Hi, nice to meet you. I’m from Seoul, Korea. I was a product designer. I have many foreign friends and I like to help out people. That is why I decided to become a Korean teacher. And teaching 5years now. And I run a personal website. (www.korean-island.com) I'm open-minded. I met various people through 4500 lessons and I'm a very patient, friendly person. You don't have to be nervous.😊 I think learning a language is more like physical exercise. You need to study hard, but you also need to practice regularly to get used to a new language like you got your mother tongue. If you’re ready to get new language muscles, study with me. I'll be your personal coach and I will help you do my best. 👍

Classes with Hyunku are always fun but also very well structured. He is a demanding teacher with a lot of warmth and always supports their students. He is very flexible and always adjust the speed of learning and levels to your current life situation.

Very friendly and comfortable environment, understanding teacher! Assigns helpful homework, gives feedback on any mistakes you make, and is very flexible with lessons, homework, any class date changes, etc. I have been learning with him for more than a year now and my grammar, overall Korean level, and speaking confidence has increased a lot!

Hyun ku rocks! We’ve been having classes for a while. Working with him has really accelerated my learning. He’s so flexible. I usually come in with topics/grammar that I want to learn and he’s able to effectively help me study them. When I don’t have a topic in mind, he’s always prepared to give me one. I especially appreciate that he mainly speaks and explains concepts to me in Korean whereas some other teachers tend to mainly speak in English. He’s learned about my interests and even tailors conversations/example sentences to incorporate them! He’s very encouraging when I speak and corrects me in constructive ways by showing me more natural methods to explain my thoughts. With his help, I feel more confident when conversing with natives in my area. I look forward to our next class. Choose this teacher if you need help—you won’t regret it.

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.

He is so nice & so friendly! He makes you want to learn more & study harder to be able to talk with him more! He is very encouraging! There is no pressure! He makes me feel at ease, like I'm talking to a friend. I highly recommend his classes!
