“Teachers can make such a profound impact on our lives and should be honored as heroes.” — Rainn Wilson Learning Korean with Soona has had an incredibly positive benefit on my life. Good teachers are truly one of the most beautiful things in life. She is a great teacher. And if you want to take your Korean language skills to the next level, this is the perfect person to help you get there. I’ve had many teachers throughout my life. Soona is definitely in my top five favorite teachers ever!! Learning a new language, like Korean can be very tough, especially for English speakers. She will help you learn to pronounce every syllable. She will be very patient with you. She has the ability to explain things in a way that is easy to understand and digest. She is a great teacher. It’s time to take your Korean skills to the next level. And this is the tutor you need to do it.

Taking classes with my Korean teacher has been an incredible experience. Even though life gets busy at times and also the time change in Europe during winter sometimes makes scheduling challenging, just one class with her always leads to significant improvement. Her patience and encouragement create a comfortable learning environment, and her ability to smoothly correct my sentences without discouraging me truly sets her apart. I feel so lucky to have her as my teacher—she has made learning Korean enjoyable and effective for me. I wish italki had a “Teacher of the Year” award because she absolutely deserves recognition for her outstanding teaching. If such an award existed, I’m confident she would win not just prizes but also the appreciation she deserves for her dedication and skill. Thank you for being the best teacher I could have hoped for!

Soona is an amazing teacher! I've now had lessons with her for almost a year and I went from barely being able to string together a sentence to talking about all kinds of interesting topics. She is incredibly flexible, fun, good at explaining concepts and also giving you exercises that allow you to apply those concepts immediately. I'm currently doing her writing challenge, which I can also highly recommend. There's new topics all the time, so you constantly have to learn about new words and sayings in order to get your point across. It's been a big part of expanding my vocabulary/improving my grammar and it has really helped me gain confidence when producing sentences. The feedback is great because you get grammatical/semantical corrections as well as more native-like alternative suggestions that you can learn from.

Perfect conducted as always. If you are lucky enough to plan your lessons in advance, do so as she is very busy as very talented.

If you want to experience how a perfectly conducted lesson feels, you need to book a class to find out. Repetition and pedagogy are her greatest strengths. When I make a mistake while trying to say a new word I've just learned, we simply laugh about it together—unlike other teachers I've encountered, who would laugh at me instead. + today she gave me useful tips for my trip in Korea next year ^^ thank you so much for that

Soona is an wonderful teacher, intelligent and kind. Her explanations are always clear and relevant. Captivated by her lessons ,I sometimes lose track of time... Learning in her side is a real pleasure, and her patience makes every moment even more enjoyable. 감사합니다 수나씨!
