안녕하세요.
I’ve been teaching for more than 15 years, and I’ve worked with students from around the world. My background includes planning and teaching lessons to children as well as adults. I specialize in teaching Korean Pronunciation for Beginners, Basic Korean Phrases, and exam preparations like TOPIK, and other competitive exams.
I have a Korean language teaching certificate issued by the Korean government
and more than 10 years of teaching experience on and offline as well.
I also have a master's degree of education in language teaching.
In my class, I work with a lot of creativity and positivity.

Thanks to 엄 선생님, I have achieved my goal in just 20 days!
During the intensive and efficient TOPIK 2 preparing days, he taught me the key points that I should be careful of.
And 합격했습니다.
감사합니다 선생님 🌷

광호 선생님 (aka 태원샘, aka Kevin) is the best Korean teacher ever! After 1.5 years of learning Korean with him, I am confident, conversational, and continuing my studies! If you haven't booked a lesson with him yet, you're missing out!

This is my 4th lesson with Kwangho - highly recommended! Knowledgeable, organized and creates lessons around your goals. He is laser focused on accelerated progress with pronunciation and speaking which is just what I need!

I got to start my journey of learning Korean again and am excited to see how far I can go. I trust that with his guidance I will be able to become a great speaker and become natural at talking. I can’t wait to improve!

태원 성생님 had a really interesting way of doing a skills assessment by going outside and discussing road signs and flyers with me, which helped us gauge my vocabulary level and also grammar through conversation; his multilingual abilities also really help me since I speak a few languages and can better form links with languages we both know in common
