안녕하세요! Hi, I'm Victoria.

안녕하세요! Hi, I'm Victoria.

I help students learn Korean in a way that feels fun, interactive, and approachable. If you've ever wanted to learn Korean but felt overwhelmed by textbooks, grammar charts, or not knowing where to start, you're in the right place.

I graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Korean Studies and later lived and taught in South Korea for nearly two years. Since then, I've worked with learners of all ages, from young children and complete beginners to college students, K-pop fans, travelers, and professionals.

Today, I'm also the creator of Soft Korean Club, an online Korean learning community where I share lessons, study challenges, and educational content with more than 1,600 learners on TikTok (@softkoreanclub). Creating engaging learning experiences is one of my biggest passions, and I bring that same energy into my tutoring sessions.

I believe students learn best when they're actively involved, so my lessons focus on participation rather than memorization. I create custom slides, games, visual activities, speaking practice, and personalized learning materials that help students stay motivated and build confidence. My goal is to make Korean feel less like a school subject and more like a skill you can actually enjoy using.

Whether you're learning Hangul for the first time, preparing for a trip to Korea, studying for a class, or simply learning for fun, I tailor lessons to your goals, interests, and learning style. I strive to create a relaxed, encouraging environment where questions are welcome, mistakes are part of the process, and every bit of progress is worth celebrating.

Learning a language is a journey, and I'd love to help make yours a little more fun. I look forward to meeting you!

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.

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.
