Award-Winning Korean Tutors
serving Appleton, WI

I am currently a first-year Master's student at the Yale School of Public Health. I received my Bachelor's in biology at UCLA. As a Californian, I enjoy sunny weather and eating avocados.

I am a graduate of Emory University in Atlanta, GA, where I received my Bachelor of Sciences in Anthropology and Human Biology with a minor in Predictive Health. After I graduated, I worked as a laboratory assistant at a cardiology lab at Emory University School of Medicine. While I am interested in chemistry, math among others in STEM, I am very passionate about biotechnology and general biology including genetics, physiology, and cell biology. As an aspiring dentist, I am currently working towards getting a dental degree. During my undergraduate career, I had several experiences of helping other students with learning materials and quiz/exam preparation. I am excited to have another opportunity to help other students again through Varsity Tutors because I truly believe that education is absolutely imperative to a better quality of life and that everyone is fully capable of learning and making potentials to reality. As for tutoring, I put much emphasis on active participation and positive reinforcement. A learning environment should stay interactive, fun, but challenging. By encountering challenges, I believe a student's potential could rise. Besides my life in academia, I enjoy traveling, photography, and physical activities including hiking, running, and skiing during winter.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's in History from Princeton University and a Master's in Music from Yale University, I have over 2 years of tutoring experience in subjects, with particular specialization in history, academic writing, and politics. My teaching philosophy centers on breaking down difficult concepts into more accessible and digestible forms of knowledge. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet each student's unique needs, utilizing creative methods to enhance understanding and retention. My dedication to helping students succeed is reflected in their improved confidence and performance. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring different cultures through music and language, which enriches my teaching and connects me with my students on a personal level.

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.

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.
