Korean lessons: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering korean lessons
You teach Korean, starting with the Hangul alphabet and moving into grammar, politeness levels and conversation. Your listing should show how you teach the alphabet and the learners you help most.
What customers ask
- How long will it take to read Hangul?
- How do I know which politeness level to use with my coworkers?
- Can you help me with a Korean language test?
- I love Korean dramas and want to speak with the actors' lines. Where should I start?
- Do you teach children or teens, and how do you handle a parent who wants to sit in?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask what the student wants Korean for and whether they already read Hangul.
- Offer a short reading check and explain how it sets the pace of the first lessons.
- Show a sample lesson that covers one politeness level with a real example, such as a greeting at work.
- Share a short reading drill so the student sees how you teach letters and sounds.
- Put the lesson count, alphabet timeline, homework and re-check date in the quote.
- Say which Korean you focus on, such as conversation, work or exams, so students with a clear goal can choose you.
What to put on your profile
- Your Korean training, such as a degree, a teaching certificate or time spent living or working in Korea.
- Whether you are a native Korean speaker or a trained second language teacher, and the levels you teach.
- Photos of your teaching space or online set-up, with no student faces unless they agree.
- The learner types you work with, such as travelers, professionals or students preparing for a test.
- Reviews that name the goal and what the student achieved, once they agree to share them.
Follow-up that helps the customer
- After a level check, suggest a short plan with one clear goal and a date to re-check.
- Send a short list of the grammar points and phrases covered in each lesson so the student can practice them.
- Recommend a conversation group or a test prep course when the student's goal fits, and let them choose.
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to teach Korean privately. Keep your degree, certificate or references ready, and check your state and local rules for any business registration you need.
