빛나랑 한국어를 공부재밌어요! She is patient and understanding and I really have enjoyed the years we've been practicing together. Every class is wonderful, and she truly is excellent at what she does!

Bit-Na is always patient with my off topic questions and long (half in korean) stories, she engages with the conversation but never lose focus of the lesson. I really appreciate that ability to encourage natural conversations while teaching structural topics such as grammar.
빛나씨 감사합니다

빛나 is the best language teacher I've ever had. I speak a number of languages at different levels and have had many teachers throughout the years. Ever since our first lesson, our lessons have been totally in Korean. I really appreciate that 빛나 never just gives me the answer and allows me to think and figure things out with further examples or explanations. Our lessons are the highlight of my day! Most of the time, I forget that we're even having a lesson! 빛나 creates a safe and judgement-free space for me to learn and practice Korean. 빛나 is a dedicated, fun, kind and understanding teacher. More importantly, she's a great person! I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their Korean. 고마워요 😄 🙏

A teacher and friend like 빛나씨 makes learning Korean all the more fun! It makes me want to improve my Korean more so we can have a smoother and a more natural conversation in the future. Even though we live in different timezones and scheduling a class is a bit trickier, I am so glad that it always feels like seeing an old friend whenever we do meet in class. 우리는 2025년에도 계속 하이팅!! 💛🙏
