If you want a patient and caring teacher then this is the one for you. Dong-gyu puts in huge amounts of effort in preparation for each class, and is understanding even if the student is having a idiot day. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Donggyu is hands down one of the BEST teachers on italki. 👍🏼 What I deeply appreciate about my lessons with him is that he explains things in a calm way. Never have I ever felt embarrassed to say any sentence in Korean, even though I make lots of mistakes. It is truly rare to find a teacher who cares about you and about your progress and Donggyu certainly is that gem. 💎 빤짝빤짝 ✨

Teacher Donggyu is a very good teacher who listens to you, and helps to correct your mistakes. Even though it was my first lesson today, I didnt feel pressured and feel very comfortable in class. Looking forward to more lessons. Thank you for today :)

Donggyu is an excellent tutor and will definitely satisfy your learning needs. Classes are really enjoyable and engaging, and most importantly, modelled to fit my pace of studying. Donggyu offers numerous tasks to facilitate memorising new phrases and all the explanations are clear and easy to understand. The tutoring is always carried out in an amiable and supportive atmosphere. Truly recommend.

always funny, and appreciates when to let classes go a little off track and when to be rigid. a very empathetic teacher.

patient as always, despite my idiocy. my continued failure to differentiate 어 and 에 is 100% on me. This teacher couldn't be more encouraging or kind as I butcher his language.
