About Me
italki teacher since Dec 15, 2015
Interest topicMusicHistoryTravel
I like music since I studied Music and Piano Performance a bit in university. I also enjoy talking about culture and society of different countries because I like International Relations, Geography, History and Politics.
Me as a Teacher
I am currently taking a program to become a government certified teacher. I have experience of teaching children in USA for about 2 years and I really enjoyed it. I like to motivate my students, mostly let my student solve the problems and challenges alone because I believe in that way students can practice more with the grammar, but I am happy to help my students if they find it too challenging.
My lessons & teaching style
In my grammar lessons, I have a book series from a university in Korea. I use this book to teach my students grammar points. There are many exercises and we can make our own and practice together as well. Each lesson, I plan to cover 2 chapters but it varies from a students' pace.
In conversation lessons, my students and I decide the topic for each lessons. We can use some materials such as news article, blog, youtube videos, readings from magazine or books and discuss about it. If you are a real beginner and want to practice conversation, we can try from learning basic expressions and repeating the expression throughout the lesson.
Byeongho tailored the lesson exactly to my current ability. We talked about what happened in my life last week, and what is happening next week. Every time we encounter a pattern that I am unfamiliar with, we make lots of example sentences. I always leave lessons with Byeongho feeling encouraged and excited about learning Korean.

Byeongho is a superb teacher. He is able to teach my 11 years old son and engage with him. He is very patient and his lesson is very easy to follow. My son is looking forward to have a weekly lesson with him.

방금 깨달았다! 벌써 1년이 됐어요. 그동안 병호씨 덕분에 엄청 배웠어요. 처음으로 하나도 못 했어요. 기억 나요? 이제 복잡한 주제에 대해서 얘기할 수 있어서 너무 감사합니다. 계속 열심히 하겠습니다! 계속 많이 늘면 좋겠다! 아무튼 주말 잘 보내시고 다음에 뵙겠습니다!

Whilst my lessons with Byeongho are largely based around a textbook, he's always great with deviating from the textbook if I have any questions about grammar or concepts that I've encountered in my own time. I've been learning from Byeongho for over 2 years now and he's always been empathetic and encouraging. I'm looking forward to learning from Byeongho for the foreseeable future.

ByongHo is a good teacher who has also become a good friend. I'd recommend him to anyone trying to learn Korean. :)

Not only is ByongHo an excellent teacher, he has become a good friend over the years we have been meeting. What better recommendation could I possibly give? :)
