My Background
Hello, my name is Sunghoon (Sun). I’m a native Korean speaker and a certified Korean language teacher, officially recognized by the National Institute of Korean Language.
I have over 5 years of teaching experience both online and in-person since early 2020. I’ve taught hundreds of students around the world from all walks of life. My students have various reasons to take lessons – studying or working in Korea, taking up a new hobby, re-connecting with their family of Korean heritage and more. They are making progress each week to reach their goals.
Whatever their reason, they’re making steady progress toward their goals — and you can too.
I strive to be respectful, open-minded, and encouraging. I deeply admire anyone who challenges themselves to learn something new. Learners of all ages, nationalities, professions, and gender identities are always welcome.
My Teaching Methods & Style
Here is what you can expect from my classes:
• A safe and supportive learning space
Learn Korean in a relaxed, encouraging environment where you’re free to make mistakes and grow through trial and error. I’ll gently guide and challenge you when needed — always with your learning goals in mind.
• Customized lessons for your level and goalsTailored lessons based on your current level and learning goals.
Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced learner, your Korean lessons will be tailored to match your current level, interests, and reasons for learning — from everyday conversation to professional or academic needs.
• High-quality learning materials
I use a variety of proven resources, including textbooks from Korea’s top language programs and trusted platforms like Talk To Me in Korean, to support your learning both in and out of class.
• Interactive and engaging lessons
You’ll practice Korean through real-life role plays, casual conversations, and cultural exchange activities, helping you build confidence and fluency while enjoying the process.
