💬 What Students Say
“It was a joy working with Suebeet. She is very organized and methodical in her lessons. This was a great introduction into the Korean language and I’m very pleased with my experience.” – Sarah R.
“I can’t believe it’s been almost 4 years that I’ve been working with Suebeet. It goes to show that time flies when you’re having fun! She’s a great teacher, ensuring that the lessons go smoothly, and never makes you feel dumb or like you asked a stupid or basic question if you are unsure of something (or even just randomly find some related thing that you email her about). I highly recommend her as a tutor for Korean, you won’t be disappointed.” – Jeremy K.
“I recommend Suebeet for Korean language classes. My children have taken her class for some time now, and are in their fourth 6-week session. They enjoy her class and have learned a lot. Her approach is both professional and kid-friendly, making use of a textbook and a digital whiteboard to enhance the effectiveness of the online classes.” – Eugene L.
“My 2 sons have been enrolled in Ms. Suebeet Kim’s weekly children’s class for the past 6 months and are currently in their 3rd class each. They are progressing nicely and really enjoy the lessons, her positive attitude, as well as learning with their peers. As parents, we appreciate that the lessons come with her own textbook and have a curriculum that we can follow. Overall, she is very professional and we are grateful that we were able to connect with her!” – Peter S.
“Just wanted to update my initial review on Suebeet (I can’t believe it’s already been 7 years!). Still going strong with lessons and if it had not been for that I would have stopped studying a long time ago and my language skills would certainly have eroded. Classes are very enjoyable, while being educational. We study a variety of ways, from speaking practice, to studying grammar and vocab through books, to watching dramas and discussing them while writing summaries. I had not watched a single K drama my entire life but since studying together have now watched countless shows. Suebeet is highly professional and friendly, and I always feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how basic. Most importantly she is highly skilled in the language and able to teach very effectively. Many options for learners including solo lessons as well as group lessons all remotely. I cannot highly recommend her enough for anybody looking to learn Korean! Thank you!” – Jonathan P.
“I have taken two classes so far. The material builds on each other. The quizzes throughout the lessons are helpful for practicing my skills. In the terms I am given the materials to practice writing and reading and speaking. The instructor responds to my emails quickly. She’s approachable for questions and is always helpful and doesn’t mind explaining concepts over again.” – Rose N.
“We want to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible care, dedication, and passion you have shown in teaching our son the Korean language. It has been truly heartwarming to witness his growth, not just in vocabulary and grammar, but in confidence and cultural understanding—all thanks to your guidance. Your patience and encouragement have made a lasting impact on him. Every lesson with you was not just about learning a language, but about building a bridge to a beautiful culture—and you made that journey joyful and meaningful. Thank you for believing and for nurturing his curiosity. We will always be grateful for the gift of your teaching. With sincere appreciation, Rajesh” – Rajesh G.
“First time signing up to her Korean Course. I ended up loving her online class. She takes her time in explaining the lesson and then has us practice the pronunciation. Having a quiz for every lesson is perfect. Her class is so interactive that time flies by so fast. Can’t wait to take her next course! ” – Alice C.
