About Minhee


Bio

I am a native Korean and have experience teaching Korean 15+ years.

I taught a Korean program at English Kindergarten in Korea after college. Kids learn mainly English at the English Kindergarten. Therefore, they needed extra classes to teach Korean, and I was the main teacher in that program.

I am a native Korean and have experience teaching Korean 15+ years.

I taught a Korean program at English Kindergarten in Korea after college. Kids learn mainly English at the English Kindergarten. Therefore, they needed extra classes to teach Korean, and I was the main teacher in that program. Also, there were many native English speakers from US and Canada working as English teachers, and they also wanted to learn Korean, so I taught them as well.

After finishing school in NY, I focused on teaching Korean at language schools in NYC. I taught groups (up to 10 students) and private in-person classes at all levels in a classroom setting. Many students were college students or young professionals interested in the Korean language and culture. Some of them were preparing to move to Korea for their job. Some were married to Korean families and wanted to learn the language. Some were children whose Korean-American parents signed them up to learn. Some Korean Americans knew a bit of Korean when they were young but lost it and wanted to resume.

I have a passion for teaching Korean and LOVE what I do. I also take it seriously and personally. I often became a good friend to the students; many of them were with me for years to continue learning Korean. I once taught a sibling, and their mom ended up taking a lesson from me as well, three lessons back to back once a week over a year. I still talk to them once in a while.

We will set a goal together, and I help you to get there. I learned English as a second language in my 20s. From my personal experience learning a second language as a grown-up and all of my teaching experience in all age/level groups, I am confident that I am highly qualified to teach Korean.

I have taught Korean to non-Koreans, children, and Korean-Americans last 15 years in New York. It was group lessons in a classroom with up to 10 students or private lessons through language schools in NYC. I can teach from beginner to advanced high levels mixed with Korean culture, music, grammar, vocaburary, and everyday conversation.

Patient, Kind and Flexible Tutor

I have been working with Minhee now for several months and she is a joy to work with. I started learning Korean from scratch and Minhee is able to easily adapt to my learning style and pace of learning. She is also flexible with timing and is understanding then as an adult with a full time job- I don’t always have time to study the way I would like. She is also open to teaching me things beyond the lesson and is responsive to all my questions. It’s been wonderful to work with Minhee and I would recommend her to anybody - but especially beginners!

We look forward to each lesson!

We have been working with Minhee for just over a year now. Our situation: - our KoreanAmerican daughter-in-law had our first grandchild six months ago. She wants to be sure the Korean language stays in their family even though our son is American and they live in the States. And so we met Minhee on the Wyzant site. Minhee caters our lessons to our situation. Most people learn travel words I guess but we learn about ears and nose and fingers and toes and counting to 10 and please and thank you, and food.. :-) Because we have traveled to Korea with our daughter in law and are very good friends with her Korean-speaking parents, sometimes a lot of our lesson is consumed by just discussing cultural issues that are good for us to know. Working with Minhee has just been perfect for us in every way.

Knowledgable and committed tutor

I am a beginner at learning Korean, and it has been a pleasure being tutored by Minhee. Not only is she highly knowledgeable in the lessons she teaches, she is dedicated and will go over time to answer questions. She is patient and flexible, and she truly cares about her students' understanding of the material and applying it. I 10/10 highly recommend her!

Great

minHee is thoughtful and she adapts quickly to my level or my needs. She uses good work material which she makes available for homework. But i find the Wyzant request for 160 characters very annoying

Great teacher, so patient and fun!

Minhee and I reviewed the alphabet and pronunciation. She is so helpful, patient and knowledgable. She was encouraging and immediately tried to help address my weaknesses. I can't wait for the next lesson!

She's fantastic

She is patient, personable, friendly, and is really helping me get over the fear and anxiety I have about learning a new language. I had some pretty bad experiences in high school and this is really helping me get over them.

Amazing Korean Tutor!!!

Minhee's lessons are always informative and fun! I have been taking classes with her for over half a year now and my Korean has significantly improved with her help. She finds the right teaching materials specific to my level, and experiments with different teaching format to help me practice speaking, grammar, listening and comprehension. She is equipped to teach all levels of Korean. Very importantly, Minhee welcomes feedback from her students to better tailor the lesson to their needs. When I told Minhee that I wanted to focus on speaking, she immediately took that into consideration and created a list of discussion topics for our next lesson, where she encouraged me to speak up, helped me with sentence completion and taught me new expressions and vocabulary. To me, that's exactly what I needed so I really appreciate her flexibility and proactiveness. I think learning a foreign language, especially when you don't have the language learning environment to practice, is challenging. Having a tutor who understands your challenge, and is truly caring and knowledgeable, is invaluable to overcome the fear of speaking up. For that, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Minhee and look forward to continuing my Korean learning journey with her.

Patient and encouraging

I appreciate that Minhee is patient and doesn't rush me but still pushes me to move forward and not give up. I like that she took the time to talk with me about my motivation for learning Korean and my preferred learning style. It's obvious that she's an experienced teacher who enjoys her work and it's comforting knowing that I can trust her to guide me on this language-learning journey. If you're reading this and wondering if Minhee would be a good fit for you, why not book a lesson with her and give it a try? On top of being a good teacher, she's also a very likable person, so at the very least you'll spend an hour in good company.

Rating as a language tutor.

Starts with basics and is learning my level of knowledge of Korean. Easy to work with. She corrects me but does not make me feel badly when I am incorrect. She seems to enjoy teaching which to me is important.
