What our students say about their Korean learning journey with us

Not all good teachers need to be old

I must say, at first I was a little nervous that my teacher looks so young. That changed very quickly. She is sincere, professional and knowledgeable in his approach to teaching. Through his encouragement, Korean is starting to feel more like a first language to me. I love to study Korean with my group classmate, and we had lots of fun during the practice

A motivational mentor

Thank you, Korean Explorer and my teacher, it has been a truly motivational experience learning Korean from her. All the class students like and respect her professionalism and the way in which she's inspired us learning this language. Now I am taking Korean as one of my subjects in school so with this extra help from class; I am sure I can attain a higher level of speaking and reading skills

Prepared me for an internship in Seoul

I consider myself extremely lucky to have studied Korean with Korean Explorer. The School takes a lot of care in ensuring that everyone understands the learning, adjusting the pace of the lesson to the students' needs. The learning pace of the beginner group class is great. I trusted the good syllabus produced by Seoul National University has great benefit to our language learning.

Removed my doubts about learning the Korean language

At first, I was doubtful about learning a foreign language like Korean. All this changed the moment Korean Explorer teacher introduced the course to me. Our teacher is a native Korean speaker with an excellent command of English. I had fun learning from her, and she goes way beyond the scope of the standard handbook. My Private class schedule is flexible, and this enables to adjust the classes base on my work.

A passionate and motivational teacher

My Korean teacher, she is young and enthusiastic, it's been great fun learning from her. She's by far the best foreign language teacher I've ever had. She engages the class and motivates us. Having completed beginner level 1, I'm able to read some Korean and can easily engage in basic conversation. The group class learning tools like video lessons, workbook and CDs play an important role in the whole learning process.

Jun 샘 was very engaging throughout all the lessons which made the beginner course interesting. Great that the lessons are recorded to help with revision too as there may be quite a lot of vocabulary taught during the lessons.

I had fun learning Korean from teacher Jun, he is very friendly and interesting! This is my 2nd course with him. He doesn't just teach the language but gives insights on things to do look out for in Korea. I also like that the classes can be in person and online, I wish we can have more classes!

Jun 쌤 is a very animated language teacher. He shares day to day anecdotes and daily conversational lingo phrases that are relatable. It’s been an interesting experience learning about the language and culture through this Conversational Korean Beginner Course. Thanks for the fun language tidbits during lessons!
