Yunmi is incredible! She is super patient and brings a breath of fresh air and excitement to every lesson! She also provides the resources provided in lessons, so that you can continue practicing after class. I'd recommend her to anyone who is trying to learn to speak Korean!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before the actual class, I talk enough with students who want to learn Korean with a trial session. We'll talk about what goals you have and how to study fully, and then set a formal class date and proceed with the class.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I majored in Journalism at university in Korea. After that, I've been teaching Korean for heritage learners at a Korean school in the United States for six years.
While in the United States, I majored in a bachelor's degree in Korean language at a prestigious university in Korea as an online course. After that, I took short-term teacher training courses provided by other prestigious universities. I also completed the teacher training course provided by ACTFL in the United States.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
At first, I taught Korean to Heritage learner at Korean school every weekend with a mind of volunteering. While teaching students, I wanted to teach them more professionally, so I got a bachelor's degree in Korean language, participated in training Korean teachers, and obtained a certificate of professional teacher. I really enjoyed this job and loved it, so I was able to get this far.
