About Me

About Me Hello! My name is Lami Kim, and I'm a native Korean speaker born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. I lived in Korea for 30 years and have now lived in the United States for 11 years. I speak fluent English, which allows me to explain Korean clearly and confidently to English speakers. I was born in 1984 and completed my full education in Seoulkindergarten, elementary school (6 years), middle school (3 years), high school (3 years), and university (4 years). After university, I studied English at a language institute for 2 years, then worked for an international jewelry company, where I used English daily. These experiences strengthened my communication skills and deepened my understanding of cross-cultural learning. How I Teach I teach Korean to both adults and children, using materials and methods that fit each student's age, level, and learning style. For Adults: I follow the Korean textbook series from kcenter.korean.go.kr: 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B (10 chapters each). We begin with Hangul (the Korean alphabet) in 1A, and build step by step. I cover all core skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. I also include modern slang and real-life expressions from Naver Webtoons and YouTube to help you speak naturally and understand Korean culture. For Children (under 10): I use a special beginner textbook made for young learners from the same site. My lessons are fun, visual, and interactivewith songs, stories, and age-appropriate videos. I teach reading, writing, speaking, and listening in a playful and encouraging way. My Goal as a Teacher My goal is to help you enjoy learning Korean, understand the language in context, and feel confident using it in real life. Whether you're learning for travel, study, K-dramas, work, or family, I will guide you with care, patience, and a lesson plan just for you. Let's make Korean fun and meaningful together!
