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. 🐶

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.

Another really fun lesson with Yena 선생님! I really like the structure of the lessons. I learn both grammar and vocabulary while practicing speaking. I've only had 3 lessons with her so far but have already learned a lot. She gives a vocabulary document that she updates with each lesson, shares the material from the class with notes, and gives homework. It is very comprehensive and I recommend her for intermediate students like me who are trying to really strengthen their Korean skills to be more natural and, one day, achieve fluency.

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!
