Tom Lee

After two years of taking class with Tom I can confidently say that my lessons with him have been the #1 thing that has contributed to my growth in Korean. Not only have my speaking and listening skills improved exponentially, but my depth of understanding of all the nuance in the Korean language (and there is a lot lol) has dramatically increased as well. This for me is super valuable and really not something you can learn from a book!

Some people are just born to teach. Tom has a gift for sure. Tom offers a perfect balance of instruction, patience, encouragement, and humor.  -He uses both Korean and English in class -he types notes for you as you go -homework easily fits into busy schedules -you learn so much without realizing it -He can easily sense when you don't understand and may need additional examples -He can also sense when you are having an off-day and need less pressure. -classes are a joy and will quickly become the highlight of your week.   I am thankful I put the self-teaching attempts down and took a chance. Learning a language is hard. Having someone to walk beside you that genuinely cares about your success makes it easier.

Great lesson full of conversation, word building and grammar. I am understanding more and more of the Korean conversation - having class with Tom every week really helps me, Just when I think I am not learning anything, we have a class full of interesting grammar facts, context and usage. Always fun!

Honestly I can say that after taking many many many lessons with Tom DAILY, this is probably one of the best teachers I’ve ever had in my life — period!! I cannot recommend him enough, he is so kind, compassionate punctual. He makes learning so fun and I can genuinely say that it has been a pleasure to be his student. His teaching method for learning languages is by far one of the most practical and hands on approaches. I never thought I would have learnt the amount I learned. And I never even did any of the homework 😂. He paces his lessons to suit his students. He takes so much notes during lessons. The study material is always centred around your life so you really learn vocabulary you would use in real life. I can’t recommend him enough.

Great teacher!! Very patient with lots of examples and knows how to lead you to fluency. Makes you feel comfortable to make mistakes and correct when needed. 10/10!!

Hi everyone, I'm Stefania. I started taking Korean lessons with Tom last July. I couldn't speak Korean back then. I have one lesson per week. These are the results: 저는 지난 7월에 한국어 수업을 시작했어요. 일주일에 한 번 한국어 수업을 해요. 처음에는 인사밖에 할 수 없었어요. 제 실력이 많이 늘었어요. 저는 한국어를 유창하게 말할 수 있기를 기대하고 있어요.:-) 톰은 훌륭한 선생님이고 톰을 만나서 정말 기뻐요.<3 한국어를 배우고 싶어 하면 톰을 선택하세요!!!:D <3 I apologize for my mistakes 톰 선생님.:-)
