Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Hello, my name is Olivia Jo, and I am thrilled to offer my services as a native Korean tutor specializing in teaching Korean to English speakers. With extensive experience in teaching Korean and English to international students in the States, South Korea, and Vietnam, I have developed a deep understanding of how to tailor my teaching strategies to suit the unique needs and learning styles of different individuals. Recognizing that each student has distinct goals, interests, preferences, and learning paces, I am committed to delivering personalized and engaging classes. My objective goes beyond solely helping my students improve their language skills; I strive to ensure that every session is enjoyable and filled with excitement. To create a dynamic and immersive learning environment, I utilize a diverse range of resources. From exploring natural sentence structures to mastering Korean figures of speech, I incorporate various materials such as media, movies, K-pop lyrics, and YouTube videos into our lessons. This interactive approach enables my students to practice conversations, enhancing their speaking and listening abilities while fostering a genuine passion for the Korean language. If you are eager to embark on a rewarding language learning journey, I am here to guide you every step of the way. Let's unlock your full potential in Korean while having a great time together.

I have been taking Korean lessons with Olivia for about a month now, and I feel like I have learned so much! We have already started having conversations in Korean! Her lessons are not only informative, but are also fun. She personalizes each lesson and really cares about her students, breaking down every sentence and always taking the time to make sure I understand everything. One of my favorite parts about her lessons are her OKI’s at the end of each lesson, where she introduces native Korean slang words that you would never learn in a textbook. I look forward to her lessons every week and I’m grateful that Olivia is my Korean teacher! 감사합니다!

I have lived in Seoul, Korea for the past four years and have learned the local language there. However, upon moving back to the States, I find myself lacking opportunities to speak Korean and interact with Korean people. Therefore, I decided to take Korean classes to continue improving my language skills. It has been enjoyable to discuss various topics, share experiences, and delve into Korean culture, history, sites, and social issues with Olivia as my tutor. Personally, I'm really enjoying her classes as they perfectly align with my needs and preferences, working great for me.

Olivia really is the best Korean language tutor I’ve ever had. I watched so many K-dramas and got into K-POP few years ago. So far, I have tried several different ways of learning Korean but it didn’t really work for me and I couldn’t really see any results or improvement on my language skills. But I found her service and tried it out which turned out to be the best choice ever! Besides her classes, I just genuinely enjoy talking about Korean stuff with Olivia, she’s so sweet! It’s really awesome to have somebody who I can share my interests with and she teaches me a lot about Korean culture too! Recently she encouraged me to apple for an exchange student program in Korea and I’m seriously thinking about it..!!

Olivia Jo is an amazing tutor! She teaches so well and every lesson plan is customised. She's great on keeping me focused on the lesson while also answering all of the questions I have about culture, grammer, how to pronounce something, etc. I'm aiming to move to The Republic of Korea by summer/fall of 2022 and she is the best tutor on here by far. Pricing is really great, her teaching style is perfect for me and she continues to help me improve! I'm very comfortable speaking with her. I never feel pressured to be perfect, if I make a mistake she helps me through it rather than reprimanding me.
