What people are saying:
Not a do-it-yourself course. Not a grammar class.
Daily training with me on the sentences of YOUR life, until they come out automatic.
Real students, in their own words. Nothing edited out — they say it better than I can.
Daniella runs a business in Switzerland. She came in WITH a tutor. Good teacher, good materials, a new topic every day. Around 90% of it never stuck.
“…For the first time, I feel like the language is really starting to stick instead of constantly slipping away…”
Sita is a doctor. 19 months of apps, YouTube, structured courses. The apps were too simple. The courses felt like school. So she was never consistent.
“It is a commitment, but I was looking for a commitment that would hold me accountable financially, but also time-wise as well. Every day, there’s something that I have to do. But that’s what I wanted.”
Richard moved to Korea in 2022. Group lessons, courses, apps. His problem: “there’s only so much passive learning that I can do by myself.” Now he handles the phone calls, the insurance company, the car repair. In Korean.
“It was completely customized. Exactly the kind of situations you would find yourself in, in real life, living in Korea. We did so many role plays based on real situations, using real structures and phrases that people really do use. That gave me the confidence.”
Rebecca grew up hearing Korean from her parents every day. She understood almost everything. She could not speak back. Three years of textbook tutoring did not change that.
“I could really understand Korean quite well. I was really frustrated. I couldn’t speak back. I was really limited in being able to say what I really wanted to say.”
Josielyn was already in two group classes, tutoring, and a weekly language exchange. Grammar was coming in. Speaking was not.
Then one day in a bakery she gave up her seat to a young mother and the Korean came out on its own:
“I just said that to her without even thinking about it. It just came out.”
Dina is a product manager in New York. Apps since November, then a weekly group class. Grammar once a week was too slow, and her Korea trip is in October.
“I still, of course, freeze. But not with everything. So it gets you past that hump. You understand things I’m interested in, and you make that the focus of what I’m going to be practicing, because that’s what I would be talking about. And that repetition is what gets me unstuck.”
Jamelah did years of apps. Repetition, yes. Feedback, none.
“When you want to actually start to speak, the apps cannot tell you, oh, this is how you speak. Only the correct human will tell you, no, this is how you’re supposed to say it.”
Everything, including what it costs.
15 to 30 minutes a day.
No desk. No free evening needed. The audios are made so you can do them during a walk, in the car, while cooking. The weekly calls you book whenever suits you best.
And honestly: time is rarely the real problem. The little decisions around picking what and how to study are.
My current students: a doctor, a business owner, a product manager. None of them have much free time.
BOOK A CALL →If you are not a beginner, have studied Korean for a while, understand a bit, and still freeze when it is your turn to speak: this is exactly for you.
How can the same mentorship fit different levels? There is no curriculum to fit into. Every sentence is built from your life, at your level, and we move at your speed. A student one level below you is simply training different sentences.
One exception: if you are starting from absolute zero, this is not a fit (yet). Start in my free community — the challenges and shadowing there are made for you. Come back when you understand more than you can say. You will recognize the feeling.
BOOK A CALL →Not “fluent.” Nobody honest sells you fluent in 90 days, and it also really depends on your starting level. If somebody is 99% fluent, joins, and becomes fluent after 3 months — should I praise that as a success?
But:
And you will not have to take my word for it — watch the student interviews above.
BOOK A CALL →You cannot be behind. There is no class.
The plan is yours alone. If a week goes sideways, we slow down and your struggle sentences carry forward into next week until they are automatic. Nothing is skipped. You never start over.
The only thing I ask: do not disappear. A 5-minute day beats a zero day, and the time it takes to tell me “this week is crazy” could have been used to send in the recording for the day.
And here is the thing: I am on your team. I will not leave you by yourself.
BOOK A CALL →Me. Seunghee. No assistant tutors.
I taught Korean at universities for 8 years (over 500 foreign students). The last two years I have worked 1-on-1.
I personally listen to every recording and record every correction in my own voice. That is why the mentorship is capped at 15 students. When it is full, it is a waitlist until a student finishes.
BOOK A CALL →Programs run 3 to 6 months depending on your starting point and your goal.
Three months is $3,000, paid at once (monthly / payday options available).
