"I've really enjoyed learning Korean with Joon. He has not only taught me the Korean language but also taught me to love the Korean culture. As a complete beginner, I was able to learn Hangeul very quickly and also understand why knowing more about Korean culture is so intrinsic to learning the language itself. Joon introduced me to Korean dramas which has helped me further develop my understanding of Korean relationships; I can tell how close characters are by their use of formal and semi-polite language etc. Because I like dramas Joon incorporates them into our lessons and we discuss grammar, slang words and dialect used. I have found this a great accompaniment to the textbooks and activities Joon uses for our lessons. Joon is a very patient teacher and pushes you to develop your speaking and writing skills without the potential stress you could feel about making mistakes. His lessons strike a good balance between theory and practise. He also takes the time to text and talk to you in Korean outside lesson time for extra practise. Shortly after starting with Joon I was able to travel to Korea and communicate the basics with retailers, waiters and taxi drivers in Korean. Joon took the time to personally help me plan my itinerary so I got the most out of my trip. I can't wait to return so I can practise what I've learnt since my first trip!"
