About Me
italki teacher since Jul 12, 2015
안녕하세요, 여러분! My name is Jinju Kim and I am from South Korea. The reason why I've been teaching for 8 years on this platform is that I have so much fun meeting people from all over the world talking about different cultures, daily life, personal stories, anything in general!
I am optimistic, open-minded, sympathetic, and passionate, but sometimes I get obsessive over little things haha!
Although I have no social media accounts except for italki, I enjoy memes and internet cultures. I am also interested in the economy, cryptocurrencies, technology, metal/hardcore music, Jazz, etc. I hope to meet more interesting people here and that I can help them reach their goals.
Me as a Teacher
*Notice: I do not offer group lessons*
I have 7 years of teaching experience on Italki and 2 years of teaching experience outside this platform. Hence I have plentiful teaching experience for those who are both beginner and advanced level students.
I like to explain as concisely as possible with real-life examples. I am not a strict teacher but I do make sure to give a cyber slap to those who didn't do their homework (just kidding). Instead, I try my best to have fun during the lesson as I know how hard it is to study a foreign language.
So, feel free to disappoint me, cause you won't! ;)
My lessons & teaching style
*Notice: I do not offer group lessons*
My lesson style is very casual. I use all kinds of study materials (ebook/documents/homework) that I can offer. I am also working with 동화책 (fairy tale books), and so far it seems my students enjoy reading them with me :)
For beginners, I mainly focus on providing a solid foundation of grammar first (so you can build sentences bit by bit) and vocabulary. For those intermediate and advanced students, I focus a lot on more subtle stuff like pronunciation, nuance, etc. (we will build many many sentences together)
PEOPLE, please, I DO NOT BITE (but I scratch). So, feel free to message me, you don't need to book a lesson, ask me any questions!

Today's lesson was great! I really loved our conversation and, even though I'm still nervous when I speak Korean, I'm also shocked at how much more I know and understand now than when I started taking lessons with you. I've learned so much. Thank you for being the best teacher. 감사합니다!!!
