro video, which is ultimately what led me to scheduling lessons with her and I wasn't disappointed. And neither will you be!

My lessons with Heeyoung are always fun and interesting. Whether it is a grammar lesson or free talking, our lessons are helpful, and I always feel comfortable speaking Korean and making mistakes 🙊 my speaking confidence has grown significantly since I started lessons with Heeyoung. The content is fun, and Heeyoung really makes an effort to get to know you and your interests so that we talk about things of interest to myself. It really feels like I’m just talking to a friend at times, making it feel even more natural and more ‘fun’ than feeling like a ‘chore’ having a lesson. 감사합니다 선생님
