Master Korean Conversation – Personalized Lessons with a Native English Speaker Who Did It Too

Van 66 $ /h

Learn Natural Korean with a Teacher Who’s Been in Your Shoes 🇰🇷✨

I’m not a native Korean speaker—I’m a native English speaker who mastered Korean myself. I know exactly how confusing the grammar, honorifics, and pronunciation can be, and I’ve developed clear, simple ways to explain them.

I lived in Korea for 10 years, studied Korean for 14 years, and earned a Master’s in Korean Linguistics from Yonsei University in Seoul. For the past 2 years, I’ve taught Korean full-time to international learners. Because I also learned Korean from scratch, I fully understand the challenges you’ll face and how to overcome them. I also know that many textbooks teach awkward grammar or outdated words—so my focus is on helping you sound natural and confident when speaking with native speakers.

What you’ll get in class:

Lessons customized to your goals (travel, friendships, study abroad, or working in Korea)

Real-life practice situations: “At the Café,” “At the Market,” interviews, debates, and more

Tips to make your pronunciation sound more natural

Easy-to-understand explanations of the honorific system and cultural nuances

Come learn with me! Together, we’ll make Korean practical, clear, and enjoyable~

Over

I am an American who has lived, studied and worked in Korea for the past 10 years and who just relocated back to the states. I am very passionate about language and cross-cultural understanding! I studied Korean and French at the University of Michigan and received my Master's Degree in Korean Linguistics in 2019 from Yonsei University. I ended up opening my own business tutoring Korean full time to fellow international people both in Korea and abroad in the fall of 2023. I love helping others gain confidence in learning/speaking Korean.
- I have experience working in Korean-English translation at small Korean companies (webtoon company, edutech startup). This helped me gain experience in more advanced Korean as well.
- I love learning languages, and study French and Chinese as a hobby currently.

Opleiding

Yonsei University (Seoul) - Masters of Arts in Korean Linguistics (2019 - 4.13/4.5)
University of Michigan - Ann Arbor - Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (Minors: Korean and French, 3.5/4)

Leservaring

- I spent the past 2 years teaching Korean full time to fellow international people in Korea. (mainly focusing on Conversational Korean of all levels) I wrote all lessons around situations one faces in daily life living in Korea and taught an average of 15~17 students weekly. (Total of 37 students over the 2 years)
I worked in mentoring high school students at a small edutech company, international marketing at a small skincare company, and edited translations for all webtoons at a online webtoon company.

TECHNOLOGIES AT THE SERVICE OF LEARNING.

Hello,

My name is Laurie and I am an independent FLE teacher, graduated in French and Romance Languages and Literature since 2012. I have eight years of experience under my belt (abroad and in Belgium). I created a learning method for online courses. I have been preparing students for the DELF, DALF, TCF, FIDE, admission exams, etc. for several years.

The course includes:
-The material (articles, videos, exercises based on images and texts, grammatical theory, links to the exercises, etc.). I use google doc, so the ideal is to have a gmail address to be able to access it.
-Correction of exercises outside the course (written expressions are corrected outside the course, or with the student, depending on their needs).
-Access to an application (free) to study vocabulary on your smartphone.
-A vocabulary sheet - pronunciation - grammar/conjugation, sent after each lesson.
-If necessary, a recording of the vocabulary (for beginners).
-Carrying out online exercises and tests based on the vocabulary sheets sent.
-Motivation, laughter, good humor :-)

My method:
-It is oral based.
-For grammar, I use a particular method which allows oral structures to be automated.
-We work on pronunciation with the verbotonal method (exercises to pose your voice, for rhythm, etc.). I might even make you sing! :-)
-Everything goes through the oral before going through the writing but I obviously adapt to the needs of the students.
-The course is a little different for children and teenagers: I use interactive games and cards via the webcam.

See you soon!
Laurie

Are you looking for a qualified native English teacher (British) with extensive teaching and business experience? If so, I would love to help you!

I have a very simple teaching philosophy. Every single lesson must be challenging, rewarding, and fun – as the best way to learn is with a smile on your face. I adapt our lessons together to your unique needs and goals, including:

• improving your accent and pronunciation;
• helping you avoid steenkool English and typical ‘Dunglish’ words;
• broadening your vocabulary; and
• perfecting your use of tenses.

Most important of all, I can help improve your confidence, which is the key to learning any language.

A speciality of mine is Business English, so I can also help with everything from preparing for an interview or speaking in meetings, to giving a presentation.

While my classes are 100% in English, I can also speak Dutch and Spanish. This gives me a real insight as to why students make certain mistakes, and how to best avoid them.

I have experience and passion in teaching English and achieving good results. Our focus after lessons will also be in the areas of reviews, periodic assignments and examine results progressively.We will also discuss trouble areas, creating good foundation and making use of different methods to move ahead and achieve set goals.

Marcel

I like to use different methods to teach French to students. It can be through songs, drama, role play or videos. I also very often use situations close to the student's experience, such as describing places they have been or talking about what they have experienced. At the same time, I teach the grammar rules to the student. I now live in regions where French has been spoken for over 30 years. Because I have learned French myself (and I am still learning other languages), I can easily put myself in a student's shoes. I can teach in French, Dutch, English, German and Russian.

I teach Dutch to anyone who wants to learn. I believe the best way to learn a language is by speaking it — so that’s what we’ll do most of the time! Of course, we’ll also make room for fun exercises and grammar practice.
And if you need help with your Dutch homework or have any other Dutch-related questions, I’m here for that too!

In our first class, you’ll start speaking Dutch right away! We’ll learn how to greet people, introduce yourself, and have a simple conversational way. No stress, just lots of talking, fun and learning.

Hello everyone! Bonjour à tous!
My name is Sujin, and I’m from Korea. Thank you for clicking on my ad! Many students have been able to start speaking Korean thanks to my lessons, and the next one to succeed could be you!

I have taught over a hundred students in France, and now I’m excited to meet new students here in the Netherlands. Whether you’re a complete beginner or want to improve your skills, my lessons are tailored to your pace and goals.

-----------------------------------

Course Presentation:

1) Conversation-focused lessons:
The main reason for learning a foreign language is usually to communicate. Even students who had no prior knowledge of Korean can now converse exclusively in Korean with me. We practice forming natural sentences, slowly and at each student’s own pace.

2) Homework and assessments:
Without homework or tests, it is very difficult to make progress in a language. I assign homework tailored to each student’s level and pace, and give a small vocabulary quiz at the end of each chapter. (During very busy periods, the amount of homework is adjusted, so don’t worry!)

3) Culture:
Language is closely connected to culture. In my lessons, we cover various topics related to Korean society, culture, history, economy, and politics.

Full course details can be explained during the first lesson :)
