Personal Description:

My name is Heeyoung , a qualified Korean teacher. I have finished my master's degree in the UK and obtained a teaching certificate of Korean language as a second language. I enjoy teaching my language to students who are interested in Korea and discussing the differences in languages and cultures with students. I am approachable, friendly, and a good listener. I love K-drama and K-pop!! (I can recommend you some good dramas and songs) Furthermore, I have lived in Japan and can speak Japanese. If you are interested in both languages and cultures, we can talk about the difference between both languages too! Currently, I am staying in Colombia, teaching Korean language and culture to university students. If you are adventurous like me, I could be the right tutor for you!

Teaching Experience:

I have been teaching students Korean language since 2009.
I have many years of experience in teaching Korean language to people from different countries and in various levels of their learning.

2009 - 2013 teaching exchange students who were going to study in Korea at Gifu University in Japan
2010 - 2011 teaching Korean culture and basic sentences to the disabled people at NICE NGO in Japan
2013 - 2014 teaching foreign families Korean language at the multi-cultural family support center in Korea
2015 - 2017 teaching university students Korean language and culture at Middlesex University in the UK
2016 - Current teaching students Korean language online on First tutors
2025 - Current teaching Korean language and culture at the national university of Colombia in Colombia, Manizales

Teaching Approach:

I will help you with your Korean skills in different ways. I focus on all the 4 aspects of language such as speaking, listening, writing, and reading skills. You will be able to read Hangul (Korean alphabets) and speak and write from simple sentences to complicated sentences. I will prepare some fun activities including role plays with various situations. Moreover, I can help you with your TOPIK test, which covers listening, vocabulary, reading and writing. I try to meet your level of learning and to use various materials to support our lessons. I also try to make our lesson fun and enjoyable so that you can enjoy learning Korean! Please choose me if you would like to improve your Korean skills and to share anything related to Korean culture! I look forward to meeting you soon :)

From Amelia (5/5): Heeyoung is an extremely well organized and prepared tutor. I have found her to be super reliable and she has totally engaged my teenage daughter with her lessons. I am so relieved to have found such a diligent tutor and would highly recommend Heeyoung.

From Rob (5/5):

From Tak (5/5): Very logic and constructive

From hELEN (5/5): Excellent tutor. Very friendly and put my daughter at ease very quickly. I was supprised how quickly my daughter was reading the Korean symbols.

Very patient, knowledgeable tutor. Heeyoung took time to not only teach her core lessons but understood why my daughter wanted to learn the language so linked that in to lessons to make it more relevant.

I can not recommend Heeyoung enough - she is an amazing tutor .

From Claire (5/5): Heeyoung has been teaching my daughter (in her early teens) for several months now. Classes are going really well covering written and spoken Korean and advancing at a good pace. Heeyoung is patient, encouraging and friendly and my daughter is really happy with the classes. Written material and homework provided is great and there is a sense of real progress already. All my dealings with Heeyoung to schedule classes and organise payment have been very easy and responsible. We would strongly recommend her as a teacher.

From Emma (5/5): I don't have much feedback to give other than that I found that lessons so helpful! I feel like it's well-tailored for the sort of Korean I want to learn and what I want to use it for (travel) and the lesson content is always very thorough and well explained to me.
Always super patient and always so polite and nice when correcting mistakes and I never feel uncomfortable when before I was self-conscious of my pronunciations.
These lessons have been such good help so far and I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn Korean!

From Oyebola (5/5): Really patient and kind and goes at your own pace!
I love learning with her!

From Adeline (5/5): Really nice and really good at explaining and adjusting at your level

From Aliix (5/5):

From Joshua (5/5): Heeyoung is a stellar tutor, learning a new language is a daunting task for anyone but with Heeyoung you will find yourself looking forward to every lesson. She provides excellent resources and guidance as you learn, and a good sense of humour to boot! I would wholeheartedly reccomend her to anyone looking to learn Korean.

From Priscila (5/5): She has patience and if you don’t understand something she explains it again. She is a really good teacher and I am looking forward to continue my lessons with her.

From Marc (5/5): Communication is excellent . Wonderful value for money . Thank you

From Harri (5/5): Heeyoung is a teacher who is patient, diligent and charismatic and is a real pleasure to learn under. I am incredibly happy that I found her and I am very happy with my progress over the past 4 months!

Our lessons are always enjoyable and she is always enthusiastic which is incredibly motivational to me as a learner! She also provides a lot of insight into Korean culture and life which helps me to understand the reasoning behind different complexities within the Korean language.

The documents that she uses to teach with are highly detailed, easy to understand and filled with practical information, in the classes we relate her material to things that I am interested in learning as well which provides me with the useful, practical knowledge that I want. Her explanations are always concise, simple and easy to understand + when combined with her humour the lesson goes by way too quickly!

We often find ourselves going over the scheduled time because she always like to make sure that I understand and am happy with everything.

She is always available outside of the lessons for when I need to ask her anything, She is a brilliant, relaxed teacher and my words cannot do her justice.

Looking forward to continued progress with her. 감사합니다 선생님!

From Helena (5/5): Very nice and understanding teacher. I am looking forward to further lessons with her!!

From Mair (5/5): Ciao Heeyoung, lesson are really enjoyable and your patience is much appreciated, especially when I lose concentration towards the end of the lesson! :) It's also great that you can be flexible with lessons when my work schedule causes conflicts. Looking forward to continued progress.

From Kitti (5/5): very helpful and friendly teacher, native speaker and shows the insights to the language, also helps to learn using examples of what i like ;) couldn't have asked for better, I only wish I could have the lessons in person as the one time experience was even better than the online classes!
