My Story

I am everyone's favourite Korean teacher, as you can see, I have an interesting name isn't it? Students like to name me 구쌤 'Goo Ssaem', a Seoul-based native Korean speaker with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Chung-Ang University. I'm an ENTP (MBTI), which means I'm outgoing, creative, and endlessly curious about the world and the people in it. With a clear voice and precise pronunciation, I'm here to guide you through the nuances of the Korean language and culture. I've always been passionate about teaching and connecting with new people from diverse backgrounds.

My approach to learning is engaging, fun, and tailored to each student's interests and goals.

Whether you're intrigued by K-dramas, K-pop, or the rich tapestry of Korean traditions, I'm here to make your language learning journey as enjoyable and enriching as possible.

Throughout my journey as a Korean language tutor, I've specialized in teaching speaking skills, an area where I've found my passion and purpose.

My approach is somewhat unique—I prefer not to rely on textbooks for our lessons. Instead, I focus on immersive, conversational practices that revolve around daily life, current events, and topics of interest to you. This method has proven highly effective, with many of my students showing remarkable improvement in their ability to communicate in Korean.

By engaging in discussions on a wide range of subjects, from the simplest day-to-day activities to more complex cultural nuances, my students develop not only their language skills but also their confidence in using Korean in real-world situations. This experience has equipped me with the ability to adapt to various learning styles and preferences, ensuring that each lesson is both enriching and enjoyable.

My ultimate goal is to make learning Korean feel less like a classroom exercise and more like a natural, engaging dialogue between friends, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Korean language and culture.

How about we turn learning Korean into your next great adventure? Imagine chatting in Korean about everything from your favorite K-pop band to the latest Netflix binge, all without cracking open a textbook. That's the journey we'll embark on together!

My teaching is all about fun and friendly conversations that bring the Korean language to life. Think less about memorizing grammar rules and more about meaningful chats that spark joy and curiosity. It's amazing how quickly you can improve when you're genuinely enjoying the process.
