#1⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐시니 [Shinnie]

I came to Shinnie after struggling to find motivation and progress with self study. From the very first lesson with him, I blew past what I had been able to achieve with textbooks and online resources, and felt so empowered and rewarded by the results of his unique method. Shinnie's focus on teaching grammar in order of the most commonly used allowed me to start free talking faster than I thought possible. He's firm when it comes to having the right approach to lessons and study, because he's truly committed to my success, but gentle when I feel nervous or overwhelmed and helps me simplify the process and focus on the right things when it feels like too much. Every lesson feels like comfortably talking to a friend, yet he interjects new grammar patterns and vocabulary, as well as reinforcement of everything we learn, seamlessly. Shinnie's lessons and unique method for studying truly feel like the most natural way to acquire a language, without stress or blind memorization. 감사합니다 선생님!

I have been having lessons with Shinne for a year now. Shinnie is patient, respectful and passionate about his students learning. When I thought I wasn’t progressing he showed me how much I have learned and helped restore my confidence. Shinnie has taught me how to study successfully again using his proven methods and my self-confidence has grown. I know Shinnnie teaches people with ADHD, stuttering, mental illnesses, and disabilities as I have some of these conditions. However, he has never discriminated against me and has been truly dedicated to my Korean learning. I have tried learning with other Korean teachers who have given me false compliments which I did not find productive. Shinnie has helpfully pointed out attitudes or habits that have hindered my progress and he is always honest about my skills and goals. You can trust him and just follow his guidance—without overthinking or false delusions. Shinnie is an excellent, top rate teacher. If I can do it, you can too.

If you're looking for a fantastic online tutor to help you learn Korean, look no further than Shinnie! I recently had the pleasure of working with him and can honestly say he is one of the best language tutors I've ever had. From the very first session, Shinnie's positive personality and warm demeanor put me at ease. He's incredibly patient, understanding, and genuinely cares about his students' progress. He took the time to get to know me and my learning style, and tailored each lesson to my specific needs. What I appreciate most about Shinnie is his ability to help students overcome their weaknesses. He never made me feel embarrassed or discouraged when I struggled with certain concepts or pronunciations. Instead, he would patiently explain things in different ways until I fully understood. He also gave me plenty of opportunities to practice, both in class and on my own, and provided helpful feedback to help me improve. Thanks to Shinnie, my Korean skills have improved so much!

Another really excellent lesson! Based on what I was trying to communicate in free talking, Shinnie came up with super useful grammar for me to learn for the day, and was very patient while I learned how to apply it correctly. I really appreciate that he also gives tips on how native speakers generally shorten/change some words slightly to sound more natural!

As always, I had a lesson with Shinnie in which I learnt a lot again. He always incorporates new grammar, you learn phrases from which you can quickly form new sentences just by replacing a word. I particularly like the fact that he works without a textbook, but adapts immediately to the needs and interests of the individual student with new vocabulary and text modules.

I’ve only had two lessons with Shinnie so far, but I’m already impressed! Their teaching style is clear, engaging, and tailored to my needs. What I appreciate most is their openness to questions—I never feel restricted to just the lesson plan, which has been an issue with other tutors I’ve had in the past. It’s refreshing to learn from someone who genuinely cares about helping me understand the language. I’m looking forward to continuing my lessons and building on this great start.
