Hi. My name is Heonsoo, and I am from Seoul, Korea. My experience of learning several languages helps me understand how to learn a new language. This makes me excited about teaching and sharing the experience of learning new languages with others. With 30 years of experience in a big Korean company, I understand Korean culture, especially in a work setting. My mix of work experience and knowledge of language learning makes my teaching unique and practical. I especially love teaching beginners and helping them start learning a new language. If you love learning new languages and cultures and want to understand Korean for daily life and work, I am here to help you.

I've been tempted to simply say 'another great lesson,' but after 20+ sessions with Heonsoo, I think a more thorough review is in order. He's consistently well-prepared, shares his own teaching materials, and has an impressive ability to recall past topics and conversations. His teaching style is both supportive and patient, encouraging me to correct my mistakes without feeling judged. Beyond his teaching skills, Heonsoo is a genuinely kind and content person who is always open to others. If you're seeking a top-notch teacher, look no further.

I was really nervous for my first lesson in Korean. But, I quickly found out there was no reason to be nervous. I had a great first impression of Mr. Shin. He was very encouraging and patient. His English is really good and he explained the grammar concepts in a way that I could understand easily. I felt proud of myself at the end of the lesson.

If every Korean lesson were as fun and effective as my sessions with Heonsoo, I'd be fluent by now... or at least I'd be dreaming in Korean already! Every class brings more challenging grammar and new vocabulary, and my biggest worry is forgetting it all right after learning it or stumbling when I need it most. But Heonsoo has a way of making complex concepts stick. Not only does he teach them clearly, but he also gives me ample practice time to really commit everything to memory. He thinks of relevant sample sentences and asks just the right questions to get me talking. This method has truly helped me make Korean a natural part of myself, and I've even started looking forward to the homework—despite my limited free time! I highly recommend Heonsoo to anyone serious about learning Korean. 모든 한국어 수업이 Heonsoo 선생님과의 수업처럼 재미있고 효과적이었다면, 지금쯤 한국어에 유창했을 거예요... 아니면 적어도 한국어로 꿈을 꾸고 있었겠죠! 매 수업마다 더 어려운 문법과 새로운 어휘가 나오는데, 가장 큰 걱정은 배우자마자 잊어버리거나 필요한 순간에 제대로 사용하지 못하는 거예요. 하지만 Heonsoo 선생님은 복잡한 개념도 머릿속에 확

I had my first lesson today with Heonsoo Shin 선생님, and it was such an amazing first lesson. He’s very very kind and patient, and he goes into great detail when explaining things. Even though it was just a 30 minute trial, a lot of ground was actually covered during the lesson. He’s truly a quality teacher and i can’t wait for the next lesson!

Another great lesson is behind us. Today we covered a lot of grammar, so I have a lot of studying and homework ahead of me. But actually, homework is something I really enjoy :)
