About me
Translated
🌟 Welcome to "Doopyo Teacher's Korean Class," where laughter and learning are abundant!
📌 Experience · Strengths
✔ 6 years of experience in Korean language education
✔ Holder of a Level 1 teaching certification
✔ Extensive experience teaching learners from children to adults
✔ Currently conducting face-to-face classes in Japan
I believe that the greatest growth happens in an environment where teachers and learners support each other's passions and learn systematically together. I want to create moments in class that make studying not just about learning Korean, but also about enjoying the experience of learning itself.
My goal is to help you master the "skeleton of sentences" so you can express what you want to say right away.✌️
📚 Educational Background
I majored in elementary education at university, where I systematically learned about effective teaching methods, learning psychology, and essential elements in language education. I have delved deeply into not just the "skills of teaching well," but also into creating a structure that encourages learners to continue their own studies.
🏫 Classroom Experience
While working as a teacher, I have practiced designing lessons that consider the personality, interests, strengths, and weaknesses of learners, maintaining motivation, and increasing learning retention. I prioritize lessons that build knowledge step by step, rather than just being "fun classes."
📝 Korean Language Teaching Experience
I have worked at a Korean school for adults in Japan, providing comprehensive guidance on pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing, and conversational expressions, along with feedback. I can teach everyone from complete beginners learning Hangul for the first time to learners at intermediate and advanced levels who want to expand their expressive capabilities.
🌍 Strong Reasons for Teaching Native Japanese Speakers
Through my experience working at an international school, I know exactly the challenges that Japanese speakers face.
・Final consonant pronunciation
・Usage of particles
・Differences in word order
・Unnatural expressions due to direct translation
I clearly explain these "tricky points" and guide learners to understand quickly and smoothly by utilizing contrasts with Japanese.
✨ Features of My Lessons
My lessons are not just about talking for the sake of filling time; they are designed to cultivate expressiveness that can be replicated and the ability to continue learning independently. I cherish the experience of "gaining one more thing you can do" in every class and aim for long-lasting learning.
I genuinely love teaching Korean, and I always prioritize a bright and positive atmosphere in my classes. I believe that when learning happens in a joyful environment, people grow the most.
Based on my experience in both online and offline classes, I flexibly guide each learner according to their goals, personality, and pace of learning. I want to create an experience where we can definitely improve skills in a way that suits each individual, rather than just going through the motions of a class.
I am also currently studying Japanese with the goal of entering graduate school in Japan. I understand the difficulties of learning a foreign language, the frustration of not being able to express oneself well, and the joy of seeing improvement. That’s why I want to sincerely support and walk alongside you as a fellow "learner."
In class, I value a method of learning that involves speaking a lot, trying many things, and sometimes making mistakes, rather than just a one-sided lecture to fill time. I design my classes around how much learners can speak, not how much I speak.
Let’s build experiences of growth that are visible and tangible together. I want to create that moment when your Korean flows out naturally!

Doopyo taught me Korean phrases that I can use in everyday situations, tailored to my needs. Whenever I had questions, he kindly explained things to me, which was very helpful.

I am very grateful that Doopyo-sensei tailors the lessons to my level, as I cannot speak Korean at all. Since the teacher is fluent in Japanese, he explains the pronunciation clearly and carefully by substituting it with Japanese. When I do well, he rejoices as if it were his own achievement, which greatly boosts my motivation. I look forward to continuing with you!

Doopyo is a very good teacher! He explains things clearly and patiently. He repeats the difficult pronunciation parts many times. When I don't understand something, he stops and explains it little by little.
