Learn Korean from a media professional!

Hi, I'm Michaela!
I studied filmmaking at Korea National University of Arts, where I produced several short films as well as a stage musical. I also studied theatre arts and completed a work placement as a design assistant in West End theatre productions through the International Year Abroad Programme at Middlesex University, London. More recently, I've earned two master's degrees in Global Media and Communications from the London School of Economics and Political Science and Fudan University in Shanghai.

I have a few years' experience of teaching English to Koreans and Korean to non-Korean speakers. Specifically, I taught conversational English at a cultural centre for a year and tutored students in both English and Korean for a couple of years. I also teach my English-speaking friends Korean grammar and expressions all the time because I just love it!

I was born and bred in Seoul and therefore speak in the standard Korean accent. I speak fluent English and a bit of Japanese and Chinese as well. I like using media content such as films, TV shows, Youtube videos and news/magazine articles as teaching materials. If you want to improve your Korean whilst keeping abreast of the current trends in media, don't hesitate to opt for a trial lesson!
