Award-Winning Korean Tutors
serving Flint, MI

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!

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.

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.

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.

Learning Korean means tackling Hangul, honorific speech levels, and a sentence structure that puts the verb at the end — all of which can feel disorienting for English speakers. Kevin walks students through these building blocks systematically, connecting grammar patterns to real conversational contexts so the language starts to feel logical rather than foreign.

As a multilingual speaker who has studied Korean extensively — including preparing for the SAT Subject Test in Korean with Listening — Ehigbor breaks down hangul, sentence structure, and honorific levels in ways that make the language accessible to beginners and intermediate learners alike. Reading and writing practice is woven into every session so students build real fluency, not just vocabulary lists.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Dawoon's master's in Teaching Korean to Speakers of Other Languages (TKSOL) means she's trained specifically in diagnosing where non-native learners break down — and she's put that training to work preparing students for the Korean Proficiency Test and the Defense Language Proficiency Test, where she's moved learners from Level 2 to Level 3 on the DLPT. She weaves cultural context into every lesson, explaining why native speakers choose particular expressions and speech levels so that grammar rules stick to something meaningful rather than floating in the abstract.
