Learn Korean and Experience Korean Culture with a Qualified Teacher as a Seouler

From 36.91 C$ /h

Hello!
My name is Kay, and I live in Seoul, Korea. I have a Bachelor’s in English Literature, and a Master’s degree in International Development. For several years now, I have been teaching Korean language. As a certified instructor, I can effectively teach any level of the Korean language, and provide the tools and habits to practice it. If you are a beginner, we can start with Hangul, the characters of the Korean alphabet. For intermediate learners, I can help you expand upon your Korean through personalized lessons.

This class will enable you to:
- strengthen foundational Korean language skills in all the areas of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
- communicate a variety of essential topics with others, including greetings, family, friends, food, phone calls, daily activities, etc.
- learn grammars easily with thorough explanations and abundant examples and exercises.
- understand diverse Korean culture and customs.
* Class content may be different depending on your goals, levels, experience, etc.

I believe mastering a language can be achieved by using it as often as possible in your daily life. This class not only provides the knowledge you need to speak Korean properly, but also enables you to practice your Korean in a diverse, real-life situations. As a native Korean who was born and raised in Seoul, I will guide you by using modern vocabulary and natural expressions that Seoulers actually use in their daily life. And If you choose to have in-person sessions, I’d love to share my knowledge of local places with you. We can make our class fun together!

Please feel free to contact me if you are interested or would like more information. We can discuss how to personalize the class for you.

Extra information

Place: I prefer meeting at cafes in either the Gangnam or Seocho district of Seoul.
Learning materials: I use the textbooks titled “Sejoing Korean”(e-book available) with PPT and online contents. If you want to study with any specific book, such as the TOPIK test prep book, I’m happy to use it. For a conversational class, we can work without a book, and use the materials I will prepare in advance.

About Me

I love learning new languages and cultures. I’ve traveled to many countries in Europe, volunteered in the Philippines, and lived in the United States and Cambodia for a year each. Also, I have engaged in several international development projects, and visited the Dominican Republic in Central America and Ghana in Africa.
With my multi-cultural experiences, I can better communicate with others, and understand the varying perspectives of individuals studying a new language. :)
