Hello, my name is Jinah, and I originally from Seoul, South Korea. I am a native Korean and have lived in the U.S. for eight years. I am a bilingual (Korean and English). I have over 25 years of teaching experience in Korean and ESL (English as a Second Language). Teaching is my true passion and a calling, and I love to share my mother tongue with people who are interested in learning! Korean culture has become very popular so I try to incorporate as much as I can with the language lesson. I am here to help you accomplish your new language goals. As a language teacher, I want to see your success and sense of accomplishment.

I majored in English Language Education for my B.A., and TESOL (Teaching English to Second Other Language Speakers for my M.A. I have been teaching English and Korean for over 25 years both in South Korea and the U.S.A.

I have been teaching English to ESL and EFL students who are from many different countries. I am currently employed at Saint Mary's University in IEP (Intensive English Program) as an ESL instructor and have been working at this school for four years. In addition, I am also working for Northwest Vista college as an ESL instructor. Furthermore, I have been teaching Korean at UTSA (the University of Texas at San Antonio) KKACSA( Korean American Culture Center in San Antonio) since I came to the U.S.A. I have been tutoring Korean as well in many different ages and settings. It has been a very rewarding job to teach my native language, and have been proud of being Korean as well.

Before I came to the U.S., I had worked as an EFL instructor to Korean learners and had been a manager at an English institution. Even though English is my second language, it helps me teach English in different methods to ESL learners.

I am very passionate, energetic, funny, knowledgeable, and responsible. I strongly believe that b

Hello, my name is Jinah and I am originally from Seoul, South Korea. I am a native Korean and have lived in the U.S. for eight years. I was born and grew up in South Korea until I came to the U.S. over 7 years ago. That being said, I had all my education in South Korea and am a fluent Korean speaker with linguistic knowledge. Being native Korean speakers doesn't mean that they are able to teach languages well. However, I majored in English Education of B.A. and TESOL (Teaching English to Second Other Language Speakers) of M.A., therefore, I know how languages are learned and taught to second language speakers. I have been teaching Korean and English over 20 years in both South Korea and in U.S. and have earned lots of experience in how I can help second language speakers learn better, faster, and more efficiently in a comfortable environment. I have taught Korean at UTSA (University of Texas at San Antonio) as a Korean instructor and also I have been teaching Korean at KACCSA (Korean American Culture Center in San Antonio) since I came in the U.S. I have been also tutoring Korean on Wyzant and have gotten good feedback both from my students and their parents, so they have requested lessons continuously. I am so excited to help my students learn Korean and Korean culture that is my mother tongue. Learning different languages enhances one's life.

What am I doing and What do I like

Jinah practiced several conversations with me in what I am currently doing and what food/activities I like. We even practiced a full conversation without any text to help at the end.

Tutor responded:

Thank you for your sincere feedback. Review the conversation you learned today. 정성어린 피드백 감사합니다. 오늘 배운 대화 잘 복습하세요. Jinah teacher - 지나선생님

Patient and encouraging

Jinah has been wonderful with my 10 year old child. She is very encouraging which helps my child feel confident. She dives right into conversation but is also patient and explains things when my child doesn't understand. She takes the time to connect while they are conversing in Korean. My 10 year old has been enjoying her lessons and learning a lot!

어머님, 좋은 리뷰 감사드립니다. 페니가 아주 재미있게 한국어 공부해서 저도 페니와 공부하는 시간이 아주 즐겁습니다. 앞으로도 계속 즐겁게 한국어 공부할 수 있도록 많이 응원 부탁드립니다. 감사합니다. [지나선생님] Thank you for your good review. Penny studies Korean very interestingly, so I also enjoy studying with Penny. Please continue to support us so that we can continue to study Korean happily. Thank you. [Jinah Korean tutor]

Energetic and engaging Korean tutor

My kids (age 6 and 10) have been learning Korean weekly from Ms. Jinah for the past couple weeks and so far we've had a very great experience. She is engaged with my boys and shows up ready to go! Highly recommend.

Writing Corrections

Jinah pointed out my writing mistakes specifically how I missed a letter. She also taught me plenty of grammar advice when it comes to speaking and writing. Her ability to weave real world situations with lessons from the book is amazing.

Fun and helpful tutor

Jinah helps me with my Korean university class- she has a very fun energy which helps learning subjects like grammar and new vocabulary. She is understanding and tries to see where the student's learning background is from.

Real World Lessons

Combining real world scenarios with textbook lessons really helps me understand how to apply concepts. Excellent teaching style! Would recommend to everybody I know.

Culture, Citizenship, Lifestyle

We spent a lot of time going over how Korean citizenship works, social gestures to use in a formal and informal setting, and also discussing what lifestyle can be in Korea. Was a very productive session atypical from the structured, by the book lessons! Always an exciting time learning more about how the language can be applied in real world scenarios.
