Hello,
Nice to meet you, my name is Hanami.
My expertise are English, Japanese, and Korean. I worked as an English language tutor for 10 years. After that, I started teaching Korean as a foreign language for people from abroad. I have been in Japan for 16 years. I truly enjoy teaching Korean to Japanese students. Meeting various people and thinking together about different questions has made me realize that both the students and the tutor grow together. Let’s study and learn together.
I conduct my lessons in Korean and offer explanations in Korean. You might think that it would be difficult to conduct lessons only in Korean if you are a beginner, but I believe that this is not the case once you actually experience it yourself. The most important thing when learning another language is to listen to it as much as you can. I can also explain in Japanese, so please let me know if you would prefer to have lessons in Japanese.
Why choose me, a native of Seoul, as your Korean language tutor? Check the details below!
1. I can teach standard language (서울 표준어) accurately.
Since I am from Seoul, I can teach the official standard language of South Korea (서울말) with natural pronunciation and intonation. This is perfect for those who want to learn accurate Korean that is not influenced by regional dialects.

I can also teach you expressions that you can’t find in textbooks, such as natural everyday phrases, trendy words, and slang used in daily life by younger generations and native speakers in Seoul.

In Seoul, honorific expressions that are commonly used in business and formal settings are important. I can thoroughly teach proper usage of respectful and humble language, as well as appropriate wording for different situations.
4. Familiar with the culture and trends of Seoul, the center of South Korea
I am familiar with the culture and lifestyle of Seoul, the center of South Korea’s politics, economy, and entertainment. You will also be able to learn about the latest trends and customs. I can also share information unique to Seoul, such as about K-POP, K-dramas, fashion, and café culture.
