About Me
italki teacher since Nov 26, 2017
***Always welcome to ask about class time if you can't find any good time for you on the calendar, I'm ready to open a suitable time for you! ;) ***
Hello, I'm Dina from Korea. I really like to meet new people and get to know them, because I could learn lots of thing from sharing thinking and feelings. Therefore, It would be my pleasure If I get a chance to teach you Korean!
I love to travel and find the way that people live and how they make their own lifestyle. It's really beautiful thing to accept differences and learn something better from each other.
Me as a Teacher
After graduation, I wanted to study more about other things. Then I've realized I have some talent for teaching because many people around me have said to me so. It's also true that I like to help other people, so I started to study 'Teaching Korean' to get certification for about a year.
I've been teaching Korean on Italki for about 3 years and I have an experience that I tutored my friend and her daughter living in their country, Norway. Now I can say it's my full-time job which I really enjoy. I think I'm so grateful to have this job because it's always enjoyable even though when I'm tired.
My lessons & teaching style
If you want to practice speaking, we can just have a free conversation like a friend. Since my major was vocal at the University, we can talk about music, I also like to cook either. I always have many questions because I'm a curious person who is interested in lots of things. You don't have to worry about what you're going to talk about for the class in my class :). I also make some homework and individualized Quizlet too.
If you're a beginner, we can start from basic things with the book I have or even you have. If you're an intermediate or advanced level, we can talk about how we can improve your abilities. Just ask me what you want. I'm waiting for you all! See you in the classroom!

As always, another lovely class with 디나 쌤! I was a bit rusty but she helped guide me through my sentence without speaking over me or making me feel pressured to hurry up. She was able to help clarify a grammar point I had a vague understanding of and also help me finally use a relevant grammar point I did know but haven’t really had much chance to use. 디나 쌤 is also really great at assigning interesting homework! 쌤, 덕분에 드디어 오래 전에 배우는 문법을 사용할 수 있었기 때문에 감사합니다~^^

I've been studying with Dina for about a year now. She is amazing - extremely patient (I can be a SLOW talker!!!), always prepared, and incredibly friendly.
Our classes are always comfortable and enjoyable: more like a conversation than a class (although I learn a lot each time). As others have said, because Dina currently lives abroad in Sweden, she has a very unique perspective; I love to hear her opinions on anything we discuss.
I still have a LOT to learn, but I wouldn't be where I am now without Dina's help! I highly recommend her as a teacher! :D 정말...진짜...항상 감사합니다!

제 책나무 대해서 같이 읽고 새러운 단어 많이 공부했고 오랫만에 한국어를 즐겁게 했어요! 제가 시간을 있을때마다 수업을 예약할게요 ㅎㅎㅎ 디나 씨 다음주에 뵙겠습니당~

Speaking a lot of Korean, even when you feel like you don’t know much, is easy with Dina 선생님. Even if I take a long time to say something and feel self conscious, she never looks frustrated - only patient and encouraging. She also makes interesting homework related to my interests, so lessons feel very personalized. This week Dina 선생님 sent me an audio clip that was perfect for repetitive listening. Although I didn’t understand everything, the more I listened, the more I was able to figure out the meaning by spelling words out.

이번 주에 우리가 책으로 공부했어요. 저는 지금 한국에 가려고 준비하니까 숙제를 못 할 때도 매주에 선생님과 말하기를 연습하고 싶어요.

일과 공부를 하느라 바빠서 한국어 수업을 들을 수 없었고 6개월 후에 여유가 생겨서 다행이에요! 오랫만에 여러가지 이야기를 나눴고 진짜 즐겁게 대화했어요! 더 길게 이야기했으면 좋겠는데요 ㅋㅋㅋ
