Korean (Exciting Korean learning from beginner to advanced level)
course price icon
From 34 $ /h
arrow icon
Lessons are based on 5 categories (speaking, reading, listening, writing and of course grammar). I've been a teacher since 2015. My focus is particularly on exciting learning. I prefer to make the learning materials myself and design them so that we can learn while having fun!

What I can offer you:
Homemade learning materials (easy grammar and texts/dialogues)
Learning with educational games and Korean fairy tales (texts adapted to each level)
Get to know culture with different topics (food, k-drama, kpop or history)


A little about me: I've been in Germany since 2009 and originally come from Seoul. I can say that I understand the two cultures (Germany and South Korea) relatively well, but I still often see a lot of differences. I'm also a content creator and developer and had done a podcast show about German-Korean cultural differences with two German girls.
Extra information
Feel free to suggest me grammar books and Korean learning books if you have a special preference.

*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.

[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 Heewon from South Korea, currently living in the Netherlands.

I've been teaching Korean for over 7 years, to students ranging from 7-year-old kids to learners in their 50s, and from over a dozen different countries across Europe, the US, Asia, and the Middle East. My students' goals have been just as diverse that some simply want a fun hobby, while others are preparing for exchange programs, the TOPIK exam, or even university admission in Korea.

Teaching this many different people has taught me a lot too. I've come to understand where students commonly struggle depending on linguistic background, and how to adjust my approach accordingly.

I genuinely love this job. Helping a student reach their goal, or simply being able to have a real conversation with them in my native language, gives me a lot of joy and pride that's hard to describe unless you've experienced it. I also love sharing Korean culture with people from such different backgrounds which is one of my favorite parts of teaching.

You can check lesson details.

- Lessons built on my own grammar, vocabulary, and expression materials developed over 7+ years, no boring textbooks
- Once the basic tenses are covered, we shift into free conversation in Korean, where you'll naturally pick up real slang and expressions native speakers actually use
- I use authentic Korean media that variety shows, dramas, and movies to keep lessons engaging and relevant
- Lessons are tailored to each student's level and goals, whether that's a hobby, exchange student prep, TOPIK, or university admission
- Years of teaching students from many different countries have given me a strong sense of how cultural background affects the way people learn 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

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.

Hi 안녕하세요 สวัสดีครับ
Are you looking for a patient, highly experienced, and structured Korean tutor in Bangkok?

I am a native Korean tutor who graduated from Korea University (고려대학교), one of the top 3 prestigious universities in South Korea. While I am newly expanding my classes to Korean language teaching, I have been a professional private tutor for 10 years, specializing in teaching high and middle school students. Teaching and structuring customized lessons is my absolute expertise!

I have been living in Bangkok for over 2 years, so I fully understand the local lifestyle and culture.

Why Learn Korean with Me?

I speak fluent English! You don't need to be a native English speaker at all—I explain Korean concepts in a simple, easy-to-understand way. Don't be afraid even if you don't speak English well.

I am currently learning Thai, so I understand the grammar differences between Korean and Thai. Plus, I have many local Thai friends, which can be helpful to make our lessons much more practical.

With a decade of tutoring experience, I know exactly how to keep lessons engaging, efficient, and tailored to your personal learning speed.

Lesson Details:

Who is this for?:
Absolute beginners to intermediate learners (Adults & Students welcome!). We can start right from the Korean alphabet (Hangeul) up to daily conversation, grammar, and K-culture expressions.

Format: 1:1 In-Person classes (at your place, a cozy cafe/place around Asok, Thonglor, Ekkamai, etc.) or Online via Zoom.

Flexible Schedule: I usually recommend 1.5 hours per week as a starting point, but we can customize the frequency based on your goals.

Feel free to send me a message for any inquiries or to schedule our first trial lesson! Let’s make learning Korean enjoyable and rewarding together! :D

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.

Hi 안녕하세요 สวัสดีครับ
Are you looking for a patient, highly experienced, and structured Korean tutor in Bangkok?

I am a native Korean tutor who graduated from Korea University (고려대학교), one of the top 3 prestigious universities in South Korea. While I am newly expanding my classes to Korean language teaching, I have been a professional private tutor for 10 years, specializing in teaching high and middle school students. Teaching and structuring customized lessons is my absolute expertise!

I have been living in Bangkok for over 2 years, so I fully understand the local lifestyle and culture.

Why Learn Korean with Me?

I speak fluent English! You don't need to be a native English speaker at all—I explain Korean concepts in a simple, easy-to-understand way. Don't be afraid even if you don't speak English well.

I am currently learning Thai, so I understand the grammar differences between Korean and Thai. Plus, I have many local Thai friends, which can be helpful to make our lessons much more practical.

With a decade of tutoring experience, I know exactly how to keep lessons engaging, efficient, and tailored to your personal learning speed.

Lesson Details:

Who is this for?:
Absolute beginners to intermediate learners (Adults & Students welcome!). We can start right from the Korean alphabet (Hangeul) up to daily conversation, grammar, and K-culture expressions.

Format: 1:1 In-Person classes (at your place, a cozy cafe/place around Asok, Thonglor, Ekkamai, etc.) or Online via Zoom.

Flexible Schedule: I usually recommend 1.5 hours per week as a starting point, but we can customize the frequency based on your goals.

Feel free to send me a message for any inquiries or to schedule our first trial lesson! Let’s make learning Korean enjoyable and rewarding together! :D
