About me
Translated
Hello! I'm Janie, living in West Palm Beach, Florida. I speak four languages fluently (Korean, English, French, and Spanish) and have been helping many students learn Korean with my excellent language skills and knowledge. In my free time, I enjoy peaceful morning walks on the beach and painting.
As a member of the American Translators Association (ATA), I have 13 years of experience in interpreting and teaching. I work with a diverse range of individuals worldwide, including those from the LPGA, public institutions, private companies, and military organizations, focusing on helping each person master Korean from the basics to advanced levels, with an emphasis on detail. I utilize flashcards, signs, and newspapers to enhance visual and auditory memory, striving to improve Korean language IQ. Additionally, since language reflects a country's culture, I aim to help you understand Korea culturally as well.
I’m excited to embark on this journey of learning Korean with you and help you unlock your full potential. Let's study together!

I absolutely love learning with Janie‑ssi. She creates such a warm, comfortable atmosphere that makes studying Korean feel natural and enjoyable. She explains things clearly, is incredibly patient, and always knows how to adjust the lesson to what I need that day. Our relationship feels balanced — respectful like a teacher and student, but also friendly and supportive in a way that makes me look forward to every class. I’ve grown so much in confidence thanks to her. Truly an amazing 선생님.Grace

두 번의 수업 후에 이미 한국어 실력이 크게 향상되었다. 재이니 선생님을 나에게 새로운 어휘와 문법을 많이 가르쳐 주었다. 나는 재이니 선생님을 강력히 추천해! After just 2 classes, my Korean has already improved greatly. Janie has taught me lots of new vocabulary and grammar. I highly recommend Janie!Geneviève

Janie teaches my 12-year-old daughter. She perfectly adapts her teaching to her level. My daughter loves her classes and is very motivated. In addition to learning the alphabet and other basic concepts, Janie and my daughter exchange ideas about their respective cultures, much to my daughter's delight.Jazmyne

My specialties
Korean for beginners
Most of my students are beginners who are enthusiast about Korean culture, music, and drama. Or future travelers to Korea. I focus on Korean Alphabet using to start for small talk. Well, small talk can grow to big talk step by step, one at a time practice. I use movie clip, voice over, role play for fictional situation. So, you can see, speak and read pretty soon in Korean.
Conversational Korean
For your expectations and learning goal when it comes to conversational Korean, I believe you already have lots of subjects to talk about it in your mind. I'll help you to speak the most proper, appropriate and practical Korean as possible.
Korean for Children
I use lots of flash cards, animation, role play with Children who wants to learn Korean. It's kindergarten but we speak in Korean. Make them focus on the lesson and keep what they learn today to store in them is important.
Intensive Korean
Intensive Korean learning is like the Korean lesson in the classroom, but you pretend like you almost live in South Korea. Daily activities, social interaction, working, everything you could describe in Korean or act like Korean. I use daily activities from Monday through Sunday to describe in Korean and correct into right direction.
Business Korean
This is one of my favorite lessons to give. All individual is already somebody in their business field and they have reason to master Korean. Also, i can learn from them about their business background at the same time. i prefer use lots of daily newspapers and play daily news clips and bring out subject that you work on. Intensive conversation until less mistake you make. so, you can be successful in your business field.
Korean Literature
I love reading! As a teacher in French language and literature majored, and born in South Korea, I am able to cover from light literature to intensive ones! We can pick topic or books together.
TOPIK
I've been helping students to admit Korean colleges or universities, and it has been very successful. To prevent being broken Korean speaker, it's important to learn Korean who understands your primary language.TOPIK I (Material covered)TOPIK II (Material covered)
