Welcome! I’m Victoria — a Korean and ESL tutor and proud Boren Scholar who loves helping students learn language from zero in a fun, gentle, and confidence-building way. If you’ve ever thought, “I want to learn Korean but don’t know where to start,” you’re in the right place. I specialize in total beginners and students who want clear structure without pressure.

I’ve taught Korean-American toddlers, K-pop–loving adults, college students taking Korean courses, and professionals preparing to live or work in South Korea. I meet each student exactly where they are. I lived and taught in South Korea for two years, and since returning to the U.S. I’ve grown an online language-learning business creating original worksheets, flashcards, and beginner-friendly materials. I’m TESOL-certified and currently teach adult ESL, with a focus on real-world communication and confidence.

My lessons are beginner-safe, well-structured, and customized to your pace and learning style. I create a mistake-friendly environment where students feel comfortable practicing and asking questions. Lessons may include Hangul reading practice, visual supports, cultural context, K-pop or drama examples, role-play, and repetition that actually sticks.

I’m a great fit for total beginners, K-pop or K-drama fans, parents seeking a gentle tutor for their child, and students or professionals preparing for Korea. I’d love to help make Korean or English feel approachable, doable, and exciting.

Korean

Korean

I am a current Korean Studies major. I have competed in the Midwest Korean competition, received the Boren scholarship for Korea, and have been awarded my university’s Korean Language scholarship. Whether you seek to learn Korean for an upcoming travel excursion, work, or to understand KPOP songs and KDRAMAS I am excited to assist you!
Writing

Writing

If you are looking for a personable tutor to help your student improve their writing skills, I am the one for you! I am particularly great at helping students proofread, edit, and polish academic papers and essays. I was selected for Denison's Young Writer's program in high school, due to my writing abilities. Furthermore, I was awarded the NSEP Boren Scholarship, a prestigious scholarship for international studies, due to my well-written essays. I progressed through both high school and college with a 3.9+ GPA, and am a firm believer that all students are capable or greatness!

Very Knowledgeable & Patient Tutor

I'm on my second lesson with Victoria --- and I have already felt that I've learned so much. Not only is she patient and encouraging --- but she makes learning Korean so simple! She has tons of tools to help you understand the language and offers up her time outside of our meetings. I am really looking forward to continuing my lessons with her and learning the language more in depth.

Your review seriously warms my heart-- thank you! It has already been such a pleasure working with you and I look forward to meeting with you more in the future :).

Excellent in every way!

Victoria is an incredibly flexible tutor - easily able to recognize areas that are lacking and adjust lesson plans to focus on improving before moving on to new topics. She makes lessons fun and interesting, and is very supportive both in and outside of meetings. She makes me feel motivated to study and practice between meeting times, and I always look forward to what's next. Couldn't recommend her more for those just starting out learning Korean!

Knowledgeable and patient.

Victoria is great! She is SO patient and knows So much! I can't wait to see how far we go together. :D She has planned out the lessons really well and I can just tell how much thought went into her plans and lessons. You won't go wrong with Victoria. She makes it fun and as stress free as possible.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor that provides a challenge!

Victoria has been my Korean tutor for just over a month, and I wish I would have found her sooner! I have nothing but lovely things to say about learning Korean from Victoria, and I've come a long way in such a short period of time. I've already mastered Hangul and am now a working conversationalist! I'm confident that I will reach my Korean fluency goal with Victoria's help, and she can help you do the same!

She is so great!

Victoria is so patient and prepared for the lesson. She always knows what she's doing, and willing to help you with no judgement. Somehow I learned so much from her in a very short period of time. I definitely recommend Victoria wether you need help on your pronunciation, spelling, or just learning the language in general. She has been a great tutor for me and I bet she will be for you.

Working with you on music + language is so much fun for me! I am thrilled to hear that you are also having a great experience. I cannot wait to see the finished product!

Korean lesson

Very patient and professional. My daughter started learning how to read in Korean today. My daughter is very happy after lesson and is eager to learn more. She can’t wait for her next session.
