About Me

🇰🇷🇪🇳 ❤️ gov-certified & 2,700+ hours exp. | upgrade 🚀 your Korean in 2025 with exciting lessons!

🙋🏻‍♀️ 여러분 안녕하세요, 만나서 반가워요! 😊 (Lessons available in EN.)

💡 Study with a government-certified tutor to learn authentically.
💡 As I was born and raised in Seoul, you will hear and attain the standard Korean.
💡 You will have a quality lesson with practical lesson materials. (PDF books, audio files, flashcards, etc.)


Welcome😊 Are you looking for the most fun and efficient way to learn Korean? Congratulations on visiting the right tutor.👏👏 I am passionate about languages, and most of all, I love teaching the Korean language. I hold a bachelor's degree from Kookmin University, Seoul, and completed a post-degree program from a state college in Canada. Also, I ❤️ listening to music, both POP & K-POP.

I teach all levels from absolute beginner to proficiency and have taught over 2,700 lessons to speakers of other languages for the last 5 years. 😊 I have seen common mistakes beginners and advanced speakers make and helped them better understand the Korean language. My students include corporate workers, teachers, actors, and Korean descendants. Meeting people from all walks of life, I'm good at personalizing lessons depending on students' situations. As a language learner, I learned English, French, and Chinese. Therefore, I understand the struggle of learning a foreign language well and combine both experiences, as a learner and a tutor, into the lesson.

I always encourage students to speak a lot in Korean and not worry about making mistakes because we can advance upon those mistakes. I am happy to see my students grow more confident in their Korean language abilities. 👏👏 We often share different cultural knowledge and broaden our perspective on the worldview.🎎 We, humans, indeed learn best when we have fun. Thus, find a tutor who is a good fit for you and enjoy the process.🙌

It is so special and fun to express yourself in another language, and I hope you get to experience that!

✔️Types of lessons offered:

[Absolute beginners to advanced speakers and all ages]
Recommended lesson frequency: ✍🏻 twice a week

📍 Conversational Korean: We will use practical, conversational🗣️ textbooks.
📍 If you are to visit Korea, we will focus on the conversation regarding your trip.
📍 If you enjoy listening to K-pop, we can study your/my favorite songs.
📍 TOPIK I&II preparation: I helped many students get levels 5 and 6.
📍 Business Korean: I have the industry experience to help you with office language, etiquette, and formal writing.
📍 Proofreading: college applications, resumes & cover letters, and written documents

*Punctuality matters. ❤️ Thank you!

안녕하세요, 반가워요. 여러분의 한국어 선생님 Jess예요. 저는 수도인 서울에서 나고 자랐고, 현재도 서울에 살고 있어요. 새로운 언어를 배우는 것은 재미있고 편안한 여정이 되어야 한다고 생각해요. 실수도 많이 하고 그 과정에서 많이 배울 수 있도록요. 수업 자료는 모두 제가 제공합니다, 한국어에 대한 열정만 가지고 와 주세요. 제 학생들이 한국어와 문화에 자연스럽게 적응하도록 도움이 되고 싶어요. 감사합니다. 🙏

I have been taking lessons from Jess for around a year and a half. I really love our classes together. We have worked through traditional textbooks, materials that Jess made herself, and TOPIK prep materials. I am confident she will be able to help you learn Korean. Jess really takes the time to customize each lesson. For example, I like to cook, so she planned several lessons all about food and cooking. She is always willing to answer my questions, and never makes me feel like my question was silly. Every lesson begins with conversation practice, and she is always very patient. She waits for me to ask for help if I can't figure out what to say. I don't feel judged if I make a mistake. I really appreciate that in a teacher. I really can't recommend her enough!

Jess is an excellent language instructor, I am thrilled to have found her here. My lessons started at the beginning of the year and so far we have completed 30 hours of work. What I learned in my one to one lessons with Jess would not have been achievable had I continued to study alone. She keeps a pace that's manageable so that I feel like I'm achieving a lot while not feeling too overwhelmed. Every lesson starts off with some questions in korean to go over what I've studied so far, while adding in new vocabulary and gives me a chance to pick up on real life conversation points. She is very patient and always eager to help. Listening, speaking and practical learning activities are all included which is invaluable when it comes to my personal development in all aspects of reading, writing and building my fluency in Korean.

If you're considering lessons, Jess is the way to go.
