About Me

Hello, my name is Sunghoon (Sun). I’m a native Korean speaker and a certified Korean language teacher, officially recognized by the National Institute of Korean Language.

I have over 5 years of teaching experience both online and in-person since early 2020. I’ve taught hundreds of students around the world from all walks of life. My students have various reasons to take lessons – studying or working in Korea, taking up a new hobby, re-connecting with their family of Korean heritage and more. They are making progress each week to reach their goals.

Whatever their reason, they’re making steady progress toward their goals — and you can too.

I strive to be respectful, open-minded, and encouraging. I deeply admire anyone who challenges themselves to learn something new. Learners of all ages, nationalities, professions, and gender identities are always welcome.

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.

This class will enable you to:
- strengthen foundational Korean language skills in all the areas of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
- communicate a variety of essential topics with others, including greetings, family, friends, food, phone calls, daily activities, etc.
- learn grammars easily with thorough explanations and abundant examples and exercises.
- understand diverse Korean culture and customs.
* Class content may be different depending on your goals, levels, experience, etc.

I believe mastering a language can be achieved by using it as often as possible in your daily life. This class not only provides the knowledge you need to speak Korean properly, but also enables you to practice your Korean in a diverse, real-life situations. 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. And If you choose to have in-person sessions, I’d love to share my knowledge of local places with you. We can make our class fun together!

Please feel free to contact me if you are interested or would like more information. We can discuss how to personalize the class for you.

Do you have trouble with improving Korean because you don't have anyone to talk with? Or do you want to understand k-drama, k-culture more deeply? Or are you just interested in learning Korean? Welcome!

First, I will check your current level and your goal or what you want to learn from me, then I will choose whether or not to use books, in what level, what topics, etc.
I am really careful about how to teach according to your personal level and goal.

- If this is the first time learn Korean
: alphabet
: basic expressions (at restaurant, at market, how to ask the way,...)
: let's try singing along K-pop!

- beginner
: learning daily expressions
: through k-drama
: start to make your own sentences

- intermediate
: basically try to say whatever you want

- advanced
: let's discuss with various expressions, passages on many different topics!

Every class will be included the time to understand about Korean culture from traditional things to trendy things. (I'm young! hehe)

Anything you want (ex) more voca, grammar, ...) can be added in class.

*Class will be taught in Korean or English.

I have 18 years of experience in a trading company and overseas sales, and I’m also certified to teach Korean. Working in the global business world has given me an international outlook. I know that Korean language learners come from all sorts of backgrounds and have different goals. My international experience helps me understand each learner's background and provide the education you need.
I don't just teach the Korean language; I help learners use Korean to communicate with the world. I hope you can share your experiences and knowledge through Korean and see the world from a broader perspective through cultural exchange. With this vision, I’m committed to growing alongside you on the journey of Korean language education.
