Jihun Kim(Javi)

Discovering a teacher who truly resonates with you is no small feat. You must first understand your own desires, while the teacher seeks to catch a fleeting spark during a trial lesson. To have found Jihun among countless Korean instructors feels like a precious gift of fate. Each class seems to slip by in an instant, yet the lessons linger, unfolding over days of thoughtful reflection. Jihun’s warmth and passion as a teacher shine through every moment, filling the air with ease and joy. What could be a tedious slog through language learning becomes, with Jihun, a vibrant and delightful journey. I find myself wondering how far this path might take me—and I’m thrilled to see where we’ll go together.

I tried learning Korean from few other tutors and even though I learned sentences and words I didn't quite understand what I'm talking about or how to make a sentence that is not just memorised. That often made me feel overwhelmed. With Jihun Kim I finnaly understood how to make a sentence in a just a few lessons. Now all memorised things make so much more sense. Jihun will teach you Korean in proper order and it will be easy to understand. I'm very glad I found him and will for sure stick with him till I'm fluent. Many thanks to him :)

Jihun keeps things interesting and takes time to explain things in a different way if I don't understand the first time. I feel like the homework and exercises he gives me are very specific to me and my learning style. I can tell he's a very dedicated and experienced instructor!

I had the pleasure of attending one more exceptional Korean class and every single class I've been impressed by Javi’s teaching style and expertise. His passion for the Korean language and his dedication to ensuring I felt engaged and empowered were clear (Also he is a funnier guy). The lessons have been brilliantly structured, making even complex grammar points easy to grasp, and there was a perfect balance between theory and practice. The professor’s patience, dynamic use of multimedia, and insightful cultural explanations made every class interactive and enjoyable. Their detailed feedback and commitment to my progress were invaluable, creating a learning environment that was both motivating and highly effective. I feel more confident in my Korean skills and highly recommend this class to anyone seeking an outstanding learning experience.

As always, another great lesson with Jihun. His patience and clear explanations are incredibly valuable, not just for understanding the meaning of words and phrases, but for truly grasping the language itself. I'm especially grateful for the way we go over things multiple times without it ever feeling repetitive. With a new language, it's always challenging to memorize everything, but he never shows any frustration when we go through things we've already covered. That makes the learning process so much more encouraging and less stressful.

Wonderful lesson as always. Thanks a lot
