Hello. My name is Iva, I’m from Korea, and I love teaching! I’m a certified Korean teacher with a master’s degree in teaching Korean as a foreign language. I have taught Korean in Vietnam to those who want to enter a Korean university. I currently live in Jakarta, Indonesia.
I’m a language learner(I have learned Russian and Vietnamese in addition to English) as well as a teacher. I understand the difficulties of learning a foreign language. It is not easy, but it’s certainly worth it. I assure you it will be much easier and more fun to learn Korean with me. I’m friendly and open-minded with extensive experience abroad. You won’t be bored while studying with me! Hope to see you in my class.
Me as a Teacher
I'm a caring, devoted and patient teacher. I interact closely with students, make meaningful connections and keep them motivated and engaging. I deliver accurate knowledge with a well-structured curriculum, make the learning process enjoyable and help students achieve their goals.
My lessons & teaching style
The biggest advantage of my class is that I personalize my lessons and adjust the course as much as possible to suit students' own needs and interests. I try to make my lessons engaging as much as possible!
At the same time, I can offer standardized classes such as:
- General Korean course; textbook-based
- Grammar class
- Pronunciation class
- Business Korean class
- Academic Korean class
- TOPIK preparation class
- Conversation class; topic to be chosen upon your request

Speaking to Iva was a lot of fun and very productive. I learnt a lot of worthwhile language and grammar in order to express my self in the future. I recommend both of Iva’s classes, she’s truly an amazing teacher.

I’ve only been learning Korean from Iva for a month and I seriously can’t believe the progress I’ve made. Her lessons are well structured (with plenty of freedom to allow for natural conversation, too) and she is an outstanding communicator who can use Korean words I already know to explain concepts and vocabulary. If it weren’t for Iva, I would be nowhere near as confident in my speaking ability and would not feel as motivated to continue learning Korean.
이바 선생님, 저한테 잘 가르쳐 줘서 감사합니다!!

As always, Iva쌤 was prepared, patient, and purposeful with her lesson (the 3 P's). She can teach everyone from complete beginners to advanced learners. Her grammar teaching approach is great especially for intermediate learners looking to get over the "intermediate plateau". She is able to stick to Korean to explain concepts in simpler ways, without resorting to English. Highly recommend her grammar lessons!

Recently, I have come back to studying Korean after a hiatus. Iva has helped me get comfortable with speaking again. Not only have our lessons been very engaging, Iva has been very supportive in helping me regain my Korean skills. I can't thank Iva enough.

I have come back to take lessons with Iva after around a year. It was very easy to get back into talking and speaking Korean.

I had a good introduction lesson. We talked about what I need to practice and got a review of grammar and the things that I had questions about. She also provided slides of what we practiced and talked about so I can look back at them to study.
