About Jihye L.

4.9
(186)
Hello, future students! My name is Jihye and I teach Piano and the Korean language. I grew up in Seoul, Korea and currently living in Los Angeles, California. I graduated from Kyung Hee University and earned a Master's degree at the California Institute of the Arts. I have been teaching piano for 20 years and Korean at Korean language schools. Recently, I worked as a guest speaker at the new social media platform Clubhouse that launched as a new program at TakeLessons. In the past, I have met many K-pop and K drama lovers so I decided to share my culture and language with them. So far I have met many passionate and enthusiastic students whom I feel very lucky to work with. I offer a personalized curriculum to each of my Korean and piano students. Also, help students who prepare piano level exams such as CM, ABRSM, and SATII, TOPIK for the Korean language. I sometimes use clips of songs and dramas to help students who learn Korean. Are you ready to learn?? Let's begin taking lessons!!

I was extremely nervous before my first lesson but Jihye made me feel at ease. I’ve only had two lessons so far but she’s a great teacher and very patient. Easy to build rapport with and friendly environment for learning. The Korean textbook has great visuals for each lesson.

Jihye 선생님 is an excellent teacher. She is well-versed and helpful in correcting my pronunciation. I am glad I am learning more about Korean history while growing my vocabulary.
