Subin

There's teaching, and then there's ✨teaching✨ — Subin 선생님's classes help you learn that distinction in real time 😄 선생님 makes learning Korean fun, engaging, and interactive! That's low-key the secret sauce of teaching~ and, to be honest, it's really hard to do well. That's why I appreciate our classes. 선생님 facilitates a classroom that feels superrrrrrrrrr (ten Rs!) welcoming and open, and where I feel comfortable making mistakes (because I know 선생님 will give me the appropriate feedback) and asking literally ANY question (because 선생님 will always give it to me straight). 😊 It could be because 선생님 knows the struggles of learning several languages not her own—and there's a real humility that comes from the hustle and grind of memorizing vocabulary, learning grammar rules, and communicating what you want to say in a way that people will understand. There ain't no shortcuts to this language stuff, but there is a lot of room for creativity. 선생님 always reminds me of this. Thank you, 선생님 🤓

As a teacher myself, I can say with confidence that Subin 선생님 truly has a gift for teaching. The lesson moves along so naturally, and she finds a way to incorporate grammar that I’m struggling with into our conversations. I appreciate the work she puts into our lessons and her materials are very helpful. It feels structured and organized, even without a boring textbook. Looking forward to the next lesson! :)

She is the QUEEN of Italki^^ I am beyond grateful to have such an amazing teacher who truly goes above and beyond in helping me grow. One of the standout qualities of this teacher is her keen ability to identify my weaknesses almost instantly and thoughtfully tailor lessons and provides targeted material to help me overcome those specific challenges. Each class feels like a step forward because the learning process is personalized, and I always leave with more confidence and a clearer understanding. I couldn’t ask for a better guide on this journey—thank you for being such a dedicated and insightful teacher! PS: I love your notes andmaterials!

I had a fantastic trial lesson with 수빈 씨! She was very friendly and welcoming, which made the class very enjoyable. I felt comfortable in my attempts to speak Korean, and she corrected any mistakes I made very kindly. Looking forward to future lessons! 감사합니다~

Subin 선생님 is a hella dope conversation facilitator! One thing that stands out most to me has been 선생님’s attentiveness to calling out mistakes/mispronunciations and encouraging me to repeat/practice/struggle through the actual, difficult work of *properly* saying what I was trying to say. In our lessons, 선생님 has found a really suitable balance between letting me talk/yap and then chiming in to correct my speaking mistakes and spend time annotating those errors for the future. 😊 This aspect of 선생님’s language coaching style—her attention to detail and focused listening—is an underrated skill fr fr. It’s been helpful for me to pay attention to my own mistakes, too, so I can identify patterns in my mistakes and areas for growth/improvement. Since my mind is already so jumbled during our lessons, I’ve never found the time to express my gratitude for this super helpful feedback, so I’m leaving this review as a note of hype/appreciation. The hype is completely warranted. Thank you 선생님 😄

Another great lesson today. :) It feels so rewarding to be able to practice all the grammar I’ve learned already and apply it, with 선생님’s help. I’ve already learnt about a lot of grammar points (I had been self-studying for a while), but she breaks down the grammar in the most simple way and lets me practice them a lot, without judgement. I only regret that I didn’t take lessons with her sooner! It would’ve saved me a lot of time. Haha
