I am a professional Korean language instructor, dedicated exclusively to teaching Korean online. Since becoming a full-time professional, I have focused solely on Korean education, taking on the role of a coach to support and guide my students. While offline education has its own merits, I strive to harness the advantages of online learning to provide the highest quality education possible. 🎢 I believe that learning a language should never feel like a burden. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where Korean can naturally become a meaningful part of your life. Thank you, and I look forward to helping you on your language journey. 🤓 I also run the website (www.korean-island.com)

Hyun ku is a great teacher. During conversations, be asks questions to keep you talking, and thoughtfully responds with his own opinions, which not only trains your speaking skills, but your comprehension as well. With grammar, he explains the usage with helpful examples, many that even involve your interests. He often mentions info you gave him in the past, which really shows that he listens and cares enough to get to know his students. He’s an absolute pleasure.

From our very first lesson, it was clear that Hyun Ku possesses not only a profound knowledge of the Korean language but also a true passion for teaching. His approach is both engaging and effective, making complex concepts easy to understand and remember. Hyun Ku’s lessons are well-structured and tailored to meet individual needs, ensuring that each session is productive and enjoyable. He uses a variety of teaching methods, including interactive exercises, cultural insights, and practical conversation practice, which have greatly enhanced my learning experience. His patience and encouragement have boosted my confidence in speaking Korean, and his genuine interest in my progress is truly motivating. What sets Hyun Ku apart is his ability to create a warm and supportive learning environment. I highly recommend Hyun Ku to anyone looking to learn Korean. His expertise, enthusiasm, and personalized teaching style make him an outstanding tutor.

I had a great first lesson with 현구 - we discussed my learning style and he was able to identify what would work best for me based on what he knows I am already doing outside of the lesson with him. 현구 선생님 provides great sample phrases in which to use different vocab and that's super helpful for me since a lot of vocab in Korean is very context-based and thus easy to confuse if you only know the translation. I look forward to our next lesson already and can see the light at the end of the 'Intermediate-Level-No-Motivation' Phase :D. Thank you 선생님!
