안녕하세요, 김성수 입니다. 저는 여러분에게 한국어를 가르쳐 드리고 싶습니다.  Hi, my name is Seongsoo, and I teach Korean. 저는 한국에서 태아나고 자랐습니다. 미국에서 7년 정도 공부하고 한국으로 돌아와서 지금은 서울에 살고 있습니다. I was born and raised in South Korea. I studied in the United States for 7 years. And now I am back in Korea and living in Seoul, Korea. 
 I speak Korean, English, and Japanese. Korean is my mother tongue, and I use standard Korean. Also, I speak English and Japanese. Regarding Japanese, I can just carry on a general conversation.まだ私の日本語が上手じゃないけれど日本語で話すのが面白くて簡単な会話ができます。Although my Japanese is currently not that good, I enjoy talking and having some conversations in Japanese.

I am incredibly grateful for Kim 선생님's exceptional patience and calm demeanor. He creates a welcoming and comfortable environment that makes it very easy for students to talk and express their thoughts. Kim 선생님 always gives you plenty of opportunities to speak during lessons, ensuring ample practice in conversation. Additionally, Kim 선생님 goes above and beyond by typing out notes on new vocabularies and sentences covered during class and sending them back to you afterward. These personalized notes are invaluable for my review and practice, making it much easier to remember and apply what I've learned. I highly recommend Kim 선생님 to anyone looking to improve their language skills!

I have learned so much and so quickly during my lessons with Seongsoo. He gives wonderful explanations, relevant information about the language and culture, and is so supportive of my learning. I highly recommend this class to beginners especially. I look forward to every lesson and can feel my progress already even though we just started!! Thank you!

I have been studying Korean for a couple of months, and my experience has been nothing short of amazing. Seongsoo makes every lesson both fun and educational, creating an engaging learning environment that keeps me motivated. Thanks to his guidance, I can feel myself becoming more and more comfortable with speaking Korean, and my command of the language has improved tremendously. One of the things I appreciate most is how he helps me practice recalling and pronouncing words I've learned from flashcards, reinforcing my vocabulary in a practical and effective way. His teaching method makes learning Korean enjoyable and accessible, and I always look forward to our lessons every week. I’m truly grateful for his patience and dedication, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn Korean!

I am truly glad I had the opportunity to meet you this year. Your enthusiasm and dedication to Korean have made each lesson enjoyable and rewarding. I’ve learned a lot from you. Every class has been filled with laughter, curiosity, and meaningful exploration of new grammar concepts. As we move into the new year, I am genuinely looking forward to continuing this journey with you, discovering even more about the Korean language and culture together. Thank you for making the learning experience so delightful and inspiring!
