I am a native Korean speaker based in California, specializing in Business Korean for professionals. With a Bachelor of Business Administration from Seoul National University, Korea's top-ranked university, and over eight years as a product manager at LINE (LY Corporation) and Kakao, two of Korea's largest technology companies, I have spent my career communicating in Korean in real business settings, from executive meetings to cross-border collaboration with Japanese and global teams. I have also served as an interpreter at events hosted by KOTRA, Korea's national trade promotion agency, which sharpened my command of formal and industry-specific Korean.
What sets my lessons apart is that I teach the Korean actually used in Korean workplaces, not just textbook Korean. I help professionals master business email writing, meeting participation, presentations, and the honorifics and nuance that shape how you are perceived by Korean colleagues and clients. Because I explain everything clearly in English, even complex grammar and cultural subtleties become accessible, and every lesson is built around your professional goals.
I began teaching Korean during my university years, tutoring elementary school students and fellow college students one on one, which taught me how to adapt to very different ages and levels. Today I focus on adult learners, from beginners building a foundation to advanced speakers preparing for the TOPIK exam or working directly with Korean teams. My lessons are one on one and online, centered on real conversation and practical workplace scenarios, with structured practice between sessions so your progress is steady and measurable.
