Hello, my name is Hoyeon. I majored in computer science and worked as a software engineer at an electronics company.
Realizing how fulfilling it could be to understand and teach languages, I studied Korean language education online and started teaching Korean on italki. I never imagined I would make it this far, but I'm glad I'm on the right track and enjoying every moment of it.
When it comes to learning languages, I believe we can learn more naturally by reusing and reorganizing sentences or phrases we've heard before. It's all about repetition.
I rarely leave reviews. If there's something I need to tell my students, I address it during class. Thank you.

Я как преподаватель
Attendance Policy, and Criteria
No-show, No Refund:
If a student doesn't show up on time without prior notice, I can wait for 20 minutes. After this, it will be considered a no-show, and the lesson fee will be fully charged. In the case of my no-show, the credit will be returned, and the next lesson will be free of charge.
Rescheduling:
Rescheduling through the italki system is always OK. You don't need to ask me.
Cancellation:
If you want to cancel the lesson at least 3 hours before the class time, I'll accept it. However, if the request is sent within 3 hours before the lesson time, half of the lesson fee will be charged.
Age Restriction:
I do not teach children or students under 18.
Мои уроки и стиль преподавания
I usually speak English when teaching beginners. However, when we focus on our target expressions or goals, I try to use as much Korean as possible. I can use six different series of textbooks, but if there are no specific requests, I stick to one or two series that I find most effective.
Feel free to message me if there are specific textbooks you want to study. Of course, I can teach without textbooks. In this case, my lesson notes will be the most important study materials.
I don't provide discounts for lesson packages, but you can request to terminate a package at any time without any explanation. I'll accept it without asking any questions.
we just started but i am happy of the way the instructor conducts the class

As always, 선생님 and me had good conversations including the grammar points which I am recently working on and he is explaining everything patiently and well. It’s always enjoyable for me and I am already looking forward to my next lesson :)

I’m really enjoying learning Korean, and I can clearly see how much progress I’ve made since starting. The lessons are thoughtfully prepared and designed to stretch me just enough – challenging but never overwhelming – which keeps me motivated. There’s a great balance between reading, speaking, listening, vocabulary, and grammar, and the homework is always varied and reinforces what we’ve covered.
I really appreciate is how personalised each session is. They match my level of understanding and aim to improve the areas where I’m struggling, and the lesson content is adjusted accordingly. I never feel like we’re just going through a textbook – it’s all tailored to help me improve and gain confidence. The explanations are always clear, and I feel comfortable asking questions, even when I’m unsure or make mistakes (of which I make quite a few!)
I’ve noticed that my confidence in speaking has grown a lot, and I’m starting to understand more and more. I always look forward to my lessons.
