Seong is a heritage Korean speaker who also prepared for the SAT Subject Test in Korean with Listening, giving her both native fluency and an understanding of how Korean grammar is formally tested.

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.

I also teach Korean in English online to students from various countries. I believe it is very important to help students learn Korean in a way that is easy, enjoyable, and practical. That is why I use a variety of learning tools, such as Quizlet and mobile quizzes, to make learning more effective and engaging. See you in class!

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 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.

Hi! I'm Joyce. I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a degree in Global Health and Environment and a minor in Korean, following the pre-med track. I have over five years of tutoring experience working with students of all ages, from elementary and middle schoolers to high school and college students. I specialize in ACT tutoring, particularly in english, reading, science, and writing. I've helped students strengthen their foundational skills, boost their test scores, and approach the ACT with confidence. I know how to pair content mastery with proven test-taking strategies. In addition, I support students with college application essays, drawing on my own experience of gaining admission to top schools like WashU and Boston College. I've also guided students in refining their essays and helped them gain admission to schools such as Purdue. Alongside ACT prep, I tutor Korean, where I've worked with students to build strong language foundations and conversational skills. In addition to private tutoring, I've served as a teaching assistant for college-level Korean courses and have tutored older students looking to strengthen their language skills. I'm passionate about creating a supportive, encouraging space where students feel comfortable asking questions and empowered in their learning. My tutoring style is goal-oriented and engaging, I use active learning strategies and provide clear, constructive feedback to help students retain information and make meaningful progress.

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!
