I’ve been having so much fun with Jihun! He is an excellent conversationalist. During class, he asks thought-provoking questions that encourage elaboration and even gives his own opinions, that not only test your speaking, but your comprehension as well. He has a friendly personality that makes me feel comfortable, even when I’m frantically looking for the right words to say. He’s very patient and gives me thoughtful feedback that show me how a native would convey the same idea. Aside from his conversation skills, he explains grammar well. I usually write out sentences using concepts that I’ve discovered that week, and in class, he corrects them, giving helpful critiques to make them more natural. When I don’t understand anything, I always feel like he explains grammar in easy-to-comprehend ways. I’ve only had a few classes with him, but I’m enjoying them and look forward to continue studying with his guidance. I highly recommend working with him.

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 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.
