*Complete Beginner Level (Level 0) Welcome!
*Various Resources - PPTs, Homework, Workbook, Quizlet, and Interactive tools
*You Will Gain Self Confidence and Learn Real Korean.

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.

I’ll provide presentations, materials (textbook, news article, video clips, also on your need and interest), and homework to help you succeed.

*You can ask for a group class with your friends or family

[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.

Beginner Korean lessons, including vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Practice real-life conversations and learn a little about Korean culture along the way. If you are struggling with the basics or learning completely from scratch and feel like you need a little supplemental help or practice, feel free to join!
A little about myself and my journey with Korean: I am a Korean American and native Korean speaker. As a Korean American, I am always learning new vocabulary and culture myself; we can learn and explore new things together! As a disclaimer, I am not an expert, but I do have experience tutoring and helping students with their journey in Korean, especially those that are just starting out!

These Korean language classes are conducted in a similar way as one would experience at a high school or university. All lessons follow a linear progression from beginner to intermediate to advanced levels. New students are placed at their proper skill level with custom/tailored lessons, such as TOPIK study, possible by request. Quizzes, exams, and homework are all integrated into the curriculum so that you can continue to practice outside of class hours and check your progress over time. These lessons appeal to long-term learners of Korean.

Learning Korean should be exciting, practical, and enjoyable—not overwhelming.

Hello! I'm Terrie, a native Korean speaker from South Korea who is passionate about helping students achieve their language goals. I created my own Korean learning app for beginners to make Korean easier and more enjoyable for English speakers. I bring that same teaching philosophy into every lesson through original learning materials, practical conversations, and personalized instruction.

Before becoming a Korean tutor, I worked for Samsung America, collaborating with Korean and American companies in international business and procurement. I later served more than 23 years in the U.S. Army, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. Throughout my career, I mentored and trained people from diverse backgrounds and volunteered as an English teacher in South Korea. Today, I continue my passion for learning as a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University.

My lessons are designed for beginners and intermediate learners who want to communicate confidently in real-life situations. Whether you're learning Korean for K-dramas, K-pop, travel, business, military assignments, or to connect with Korean family and friends, I will tailor each lesson to your goals, interests, and learning style.

What you'll learn

• Read and write Hangul with confidence

안녕하세요! I'm Ryunosuke, your Korean tutor! 😊

As a fellow learner who mastered Korean to achieve TOPIK Level 5 (Advanced), I know exactly where you might get stuck—whether it’s tricky pronunciation, grammar, or keeping up with native speakers.

My strength is explaining things from a student's perspective. Thanks to my experience in a short-term university program in Korea and dating a native Korean, I’ve mastered natural, native-level conversational flows and slang. Since Korean isn’t my first language, I can show you the exact, step-by-step path I took to get fluent!

✨ What we can focus on:

Beginners: Hangeul (reading/writing), basic greetings, and simple self-introductions.

Daily Talk & Slang: Real expressions from K-Pop, K-Dramas, and the latest trends on SNS.

Travel & Study Prep: Practical phrases and local culture to make your trip smooth.

My priority is to keep lessons fun and consistent. Let’s chat about your goals—I can't wait to see you in class!

Please note that in-person lessons will be available starting late September 2026.

Hello! I’m Seoga, a certified Level 2 Korean language teacher with five years of Korean teaching experience. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Multicultural Korean Language and have taught students from diverse cultural backgrounds.

This class is designed for complete beginners and learners who want to improve their practical Korean. Using structured Korean textbooks and level-appropriate materials, we will study Hangul, pronunciation, useful Korean patterns, sentence building, and conversation step by step.

You will not simply memorize vocabulary or fixed dialogues. After learning each Korean pattern, you will create your own sentences and apply them through realistic role-plays. We can practice situations such as introducing yourself, ordering at a café, shopping, asking for directions, travelling in Korea, and making plans with friends.

My background in drama and acting education also helps students improve their pronunciation, intonation, natural expression, and speaking confidence. Lessons are personalized according to your level, goals, interests, and learning pace.

Mistakes are always welcome in my class because they are an important part of learning. I will provide a comfortable and encouraging environment where you can speak Korean confidently and enjoy making steady progress.
