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

A partir de 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 I also know that many textbooks teach awkward grammar or outdated words—so my focus is on helping you sound natural and confident when speaking with native speakers.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~

Información adicional

Make sure to have a quiet space to take the class in (so you can hear clearly^^)

Acerca de mí

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.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF:
The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences.
In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles.

I offer private language tutoring tailored entirely to each student’s needs. My lessons are flexible and personalized: I can focus on grammar, where I clearly explain the rules, help students apply them, and provide targeted exercises to reinforce learning. I follow the same approach with vocabulary, ensuring students not only understand new words but can actively use them.
If needed, I also provide study support. I help students create concept maps and summaries, develop effective memorization techniques, and guide them through revision and practice. My goal is to support each student in the way that works best for them, adapting every lesson to their specific goals, difficulties, and learning style.
