The trial lesson is for the student to get to know the instructor and see if they would be a good fit for learning Korean, and also for the instructor to check the student’s current Korean level and prepare their lessons to perfectly match the student’s needs. I look forward to meeting you!

    - Traveling
    - Small talk (weather, daily life, recent news)
    - Special experiences and memories

Advanced(Writing, Speaking, Comprehension, Discussion)

This certificate proves that I successfully completed an online training program for Korean Language teachers at Seoul National University.

I taught Korean to foreign students at a range of classes (Basic, Intermediate, Advanced). I also taught TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean) classes.

I taught Korean to foreign employees at Samsung SDS (Singapore) in a corporate-sponsored Korean class.
