✔ Personalized Learning Plans – Tailored lessons based on your level, goals, and interests.

I teach students from all backgrounds—whether you’re traveling to Vietnam, working with Vietnamese partners, or simply passionate about the language and culture. I create a comfortable and supportive learning environment where you can gain confidence from the very first lesson.

Reviews (1)

A really nice Vietnamese teacher, who is active and tries her best to make you feel welcome! I recommend her to everyone!
My Vietnamese classes are designed for daily communication, business & work, and travelers. Whether you want to navigate daily life, build professional relationships, or explore Vietnam with confidence, my lessons provide practical vocabulary, real-life conversations, and cultural insights to help you speak naturally and effectively. Each session is interactive, engaging, and tailored to your needs. Let's start learning together!
Speak Vietnamese Fluently in Just 2 Months! I am passionate about helping learners not only master Vietnamese but also gain a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture. I will guide you to pronounce naturally like a native speaker and communicate confidently in any situation. ‍The biggest challenge for Vietnamese learners is pronunciation and addressing people correctly. With six tones and a complex system of pronouns that change based on formality, age, gender, and family relationships, it can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry! I’ll guide you through it and help you gain confidence from the very first lesson! Whether you're a student, a professional, living with Vietnamese people, or have Vietnamese friends or colleagues, I’m here to support you. I always tailor my teaching approach to keep you motivated, engaged, and increasingly confident in using Vietnamese. With just 2 months of learning with me, you'll be able to communicate confidently!

Cours d'espagnol 🇪🇸 Apprenez à parler courage avec une professoreure certifiée! (Tous Levelx)
I am a native certified professor and official examinatrice of the DELE from the Cervantes Institute. J'ai travaillé avec des apprentices de tous âges et de tous Levelx, en Espagne comme à l'étranger. Also, do you learn Spanish? Je peux t'aider! Bonjour! Je m'appelle Lucía, je suis professore d'espagnol au Japon 🇯🇵, titulaire d'un master en enseignement de l'espagnol, et passionatenée par l'enseignement. Currently, I am preparing a doctorate in linguistics applied to the language training Je connais bien les défis de l'aprentissage des langues. After studying the core 🇰🇷 pendant trois ans, je suis partie en Corée. Là-bas, je me suis rendu compte que je ne parlais pas aussi bien que je le pensais. This is great for the course of conversation with a native locutor, autour de thèmes variés per semaine, que j'ai vraiment pris confiance. Aujourd'hui, j'applique this method in mes cours d'espagnol, que j'adore enseigner! This new course is entièrement axé sur la conversation. You can speak in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and practice the language of nature and effectiveness. You offer a personal return 📝, you help to correct your errors in real time, to improve your pronunciation and enrich your vocabulary. What is your level, you are at your own pleasure! And if you're just starting out, you'll be advised to start with the cours réguliers, or you'll have to play the grammatical and conversational ensemble. No rate for this occasion de faire passer votre espagnol au linie supérieur! 🚀

Speak Natural and Polite Korean with a Native Tutor
✅ Want to speak polite and natural Korean like a native? People often get so caught up in the methodology of learning Korean language, but it's not about what method you use. It's about how much input you get and how often you practice it. Many Korean textbooks for foreign learners include expressions that sound unnatural or even rude in real conversations. I'll help you avoid these and speak clearly and respectfully, just like real Koreans do. ✅ Who is this tutor and what is this session? I'm Yeon, a native Korean tutor with 4 years of experience and an intermediate level of English. In this session, you'll practice Korean through real, structured conversation. The tone is relaxed but focused, with clear guidance and mutual respect. I'll gently correct your sentences and pronunciation as you speak, helping you sound more natural and confident. You'll pick up everyday language that's actually used in real conversations. Advanced learners can also work on tone, nuance, and fluency. This session is for respectful, sincere learners at any level. ✅ What you'll get: - Real-time speaking practice with live corrections - Natural and polite Korean expressions - Gentle correction during conversation - Simple review notes after each session - Cultural context from a native speaker - Zoom sessions from anywhere ✅ Lessons are online via Zoom. - I'm in Korea. (KST time zone) - Please be on time so we can use the full 60 minutes efficiently. - Please contact me before booking to schedule your session time. Let's build your Korean step by step. As your tutor, I'll guide you with care! Thank you, Yeon
