Hello, my name is Sunghoon. I am a native Korean speaker, and a certified Korean language teacher accredited 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 over 10,000 hrs in class to students around the world. They have taken my lesson for a variety of reasons - studying or working in Korea, reconnecting with their Korean heritage, or simply loving learning different languages and cultures. They make meaningful progresses each week to reach their goals while having fun :)
Ich als Lehrkraft
I strive to be a respectful and open-minded individual and have a great deal of respect for people who challenge themselves to learn new things. Learners of all ages, nationalities, professions, and gender groups are welcome!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Here is what you can expect from my classes:
• Learn at your own pace in a supportive environment: You’ll be encouraged to make mistakes, speak freely, and build confidence through trial and error.
• Structured learning using a variety of teaching materials, including textbooks from Korea’s top language schools and trusted online resources like Talk To Me In Korean.
• Clear explanations of grammar and vocabulary: You'll be able to understand the usage and the subtle nuances
• Practical and interactive lessons featuring role-plays, natural conversations, and cultural exchanges to keep learning engaging and fun.
• Tailored lesson plans designed to match your specific interests and goals.
My trial lesson with Sunghoon was a great experience!
He’s kind, friendly, and helped ease my trial-lesson nerves right away. The conversation flowed naturally. He encouraged me to speak, gave thoughtful answers, and corrected me in a way that felt supportive, not discouraging.
He had clearly read my intro message beforehand, which made me feel seen and supported in my Korean journey. He made multiple references to it in class. I asked questions about him as well. His responses were in depth and personable, making the class feel like a chat with a friend, rather than a first-time meeting.
In the second half, we looked at a short story I’d been working on. I had sent it to him beforehand and was surprised (and impressed!) that he had revised it before class. We reviewed his edits together, and thanks to Sunghoon, I came away with a better idea of how to make my Korean writing more natural.
I’m excited for our next class. Definitely book a lesson with him. You won’t regret it ~ 😊
