Award-Winning Korean Tutors
serving Sacramento, CA

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.

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.

I graduated from Saint Louis University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology. Since then, I took the DAT exam and received a very high score, which allowed me to secure interviews from multiple Dental Schools across the country. I'm ready and willing to share the studying skills I acquired during my academic career to make my students' lives easier and achieve success. I was a biology and chemistry tutor at St. Louis Community College, where I led both group study sessions and 1-on-1 tutoring sessions. Every student on this campus had different learning styles and academic backgrounds. Therefore, I adapted my teaching styles to suit each student and make the sessions as efficient as possible. I also have experience tutoring children, including those with learning disabilities. I enjoy tutoring science the most. I love seeing the twinkle in the eye when my students have an "Aha" moment after understanding a new concept, which is which I love my job as a tutor. During my free time, I go to community services, watch soccer, and play guitar.

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.

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.

I am a student at Texas Tech University and my major is Biochemistry on the Pre-med track. I was born in Los Angeles but I was raised in Korea until high school. I graduated from New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, NM. I like sports such as football, basketball, soccer, baseball, tennis, and etc. I look forward to meeting students and helping them succeed.

Learning Korean means wrestling with an entirely different sentence structure — subject-object-verb order, honorific levels that change verb endings, and a writing system that looks intimidating but is actually remarkably logical. Suha teaches hangul as a phonetic puzzle students can crack in a few sessions, then builds from there into grammar patterns and everyday vocabulary. As a Korean speaker and trained educator, she bridges the gap between textbook Korean and how the language actually works.

Thirteen years living in Korea and speaking Korean at home give Raina a native-level fluency that extends well beyond textbook phrases. She teaches everything from Hangul fundamentals and particle usage for beginners to honorific registers and natural conversational flow for intermediate learners. Her five years of classroom teaching at a Korean school mean she knows exactly where English speakers tend to get tripped up.

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.

Jake prepared for the SAT Subject Test in Korean with Listening, which means he's studied the language with the kind of disciplined, test-oriented rigor that sharpens grammar accuracy and listening comprehension alike. His engineering mindset shows up in how he teaches — verb conjugation patterns and particle rules get treated like systems to decode, not lists to memorize. Rated 5.0 by students.

Learning Korean means tackling Hangul, sentence-ending particles, and an honorific system that changes depending on who you're talking to. Andrew's linguistics degree gives him a structural understanding of how Korean grammar works at a deep level, making it easier to explain why particles like 은/는 and 이/가 behave differently even though both can mark a subject.

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.
