About Me
Hi? I'm teacher SI who teaches Korean in a fun and enjoyable way. Currently, I am having a pleasant and useful time with students at foreign universities and online.
I majored in Korean linguistics in graduate school and hold a level 2 Korean language teaching certificate. I have grown into a Korean language expert with over 10 years of rich experience. 😊
Through overseas volunteer work that began in 2004, I experienced the local culture and language in various countries and gained a deep understanding of the difficulties of learning a foreign language.
Based on this, I am constantly thinking about ways to help students effectively acquire language and making various attempts.
I came to the conclusion that the core of learning is ‘fun.’ If you have been learning Korean in a heavy and rigid atmosphere, how about now having fun learning together while laughing?
If you speak Korean with me during class, your Korean skills will naturally improve before you know it. Class time will go by quickly!
I will help you improve your Korean skills through fun and enjoyable classes. Let’s go on a fun journey together until the day you build your confidence in Korean and become more proficient!

Honestly, I couldn't have found a better korean tutor. I wanted someone who would be patient, and someone who would make me feel comfortable. That's exactly what you get with Sungll. The hour goes by so fast because the lesson is so enjoyable. If you are looking to learn Korean, whatever level you are, you should pick Sungll. He'll not only teach you the language, but he'll make it fun for you to learn...which, for me, is the key to returning to each lesson and learning more.

As a native-born Korean who never learned to speak Korean, I was apprehensive to start taking lessons. 성일 (SungIl) quickly put those fears to rest with his teaching style. He is meticulous during his lessons but is also friendly, fun, and engaging at all the right points. I look forward to continuing to learn Korean with SungIl!
