Hi, I’m Panjin! I’m a native Korean speaker based in California, and I’ve been teaching Korean since 2017. I also have professional experience translating Korean movies and documentaries and creating Korean learning materials. Over the years, I’ve worked with students at many different levels, from complete beginners learning their first Korean sentences to advanced learners who want to sound more natural and confident.

My lessons focus on practical Korean that you can actually use in real life. Depending on your goals, we can work on conversation, pronunciation, listening, grammar, vocabulary, or a combination of these skills. I especially enjoy helping students understand difficult grammar in a simple way and improve their pronunciation and natural intonation. I also personalize lessons based on each student’s level, interests, and learning style.

Whether you are learning Korean for travel, family, work, K-dramas, personal interest, or simply because you love the language, I’d be happy to help you build your skills step by step. I’d love to learn more about your goals and what you hope to accomplish with Korean.

Korean

I’m a native Korean speaker with over eight years of experience teaching Korean to students at different levels. My lessons are designed to develop multiple skills together rather than focusing on only one area. During each lesson, we combine conversation practice with learning new expressions and grammar, improving pronunciation and intonation, and practicing how to create natural Korean sentences on your own. I also create level-appropriate dialogues for each student, and we read and practice them regularly during our lessons. This helps students become familiar with essential expressions and natural sentence patterns from the very beginning, while gradually building their reading, speaking, and pronunciation skills. As students improve, the dialogues become more challenging and introduce new vocabulary and expressions in context. Review is also an important part of my lessons. We regularly revisit vocabulary, expressions, and grammar from previous lessons, and I provide personalized homework and vocabulary tests based on what we covered in class. My goal is to help students not only understand Korean, but also remember what they learn and feel comfortable using it naturally in real conversations.

Excellent teacher

Panjin is a wonderful teacher! Her reiteration on spoken exercises and outside subsequent language/cultural knowledge resources really helps me internalize each lesson. I highly recommend her and plan on continue learning with her for a long time.

Great intuition, warm and professional

I was very pleased with Ms. Panjin's teaching methods with my daughter. Panjin first gauged where my daughter was at and deciphered her strengths and weaknesses/challenges in acquiring the Korean language. She was encouraging, not pandering; kind and precise; warm and professional. I believe it's her intuition that made the lesson flow naturally while giving my daughter adequate challenges.

Organized, knowledgable, and amazing tutor!

Over the past few months, Panjin has been an amazing tutor! She comes prepared to every lesson with a lesson plan, provides vocabulary quizzes, and gives homework at the end of every lesson. I've enjoyed learning Korean very much with Panjin!

Knowledgable and Patient Tutor

My son has been taking Korean lessons with Panjin for about almost 2 months and has already shown a lot of improvement in both confidence and understanding of the language. Panjin takes the time to explain grammar and encourages him to speak more confidently. She is patient, organized and cares about his progress. I highly recommend Panjin as a Korean tutor for any family looking for long-term language growth.

Lost in Translation? Not with Panjin!

Learning Korean with this teacher feels less like studying and more like learning with a friend. Panjin explains not just what Koreans say, but why they say it that way. I appreciate her knowledge of tricky grammar points to the cultural nuances found in the culture. She is also really good at personalizing the lesson for my needs and we have gone through terms I can use everyday such as giving directions, what to say at a bank, and medical words for a doctor visit. I’m so thankful because I now have more confidence when reading in Korean and enjoy every lesson with Panjin who is always so patient and kind. I wish I found her earlier but feel super lucky to have found someone this amazing :) I highly recommend Panjin for anyone who wants to learn with a top notch teacher at your own pace!

Dedicated and passionate tutor!

Our daughter has been working weekly with Panjin for several years now. She loves attending her online class and we are amazed at how much she has learned. This is truly a testament to the amazing tutor that Panjin is -- the structured lessons make it really easy for our 8 year old to follow and her kind, and patient demeanor puts our daughter at ease to where she has developed a love and determination for learning Korean. Thank you, Panjin, for all you do!

Detailed, Organized, and Friendly

I’ve only had one lesson so far, but Panjin is a great tutor for many reasons. She is very detailed about pronunciation and other rules and is willing to build course material around your interests. Her session is organized by a syllabus that is easy to follow and she gives detailed homework assignments that help you feel supported in your learning journey outside of class. I’m looking forward to continuing my lessons with her.
