Award-Winning Korean Tutors
serving San Diego, CA

As a member of a Korean hip-hop dance group at Cornell, Andrew engages with Korean language and culture well beyond the classroom. He tackles tricky concepts like honorific levels, particle usage, and Hangul reading fluency by grounding them in real conversational contexts — music, media, and everyday dialogue — so students build practical skills alongside formal grammar.

Sean's mathematics and MBA background might seem unrelated to Korean, but his analytical mindset lends itself well to breaking down the language's logical grammar system — particularly how particles and verb conjugations follow consistent, rule-based patterns. He approaches Korean the way he'd approach a math problem: identify the structure, learn the rules, then apply them in increasingly complex contexts.

I graduated from Mechatronics Engineering in University of Waterloo located in Canada, and am currently enrolled in Masters program, researching stochastic systems and computational neuroscience in University of Toronto. Currently, I am qualifed to teach computer programming, with a focus on Python language, but am able to transfer my skills to other languages. As someone that started programming later compared to my peers in university, I constantly remind myself on how difficult the initial learning curve was in programming, and aim to use this as an advantage to guide my future students into the world of programming in an interesting way, where they can enjoy the learning process and challenges, instead of being frustrated. Whether you want to learn for school, or just personal reasons, I believe that I can offer a tailored experience for teaching computer programming. I am also hoping to get qualified to teach mathematics, especially linear algebra. As an added bonus, I am also willing to share my knowledge in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence as it is the field that I have a lot of experience in. Teaching is not just a trasfer of knowledge, but aiding the students in making a concept their own, so that they have freedom to use it for different applications. I will try my absolute best to make what seems like a difficult topics, your own!

I am a undergraduate freshman of the University of Michigan, studying business at the Ross School of Business. Working together with students and having a good time while seeing steady improvements has proven to provide me great joy. I believe that communication and relationship building is crucial for students to open up about their struggles and also for me to identify problems they don't realize they can improve on, so this is a key aspect of all of my lessons. During my free time, I enjoy playing sports or snacking on desserts while binge-watching Friends!

Studying neuroscience at Brown doesn't obviously connect to Korean — but James's experience learning the language alongside rigorous coursework means he understands how to fit consistent practice with hangul, vocabulary, and grammar into a demanding schedule. He takes a structured, patient approach to building reading and speaking skills, rated 4.9 by his students.

June is a fluent Korean speaker with experience teaching the language to elementary and middle school students, so she understands how to introduce hangul, sentence structure, and honorific levels in a way that doesn't overwhelm beginners. She adjusts her approach depending on whether a student is learning Korean for heritage reasons, K-culture interest, or academic credit — because each motivation calls for a different starting point.

Lucy Je is a native-level Korean instructor with a TKSOL certification and over fifteen years of teaching the language. Whether a student is mastering Hangul for the first time or working through honorific speech levels and complex verb conjugations, she tailors each session to the learner's current proficiency and goals. Her academic degree in Korean adds depth to lessons on grammar, vocabulary, and cultural context.

As a Korean speaker, Eunice teaches the language with an emphasis on hangul structure, sentence-building patterns, and the honorific system that trips up so many beginners. She's especially effective at bridging the gap between textbook Korean and how the language is actually spoken, making conversational practice feel natural from early lessons.

I am a graduate of New York University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Childhood (G 1-6) Education and Childhood (G1-6) Special Education. I have gotten my teacher certification in the state of New York, right after graduating. After graduating from NYU, I taught English to students in Elementary School in Korea (G1-6) and I have taught all different levels. I am now pursuing a master's of Education in English Language Learner program at Vanderbilt University. I am passionate about elementary education and teaching English as a foreign language. In my experience of learning and teaching elementary school, I always try to make the activity more engaging and fun. In my spare time, I like to listen to music, watch tv, and hang out with friends.

I am an independent artist and filmmaker currently residing in Chicago. I've been tutoring students in test preparation, writing, and math for a little over five years and love every part of it! I make sure to design my teaching methods with the specific needs of each student in mind. My top priority is the success of my students. I am very friendly and also push my students to challenge themselves.

I was working as medical doctor and professor for more than 20 years. In the meantime, I have conducted education for medical students, doctors, and patients. I was also involved in developing educational programs. In particular, due to the corona pandemic, he was also involved in conducting online education. In the latter period, programs were developed for the public and patient education, and web cartoons were also developed. Moving to the US in 2023, I am looking for another job for second chapter of my life. Therefore, I think that my experience will be useful.
