Minji Kim

My favorite thing about Minji 씨 is that she stops bad habits in their tracks even if the lesson isn’t focused on it! For example, today we reviewed 에서, 에, and past tense verbs. I had to answer something saying “my dad”, which I naturally said *제 아빠가“. She let me answer but then corrected me saying we don’t use *제* in this situatuon and she also explained why. Not only that she also taught me what words we don’t use 제 for and what to use instead. It’s so helpful because it answered any future question I had on that even though that wasn’t the focus of the lesson! Same with pronunciation. She’s always quick to make sure I’m pronouncing things right!

I have been taking classes with Minji 선생님 for over a year now and she is an amazing teacher. In the past year I’ve seen a huge improvement in both my Korean comprehension and speaking skills. Minji 선생님 is always encouraging and creates a safe space to ask questions and learn from mistakes. She also always believes in me and continually finds new ways to challenge me to grow. I started by taking regular lessons and eventually switched to TOPIK 2 preparation earlier this year. Minji 선생님 helped me set some goals and figured out a plan to get to my desired level. I was initially intimidated by exam prep, but Minji 선생님 always made classes fun and I grew to like them more than our regular lessons (which were also fun!) I highly recommend Minji 선생님 to anyone looking to improve their Korean. She is very kind and caring to her students and I look forward to many more classes with her!

I have been studying with Minji for 6 months and I see a huge difference. My speaking skills have really improved and I can hold conversations on a lot more topics than before. Minji has really helped me with my confidence. 감사합니다 선생님

So happy that Minji is super patient. I haven't studied in a while and was definitely coming to the lesson rusty. Thankfully Minji let me think through some things and helped when needed, without getting angry. Such a reassuring thing when you're learning a language!

I was nervous to start learning Korean but she was very knowledgeable and had patience with me. I am excited to continue my lessons with her!

Great first lesson with Minji! Can't wait for future sessions with her!
