About Me

I am a Korean American native speaker and for about 2 years, I was a TA for Korean 101 and Korean 102 at my university. I also worked as a Korean Language Tutor for the university's Korean language program and helped students who were struggling in their Korean classes. Before that, I tutored elementary, middle, and high schoolers in subjects ranging from math to english and standardized testing as a volunteer. I enjoy watching kdramas and variety shows and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IU.

Are you a complete beginner? That's okay! Let's start with the basics, such as correct pronunciation and conversational Korean skills. I'll help you develop the confidence you need to communicate effectively in Korean.

If you already know the alphabet, I can help you take your Korean to the next level. I use a variety of teaching methods and resources to make learning Korean fun and engaging.

[Korean for Beginners]
Are you a complete beginner? No worries. Let's start by studying the correct pronunciation of sounds step by step, beginning with the 10 vowels: ᅡ, ᅣ, ᅥ, ᅧ, ᅩ, ᅭ, ᅮ, ᅲ, ᅳ.

I will guide you on how to pronounce them correctly, because good pronunciation is essential for learning any language. By starting with the fundamentals, we can make learning Korean easier and smoother. So, let's get started and master these important sounds together!

[Conversational Korean]
I am a big fan of Korean dramas, and I will use them as examples to show you how Korean is spoken in real life. This will help us develop a deeper understanding of the language and its nuances.

I will teach you how to speak Korean in both formal and informal settings, so that you can understand real Korean more effectively. My lessons are primarily designed for those who wish to improve their conversational Korean skills, and I will teach you how to speak in a fluent and natural way. Additionally, I will provide you with many expressions and phrases commonly used by native speakers to help you sound more like one.

I am also happy to assist with written Korean, whenever a student requires it.

Hi! I’m Thảo, a Vietnamese tutor based in Hanoi, Vietnam, with over 20 years of professional experience and a background in communication and journalism.

I help learners speak Vietnamese clearly, improve their pronunciation, and understand how the language is actually used in real-life situations.

Many learners struggle not because of vocabulary, but because they don’t fully understand pronunciation, context, and cultural meaning.

With over 20 years of professional experience, I know how to communicate clearly and explain complex ideas in a simple, structured way.

In my lessons, I focus on:

• improving your pronunciation step by step

• helping you understand how and why Vietnamese is used in different situations

• building your confidence in real conversations

I carefully correct your mistakes and guide you step by step, so you can improve your accuracy and speak more naturally.

I adapt each lesson to your needs and learning style, so you can learn in a way that works best for you.

Learning Vietnamese can feel confusing at first, especially when you don’t understand how the language works in real life.

Vous êtes diplomate, cadre dirigeant ou homme/femme d'affaires en phase d'expatriation ou en mission dans le monde arabe ? La réussite de votre mandat repose autant sur votre expertise que sur votre capacité à décrypter les codes linguistiques et culturels de vos interlocuteurs.

Fort de plus de 20 ans d'expérience dans l'enseignement universitaire, je vous propose un accompagnement linguistique de haut niveau, strictement adapté aux exigences de la diplomatie et des affaires. Ce cours interactif par visioconférence (Google Meet) est conçu pour vous rendre opérationnel rapidement, avec un support de cours édité en temps réel et exporté en PDF à la fin de chaque séance.

Ce que vous allez maîtriser :
• L'Arabe Littéraire de base et intermédiaire : Pour comprendre les discours officiels, lire la presse, rédiger des correspondances formelles et maîtriser le vocabulaire institutionnel ou commercial.
• L'immersion dans les dialectes locaux (Darja/Ammiya) : Parce que les relations de confiance se tissent dans la langue de tous les jours, nous aborderons les expressions clés et les nuances des dialectes :
o Tunisien : Maîtrise approfondie pour briser la glace et interagir au quotidien.
o Algérien & Libyen : Compréhension des spécificités régionales limitrophes.
o Égyptien : Le dialecte incontournable, largement compris dans tout le monde arabe grâce à son influence culturelle.

• Le décodage culturel et l'étiquette (Focus Tunisie & Monde Arabe) : Comment saluer selon le rang, les sujets de conversation à privilégier (ou à éviter), l'art de la négociation, le protocole de l'hospitalité et les subtilités du "non-dit" dans les pays d'Afrique du Nord.

Ma méthode :

• 100% sur-mesure : Le contenu s'adapte à votre pays d'affectation et à votre secteur (politique, économie, commerce).

You've watched enough K-dramas to know 사랑해. This course takes you from there to real conversations. We start from zero, including the alphabet. No textbook dialogues. Just the Korean people actually use day to day.

What you'll learn :
- Read Hangul (it takes about two lessons)
- Casual vs polite Korean, and when to use each
- Introduce yourself, order at a cafe, react to things, and text a Korean friend
- Current slang, and which words are already going out of style

There's no fixed number of lessons. In the first class, I'll check your level and goals, and build the plan around you. Once the basics are down, we keep going with more conversation, more real situations, and more slang.

About me: I'm a native Korean speaker who has lived in Japan for 11 years and went to an international school. I am also experienced in teaching Korean, so I know how to explain things clearly to beginners.

No experience needed
