Set the right expectations from Lesson 1 and patiently went over the material until I grasped it. Supplemented the lesson with homework and the textbook. Really enjoyed the session with her.

If you're serious about learning Korean, Ms Kim might the choice for you. So far, all my lessons have been very structured and well organized. I've always come away satisfied with the lesson, and have already learnt a lot. =)

First lesson with my new textbook. Very happy about the choice of textbook (and workbook) so far, It includes many, many exercises - so ample opportunity to get familiar with new grammar concepts. The additional helpful remarks by Ms Kim round it off perfectly.

Haven't yet received my textbook. But Ms. Kim gives great example sentences for new grammar concepts, so that's maybe just as good!

First lesson was very good! One can immediately tell that Ms Kim is an experienced teacher. We'll follow the Integrated Korean series of Korean books - looking forward to the next lesson.
Korean Language Teacher,Korean Language Consultant/Linguist,Proof-reader : You can level up your Korean through clear, full understanding communication with experienced NATIVE KOREAN TEACHER. : I am a native Korean instructor and I moved to the USA from Korea in 2008.Born, raised, graduated from prestigious university and received B.S. degree in Pharmacy in Seoul, capital city of South Korea, speak standard Korean language.
I have been teaching Korean for all levels of confidency and ages. Most of my students have become long-term clients learning Korean from me 2~3 years. : Business men, diplomats, students need private tutoring who are taking or finished Korean language course at college/university, have plan to study abroad to Korea, preparing TOPIK, which is the Test of Proficiency in Korean. English speaking students emphasize, no matter why you need to learn Korean language, understanding everything clearly (not by guess) is so important from the beginning. It includes the meaning of lesson content, Korean grammar and rules. So the clear communication with tutor is as student's level of Korean proficiency advances day after day. I also worked as " Korean Language Linguist ", " Korean Language Consultant" and did proof-reading for Korean e-Workbook.
Before I moved to America I had operated my own International Business Seminar Company for 5 years in Korea about “How to Successfully Conduct Business in Korea profitably and legally” to CEOs of Foreign National Companies, Bankers and Embassies, just name of few, facing different business, social, cultural and political organizations. So, I can also introduce Korean culture and the business environment in Korea.
Let me hear from you soon so we can start an exciting dialog together!
