Dialog-Driven Korean Tutoring: Experience Language & Culture Together

Why Learn with Me? Your Motivation, My Inspiration: Everyone has a unique reason for diving into the Korean language. Are you captivated by the melodies of Korean songs or the drama in TV shows? Perhaps you're charting a career path that intersects with Korea? Or maybe you're just curious about starting a new linguistic journey? No matter your motivation, I'm genuinely interested in hearing your story and understanding your aspirations. Your goals become my teaching compass, guiding each lesson to cater to your ambitions. Overcoming Challenges Together: Korean is undeniably beautiful, but it presents its unique set of challenges. Its distinct grammatical structure and pronunciation nuances might feel intimidating. But with my guidance, you'll navigate these intricacies with confidence, keeping your motivation intact as we journey towards your goals. Proven Track Record: Many of my students, who embarked on this journey as novices, now engage in effortless conversations with me. Their success stories are a testament to both their commitment and the efficacy of my teaching methodologies. Real-Life Dialogues: I take pride in my dialog-driven teaching approach, designing lessons especially for those with aspirations linked to Korea, be it travel, work, or permanent residency. With me, you won't just learn Korean - you'll experience it in its authentic essence. Tailored to Your Needs: Whether you're gingerly stepping into the world of Korean or sharpening your advanced linguistic skills, I mold my lessons to match your proficiency level, ensuring you're always challenged just right. Immerse in Korean Culture: My background as a seasoned movie and documentary translator enriches our lessons with a wealth of cultural insights. Dive deeper than just the language; understand the heart and soul of Korea through its culture, traditions, and narratives.

Taking lessons with Panjin is the best thing I've done to improve my Korean speaking confidence. I'm Korean, but was raised in the US, so my constant frustration and embarrassment has been not being able to speak my language. I've taken lessons with Panjin for about 2 months, and I've seen my knowledge and confidence has grown so much since then! She caters the lessons to my level and interest, and provides a really important native cultural perspective. She is very supportive, and I feel comfortable trying my best and making mistakes in front of her. I feel very lucky to have met her as a teacher - 5 stars!

I had my first lesson today and I can already recite the Korean alphabet (한글) and sound out basic words! 판진 (Panjin) was thorough and gave lots of encouragement throughout the class. It was easy and fun, and I'm already feeling more confident about my decision to study abroad in Korea this fall. I can't wait to learn more during my next lesson. 판진 might be the best Korean teacher on TakeLessons :)
