About Jieun
Hello! I’m Jieun—a certified Korean language teacher (Level 2), former Air Force interpreting officer, and now a student at Berklee College of Music, where I began my musical journey later in life. Learning a new language is like discovering a new world—not just around you, but inside you. Let’s unlock that together. As someone who became fluent in English without ever studying abroad, I understand how to turn limited vocabulary into real communication. The problem isn’t vocabulary—it’s utility. While a lot of language learners believe they lack vocabulary, even a 3-year-old can express themselves freely because they know how to use what they have. And that’s our first goal: to speak—right now. And because we’re adults, we’ll take it even further. With a bit of writing support and the right cultural context, your learning can accelerate in ways you didn’t expect. I’m also a passionate language learner myself. I taught myself both Japanese and Chinese without ever leaving Korea. That’s why my classes go beyond grammar and vocabulary—they’re about mindset, rhythm, and cultural fluency. You’ll understand not just what Koreans say, but why they say it—and where those differences come from. These are all insights from my years of self-taught language learning. But above all—I understand your passion. I’ve met people who’ve reshaped their lives to follow what they love. I’m one of them. It took me over a decade to allow myself to pursue music. I used to work until 10 p.m., then sneak into a tiny studio I could only afford after midnight (it was cheaper), just to practice the violin. Now I’m studying music on scholarship at Berklee, close to 30, and still chasing what I love. I feel you. I know how hard it is to carve out extra time from your busy daily routine just to learn a new language. And I'm here to support you. I’ll be your booster, your coach, your biggest supporter. My classes are structured, personal, and full of energy—because language should lift you up, not weigh you down. Whatever you’re looking for in Korean, you’ll find it here—and more than you thought you needed. Born and raised in Seoul, I don’t just teach Korean—I share the soul of it. Let’s bring Korean into your life, one real conversation at a time.

I had the opportunity to study Korean with Jieun and was consistently impressed by her professionalism, clarity, and supportive teaching style. She explains concepts with patience and precision, adapting to her student’s level and learning pace. Her lessons were well-structured and engaging, which made even complex topics approachable. I would confidently recommend Jieun as a Korean tutor to anyone seeking a dedicated and effective instructor.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Jieun both as a colleague and as a passionate educator. She brings a rare combination of deep knowledge, emotional intelligence, and creative teaching methods to every lesson. Jieun is not just informative—she’s transformative. Whether she’s teaching language, music, or cultural content, she has a unique ability to connect with students in a way that makes them feel seen, understood, and empowered.
What stands out most is her thoughtfulness: she tailors her sessions to each learner’s needs and never takes a one-size-fits-all approach. She’s highly reliable, communicative, and warm, and I’ve seen firsthand how students grow rapidly under her guidance. She’s the kind of teacher who doesn’t just pass on knowledge but helps others grow into their own potential.View more recommendations
