Native Korean instructor and former Johns Hopkins University adjunct faculty member with 15+ years of experience helping students speak Korean confidently through personalized lessons and cultural ins

I started one-on-one Korean tutoring with Hannah six years ago, and thanks to her guidance, I've reached an intermediate to high-intermediate level. Over the years, we've also become close friends.

From the very beginning, Hannah made me feel comfortable, and we got along really well. She teaches at your own pace and never makes you feel like you're not progressing quickly enough. Instead, she's always encouraging and reassuring, which has helped me stay motivated and confident in my learning.

Hannah genuinely cares about her students and their success. She's also very flexible and accommodating when it comes to scheduling, which makes lessons easy to fit into a busy life.

I've been a student for quite some time and I absolutely love our lessons!

She provides a fun, engaging curriculum with informative feedback as well as mini lessons on Korean history and culture. Especially when it comes to rules "only native speakers" would know that are pitfalls for new learners. She's supportive and easy to work with as well as being incredibly patient when I was a beginner.

Schedule with Hannah and you'll have a great time!

Hannah has been my Korean teacher for over a decade, and I feel so lucky to have learned from her. She is patient, loyal, and truly committed to helping her students improve. She will correct you when you need it, and she does it well! (With care and encouragement, of course.) I’m so grateful to know her, both as a teacher and as someone I’ve shared so many fun memories with, from class to KBBQ. Anyone would be lucky to learn Korean with Hannah!

Hannah has been my Korean tutor for the past year and a half — her enthusiasm, encouragement, and flexibility has made it a joy to continue my studies during this time. Thanks to her, I have noticed a significant change in my fluency and confidence to speak the language more and more in my daily life. And even beyond the language itself, Hannah incorporates cultural context and nuances that are so useful when communicating. I also appreciate her willingness to adapt our lessons depending on personal interest or preferences, making the learning experience tailored to the individual student. Happy to recommend Hannah to anyone seeking to learn Korean!

I have known Hannah for several years as a Korean language instructor. She is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about her students’ success! Hannah creates well-organized lessons that are tailored to each student’s level and learning goals. She explains difficult concepts clearly and makes learning Korean enjoyable and approachable. Her dedication, professionalism, and encouragement help students gain confidence and make steady progress. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive Korean teacher.

I took Beginner lessons with Hannah and we became friends because of her warm personality. She is very enthusiastic about teaching and works to make classes engaging. She goes beyond the textbook by preparing her own teaching materials to introduce or reinforce new concepts in practical and relatable ways. You won't find a better Korean teacher and won't be disappointed if you are her student!

Hannah is an incredible Korean teacher whom I first met when she was teaching at the Korean Embassy in DC. I found her teaching style to be extremely effective in that group classroom setting, so much so that I sought out private tutoring with her when I moved out of state. My primary goal was always to speak with my grandmother, but I struggled for years to make functional progress. Hannah completely transformed this dynamic by tailoring our lessons to practical, generational communication. Thanks to her patient guidance and unwavering encouragement, I finally started speaking to my grandmother in Korean, allowing us to connect directly on a much deeper level. She is a deeply compassionate mentor who truly cares about her students' success.
