Are you looking to learn Korean for business or executive purposes? I offer bespoke, one-to-one lessons designed to help professionals master not only the language itself but also the cultural intelligence needed to succeed in Korean business environments. Language and culture are inseparable — and understanding both is key to building authentic, long-term partnerships in Korea.

With over 20 years of experience as an international business development manager, I’ve worked extensively across Asia and Europe, bridging cultural and commercial differences between global teams. I’ve seen first-hand how subtle communication styles, hierarchy, and etiquette influence business outcomes. In Korea, the unspoken context often carries as much meaning as the words themselves. My lessons are built on this understanding — practical, insightful, and relevant to how business is truly done.

Each session is conversational in style, focusing on real business scenarios such as meetings, negotiations, and professional networking. You’ll learn not just useful vocabulary, but also how to adapt your tone, timing, and approach to align with Korean expectations. We’ll explore the cultural mindset that underpins communication, helping you speak with confidence and credibility.

If you prefer a more structured programme, I can tailor a course around your goals, industry, and proficiency level, using carefully selected materials and authentic examples. Whether you’re preparing for a corporate role, managing Korean clients, or simply expanding your global skill set, I’ll help you gain both linguistic fluency and cultural fluency.

Ultimately, my aim is to help you communicate naturally, effectively, and with confidence in any professional Korean context. Let’s begin your journey toward truly global business communication.
