Award-Winning Korean Tutors
serving Lancaster, CA

Grace scored high enough on the SAT Subject Test in Korean with Listening to tutor the language at multiple levels, from hangul basics and sentence structure to more nuanced reading and conversational fluency. She approaches Korean with the same structured methodology she uses in her UChicago teaching program — breaking grammar patterns into manageable pieces and building from there.

Michelle grew up bilingual in Korean and English, which gives her an intuitive sense of where English speakers get tripped up — especially with verb conjugation patterns and the cultural context behind choosing the right speech level in conversation. Her International Relations degree from Tufts deepened that cross-cultural awareness, making her particularly effective at explaining not just how Korean works grammatically, but why certain expressions carry the weight they do.

As a heritage speaker who also studied Korean formally, Sunwoo bridges the gap between conversational fluency and the grammatical precision students need for reading, writing, and standardized listening exams. He unpacks tricky honorific levels, particle usage, and sentence-ending forms that textbooks often gloss over.

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 a graduate from UCLA and currently working as a CPA; however, I have been enjoying time to teach the Korean language and culture when I have extra time.

Hello! Having spent decades in the heart of Seoul, I believe that language is far more than just grammar - it is a living culture. Without that cultural context, a language can feel "dead." My goal is to bring Korean to life for you. As a published author of two books on daily and corporate philosophy and a former CEO and COO in the entertainment industry, I bring a unique, multifaceted perspective to our lessons. Whether you are a fellow professional or a dedicated student, I tailor my approach to your specific pace and goals. My current students value my patience and my deep knowledge of both standard Korean and its vital cultural nuances. My MBA from Northwestern University and my career at global firms like Samsung, GE, and Time Warner taught me the value of clear, impactful communication - the same clarity I provide to every student. Let's start your journey. Choose me today for a Korean lesson that goes far beyond the textbook.

As a teaching assistant for Elementary Korean at Georgia Tech's School of Modern Languages, Brian taught everything from Hangul character recognition to basic verb conjugation and particle usage. He breaks down Korean sentence structure — subject-object-verb order, honorific levels, topic vs. subject markers — in ways that make the grammar intuitive for English speakers. Rated 5.0 by students.

As a Korean speaker and language tutor, Eugene teaches everything from Hangul fundamentals and particle usage to the honorific system that trips up so many learners. His psychology background gives him a sharp sense of how language acquisition actually works, so he structures lessons around how the brain retains new vocabulary and grammar patterns.

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.

As a native-level Korean speaker with a philosophy background, Moon breaks down the language's hierarchical speech levels and grammatical particles in a way that actually makes structural sense to English speakers. Whether a student is tackling 존댓말 for the first time or working through reading comprehension of longer passages, the explanations stick because they're grounded in logic, not rote repetition.

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.

I'm a rising sophomore at the University of Notre Dame currently studying Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics with a concentration in Biology. I personally enjoy teaching mathematics (algebra, calculus, geometry, SAT/ACT mathematics), chemistry, biology, and editing essays. Previously, I taught American history, European history, and mathematics for 2 years as a tutor at Turning Point Tutoring Company; I worked as a teacher's assistant at a Korean SAT Academy for around 2 months over the summer as well. As a teacher, I try to provide my students with numerous different methods for approaching a problem before giving them practice problems to work on. Most importantly, I strive to first understand my students' learning styles. After doing so, I shape my method of teaching to match their form of learning so that the students could better understand the topic at hand quickly.
