About Me
italki teacher since May 8, 2020
Hello. My name is Iva, I’m from Korea, and I love teaching! I’m a certified Korean teacher with a master’s degree in teaching Korean as a foreign language. I have taught Korean in Vietnam to those who want to enter a Korean university. I currently live in Jakarta, Indonesia.
I’m a language learner(I have learned Russian and Vietnamese in addition to English) as well as a teacher. I understand the difficulties of learning a foreign language. It is not easy, but it’s certainly worth it. I assure you it will be much easier and more fun to learn Korean with me. I’m friendly and open-minded with extensive experience abroad. You won’t be bored while studying with me! Hope to see you in my class.
I'm a caring, devoted and patient teacher. I interact closely with students, make meaningful connections and keep them motivated and engaging. I deliver accurate knowledge with a well-structured curriculum, make the learning process enjoyable and help students achieve their goals.
The biggest advantage of my class is that I personalize my lessons and adjust the course as much as possible to suit students' own needs and interests. I try to make my lessons engaging as much as possible!
At the same time, I can offer standardized classes such as:
- General Korean course; textbook-based
- Grammar class
- Pronunciation class
- Business Korean class
- Academic Korean class
- TOPIK preparation class
- Conversation class; topic to be chosen upon your request

The grammar classes (as are her others as well) are extremely well prepared, detailed, and organized. You may think “I don’t plan on writing a book in Korean so what’s the point of learning this?” The point is, you’re learning to properly understand the language including how to speak and write which will set you apart from others. You will sound educated and be more confident because you speak the language properly. Also, for anyone that is curious about her English speaking abilities- she speaks English very well. She understands English grammar so she communicates very easily with you and explains and compares what we know, why we use it, and how it’s the same, similar, or completely different in regards to Korean grammar. She’s also patient and kind. I struggle to remember what we just went over two seconds before, in the same class, and she reminds me to relax, breathe, and not be nervous.

Had a lovely first lesson with Iva. Reviewing and refining the alphabet which I have learnt independently. It makes such a difference to have a one to one session with a tutor to perfect pronunciation and feel supported and encouraged which helps with confidence. Iva was very prepared and very professional. Looking forward to my next lesson.

If you want a strong foundation in grammar, take Iva's lessons. She gives a thorough explanation and then practice exercises to make sure you understood the concepts and can use them correctly. Thank you, as always!
