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!

Everyday Conversational English – Speak Naturally with a UK Teacher (25 min)

I have been taking Anthony’s lessons several times a week since January, and I truly appreciate his patience and support. He is always warm, kind, and attentive, and communication before and after each lesson is very smooth and thoughtful.

He prepares topics and materials based on my interests, including current affairs, cultural differences between East and West, Western philosophy, and religious traditions. His lessons are calm, meaningful, and comfortable. He gives practical suggestions, corrects my mistakes in real time, helps me improve my intonation, and gradually expands my vocabulary. ***yjp | Samstag, 13. Juni 2026, 00:57

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.

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!
