As a second - generation Korean American, I grew up speaking both English and Korean simultaneously.
I have lived here in the States and also in South Korea. I am an experienced tutor who has taught Korean and English as second/foreign languages for many years.

Knowledgeable, Resourceful, Patient, and Supportive Tutor
I have been meeting with Steve for the past four months to learn Korean. Steve is a knowledgeable, resourceful, patient, and supportive tutor. He brings a rich understanding of Korean language, culture, and society, as well as his educational background in linguistics, tutoring experience, and a wealth of resources into sessions. The content of his lessons is practical and interesting. He breaks down difficult concepts and answers questions thoroughly. We do speaking and writing exercises which are engaging and interactive. He also assigns relevant homework and readings. He is easy to reach by phone and is prompt with text messages & emails. He is flexible and accommodating in terms of scheduling and meeting location. He is always early to sessions and prepared. I highly recommend Steve as a tutor.

Patient, clear teaching
I really appreciated the level of patience Steve had. He didn’t make me feel nervous or embarrassed for pronouncing any words wrong, I look forward to our future lessons.

Patient and funny
I've only recently found Steve, but he's helping me learn conversational Korean. He's been particularly patient and funny, both very necessary especially as a student with some learning difficulties. I highly recommend his service!

Excellent tutor!!
My first lesson was amazing. He really gets to know you before starting on the background of Korea. Then into the lesson. It’s really great that you actually have a teacher to get to know. Makes the lesson more comfortable. His slides are easy to follow and he is patient with you.
