    About me

    Hi! I’m Youngsang, a native Korean tutor who has lived in Indonesia for over 10 years.

    I’ve been teaching Korean on this platform for more than 3 years, and I truly enjoy helping students learn Korean in a clear, natural, and enjoyable way.


    I love language exchange, traveling, and introducing learners to real Korean culture—from everyday expressions to how Korean is actually used in daily life.

    Because I’ve lived abroad for a long time, I’m very comfortable working with students from different backgrounds and helping them feel relaxed and confident from the very beginning.


    I have 10 years of experience in international education consulting and over 2 years of experience teaching Korean online.

    This background allows me to design lessons that are structured, effective, and personalized to each student’s goals and learning style.


    My classes are systematic and well-organized.

    I use Google Docs as our main learning tool and refer to well-established and proven Korean textbooks to ensure balanced learning.


    In my lessons, students develop all core language skills evenly:

    🔸 Vocabulary

    🔸 Grammar

    🔸 Reading

    🔸 Writing

    🔸 Speaking

    🔸 Listening


    For complete beginners, I start with Hangul and pronunciation, then guide students step by step from basic to advanced levels with a clear learning path.


    For intermediate and advanced learners, I offer speaking-focused classes to help students express themselves more naturally and confidently.

    I also provide practical Korean lessons for travel, designed for students preparing to visit Korea and communicate comfortably in real situations.


    My teaching includes:

    🔸 Beginner to advanced Korean

    🔸 Hangul reading and writing

    🔸 Pronunciation correction

    🔸 Speaking-focused conversation practice

    🔸 Travel and culture-based Korean

    🔸 Structured lesson plans tailored to each student


    If you’re looking for structured, practical, and personalized Korean lessons, I’d be happy to help you.

    I focus on explanations that are clear and easy to understand, and expressions that you can use immediately in real life.


    Whether you are starting from zero, improving your speaking skills, or preparing for a trip to Korea, you’ll learn Korean in a way that feels logical, achievable, and motivating.


    Let’s build your Korean step by step—with confidence and consistency.

      I just needed a quick intro to the language with a few key phrases for travel and he was so helpful! Gave me tips, good phrases to use, and was very patient with my pronunciation. Highly recommend!

      Learning with Youngsang is very comfortoble. I feel supported to explore the Korean language in a structured and fun way. He is great at pacing my learning, by challenging me, but also providing extra explanation or slowing down when I have to. I really enjoy the lessons!

      Lessons with Youngsang are great. Each session is well structured, focusing on a new grammar topic supported by clear examples. What I appreciate most is the practice during the lesson, which really helps the concepts to stick and to practice my speaking and reading in general. I recommend taking classes with Youngsang.

      Youngsang is always very patient and well prepared. He explains everything clearly and adapts his teaching to my needs. He is very supportive and encouraging, which creates a great, safe, and comfortable learning environment. This means a lot to me, as feeling comfortable with someone new usually takes much longer due to my social anxiety than it did with him. I can speak openly when I haven’t quite understood something, and he never makes me feel bad about it. Because of this, I feel much more confident and motivated, and it has had a genuinely positive impact on my progress.
