Professor at Jeonju University | PhD | 30+ Years Teaching | Literature & Culture Approach Hi, I'm Professor Hwang Chee Bok. I don't just speak Korean — I think and argue in it at the highest scholarly level. As a professor in the Department of English Language Education (English Education / applied linguistics) at Jeonju University, South Korea, I've taught for over 30 years. I hold a Ph.D. in English Literature from Konkuk University, specializing in American Literature — particularly John Steinbeck. My dissertation examined Steinbeck's novels and their film adaptations, and I've published 50+ academic papers in Korean-indexed (KCI) journals — all written in sophisticated academic Korean. As a native Korean speaker with deep expertise in linguistics and language education, I help you learn Korean in a way that truly makes sense — going beyond literal meanings to the feelings underneath, how Koreans think, feel, and express culture through language. Every lesson so far has earned a 5.0 rating with 100% attendance. Students describe each lesson as carefully crafted for their goals, never reused from a template — flexible enough for complete beginners through advanced learners alike. My lessons are structured, patient, and tailored to your level and goals. Read deep, speak well. I look forward to meeting you in class!

Real Korean for Work & Daily Life | 20+ Years of Experience Hello! I’m Erica, your Korean tutor. 😊 I have more than 20 years of professional experience working in the reference library of a Korean media company. Through my career, I have developed a strong understanding of accurate Korean vocabulary, natural expressions, and communication in real-life situations. My goal is to help you learn Korean you can actually use, not just textbook Korean. If you work in Korea or are preparing to work in Korea, we can practice practical Korean for meetings, phone calls, emails, work messages, and conversations with colleagues. If you are not a working professional, we can enjoy free-talking lessons on topics such as travel, food, Korean culture, hobbies, relationships, and daily life. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to express your thoughts naturally in Korean. My lessons are based on organized vocabulary and expression materials, followed by speaking practice and realistic conversations. I’ll also show you more natural expressions when something is grammatically correct but not commonly used by native Korean speakers. Most importantly, I focus on your goals and needs. Whether you want to communicate confidently at work or speak more naturally in everyday life, I’ll help you build practical Korean skills step by step. If you want to learn real Korean you can actually use, I’d love to help you. I look forward to meeting you in class! 😊

✅Knowing the basics well is key to being good at anything, including languages. 🙋♂️안녕하세요, I'm Jin. I have been teaching Korean for 3 years in a Taiwan language institute, and I have been teaching Korean online from 2021 until now. I excel in personalized individual tutoring rather than group classes. I like watching Korean dramas📺 and love singing,🎤 playing guitar,🎸 and drawing.🎨 ✨When you learn Korean, the basic essential Grammar is really important.📜 It's like the blocks you need to build a solid foundation, and it's especially important for any learners wishing to progress to advanced levels. 👉I emphasis on the basics and fundamental grammar of Korean. If you are not from East Asia countries, in fact, Korean will feel very difficult. I think the teacher's role is to effectively let students understand many basic grammars so that they can make up sentences by themselves. 📗So, I use 'Seoul university Korean books' which helps you to understand the grammar structure easily—even English-speaking learners can understand. (It doesn't mean easy XD) 💻During our class, students will practice words and pronunciation, sentences and grammar, and conversations in the textbook, with a small test too. 📢If you're learning Korean by yourself, coming to class once a week will help you get better slowly. If you come twice a week, you'll improve a lot. ✍But if you don't study Korean on your own and only come to class, you'll just stay at the same level. It's more important to study and review by yourself than just coming to class.🎯

韓国在住10年の講師が教えるリアル韓国語🇰🇷 こんにちは、レイです😀 私は韓国に来て10年になる福岡出身の在日コリアンです。韓国語はゼロから勉強を始めてソガン大学の語学学校を卒業し、2016年にTOPIK6級を取得しました。普段は韓国語とテニスの先生をしています。 スポーツと語学は似ていると思います。「好き」「楽しい」が上達の近道であること、継続力と根気強さ、時には退屈な反復練習も必要であることなどです。みなさんの目指す目標へ近づくお手伝いができれば幸いです^^ 💡スケジュールは表示されている時間以外にも可能な場合があります。まずはお気軽にメッセージにてご相談ください^^ ⚠️ 現在、お子様向けのレッスンは行っておりません。 안녕하세요, 레이입니다😀 저는 한국에 온 지 10년 된 후쿠오카 출신 재일교포입니다. 한국어는 기초부터 공부하기 시작해서 서강대학교 어학당을 졸업했고, 2016년에 TOPIK 6급을 취득했습니다. 현재는 한국어와 테니스 강사로 활동하고 있습니다. 스포츠와 외국어 학습은 닮은 점이 많다고 생각합니다. '좋아하는 마음'과 '즐거움'이 실력 향상의 지름길이라는 점, 지속적인 노력과 끈기, 그리고 때로는 지루한 반복 연습도 필요하다는 점 등입니다. 여러분이 목표로 하시는 지점에 가까워질 수 있도록 정성을 다해 도와드리고 싶습니다^^ ⚠️ 현재 어린이 대상 레슨은 진행하지 않고 있습니다. オン・オフラインで韓国語の授業を行った経験があります。 受講生の中には、日本の方が一番多く、その次には、すでに日本語を話せる英語圏の方が、日本語で韓国語を学びたいと連絡をくださるケースもありました。 온·오프라인으로 한국어 수업을 진행한 경험이 있습니다. 수강생 중에는 일본 분들이 가장 많았고, 그다음으로는 이미 일본어를 할 수 있는 영어권 분들이 일본어로 한국어를 배우고 싶다며 연락을 주신 경우도 있었습니다. 授業では、学生さんの希望に合わせて内容を構成しています。必要に応じて教科書や資料を使用したりもしますが、発音・会話練習をできるだけ多く取り入れるようにしています。また韓国語でのフリートキングも可能です。 まだ韓国語の発音に慣れていない場合、必要に応じてその日学んだ単語や表現を録音してお送りします。 こんな方にオススメです😀 - リラックスして話せるチューターをお探しの方 - まだネイティブ講師と会話する自信がなく、日本語の助けが必要な方 - 発音のせいでネイティブにうまく伝わらずもどかしさを感じている方 수업에서는 교재나 제가 직접 준비한 프린트물을 주로 사용하지만 발음/회화 연습을 많이 하려고 합니다. 한국어로 자유롭게 대화하는 프리 토킹 수업도 가능해요! 아직 한국어 발음에 익숙하지 않은 경우에는 필요에 따라 그날 배운 단어와 표현을 녹음해 보내드리기도 합니다. 이런 분들께 추천합니다😀 - 편안한 분위기에서 대화할 수 있는 튜터를 찾고 계신 분 - 아직 원어민 강사와 대화하는 것이 부담스럽고, 일본어의 도움이 필요한 분 - 발음 때문에 원어민에게 잘 전달되지 않아 답답함을 느끼는 분

Studied Korean grammar but can't speak? Learn to speak through stories (8,000+ lessons) You've studied the grammar, but speaking and listening still feel out of reach? That's normal. Studying the rules and using a language are different skills, like knowing how a bike works versus actually riding one. Speaking and listening only grow by doing them. Here's how my lessons work. Each lesson follows a story, and I keep asking you easy questions about it, so you're speaking from the very first lesson. Everything you hear is understandable, and the same patterns come back again and again in new situations until you can use them to talk about your day, your plans, and the things you love. I made all the materials myself, including audio, video, and shadowing practice, so you can keep practicing at home. 6 years, 8,000+ lessons, from beginners to advanced learners. No dry textbooks. Book a trial lesson and feel the difference!

Beginner Korean A1–A2 | Clear Structure, Speak with Accuracy & Confidence **Beginner Korean A1–A2 | Clear Structure, Real-Life Korean** I’m a certified Korean teacher specializing in A1–A2 learners. **My lessons are best suited for students who can already read Hangul**, even if they are still beginners in speaking and grammar. I use the Sejong Korean curriculum to provide clear structure and steady progress, while adapting each lesson to your level and goals. With a background in arts education and an official Korean Language Teaching Certificate from the King Sejong Institute Foundation, I explain not only what Korean means, but also how it sounds, feels, and is actually used in everyday life. My classes balance grammar and speaking, with attention to pronunciation, tone, nuance, and cultural context. We explore practical Korean for daily conversations, travel, cafés, routines, and small talk. Each Sejong unit is usually covered in three lessons: 1. Vocabulary + Grammar 1 2. Grammar 2 + Listening & Speaking 3. Reading & Writing + Review I use slides, images, audio, videos, and vocabulary/grammar cards, and provide short review notes and homework. **If you can already read Hangul and want to start understanding and using Korean with more confidence, I’ll be happy to guide you step by step.**

Engaging Korean Language Teacher with a Fun and Detail-Oriented Approach. Une professeure de coréen 틀린 문법이나 발음을 놓치지 않고 고쳐드립니다. 주로 어린학생들을 대해서 인내심이 강한 편입니다. 학생들이 매 수업시간에 하나라도 더 배우고 갈 수 있도록 수업 전에 준비를 꼭 합니다. My teaching style is both fun and detail-oriented. Language learning should be enjoyable, and I make sure to create interactive lessons that keep students engaged. However, I also know how important it is to get the details right, such as grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Speaking of pronunciation, I can also help you improve your accent and intonation, and teach you how to articulate vowels and consonant sounds by showing you how to move your mouth, tongue, and lips correctly. I use simple and easy-to-understand explanations.

From your first Hangul letter to advanced, critical discussion. Hello, I'm Eujin. What I enjoy most in teaching Korean is something beyond the language itself — every learner brings their own way of thinking, their own experiences, their own way of sensing and learning. I keep learning something new from that. I majored in fine arts and media criticism. I've also had the privilege of learning English, Mandarin, Thai, and Sign Language while moving between China and Thailand. Those experiences pushed me to sit with the friction between a hunger for critical conversation and discourse, and the limits of whatever language I was learning at the time. That struggle and friction is what I teach from. Whether you're starting from your very first Hangul letter or already deep into Korean, the work is the same: we build your Korean out of your own life — your work, your routines, the things you actually need to say — and, as you go further, use a critical question, a text, or an image as a trigger to discuss society, art, industry, and your own field. So however far along you are, I'll meet you as someone already thinking and critiquing your way through an entirely new language system.
