Claire Yang

Hello! I’m Claire, and I am thrilled to help you embark on your journey to mastering the Korean language.
Currently based in London as a postgraduate student specializing in Cultural and Creative Industries, I offer a unique perspective that blends language learning with deep cultural immersion.
My background is quite diverse—I previously studied vocal music (opera), which gave me a professional understanding of phonetics and articulation. This means I can help you achieve a natural, native-like Korean accent and perfect your pronunciation in a way that few other tutors can.

What are my lessons like?

I believe that the most effective way to learn a language is through relevance and engagement. My lessons are highly interactive and entirely customized to your specific needs. Whether you are a total beginner starting with Hangeul (the Korean alphabet) or an advanced student looking to polish your professional Korean, I design a curriculum that works for you.

A typical lesson with me includes:
• Real-world Conversation: We will practice phrases and expressions that are actually used by Koreans today, not just outdated textbook sentences.
• Cultural Context: Learning through K-dramas, movies, and music. Given my background in the arts, I love using creative materials to make learning more enjoyable.
• Goal-Oriented Structure: We will focus on the areas you find most challenging, whether it’s grammar, listening, or writing, with consistent feedback to track your progress.
• Supportive Environment: I am a patient and enthusiastic tutor. I want you to feel comfortable making mistakes, as that is the fastest way to grow.

Why choose my classes?

My goal is to make you feel confident when speaking. I don't just teach grammar rules; I help you understand the 'heart' of the language. Whether you're preparing for a trip to Korea, wanting to understand your favorite K-pop lyrics, or looking to advance your career, I am here to support you every step of the way.

Let’s work together to reach your Korean language milestones. I look forward to meeting you in our first session!
