    Easy peasy Japanesey! こんにちは(Konnichiwa)!!! A native Japanese tutor is here. Let me support your language journey with my hardest!! My lessons will be provided in English and Japanese! First of all, I truly appreciate and respect your decision to learn Japanese—one of the most challenging languages to master.

That’s why I’d love to help you with mine, which happens to be one of the hardest!

    Learn Korean with a Native Tutor | Grammar, Speaking, Writing, and Polite Korean
    ✅ 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? I’m a native Korean tutor with 4+ years of experience. I have lived and worked in Korea all my life. I value language, nature, simplicity and honesty. Helping others is one of the most rewarding parts of my life — that’s why I’m here. ✅ What you'll get: - Vocabulary, grammar, and sentence building - Native expressions and natural tone - Personalized feedback and lesson notes - Flexible Zoom lessons - Cultural context and local insight ✅ 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. - Important: 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 so you can speak and write confidently and naturally. Thanks, Yeon

I studied cross-cultural communication at a university in Tokyo and followed a Japanese language teacher education program established by the Japanese government. These courses are intended for people who want to learn Japanese but also Japanese culture. Are you passionate about manga or cooking? Or do you want to chat with your Japanese or Japanese friends? Otherwise you want to travel or work in Japan? (Learn professional and important codes for all companies, officers and employees.) I would happily teach you the Japanese and Japanese culture you need :)
