Structured, comfortable, and fun lessons!
It’s okay to make mistakes! From everyday conversation to certifications, improve your Korean skills with me.
I was born and raised in Korea, and I currently live in Busan, a famous Korean tourist city that is becoming increasingly popular.
Would you like to visit Korea someday? Would you like to speak Korean with Korean friends? Or would you like to fully enjoy K-pop culture in Korean?
I’ll help you. I’ll be your Korean friend. If you want to enjoy learning Korean, let’s get started together!
I have about five years of experience teaching students at an academy. Based on that experience, I’ll help you speak Korean confidently through personalized lessons tailored to your level and learning style.
Rather than stopping at simply “knowing” Korean, I’ll teach you expressions that Koreans actually use often! I can also teach you the local Busan dialect, haha.

STUDENT REVIEWS
Real feedback from students learning Korean with Ellie.
5.0 / 517 student reviews on Preply“I’ve been learning Korean with Songhee for the past three months, and the progress I’ve made since day one has been very noticeable. What I really appreciate about her teaching style is that she goes beyond simply teaching vocabulary and grammar. She focuses on practical, everyday Korean, including natural expressions, sentences, and vocabulary that native Korean speakers actually use in daily conversations. This has helped me communicate more naturally and confidently. She also adapts the study plan based on your individual goals, needs, and learning pace, which makes every lesson feel personalized and effective. I highly recommend Songhee to anyone looking to learn Korean, especially if your goal is to communicate naturally and confidently in real-life situations.”
“I've had a wonderful experience learning with Songhee. She's very kind and patient with me and makes me feel confident in what I'm saying/what she's explained. Moreover her English is exceptional. On another note, Songhee is well prepared with lessons and assists with the material. She's well versed and flexible to change, which I find a comforting characteristic. I 100% recommend her for anyone looking for not just a tutor but a friend as she's so welcoming and reassuring.”
“She is very organized and prepared. She has a page for each of her students and matchers their level with ease. It`s always fun to learn new things and she is very supportive! I`m so lucky I found her and I`m always excited for a new lesson 😊🤍”
“Songhee, is such a brilliant teacher, very encouraging and engaging and is very patient and I am learning faster ☺️”
