라온 (Raon)

She is a very thorough teacher! She takes the time to make sure you're pronouncing the letters correctly and provides helpful explanations when you aren't getting it right. I didn't feel that she ever thought "good enough", she took the time to keep reinforcing the right way and fixing my mistakes. She also uses a free textbook that you can follow along so she isn't just typing everything as she goes. You can follow along and study after lessons. Thank you!

My lessons with 은회 선생님 have all been invaluable and enjoyable. She clearly explains concepts and provides numerous examples. She is also somewhat strict in correcting mistakes, which is very helpful for improving quickly. She always creates a comfortable atmosphere and allows students to take their time and encourages them to finish their thoughts and sentences. She also always checks in to make sure I understood her explanations. She adapts the lessons to the students' requests and always makes full use of the lesson time. 선생님, 정말 감사합니다! 선생님과 함께 계속 배우고 싶어요 ^^

It was a great lesson! 선생님 made me talk a lot and we shared an interesting conversation. I'm impressed how structured and useful all the materials that 선생님 provided. 선생님, 감사합니다! 재미있었고 잘 배웠어요~

라온 선생님 최고예요! 라온 선생님의 teaching style is great for anyone who truly wants to learn Korean and is ready to put in the effort. She’s very professional and kind, and she knows how to push you out of your comfort zone in the best way. She always encourages you to keep going, even when things get a bit tough. And even if you think you wouldn’t be able to understand a sentence in Korean, you’ll be amazed by how much you actually understand by the end of each lesson. I genuinely recommend her with all my heart. 감사합니다, 선생님! 앞으로도 재미있는 수업 함께 해요. 💛

I am so grateful for her patience and determination to make sure I understand.

Today's lesson consisted of reading an article in Korean and then discussing the topics in the article. I very much enjoyed this format because it not only allowed me to practice my reading but allowed me to engage with the material in Korean and formulate my own thoughts about it. As always, I especially appreciate that 은희 선생님 encourages and gives me the time to try to formulate my thoughts, even if it takes a few tries and a few pauses. It also made me think about a new topic I had never considered in this way before :) I never enjoyed literature class during school because I thought I already knew everything the text was telling me because I understood the words. But now, learning a new language, I am starting to see how important it is to spend a few more minutes trying to understand the intent of the author, not just the words. This discovery is only motivating me more to read an entire book in Korean one day! 선생님께서 이런 모티베이션을 해주셔서 너무 감사합니다!!
