With 10+ Years Experience | Master's in Korean Education from Seoul

Chiwon C.

My name is Chiwon.
I am a certified Korean teacher with over 10 years of experience, passionate about helping learners of all ages master the Korean language. I hold a Master’s degree in Korean Education for Foreigners, a Bachelor’s degree in Korean Language and Literature, and an official teaching certification from the Korean government. This blend of academic knowledge and hands-on teaching experience allows me to guide students effectively on their language-learning journey.
I’ve worked with students from around the world, particularly in Korea and the USA, ranging from absolute beginners to advanced learners preparing for exams like TOPIK or enhancing their skills for professional reasons. My experience teaching Korean to non-native speakers has helped me break down complex concepts into easy-to-understand steps, while creating a learning environment that is supportive, stimulating, and tailored to each student's level and goals.
For those seeking a strong foundation, I provide structured lessons using textbooks that cover essential skills such as grammar, reading, listening, and speaking. My goal is to ensure that you can apply Korean confidently in practical, everyday situations. For students comfortable with it, I also offer an immersive environment with more Korean input.
For learners focused on speaking, I offer conversation-based lessons that emphasize fluency and pronunciation. I encourage as much Korean usage as possible during lessons, giving constructive feedback to build your skills and confidence in real-time communication.
As a lifelong learner of English, I understand the challenges of learning a new language, especially in a foreign environment. Raising a bilingual teenager has also given me valuable insights into the language acquisition process. Whether you're just starting or looking to refine your skills, I’m committed to helping you achieve your Korean language goals.
