About Me
italki teacher since Oct 12, 2020
Hi. I am a Korean native speaker. I was born and raised in Seoul, Korea. After getting my PhD in Korea, I came to the US to work as a research scholar in Texas. I am experienced in teaching Korean. I think learning a new language is such a long journey. If you decide to learn Korean, I’ll be your friend for your long journey.

Heather is extremely patient and does a great job of preparing lessons based on how much progress I’ve made. She doesn’t mind if I use English words in sentences when I can’t express myself in Korean, and quickly helps me learn the right words. I highly recommend her to beginners who may not be confident in their Korean skills.

I love my lessons with Heather. She is well prepared, patient, kind and really understands her student's needs. I love starting the class with our 대화, speaking is for me the most intimidating but the conversation is always fun and engaging! Thank you so much :)

Heather is a wonderful teacher. She has really helped me improve my Korean speaking, listening, reading and writing. Heather is always ready to adapt lesson plans as needed and answer questions at any time. I really enjoy our lessons!

I approached Korean in December as an absolute beginner and was looking for a tutor to assist with the parts I simply cannot handle on my own via self-study (speaking/listening). I chose Heather in part to her time zone being the same as mine and also her profile which at the end states “If you decide to learn Korean, I’ll be your friend for your long journey.” This resonated with me as I like consistency and I knew I was going to undertake something difficult since many of the Asian languages are a far cry from English in form and function. Certainly, the path of learning Korean is arduous, but Heather does an incredible job of helping keep my enthusiasm high through her infectious positivity which is important for learning something that can take a long time to truly comprehend. I can’t say enough kind things about her, and as other reviews have stated she is incredibly punctual. I'd write much more but they stop me at 1000 characters :)

Heather was patient and personable as we worked on vocab and pronunciation. The conversation moved forward easily as we practiced.
