What I love🤍
▪️traveling
I’ve lived and worked in Vancouver, Canada for 3 years, and even guided tours in Spain for a year. I’ve visited over 15 countries. I'm a real travel bug who loves meeting new people!
▪️cultural activities
I enjoy listening to music and watching dramas and musicals. I love finding creative ways to connect Korean learning with real life through songs, shows, or stories. 🌿
▪️animals
I have two adorable dogs who always keep me busy. they make my days full of little tasks, but they’re just too lovely to resist. 🐶
Ik als leerkracht
I have over 10 years of experience teaching English to Korean students.
My background as a language teacher helps me explain grammar and pronunciation in an easy and supportive way.
While living in Canada for three years, I shared Korean language and culture with my friends, which sparked my interest in teaching Korean.

Speaking with Yena 선생님 is very comfortable and the material she prepares is relevant to my interests and is suitable to my level and learning needs. I have really enjoyed my lessons with her and would recommend her to students that are looking not only to improve their speaking but for more well-rounded classes that cover vocabulary and grammar too. Thank you 선생님~!

I really enjoy my lessons with 예나 씨!
The atmosphere in class is always extremely friendly and motivating. Yena explains grammatical concepts very clearly and pays attention to my pronunciation. I really like the pace of the lessons - there is an excellent balance between commenting/talking and moving on to the next exercise. This is not easy to achieve and I value it a lot.
If your goal is to learn Korean, don't hesitate to contact Yena!

We covered so much in today's class. Because of time zone differences I am only able to take one lesson a week with Yena 선생님 but so much is provided in the lessons that once weekly is sufficient. I already have plenty to review from our lessons and I know both the vocabulary and grammar I am learning in her class will really level up my Korean skills.

Yena was so friendly and patient with me! I sometimes am very nervous speaking in a different language, but she helped me feel comfortable and made me want to continue speaking. Thanks so much Yena!

I love that I am learning both vocabulary and grammar with Yena 선생님, in addition to practicing speaking. Her classes are fun and she speaks very softly and doesn't rush you or the class so it is a very relaxed atmosphere. I definitely recommend her!

I am really enjoying my weekly classes with Yena 선생님! She gives a really good balance of speaking practice and learning new vocabulary/grammar. The material she creates for her classes is always so well done and engaging, and I appreciate the documents she sends after class even if I don't always have time to complete the homework I still go back and review the material when I have time and it is very helpful. I definitely recommend her!
