I am Korean-American and have grown up with a life long desire to speak Korean. My parents tell me that I spoke mostly Korean up until the age of 5 at which point sadly, (for whatever reason) my parents decided not to speak Korean to me anymore because they did not want me to have an accent. I ended up losing all of the language and could barely speak a few words. I had developed a feeling of paralysis - my tongue became lame when it tried to speak the language that was so intimate and comforting to me as a young child. I was absolutely incapable of speaking it. I even became afraid of speaking the few words I did know because I had been teased for having terrible pronunciation. The embarassment of not being able to speak one's native tongue has been tremendously painful for me. I tried hiring a private korean tutor for a year. I spent another year listening to audio CDs in the car. Finally, I decided I needed someone to speak with me for me to learn it. I found Sue on craigslist. Even though it's only been a few months with her, I can already see a big difference in my pronunciation and my understanding of the language has deepened. I have achieved more in three months with Sue than I have after a year of traditional tutoring and audio CDs. Sue has tailored the lessons to suit my needs for conversations and she listens and corrects me without judging me which was so important for me. I am so glad I found Sue and I can't wait to progress further! Just regarding technical details, she is organized and reliable. It is easy to pay her and she provides coursework to follow so there haven't been any additional costs beyond the price of the lessons. It's been so convenient since we just connect over the phone. With two young children and working full-time, I wouldn't even be able to attend a course at a school or college. Luckily, with Sue as my phone tutor, I can learn even better than I would in a classroom setting and it's more convenient! There is nothing better than a win-win situation if you ask me!

I have been studying with Suebeet for the past several months now and it has been exactly what I was looking for. I only spoke Korean for the first few years of my life but gradually forgot quite a bit as the years went on. Then I took a trip to Korea this past spring and realized I wanted to improve my skills, both speaking and reading/writing. I realized that I would only have gotten so far trying to do things on my own (and probably would have rapidly lost motivation doing it solo), so I'm very glad I was able to find her as my teacher. The lessons are challenging but enjoyable. I do a good amount of homework during the week, then we meet once or twice a week over Skype to go over the homework, as well as to receive additional instruction. The homework ranges from textbook learning (vocab, grammar, reading comprehension, etc), to watching korean dramas/tv shows and writing up summaries that we discuss. The lessons are very flexible and she tailors them to what your needs are. My work schedule is somewhat erratic and she always works around them. She is very friendly and approachable, and has deep knowledge of the Korean language and is able to make things very relatable and easy to understand. I have realized quickly that I have so much to learn, but have already seen improvements and feel more confident in my vocabulary, as well as my speaking abilities. I look forward to continue learning and thank you!

I am Korean, and had never learned to read and write. Over time I increasingly began to lose my ability to speak the language properly as well. I tried Korean classes and for one work reason or another, would not make one class, which would then cause me to fall entirely behind, and then I would have to re-register and have the same thing happen again. Enter Teacher Suebeet! Learning from her has been fun, easy, and surprisingly very enjoyable. She is dexterous in her teaching and is able to pick up on certain brain quirks, quickly changing the method to help with the comprehension if one way is not applying. My work schedule is quite demanding and most of the time I cannot prepare with my studies sufficiently prior to our next session; she customized our program to study with me during the lessons and now I am not overwhelmed with having too much on my plate and viewing learning Korean as an additional stressor. I'm so so so so happy that I followed through with this and am so so so happy she exists - being able to do it over Skype is also a critical factor in my ability to continue achieving this lifelong dream. She is the best and I heart her.

Sue is a wonderful tutor. She is very knowledgeable on Korean language, and an amazing teacher. She is so polite and patient, she addressed my questions in a calm, collected manner. I am very satisfied with her tutoring and will be working with her more in the future.

Suebeet has been so incredibly helpful! As someone who's spent a few years in Korea and is looking to keep increasing my fluency, she's been incredible. She's friendly, knowledgeable, and explains concepts well. I plan on continuing my education with her for the foreseeable future!
