Looking for a place where your child or teen can learn Korean in a fun way?! All classes are taught via Zoom. These are LIVE classes, not an app or a program. Students are expected to have their video camera and audio on if possible, so they can be active and present! Parents are welcome to join the classes, sit in the background, or watch/listen from afar! Our instructor Yonghi has years of experience, holds multiple Korean teaching certifications, and has been fully background checked and verified. (You can read more about her bio below)

• Small class sizes! Maximum of 4 students per class (except for story time classes – those can have up to 6 students)
• Interactive and engaging! Depending on the age-group, Yonghi uses lots of fun songs, visual aids, actions, games, and activities to help keep students engaged and excited during class time!

Meet the instructor:

YONGHI

Hello, 안녕하세요? I am Yonghi (or Julie). I was born and raised in Seoul, Korea and have been a language instructor for over 20 years. I am proud that I have a very standard Korean accent and even worked as a radio reporter for 2 years. I have a BA in English Language, an MA in Korean Literature and Creative Writing, TESOL certification, and Korean School Teacher Certification. I taught mostly English in Korea, but when I came to America about 25 years ago, I began teaching more Korean language. Especially after finishing my master’s degree in Korean Literature and Creative Writing, I realized teaching Korean is a more meaningful mission for me. So, I completed multiple levels of Korean School Teacher Certification programs from The Overseas Koreans Foundation. 

I previously taught students from pre-school to graduate school at a local Korean school, lectured in University of Texas El Paso’s STARTALK program, a federal grant foreign language program funded by NSA for Korean language, and instructured high school foreign language credit courses at online schools. I also frequently do freelance translation/interpretation work remotely or in person and private tutoring for all ages.

My goal for my language class is that students can learn Korean as if they’re in Korea. I also focus on topics that students are interested in and develop my lesson plans based on students’ needs and interests, and I introduce culture and history throughout the course.  I am fully aware of students’ busy schedules and work hard to make the most of our time. I treat all my students as I do my own 3 children and am flexible, patient, and professional.

In my spare time, I love watching movies, singing with my piano or guitar, writing short stories, volunteering at various places, and traveling with my family.

I am looking forward to sharing my enthusiasm for the Korean language with you and helping you speak fluently. Most importantly, I hope  that you can enjoy and have fun in the process of learning this beautiful language. Hope to see you in my class!
