★ Hello! "It's okay to make mistakes. Your Korean grows the moment you start speaking." ★
Hi, I'm Mia, a Korean tutor.
I taught Korean to students face-to-face in Korea and Vietnam for 6 years, and I recently moved to Japan.
==============================
■ About Me
==============================
● From office worker to Korean tutor
After graduating from university, I worked in marketing and sales management at a fashion company.
Then I worked at UNIQLO Korea for about 10 years.
● 1:1 teaching experience
After getting married and having children, I started working as a private home tutor.
That's when I discovered the joy of 1:1 lessons, teaching each student at their own pace and in their own way.
● Thailand, Vietnam, and now Japan
After living in Thailand and Vietnam, I recently moved to Japan.
Living in different countries taught me how much courage it takes to speak a foreign language.
Starting a new life in Japan, I'm feeling that again right now.
That's why I value a relaxed atmosphere where you can speak comfortably more than anything else.
● Things I love
Watching Korean dramas, reading books, and traveling.
I'd love to hear about the drama you're watching, the book you're reading, or a place you've traveled to!
※ Completed the Korean Language Instructor Level 1 course (private certification)
※ Certified Art Psychology Counselor and Children's Art Instructor
I aim for lessons that naturally draw out your words using pictures and images, where you can talk with peace of mind.
==============================
■ My Lessons
==============================
● Focused on speaking (output), not memorizing
● Various materials such as pictures, stories, and books
● Practice expressing your own thoughts in Korean
● Many conversation topics: dramas, books, travel, work life, living abroad, and more
● Casual free-talk lessons are also available!
No textbook needed. Let's chat about daily life, your interests, or even your worries, just like talking with a friend.
● After each lesson, I'll send you a summary of corrected expressions and new words. Perfect for review!
※ My English is at a beginner level, so lessons are conducted 100% in Korean.
You'll get used to Korean naturally in a Korean-only environment! I'll help with simple English only when really needed.
"You don't have to be perfect."
I'll be your kind and supportive partner, so you can speak without fear of making mistakes.
==============================
■ Recommended For
==============================
▶ Those who need a chance to actually speak the Korean they've learned
▶ Those who want to speak more naturally, beyond everyday conversation
▶ Those who want to learn the nuances of Korean through books and stories
▶ Those curious about natural expressions used in Korean dramas and daily life
▶ Those who want to keep their Korean speaking skills alive through casual chatting
==============================
I'm still new to life in Japan, so I'm even more excited to hear your stories.
I'll be by your side so that Korean becomes not "study," but "fun."
See you in your first lesson! :)
