About Me
italki teacher since Jun 4, 2020Me as a Teacher
I am organised, patient, supportive and passionate about teaching Korean to students. Whatever level you are at in learning Korean I assess your levels, needs and additional support for you to suit your ability. I make sure my students achieve the best outcome in my lesson and I am ready to support you to achieve your potential. To sum up, I am highly qualified and have a high standard teaching.
I have created my own textbook which is an amalgamation of the best parts of the Korean textbooks. I use a lot of images to help the student speak and then develop sentences using everyday words and grammar. My aim is to encourage students to speak in Korean and improve their confidence. My lessons & teaching style
The most important element in my teaching is planning, preparing, engaging with students and motivating them to carry on learning Korean. During the lesson the main textbook files to suit your levels will be offered for a structured lesson. My Korean lesson will be engaging, fun and interactive. Teaching materials and resources are endless. Some of them are made by myself as I am currently developing my own Korean text book. Youtube videos and other websites on Korean cultural, social sides you want to learn will be my teaching materials as well. After lesson a lesson file will be sent to you to make sure you can review what you learn.My teaching material

Employment statement - Korean Education Centre UK Korean Embassy - 2020I have been teaching Korean and its culture to Holy Trinity School in England. This is a Korean Language and culture exchange programme funded by the Korean government. It can be only run by only 30 qualified Korean school teachers in the UK. As a teacher I have played a role of a civil ambassador to promote Korean culture and language even to students who didn't know Korea and Korean before. Based on these experiences I can teach Korean really well to any one who don't know any Korean.

Suksuk 선생님 is so friendly, patient and really well prepared. I really enjoyed my trial lesson with her and she makes me feel so comfortable at class. Having a teacher that understands how difficult it is to learn a language really helps. Looking forward to my next lesson already! 🥰
