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 (4)

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.

Learn Korean and get cultural insights from a native tutor. Any levels!
Hello, I'm Yeon, a native Korean speaker living in Korea. I have 4 years of experience teaching Korean online as a personal tutor to students of all levels. I love languages, and I genuinely enjoy teaching Korean and connecting with my students. I'm here to help you understand and use Korean. I create lessons that fit your level and interests perfectly. You'll also get to learn about Korean culture, society, history and daily life from a native's perspective. People often get so caught up in the methodology of learning a new language, but it's not about what method you use. It's about how much you practice. Listening, reading, writing, speaking a lot are the keys. I'll guide you. I use Zoom and am in the Korea Standard Time (KST) zone. Being on time and keeping our scheduled dates is very important. My English is still improving, and I have a Korean accent. Thank you, Yeon

Hi, I have a master's degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language and a degree in East Asian Studies with a mention in Korea from the University of Malaga. I give Spanish and Korean classes, both for reinforcement for EAO students and for those who want to start studying. Both in person and online. In the classes I work above all with a communicative and grammatical approach in a dynamic and fun way. I have lived for more than two years in Korea. My first contact with Korea was in 2017 after doing a summer course at Sungkyunkwan University and then I went as an exchange student at the University of Seoul and Kyungpook National University (2021-22), in the latter I did the language program Korean from TOPIK level 3 to 5 (B1-C1) I am also accredited by the Instituto Cervantes as a DELE examiner for levels A1-A2-B1-B2, School A1+A2/B1. I have taught Korean for several years and taught Spanish at the University of Seoul and at an academy in Osaka. I currently work as a tenured professor in a school accredited by the Instituto Cervantes. In the case of online classes, all the material will be provided to you by email or Google Classroom. Personalized tracking. Get feedback and solve all your doubts at any time (I guarantee a response in less than 24 hours). If you want to follow a specific book, don't hesitate to tell me.

how to get along with Korean people, Korean, how to speak properly in Korea,
How to get along with Korean people !! Hello everyone, nice to e-meet you. I've taught Korean to many different students in person for a few years but its my first time online here. Class will be held in Korean each day different context/contents will be handed out for the class. since it's 1:1 lesson, all classes will be focused on you, so you can learn step by step. If you don't know any Korean we can start with the Korean alphabet 'Hangul' * Regular Korean course - Hangul(Alphabet) lesson - Beginner level - Intermediate level * Conversational Korean course (focused on speaking) - Conversational Korean 1: travel - Conversational Korean 2: daily life - Conversational Korean 3: work (professional level) brief intro - have lived in UK for almost a decade. - have studied Bachelor's and Master's degree both in UK - have worked in business -self employed for 5 years. - have helped others to prepare English exams for a couple of years: Ielts, tofel and optics etc I used to trade and have worked with international clients across the Europe and Asia and even Africa. thus, my previous experiences would be slightly better to communicate for both of us and help you at professional level in Korean as well. (hopefully)

Koreaanse cursus/Online Korean/Easy Korean/Let's have fun learning Korean!/TOPIK 1
Hello everyone, I'm Sanghee and my native language is Korean. I have a certificate of Korean teacher training program and 4 years of teaching experience. I've taught many different students from other countries. Regarding the class I'd like to ask your Korean level first. If you don't know any Korean we can start learning the Korean alphabet "Hangul" After that, the class will be focused on your level and pace. I use Korean language school book for the class so you can learn step by step. I give you many chances to speak Korean every lesson so we can practice talking in Korean. Every lesson consists of speaking, reading, writing and listening (Language skills) Grammar & vocabs too. You can improve your Korean skill. Besides we can talk about Korean culture as well. As for the class, we can find the best time for the both of us. *You can ask for a group class with your friends or family (Same Level)* Thanks for reading and hope to see you soon. 감사합니다!

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.
