How can I or my student benefit from studying with a private Chicago Korean tutor near me?

Korean is spoken by 75 million people, including many people in the United States. Studying Korean can help you connect with them. A private Chicago Korean tutor can study with you at a pace that you are comfortable with. They can focus on the topics you are having trouble with the most while skipping topics you already understand. For example, if you are having trouble understanding Korean grammar rules, they can spend more time on that.

Korean grammar rules are very different from English, particularly in sentence structure. It can be hard for native English speakers to get used to the Korean word order. For example, in English, you might say, "I fixed the roof," while in Korean you might say, "I the roof fixed." Sentences end with either a verb or an adjective. Thus, the ending of a sentence is important for determining things such as whether the speaker is referring to the past or the future.

Chicago Korean tutors can also help you improve your pronunciation. Many students find it difficult to pronounce Korean words correctly. However, being able to pronounce words the right way is crucial for making yourself understood when speaking to native Korean speakers. Your mentor can go over the pronunciation of words as many times as needed until you are ready to move on.

Chicago Korean tutoring can allow you to practice your Korean skills regularly. This is important for improving your fluency, reducing hesitation in your speech, and improving your understanding of spoken Korean. Your mentor can even conduct conversations entirely in Korean, based on your level of proficiency. They can gradually introduce more difficult words to help you expand your vocabulary. They can also introduce reading materials to help you learn new Korean words and phrases. They can use materials that discuss topics you are interested in to make the sessions more enjoyable. You can develop a rapport with your mentor and come to look forward to each session. Your tutor can encourage you to reach for your goals and continue practicing your Korean during your free time. They can even recommend books or other materials for you to read so that you can keep your Korean skills sharp in between sessions.

Private Chicago Korean tutors can also help you learn the Korean script. Korean letters are very different than English letters and can be confusing to beginners. However, with practice, you can get used to them and be able to read Korean quickly.

Chicago Korean tutoring is available both online and in person. If you opt for online instruction, you can use our Live Learning Platform to meet your mentor from wherever you are, as long as you have access to the internet. We have a video chat tool that allows you to see, hear, and speak with them as if you were at the same table. There is also a live document editor that you can use to work with your mentor on documents in real-time. The virtual whiteboard can also be used to learn Korean words or the Korean alphabet. Your mentor can use integrated practice problems to help you assess your skills. At any time, you can go back and watch recordings of previous sessions.

You can also meet your instructor in person. A meeting can be arranged at your home, a local coffee shop, or a local library, such as the Chicago Public Library.

There are also live online Chicago Korean courses you can sign up for. An online course can allow you to study in a collaborative environment under the guidance of an expert. You can join a course section that fits your schedule and your level of proficiency.
