About Heather


Bio

Hello, I’m Heather!
I am a bilingual Korean and English tutor with over 20 years of teaching experience. I was born and raised in South Korea and studied English in British Columbia, Canada, for three years starting in 1997. After returning to Korea, I taught ESL to students ranging from ages 2 to 18 at various language schools. In 2003, I earned my ESL/TESOL certification while living in Victoria, Canada. I later moved to Michigan, where I taught Business Korean to local companies.

Hello, I’m Heather!
I am a bilingual Korean and English tutor with over 20 years of teaching experience. I was born and raised in South Korea and studied English in British Columbia, Canada, for three years starting in 1997. After returning to Korea, I taught ESL to students ranging from ages 2 to 18 at various language schools. In 2003, I earned my ESL/TESOL certification while living in Victoria, Canada. I later moved to Michigan, where I taught Business Korean to local companies.
Since moving to the East Coast, I’ve worked with a diverse range of students, including middle and high schoolers who need extra support with English, adults looking to build their conversational skills, and learners passionate about Korean language and culture. I adapt my lessons to each student’s unique goals — whether it’s mastering grammar, improving speaking confidence, or understanding cultural nuances.
I pride myself on being patient, understanding, and adaptable. My lessons are thoughtfully organized, creative, and tailored to each student’s unique goals and learning style. Because I learned English myself, I understand how to guide language learners through the challenges of speaking, listening, reading, and writing in a new language. I focus on practical strategies that help students build confidence while making learning enjoyable and rewarding.

Whether you’re a beginner, an advanced learner, or somewhere in between, I’m committed to helping you achieve your goals. I’d love to support you on your language-learning journey — let’s get started!

Excellent, experienced, professional

I needed preparation in Korean in order to study in SK and had the privilege of being tutored for 15+ sessions by Miss Heather. She’s experienced in teaching and makes many great micro adjustments to better fit your learning pace and helps you reach your goals. She is personable and quite understanding when it comes to making mistakes. It is a safe and encouraging learning space. I viewed Korean as quite a daunting task, but only after the few first classes with Miss Heather I became more confident and achieved a higher level in areas I struggled with. I have finished my classes with her and feel much more prepared to go abroad and explore the unknown with my new set of skills :) Thank you Miss Heather! 10/10 Korean tutor!

촤고의 멋진 선생님

문법을 다지면서 화법을 체계적으로 설명해주셔서 많은 도움이 되었습니다. 내 상황과 수준에 맞추어 원하는 방형으로 잘 이끌어 주셨습니다. 심리적으로 불안과 걱정이 많았는데 선생님은 많은 좋은 이야기와 용기를 주셔서 많은 도움이 되었습니다. 미국에 오신 한국인이시라면 헤더 선생님의 도움을 받아보시면 좋을것 같습니다.

first tutoring session with Heather C

Great introduction to learning the alphabet, vocabulary, and recognizing formal and informal greetings. She was very patient and understanding throughout the whole session. I look forward to learning more Hangul in the next upcoming sessions.

Such good chemistry!

She started off by reviewing what I already know. She has a structure that is really easy to follow along with that makes it just exciting to learn. I was just so comfortable with her and I could really tell she just enjoyed herself and we just had so much fun. I feel like I have known her forever!

Knowledgeable, Kind, respectful, and responsive tutor.

She explained everything well and responded to my needs and questions. She encouraged me and made me feel successful as a beginner student of Korean. We went over the alphabet and some of the difficult sounds. She helped clear up some of my confusion.
