Tutor Comment

It’s truly hard to believe that I—who’ve been teaching on Cafetalk for less than two years—have won the Cafetalk Grand Prize four times in a row. I’m filled with gratitude for my students, who always participate in my lessons with such enthusiasm and joy. I sincerely hope that, together with all of you, we can continue to create more of those joyful moments—the moments of realization and understanding that come with learning Korean—and share the daily joys of living with the Korean language. I look forward to continuing to work with you all!

Learn English and Learn the Tarot

Comment from the intern

I’ve recently become interested in tarot cards and would love to learn how to read them properly. I think it would be really fun to understand the meanings and try doing readings in English as well, so I’m looking for a lesson where I can learn the basics in a friendly and easy way.

I really love Vermeer’s paintings, and I hope to visit a museum in the Netherlands to see them in person someday. To make that dream come true, I would like to study Dutch so I can better understand the language when I visit.

Comment from the accountant

I became interested in this lesson while looking for a safe and supportive way for my daughter, who has been struggling with school attendance, to learn English. I feel reassured knowing that the teacher provides careful instruction starting from junior high school basics and offers a personalized approach. I hope this will help my daughter regain confidence and learn at her own pace.

I had a baby last year. I would love to raise my child bilingually, or even trilingually if possible, so I’ve been looking for a lesson where I can get proper guidance. When I found Susan W’s lesson, I felt it was exactly what I was looking for—I would absolutely love to take it!
