About Me
italki teacher since May 8, 2020
Hello. My name is Iva, I’m from Korea, and I love teaching! I’m a certified Korean teacher with a master’s degree in teaching Korean as a foreign language. I have taught Korean in Vietnam to those who want to enter a Korean university. I currently live in Jakarta, Indonesia.
I’m a language learner(I have learned Russian and Vietnamese in addition to English) as well as a teacher. I understand the difficulties of learning a foreign language. It is not easy, but it’s certainly worth it. I assure you it will be much easier and more fun to learn Korean with me. I’m friendly and open-minded with extensive experience abroad. You won’t be bored while studying with me! Hope to see you in my class.
Me as a Teacher
I'm a caring, devoted and patient teacher. I interact closely with students, make meaningful connections and keep them motivated and engaging. I deliver accurate knowledge with a well-structured curriculum, make the learning process enjoyable and help students achieve their goals.
My lessons & teaching style
The biggest advantage of my class is that I personalize my lessons and adjust the course as much as possible to suit students' own needs and interests. I try to make my lessons engaging as much as possible!
At the same time, I can offer standardized classes such as:
- General Korean course; textbook-based
- Grammar class
- Pronunciation class
- Business Korean class
- Academic Korean class
- TOPIK preparation class
- Conversation class; topic to be chosen upon your request

I’ve only been learning Korean from Iva for a month and I seriously can’t believe the progress I’ve made. Her lessons are well structured (with plenty of freedom to allow for natural conversation, too) and she is an outstanding communicator who can use Korean words I already know to explain concepts and vocabulary. If it weren’t for Iva, I would be nowhere near as confident in my speaking ability and would not feel as motivated to continue learning Korean.
이바 선생님, 저한테 잘 가르쳐 줘서 감사합니다!!

If you want a strong foundation in grammar, take Iva's lessons. She gives a thorough explanation and then practice exercises to make sure you understood the concepts and can use them correctly. Thank you, as always!

Iva has consistently been a personable, clear, supportive and FUN teacher to learn from. After spending a few weeks learning Korean grammar from her, I switched to free talking lessons and I am still amazed at how quickly I became conversational thanks to my lessons with her. I recently moved to Seoul and am able to navigate around on my own using only Korean thanks in large part to just a few months of Iva’s organized lessons and overall effective teaching style. If you’re serious about learning Korean, I cannot recommend Iva enough!!!

As always, Iva쌤 was prepared, patient, and purposeful with her lesson (the 3 P's). She can teach everyone from complete beginners to advanced learners. Her grammar teaching approach is great especially for intermediate learners looking to get over the "intermediate plateau". She is able to stick to Korean to explain concepts in simpler ways, without resorting to English. Highly recommend her grammar lessons!
