Nice to meet you! Thank you for visiting my profile ♪
I’m Maaya, a Korean language tutor.
I was born and raised in Japan and learned Korean as a second language.
Since my parents are from South Korea, I naturally became interested in the Korean language. Starting with Hangul, I wanted to study Korean more seriously, so I went to study abroad and live in South Korea for five years.
In university I majored in Korean culture and literature, and to this day I enjoy reading Korean books.
In our lessons, I’d be happy to talk not just about studying, but also about Korean culture and book recommendations!
After graduating from university, I worked as a Korean language tutor for a year.
I’ve used my strength of “understanding the feelings of people learning Korean as a second language better than anyone” to provide thoughtful lessons that are considerate and support learners.I’m good at explaining things from a language learner’s perspective, such as
*parts that are easy to stumble over when learning Korean as a foreign language*, as well as questions such as “which expression sounds more natural?” and more♪
