    About me

    Hello everyone! 😊

    I’m a Korean tutor who was born and raised in Busan, South Korea.


    I have an energetic and curious personality, and I truly enjoy talking with people.

    My classes are always held in a comfortable and fun atmosphere, and I help students speak naturally and confidently as much as possible.


    I graduated from Hanyang University with a major in Korean Language and Literature,

    so I can explain Korean grammar and expressions clearly, accurately, and in an easy-to-understand way.


    ❤️ My Interests


    ✈️ I love traveling!

    I also enjoy traveling around Korea, so I can recommend Korean travel courses and useful expressions that match your interests.


    🏕️ Camping, 🧗 Climbing, 🏔️ Hiking


    🐾 Animals and 🌿 Nature


    🎶 K-pop


    📖 Poetry and novels


    I am a tutor who truly cares about each and every student,

    and I always stay focused and do my best in every lesson.


    I place the highest importance on each student’s individual needs.

    I carefully remember what my students want to achieve and which areas they find challenging,

    and I aim to help them see real progress in their Korean learning.


    Especially for those who have never learned Hangul before,

    I will guide you step by step, building a strong and solid foundation

    so that you can confidently use Korean on your own.


    ❤️ Cultural & Language Experience


    🇵🇭 Worked as a student manager at a language academy in the Philippines


    🇦🇺 Worked as a receptionist at a backpackers hostel and at a claw machine shop in Australia


    Through these experiences,

    I have developed a strong interest in different languages and cultures,

    and I naturally learned how to understand and respect learners’ perspectives.


    ❤️ Korean Teaching Experience


    I became interested in teaching Korean through offline language exchange,

    and I have been teaching Korean both online and offline for about two years.


    Based on my experience working with beginners and learners at various levels,

    I will help you learn Korean in a way that best suits your goals and learning style.


    🔰 Beginner


    We start with basic Hangul consonants and vowels, including

    double consonants and double vowels, and learn how to read words and sentences naturally over about 4 sessions.


    I explain key concepts that are unique to Korean in a clear and simple way.

    For example:


    “안 좋아해요?” → “네, 안 좋아해요.”


    I help clarify expressions that learners often find confusing.


    You will also learn basic greetings and useful words and expressions that can be used immediately,

    organized by real-life situations, so you can start speaking right away.


    🌱 Elementary


    You will learn basic grammar and how to build sentences step by step.

    We practice by changing words and expanding sentences,

    while I continuously check your understanding.


    Rather than just knowing grammar,

    the goal is to use it naturally in real speech through repeated practice.


    🌿 Intermediate

    🗣 Speaking-Focused Lessons


    This class is for learners who understand grammar but lack confidence in speaking.

    I provide situation-based sentence patterns and topics

    to help you move beyond thinking and actually speak out loud.


    📘 Grammar in Use


    You will learn intermediate grammar and practice applying it

    through various situations, materials, and examples,

    so you can use what you learn in real conversations.


    🌳 Advanced


    We work with Korean news articles and video materials together.

    Based on these materials, you will practice:


    Summarizing content


    Answering questions


    Organizing and expressing your own thoughts


    You will also learn a wide range of advanced expressions,

    and I will help you accurately retain and confidently use what you already know.

      After 2 years on Duolingo, I was stuck trying to understand why certain words ended a certain way and now being able to ask Dohee these questions has lifted my plateu with Korean. Although my brain can feel overwhelmed, I now understand it better, more and more as these lessons that I love and dread come weekly. I feel like I'm getting the gist for foundational Korean which is exciting and I enjoy pushing this brain into learning how to speak Korean. Dohee is fun as well as capable of explaining certain things that may stump you and I love ( and am scared ) how we just jump in.

      Working with Dohee on LearnZone has been an absolutely incredible experience! She is truly an outstanding teacher in every sense. Her professionalism, patience, and positive energy make the process of learning Korean both enjoyable and highly effective. She has a remarkable ability to tailor each lesson to my specific needs and pace, which has contributed immensely to my overall progress and confidence in the language. I feel very fortunate to have her as my tutor, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to master Korean. She is simply the best! 진짜에요 !!!

      Dohee is an amazing teacher who takes good care of you on your path to learning Hangul. She helps me with my pronunciation and is very considerate of the fact I have to repeat things many times to remember them. If you ever run into any trouble during the lesson she is more than willing to help out. I absolutely plan to continue taking lessons with her and I look forward to see what she has in store for me every time. Coming from someone who dislikes learning she keeps me wanting to come back to learn. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher.

    My specialties

    Korean for beginners

    I’ve taught lots of complete beginners, including students who couldn’t read Hangeul at all at first. I’ve developed an easy and simple way to teach Hangeul, so most students start reading confidently after just a few lessons.Because I’ve worked with beginners from many different backgrounds, I know where people usually struggle and how to explain things clearly without making it stressful. I always keep the class friendly, slow, and fun — perfect for anyone starting from zero.If you’re a beginner, don’t worry. I’ll guide you step by step! 💖😄

    Conversational Korean

    I love chatting like a friend, so my classes feel natural and fun. You’ll learn real Korean, including slang and everyday expressions, while practicing speaking confidently. Mistakes are okay — we correct them gently and keep the conversation flowing. 💖😄
