Hello, My name is Young. I am a native Korean teacher who was born and grew up in Seoul, South Korea. I earned bachelor’s degree from Ewha Woman’s University in fine art and my master’s degree at Korean International University in Performing Art and Education. My experience includes hosting seven solo exhibitions and many group exhibitions in different cities of the world. I have earned awards Honorable Mention from Watercolor Society of Hawaii and several other awards including Grand Prize from International Woman’s Art Festival in Seoul. I have also been appointed to judge for juried art exhibitions (2012 NEO-POX) in Seoul.

I have been teaching Art and English as a second language for more than 13 years . Through all those experiences, I have developed teaching strategies and skills that I now utilize to teach the Korean language to foreign speakers. I am truly passionate in teaching students who wish to learn Korean language. One of my teaching principles is that in order to learn a foreign language effectively, one also needs to understand that the culture is intertwined with the language. As someone who has lived in Korea and studied Korean Culture professionally, I am able to teach the Korean culture as well as K-pop and K-drama to assist their learning language.
I am a patient, encouraging, and creative teacher who knows how to teach in easy and effective ways.

I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

And I’ve arranged solo and group exhibitions to enhance and stimulate the student’s art skill. Also, I have taught and set up for life figure drawing class with live models which needs advance drawing skill to take the course.

very patient, and took time to explain.

I really enjoyed my lesson today! My teacher was very patient, she was kind in her explanations and I look forward to learning from her! She took the time to make sure I understood and went over it again if I didn’t. I am very thankful for her.

Nicole, 4 lessons with Youngkeun

Very nice teacher

She made sure I was speaking correctly and complimented me well. I enjoyed learning with her. Very patient and nice.

Knowledgeable, kind, patient

I am half Korean and have been exposed to Korean for a long time. I've been nervous about trying to learn again because I feel like I should know more than I do, and am often embarrassed that I don't. Youngkeun is very kind and patient and she clearly cares about me learning. I've had some teachers be shaming and she is not that way. She is always supportive and kind when I have questions. I am learning a lot!

Schuyler, 25 lessons with Youngkeun

Encouraging

Really nice and encouraging. There's a bit of a lag in the video so it makes it seems like she's going faster than she actually is. That makes it a little difficult to communicate. I was really nervous but she was kind and cares about what she is teaching.

Great experience!

As a 2nd generation Korean American, I have struggled with my Korean language deficiency for decades. I have tried to improve by watching Korean language television, through self-study, and (in university) by spending time with Korean friends. After I decided that I needed assistance to attain an acceptable level of fluency, I looked into tutoring options. I was hesitant to try online tutoring, but my initial experience with this teacher was excellent! I strongly encourage anyone looking to learn or improve Korean language skills to reach out and book a lesson.

Wonderful and gifted tutor

I loved her sense of patience and purpose - she is a kind and insightful tutor and she provided lovely structure and tips on how to learn while creating an environment that was perfect for learning. Can’t wait for my next lesson - she is awesome!

Simmi, 29 lessons with Youngkeun

Great instructor and first lesson

Youngkeun reached out to me ahead of the first lesson to check on goals and language proficiency, as I had previously studied Korean. She made sure I had the basics down and then customized the lesson, always making sure things made sense. I never felt rushed. For my first lesson, I could not have asked for a better instructor!

Knowledgeable and goes at learner's pace

선생님 Youngkeun is very patient and extremely knowledgeable about how to teach the Korean language properly. For someone who loves to learn languages, I find it very important to find someone who knows how to explain things in a clear and concise manner. In our first lesson, she was very punctual and had a whiteboard ready, which was very helpful. Additionally, she goes right ahead to explain what Hangeul (the Korean alphabet) is, its origin, and the vowels. She makes sure to go at the learner's pace and answers any questions you might have. I just did my second lesson and I have gotten the vowels and many of the constants down already! I would highly recommend taking lessons with her.

Excellent teacher! highly recommend!

Youngkeun is an excellent teacher. She made our first lesson really fun, informative and exciting. Love how she incorporates history and background info into the lesson, it gives a great base to build off of. Can’t wait for our next meeting to continue my Korean!
