About Me

안녕하세요?
My name is Jo. I am from Seoul, South Korea and am currently based in Switzerland. I am a fully trained, qualified and experienced language teacher.

I started my teaching job about 10 years ago. Whilst teaching Korean as a voluntary worker, I realized that being a native speaker was not enough to teach someone else. That’s why I started my BA in teaching Korean as foreign language and just earned a master’s degree in Global Korean Studies. Currently I am working at Online Sejong Institute (the equivalent of the British Council or Goethe Institutes in the Korean language).

I enjoy teaching as I can meet people from various backgrounds. I consider myself quite a patient & encouraging teacher and use a various teaching method based on the students’ personality & needs.

I understand people do have different expectations & commitments about foreign language learning, but I hope you understand that you need to do a certain amount of work before & after class. I can help you to learn more efficiently and effectively.

Reviews (5)

I've been taking lessons with Jo for almost a year now and they are, honestly, the favorite part of my week. Jo is patient, knowledgeable and very kind. She takes a structured approach and is able to explain concepts clearly. Jo is also very flexible, so that even when I am traveling for work we are able to keep our classes going. Jo is the type of teacher that motivates her students, even when things are difficult, and makes you want to work hard and look forward to every lesson.
My lessons with Jo have been nothing but absolutely great, I have learned so much since I started nearly a year ago! She really takes care of you and makes sure you understand and adapts the lessons to your learning style, which I appreciate, definitely give it a go with Jo if you're trying to learn Korean.
I've been attending weekly lessons with Jo for almost two years now. Jo is a very organised teacher and her lessons are very well-structured, which I greatly appreciate. Despite not having anyone else to speak Korean to, I feel like I've made a lot of progress. I highly recommend Jo as a Korean teacher!
My son has been taking Korean classes from Jo for almost 2 years. Jo is a professional teacher with experiences. She takes each class seriously. Her systemic teaching methods gives my son a good knowledge on reading and writing. Thanks.
I've been doing Korean language lessons with Jo for some time already and really enjoy them. My goal is to be able to use Korean in everyday situations as I am interested in Korean culture and modern life. Jo's methods of teaching are structured, systematic and effective. I like that Jo gives me homework and checks it all the time. There is a good mix of speaking, listening, grammar and writing exercises. Jo encourages me to speak Korean and I feel more confident about it.

With these classes you will not only learn the language quickly to be able to communicate with natives, you will also be able to take the official exam!

Aurora Gargallo
🇰🇷BASIC AND INTERMEDIATE KOREAN CLASSES! (TEACHER WITH TOPIK6 AND EXPERIENCE IN ACADEMY)
Hello! I'm Aurora, nice to meet you ☺️ A graduate of East Asian Studies (Autonomous University of Barcelona), I have been giving private lessons in languages such as English and Spanish for seven years, and I have been teaching Korean for two years. I also have experience as a basic-level Korean teacher at the Sejong Institute in Barcelona. In my undergraduate degree, I majored in Japanese and Korean language and literature. I have been living in Korea for two years, during which I have obtained TOPIK 6 and C2 level of Korean at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in Seoul. I am currently pursuing a postgraduate degree to obtain the official title of Korean teacher. I think that not being a native speaker of the language and having to learn it from scratch has provided me with very important tools to try to help Spanish speakers approach a language as different as Korean. In my classes, I adapt to the pace and needs of each student, without putting pressure. With me you can work on grammar, vocabulary, listening, speaking, reading and writing comprehension, and we can focus on one of them in particular if required. Depending on the student's interests (K-pop, K-dramas, Korean food, traditional culture, etc.), I try to make classes more enjoyable by creating practice exercises related to the topic of interest. :) With experience as a student in the TOPIK, I have also worked as an exam assistant, so I also offer to help prepare for TOPIK exams. I offer ONLINE or HOME classes. Are you up to learn Korean with me?~🇰🇷 한국어를 같이 공부합시다! (Let's study Korean together!)

Ran
Learn Korean language, culture with a native speaker (Coréen)
Hello dear students! My name is Ran. I was born and raised in Korea and lived in China, France. I'm currently living in Brussels, Belgium. I speak Korean, English, French and a little Chinese. I also worked as professional tour guide in France and now I'm taking a tour guide course to become a licensed tour guide in Belgium. So I'm passionate about culture, art and history etc. <My strong point> 1. To be fluent in a foreign language requires to understand not only the language itself but also the culture and history. So you are at the right address! Since I worked as tour guide, I can introduce you very unique and full of interesting Korean traditions in a fun way ! 2. I'm quite good at cooking too. So you can learn Korean while cooking Korean dishes with me in my place. We will enjoy tasty and fun time together ! (You can book my cooking class on apprentus) 3. When you learn Korean, you will realize that there are many Korean words of Chinese origin, we call those words ''Hanja''. In fact, about 60 percent of Korean words are of Chinese origin. You can learn these words easily and efficiently with me as I'm learning Chinese as well. Each lesson will be customized based on your need. To me, learning a language should be fun and I'm very enthusiastic on teaching. My lessons are structured in a way that is fun and enjoyable. You will learn practical stuff that you need for everyday life with me. I will employ various multimedia and pictures too. With my lessons, you'll realize that you're getting closer to Korean language. I can help students of all ages, from children to adults for all levels. And I give both online and face-to-face class. Please feel free to let me know what your focus is or what you would like to improve. If you have any questions about my lesson, you can send me message anytime. I'll respond you as soon as possible. I hope to see you in class soon. Thank you for reading my profile.
