If you're looking for premium Columbus Korean lessons, Varsity Tutors offers two great services to meet your needs. Korean is the official language of South Korea and North Korea, with additional speakers found in nations such as the United States, Japan, Russia, and China. The language is considered "isolate" by linguists because it does not fit into any known language group, though it bears certain similarities to Chinese and Japanese.
We've heard a lot of different justifications for studying Korean over the years. Students at local high schools like Northland High School and Briggs High School may be looking to help set themselves apart on college applications. Courses are also offered at local colleges such as The Ohio State University, and some college students need help understanding topics in the language better to try to boost their grades. Members of the community at large study Korean to get the most out of an upcoming trip to Seoul, while professionals see learning a new language as a great way to improve their resume. No matter why you've decided to study the language, we would be delighted to enroll you in an online class or match you with a personal Columbus Korean tutor today.
If you choose to take an online course, you'll study with an expert teacher and a group of other students. Studying in a group setting can foster a more comprehensive understanding of academic subjects, and a foreign language is no exception. If you want individualized attention, we can match you with a private Columbus Korean tutor willing to work online through our Live Learning Platform or at a local coffee shop. Private instructors allow students to learn at their own pace, so you'll never need to leave a topic behind until you feel ready to do so. Continue reading to learn more about both exciting options.
What skills can I practice during Columbus Korean lessons?
Practice is the key to developing fluency in any foreign language, but finding somebody to practice your Korean with can prove challenging. If you sign up for either of our services, you'll have time set aside each week to practice your Korean with a knowledgeable instructor. If you're just starting out, your instructor can patiently answer any questions you have about sentence structure or commonly used phrases. If you're more advanced, your instructor can conduct entire sessions in Korean to provide a more immersive study experience.
Your instructor can also help you with your written Korean. If you aren't already in the habit of doing so, sketching a quick outline can help you remember any words or phrases that you plan to include in your piece. If you're one of the many students who never thinks of outlining anything outside of English or social studies, your instructor can demonstrate how to do it for a foreign language. Your instructor can also provide feedback on your written assignments to help you understand what you did well and anywhere you may be able to improve.
Many students also come to us for assistance with Korean grammar. For example, the subject has no bearing on the proper conjugation of a Korean verb. Instead, speech level (or the level of politeness a given situation calls for) is the sole determinant of which form a verb takes. If you have a hard time determining when to use each speech level, your instructor can help you come up with techniques for when to use what.
What are the benefits of each of the Columbus Korean lessons Varsity Tutors offers?
Varsity Tutors can enroll you in an online class or set you up with a private tutor. If you choose to study in an online class, you'll meet with your fellow students and work under the tutelage of a knowledgeable teacher on our live virtual platform. Our platform allows you to see and hear everyone else in your online classroom, so asking for help is as easy as raising your hand. You can also help your classmates, reinforcing your own command of the material by teaching it to somebody else. Studying in a group offers great value for your money, and you can arrange private study time with your instructor if you need extra help with something.
If you would rather work with a private instructor, our exclusive Live Learning Platform allows you to meet on your preferred mobile device for added convenience. Powerful features such as a virtual whiteboard and video chat provide a face-to-face study experience without the logistical headache of a commute. If you would prefer to work in-person, your instructor can meet you whenever and wherever works best for you.
Either way, a private instructor can design study sessions around your needs. If you need extra help with Korean sentence structure, your sessions can concentrate there. When you're ready for a new topic, your instructor can quickly move onto something else to keep your sessions engaging.

...Asia. That plan didnt last long. Instead, I fell in love with my job at Mokpo Jeongmyeong Girls Middle School. The students were a lovable, rascally bunch. We tumbled over tangled tongue twisters; tore through the halls on madcap scavenger hunts; tossed frisbees over lunch breaks and after classes; and whaled on each other with foam swords and battle axes. (We also practiced English.) Eventually, one year turned into three. I finished my two-year Fulbright...
