Hello! I'm Mina, a Korean professor at a university in the United States. With a Bachelor's degree in Korean and Korean literature and a Master's in Speech and Language Pathology from Seoul, Korea, I bring over 20 years of experience teaching Korean language and employing evidence-based teaching methods. Previously, I worked as a speech and language therapist in Seoul, specializing in working with special needs children, honing my skills in facilitating their language development.

Having taught Korean to over 200 students of various ages, ranging from preschool to college, I've always infused my teaching with passion and dedication. I believe that language learning should be enjoyable and engaging, hence I organize events like "Korean Award Night" and "Performance in Korean Night" to involve my students and their families actively. Moreover, I served as the director (principal) of a Korean School supported by the Korean government for two years, overseeing its management and curriculum development.

I'm committed to making learning fun yet effective, always crafting lesson plans and tailor-made resources for each student. Currently, I teach Korean courses for different proficiency levels at the college level, where I enjoy interacting with my students and designing curricula using innovative teaching methods. Additionally, I've completed all the requisite training courses to obtain the "Certificate of Korean Teacher" awarded by the Korean government, ensuring my qualifications and expertise in the field.

If you choose me as your Korean teacher, you'll find a trustworthy and professional educator dedicated to your learning journey, offering patience, love, experience, and teaching skills. Thank you (Kam-sa-ham-ni-da)!

Korean

Hi! I am Mina. I was born in Seoul, Korea and am a Korean native speaker. I studied "Korean and Korean literature" (Bachelor's) and "Speech and Language Pathology" (Master's) at Ewha Womens University, Seoul, Korean. I have taught Korean over 20 years in Korea and America in my life. I worked in a Korean Speech Clinic to help special need children to speak Korean well during 1997 - 2000. I loved to work there to facilitate their language with proved therapy skills. In 2001 Our family moved to America. I began to teach Korean at my house since 2004. I met many Korean American students who spoke English but struggled to speak Korean. Also I taught American students who wanted to learn Korean computer software skills in Korea later or who wanted to learn Korean culture and language because they loved K-drama or K-pop so much. I taught many various students (+70) of different age from preschoolers to college students. I host a couple of Korean class events for my students and their family like "Korean Award night" and "Performance in Korean Night". I also got a privilege to serve and managed a Korean School that is supported by Korean government at Waco Korean Baptist Church for 2 years as a director (principal). Also, I had worked as a lead preschool teacher in America for two years (2017-2019). It even strengthened my teaching skills in English as I managed successfully my 2-3 years old classes as I planned and prepared a lot of lesson and taught them with age appropriate teaching method in English. Now, I am a licensed Speech and Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) who is working in Thrive Skilled Pediatric in America. This position is to help special need children to communicate well in English according to their language developmental stage after deep language evaluation. I am confident to teach Korean with my passion, patience, experience and teaching skills like above. If you choose me, you'll find a trustworthy and professional Korean teacher who will do best for you! (Thanks)!

Wonderfully engaging!

Ms Mina did an amazing job with my 2 boys (ages 7&9) in getting them prepared for our upcoming move to Korea. Despite being over the computer, Ms Mina brings so much engagement and life into the lessons. She truly understands the developmental needs of younger students and would act out her vocabulary and concepts to really cement the concepts of what she was teaching. They would always come out smiling after a lesson! We feel so thankful that we were able to find her as a tutor and are disappointed that we had to end lessons due to our move to a different time zone. Thank you again for your wonderful lessons! You have helped make our transition much smoother!

Great tutor for my teen

My daughter needed a tutor for her upcoming trip to Korea. Mina has been wonderful at teaching conversational Korean and giving her a great basic understanding for her trip. She is also a great communicator, letting me know what was covered in each lesson and what to expect for the next lesson. Highly recommend her!

Amazing Korean Tutor

Mina has been working with my daughter on her Korean language skills for about 2 months now. My daughter is progressing quite nicely and able to say and understand many words and phrases. More importantly, my daughter loves attending her Korean lessons each week and asks to practice to impress her Korean teacher. We are so thankful we found Ms. Mina!

We are so thankful to have Mrs. Mina Yeon as a Korean tutor for my 6- and 4-year-old children! She is very patient, thorough, and gifted in keeping young children engaged and attentive. She has a very thorough background in speech therapy and early childhood development and knows how to teach korean and conversation to students with fun and effective strategies. I can’t recommend Mrs. Mina enough!
