    About me

    ✨ About Me as a Tutor


    🎧 MBC Radio / UBC Radio & TBN Radio Guest Appearances / Performances at Local Festivals & Concert Halls

    → I’ve participated in podcast-style segments, engaging in live conversations and performances — naturally building my communication and delivery skills.


    📚 Assistant Presenter for a Government Humanities Program (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism)

    → I joined the stage as a singer and impromptu MC, guiding the atmosphere of official events. Through this, I gained valuable skills in formal expressions and spontaneous speaking in structured environments.


    🗣️ Clear & Natural Korean Expression

    → My background in tutoring and live performance allows me to help students speak more fluently and confidently in real-world situations.


    🎙 Deep Understanding of Sound and Voice

    → Thanks to years of vocal training and studio recording, I can guide you in mastering pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm — helping you both hear and produce native-like Korean.



    🎓 Teaching Experience & Lesson Structure


    Before joining LearnZone, I taught music to students of various ages in both academies and private 1:1 settings.

    Since then, I’ve conducted over 3,000 Korean lessons on LearnZone, which allowed me to develop a highly personalized system focused on pronunciation and learner-specific structure.


    All lessons are based on Google Docs materials that I’ve personally created.

    They’re organized by level from basic Hangul consonants and vowels to advanced real-life conversation patterns.

    Lessons are always tailored to help you sound natural like a native speaker, with a strong emphasis on pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm.


    Another strength is how flexible my classes are always adjusted based on your interests and learning goals.

      Jake is very patient and accomodating, trying to find the interests and needs of a specific student. I really like how he always tries to make my Korean sound more natural in choice of words and grammar structures, thus teaching also about Korean culture via language. Since Jake is a musician and has one of the clearest and most beautiful sounding Seoul korean accent, he is also great with correcting pronounciation and language intonation.

      Jake is very good at picking on places that i need more focus on and teaches well through simple conversions in Korean as well as careful disection of sentences in order to understand the exact elements and structure of them. After only three classes, I already understand more about Korean grammer than I did studying on my own for six months. Highly recommend.
