About Me

[I only teach over 18 years old]

My name is Heeon Kim. I'm a native speaker of Korean. I'm from Seoul, South Korea. I did my master degree of Korean studies in Ewha University and I got a Certificate in Korean Language Teaching for foreigners.

I am a person who has a lot of patience with students who study Korean diligently and sincerely. I can explain over and over until you completely understand the grammar. I also give you enough practice during the class so that you can completely understand what you learn. Learning speed is not a matter at all. Some learn fast and some learn slowly. There is no set speed when learning a language. If you are ready to invest your time not only in class time, but also in studying Korean yourself, I will do my best so that you can reach your desired goal.

[Languages I can]
I can speak English, Japanese and Chinese. I'm currently learning Norwegian. So I know how to make and improve the learning process of languages much easier. Based on my experiences I build classes to be fun, simple and effective. 

[Teaching Experience]
I have been teaching Korean for over 10 years. I have taught Korean to foreigners in Gangnam, Seoul for 7 years. I specialize in beginner to advanced level, business Korean and TOPIK which is Test of Proficiency in Korean. I have many experiences with all different types of Korean learners and levels, so any goals you have or want to reach, I can help you in effective ways.

[How I teach]
I'm teaching Korean in English, Japanese, Chinese and Norwegian for the starter and Level 1 of beginner. For Level 2 of beginner and intermediate level, I mainly speak in Korean during a class so that you practice more speaking. I can structure classes depend on your goal or your learning style. For example, if you would like to practice speaking, we can do more conversation-based on grammar or any topics you are interested in and want to discuss. If you would like to work on grammar, we can practice grammar parts with sentences.

[Expectation]
I couldn't say if you only take a class with me, you can speak Korean fluently very soon. But I can say if you take a class with me, I can help you improve your level of Korean, gain confidence when speaking it and not lose your interest in learning Korean.

[Contact]
Any questions you have about Korean class, please feel free to contact me.

[Lesson Plan]
Step1 : Korean Alphabet (based on understanding the principle of Hangul)
Step2 : Basic structure to make a sentence
Step3 : Making sentences using verbs and adjectives
Step4 : Practice speaking on communication
Step5 : Discuss topics that students are interested in

Heeon is an amazing teacher, I'm so glad I chose her! She puts me at ease during the lessons and I feel like I can have a chat with her, whilst still learning a lot which is amazing. If I had to choose a tutor I would choose her all over again. Her teaching style works really well for me and she has the balance of reading and speaking just right for me! :D
