Hi! My name is Heeyoung and I was born and raised in Korea. Now, I live in France with my son, where I'm learning to root myself and it is both a challenge and joy to learn another language. Because I lived outside of my home country for so long, I deeply relate to those who are going through similar experience, and I enjoy getting to know my students on a personal level. I look forward to meeting everyone who's interested in starting or continuing their journey in learning Korean.
Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching online since 2015, and although I teach all levels, I'm most experienced with beginners and intermediate learners.
For me, getting to know you as a student and as a person are both important. How do you learn and process things? What are your strengths and weaknesses? What sparks your interest? How can the learning process be more relevant or meaningful to you?
These are the questions I ask myself as a teacher, and I will support and guide you as much as I can and adapt to your needs.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are focused on everyday conversation and "speaking". We will study vocabulary and grammar as well, but my lectures will be short. Instead, we will focus on using what you know and taking it out of your brain.
I'll wait for you to make your own sentences however long it takes. I'll here to help when you struggle. It's okay to make mistakes. It's okay to be shy. It's okay to be slow. I'll help you to get better from wherever you are. But, please remember that if you want to improve, you need to also make time outside class and immerse yourself in this language.
If you want to know more about what and how I teach, please read the course descriptions below.

Heeyoung 선생님 is a great teacher!
Thanks to her help and patience, I can now communicate simple messages in Korean, and read Korean characters (which was not successful for a long time without her). Among all her good qualities as a teacher, I especially appreciate her for adjusting the learning pace for me and making sure that I can use what I learned before moving on. Her grammar explanation is also very clear and easy to understand. It’s helpful that she understands the difference between Korean grammar and English grammar (and Japanese grammar) from her teaching and learning experience, and knows what Korean learners find difficult.
英語ができる日本人の方にもおすすめの先生です。

My lessons with Heeyoung are always fun and interesting. Whether it is a grammar lesson or free talking, our lessons are helpful, and I always feel comfortable speaking Korean and making mistakes 🙊 my speaking confidence has grown significantly since I started lessons with Heeyoung. The content is fun, and Heeyoung really makes an effort to get to know you and your interests so that we talk about things of interest to myself. It really feels like I’m just talking to a friend at times, making it feel even more natural and more ‘fun’ than feeling like a ‘chore’ having a lesson. 감사합니다 선생님

Heeyoung really is a great teacher. Yes she is patient, engaging, encouraging, and all the good stuff any teacher should have, but what I feel sets her apart is that she is totally genuine and down-to-earth as a person. You can tell she honestly cares about her students progress and reaching their language goals. I could feel it in her intro video, which is ultimately what led me to scheduling lessons with her and I wasn't disappointed. And neither will you be!

Her guidance has been really helping me improve my Korean skills significantly. Each lesson is thoughtfully structured and tailored to my specific needs, which has kept me motivated and engaged throughout my learning journey. I highly recommend Heeyoung to anyone who is serious about learning Korean. Thank you, Heeyoung, for your dedication and professionalism

I have been studying with Heeyoung for one and a half year now and she is just an amazing teacher! I really love her way of teaching. she always adjust the pace of the learning process for my situation and finds the ways for me to use the language. I feel like I improved a lot during this time, thanks to her!
with Heeyoung you'll not only learn the grammar, but also start using the language!
