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.

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.

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. She digs into the particles, honorific levels, and sentence-ending structures that trip up learners at every stage. Whether a student is building conversational skills or preparing for a standardized exam, she can adjust the pace and complexity accordingly.

Sophia's pharmacy doctorate required years of dense scientific reading and precise technical communication — skills she now channels into teaching Korean at the beginner level, where careful attention to hangul syllable blocks and basic sentence patterns makes all the difference early on. She keeps lessons relaxed and conversational, building vocabulary and grammar fundamentals at a pace that doesn't overwhelm new learners.

Peace teaches Korean with attention to the specific hurdles English speakers face — from mastering Hangul's syllable blocks to internalizing subject-object-verb word order and the honorific speech levels that shape everyday conversation. Her approach connects grammar patterns to real usage so vocabulary and sentence structure stick beyond flashcard drills.

Teresa's double major in Biology and Hispanic Studies at Boston College means she's no stranger to learning languages with discipline and structure — Korean is one she speaks and loves teaching most. She zeroes in on the rhythm of natural conversation, helping learners internalize speech patterns and vocabulary through context rather than isolated drills. Rated 4.8 by her students.

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.

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.

Addison is a Korean speaker who has prepared for the SAT Subject Test in Korean with Listening, giving her familiarity with formal grammar patterns, honorific levels, and vocabulary that trips up heritage speakers and new learners alike. She explains conjugation rules and sentence structure with the same precision she brings to her science coursework at Rice.

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!

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.

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.
