Hey, I’m Javi and here to be your Korean teaching buddy. As an economics and english literature major back in university but as of now more of Netflix binge watcher, unstoppable chatter and at-least-only-at-heart world traveler, I’m excited to help you with your Korean!
Me as a Teacher
It’s been more than 10 years since I started to help many of my foreign friends learn Korean, not to mention the culture itself. Just talk to me, anything gibberish is okay, and even welcome, build up your confidence and just have fun together!
My lessons & teaching style
1.From scratch
For beginners who need to start out of nothing
(Alphabet to Basics of Korean)
*Will give some basic rules of how to read and how to make letters and sentences. Give me as many questions as possible. I’m all ears!
2.Wanna talk
For intermediates who want conversation practice
*Confidence and Fluency, that’s what matters in conversation. You may make some minor grammar mistakes but just don’t care!
3.TOPIK 1&2
We start with the basic grammars and then take intensive mock tests. This is test-Korean so there're much more stuff to memorize than conversational-Korean but here I am to guide you on the right and quick path!
**Now it’s promotion price so be updated sooner or later

I had the pleasure of attending one more exceptional Korean class and every single class I've been impressed by Javi’s teaching style and expertise. His passion for the Korean language and his dedication to ensuring I felt engaged and empowered were clear (Also he is a funnier guy). The lessons have been brilliantly structured, making even complex grammar points easy to grasp, and there was a perfect balance between theory and practice. The professor’s patience, dynamic use of multimedia, and insightful cultural explanations made every class interactive and enjoyable. Their detailed feedback and commitment to my progress were invaluable, creating a learning environment that was both motivating and highly effective. I feel more confident in my Korean skills and highly recommend this class to anyone seeking an outstanding learning experience.

Class with Javi is an hour of fun. It's so relaxing and natural to speak with him because he has a great personality and is a good listener. He is patient and gives really good feedback and notes that I can review later to keep improving. Overall, I'm having a great time.

I tried learning Korean from few other tutors and even though I learned sentences and words I didn't quite understand what I'm talking about or how to make a sentence that is not just memorised. That often made me feel overwhelmed.
With Jihun Kim I finnaly understood how to make a sentence in a just a few lessons. Now all memorised things make so much more sense.
Jihun will teach you Korean in proper order and it will be easy to understand. I'm very glad I found him and will for sure stick with him till I'm fluent.
Many thanks to him :)

I really appreciate that Jihun always makes me feel comfortable in his lessons. No matter how fast or slow I'm learning, he always encourages me and makes sure that the lesson is fun. At the same time, he finds the right velocity to make me progress
