“Teachers can make such a profound impact on our lives and should be honored as heroes.” — Rainn Wilson Learning Korean with Soona has had an incredibly positive benefit on my life. Good teachers are truly one of the most beautiful things in life. She is a great teacher. And if you want to take your Korean language skills to the next level, this is the perfect person to help you get there. I’ve had many teachers throughout my life. Soona is definitely in my top five favorite teachers ever!! Learning a new language, like Korean can be very tough, especially for English speakers. She will help you learn to pronounce every syllable. She will be very patient with you. She has the ability to explain things in a way that is easy to understand and digest. She is a great teacher. It’s time to take your Korean skills to the next level. And this is the tutor you need to do it.

Soona is an amazing teacher! I've now had lessons with her for almost a year and I went from barely being able to string together a sentence to talking about all kinds of interesting topics. She is incredibly flexible, fun, good at explaining concepts and also giving you exercises that allow you to apply those concepts immediately. I'm currently doing her writing challenge, which I can also highly recommend. There's new topics all the time, so you constantly have to learn about new words and sayings in order to get your point across. It's been a big part of expanding my vocabulary/improving my grammar and it has really helped me gain confidence when producing sentences. The feedback is great because you get grammatical/semantical corrections as well as more native-like alternative suggestions that you can learn from.

The joy you will feel working with Soona will be some of the best moments you’ve ever had learning a new language! She is patient and kind. She knows how to keep you motivated. She makes learning a new language, lots of fun. And she knows the best ways to teach you. This is teaching at its best. You don’t want to pick just any tutor. You want the best of the best. So pick Soona! You can thank me later! 😉

Taking classes with my Korean teacher has been an incredible experience. Even though life gets busy at times and also the time change in Europe during winter sometimes makes scheduling challenging, just one class with her always leads to significant improvement. Her patience and encouragement create a comfortable learning environment, and her ability to smoothly correct my sentences without discouraging me truly sets her apart. I feel so lucky to have her as my teacher—she has made learning Korean enjoyable and effective for me. I wish italki had a “Teacher of the Year” award because she absolutely deserves recognition for her outstanding teaching. If such an award existed, I’m confident she would win not just prizes but also the appreciation she deserves for her dedication and skill. Thank you for being the best teacher I could have hoped for!

She is a great teacher and a beautiful human being. If you wanna learn Korean from the best tutor available. This is the one you want.

It's been a while since I practiced Korean so Soona was very patient with me and adjusted her teaching to match my level very well. Her English is very good and she customized her teaching to my learning goals. I appreciate the teaching materials she provided me as well.
