After leveling out of the Korean classes offered at my local cultural center, I was uncertain what my language learning journey would look like. While I have been studying with other Korean teachers on italki, learning with structured textbooks fell to the wayside. Fortunately, I reached out to Soosun and had my first lesson today. We accomplished a lot within 30 minutes, so I'm looking forward to seeing what we can cover in an hour-long lesson together. We spent the first few minutes discussing my motivation for learning Korean, previous materials I've relied on to study the language, etc. Soosun quickly assessed my level through our conversation as well as a fun storytelling activity. From there, she offered her opinion on my level and what future lessons would look like. After class, she instantly followed up with homework that is helping me review what I have learned so far. I feel confident that under Soosun's guidance and care, I will be able to grow my Korean skills. 감사합니다!

I had a great time in my first lesson with Soosun. She was laser focused on my learning goals and it felt like every minute of our class time was dedicated to her assessing my current level so that she can make a plan to get where I want to go. She was extremely nice but also honest about where my biggest opportunities for growth are and the fact that growth takes focus and time to achieve. I loved it and can't wait for the next class.

Almost 3 years of taking classes with her , I always recommend Soonsun to any one who asks me about my korean classes. The quality I get from these classes is unmatched and I always appreciate her patience with me. Even with my busy schedule, she is understanding and supportive as a teacher even when I struggle remembering the basics.

Have been learning Korean with Soosun 선생님 for a couple of months now. She goes at a pace that matches the student's ability so that its just right. Her added worksheets to supplement the Sogang syllabus are also really helpful. She has a cheerful disposition and most importantly for me, she speaks excellent English so she fully understands what I'm trying to ask. She was also very accommodating when I had to make last minute changes to my schedule, even though she was not obliged to. Highly recommended!

It's been a little over a year now that I've been working with Soosun. I feel incredibly grateful to her, because my Korean has improved so much. I have definitely put in the effort, but she has been such an encouraging teacher throughout, organized in her lesson planning, but delightfully spontaneous in conversation. Despite all my mistakes, I never feel self-conscious or embarrassed during the lesson. The hour just flies by. I look forward to another year working with her. 수선 씨, 감사합니다!

We completed a lesson and Soosun 선생님 presented several powerpoint slides on basic Korean. I learned how to introduce myself in Korean as well as some grammar points. She also provided a worksheet for the lesson. 선생님 was friendly and patient.
