About Me
안녕하세요?My name is Jo. I am from Seoul, South Korea and am currently based in Switzerland. I am a fully trained, qualified and experienced language teacher.
I started my teaching job about 10 years ago. Whilst teaching Korean as a voluntary worker, I realized that being a native speaker was not enough to teach someone else.

I enjoy teaching as I can meet people from various backgrounds. I consider myself quite a patient & encouraging teacher and use a various teaching method based on the students’ personality & needs.
I understand people do have different expectation & commitment about foreign language learning, but I hope you understand that you need to do a certain amount of work before & after class. I can help you to learn more efficiently and effectively.

Reviews (3)
My son has been taking Korean classes from Jo for almost 2 years. Jo is a professional teacher with experiences. She takes each class seriously. Her systemic teaching methods gives my son a good knowledge on reading and writing. Thanks.
I've been attending weekly lessons with Jo for almost two years now. Jo is a very organised teacher and her lessons are very well-structured, which I greatly appreciate. Despite not having anyone else to speak Korean to, I feel like I've made a lot of progress. I highly recommend Jo as a Korean teacher!
I've been doing Korean language lessons with Jo for some time already and really enjoy them.
My goal is to be able to use Korean in everyday situations as I am interested in Korean culture and modern life.
Jo's methods of teaching are structured, systematic and effective. I like that Jo gives me homework and checks it all the time. There is a good mix of speaking, listening, grammar and writing exercises.
Jo encourages me to speak Korean and I feel more confident about it.

Regarding the class I'd like to ask your Korean level first.

After that, the class will be focused on your level and pace.
I use Korean language school book for the class so you can learn step by step.
I give you many chances to speak Korean every lesson so we can practice talking in Korean.
Every lesson consists of speaking, reading, writing and listening (Language skills)
Grammar & vocabs too. You can improve your Korean skill.

Min
Korean lessons for all levels with a native Korean teacher
My name is Min and I come from South Korea.
I teach Korean language since 2014, I started with some students in Korea and then I went to Brussels where I lived for 3 years and I met more than 20 students from different backgrounds by several individual courses.
I stay in Korea for the time being and continue my skype or facetime lessons, an always efficient way to teach language classes anytime and anywhere.
If you have no basis in this language, you will also have precise explanations in English or French. All my grammatical materials are ready in both languages :)
If you have already learned the language by yourself, with other tutors, your friends, the TV show, the course will start with a level that you agree. Or preparation of Korean exams is also possible. (Topik, Bac, Korean interviews, writing of academic or professional texts etc)
In addition, I offer you plenty of exercises and homework that work perfectly for you. (grammatical exercises, lists of vocabularies, debate topics, test production, etc.)

Heewon
Korean lessons for beginners to advanced students, taught by a native Korean who has great experience in teaching the Korean language
Hi, I’m Heewon from South Korea and I currently study music in the Netherlands.
In Korea I taught exchange students Korean to make their stay more comfortable. Furthermore I taught students all over the world via an online language learning service. This experience showed me how fun teaching is and proved to me my skill in tutoring someone. Plus, having spoken to many Europeans I found some to be intrigued by Korean culture. So with my students I often find myself teaching them a lot about Korea as a country as well.
You can check my teaching skills below.
- Teach the basics of Korean in a cohesive structure to get you going quickly.
- Provide my own materials and documents about grammar, expression and vocabulary, not boring text book.
- Analyze Korean media like real world scenarios and Kpop for keeping learning interesting.
- Tailor lessons specifically to a students skills and goals.

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.

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.

Ran
Learn Korean language, culture with a native speaker (Coréen)
Hello dear students!
My name is Ran. I was born and raised in Korea and lived in China, France.
I'm currently living in Brussels, Belgium.
I speak Korean, English, French and a little Chinese.
I also worked as professional tour guide in France and now I'm taking a tour guide course to become a licensed tour guide in Belgium. So I'm passionate about culture, art and history etc.
<My strong point>
1. To be fluent in a foreign language requires to understand not only the language itself but also the culture and history. So you are at the right address! Since I worked as tour guide, I can introduce you very unique and full of interesting Korean traditions in a fun way !
2. I'm quite good at cooking too. So you can learn Korean while cooking Korean dishes with me in my place. We will enjoy tasty and fun time together ! (You can book my cooking class on apprentus)
3. When you learn Korean, you will realize that there are many Korean words of Chinese origin, we call those words ''Hanja''. In fact, about 60 percent of Korean words are of Chinese origin. You can learn these words easily and efficiently with me as I'm learning Chinese as well.
Each lesson will be customized based on your need.
To me, learning a language should be fun and I'm very enthusiastic on teaching.
My lessons are structured in a way that is fun and enjoyable. You will learn practical stuff that you need for everyday life with me. I will employ various multimedia and pictures too. With my lessons, you'll realize that you're getting closer to Korean language.
I can help students of all ages, from children to adults for all levels. And I give both online and face-to-face class.
Please feel free to let me know what your focus is or what you would like to improve. If you have any questions about my lesson, you can send me message anytime. I'll respond you as soon as possible.
I hope to see you in class soon.

Korean lesson with native Korean teacher. You will love Korea!!!
Do you know Korean is the 14th most spoken first language in the world, followed by French as the 15th? Korean should be recognised as a world language.
I am a current Korean teacher at Toowoomba Korean school with 7 years experience. I am very proud of my country South Korea, being happy to share Korean history and culture beside from teaching Korean. Recently I had a chance to make a presentation about South Korea to a local homeschooling group. I found that Korean and Korean culture must be promoted to more people.
