Native English Speaker looking to tutor Koreans in English online

Korea

Hello, I am a native English speaker from the United States. I am a male in my 30s and I have over 15 years of experience of speaking to Korean people to teach and help them feel comfortable using English. I am teach privately online for anyone that would like to learn of any age or skill level. I am not part of a big company or any type of company. I work for myself to support myself and my mother in our home. Being my own boss can be difficult and scary sometimes but it does allow me the freedom to have my schedule available at any time it would be convenient for you to have class time with me any time or day of the week. I have lived in Korea for a year and can speak, write and read in Korean. I am also fluent in Spanish. I offer 30 minute for $8, 1 hour classes for $16 or for however long you would like how ever many times a week you would like. We can meet via Teams, Kakao, Zoom. I do use kakaotalk. Payments would be made with Paypal. This is a review message in Korea from a current student's father about my class. 화상 영어 - 합리적인 가격의 원어민 회화 수업입니다. 강사: 30대 남자 미국인, 한국에서 1년 교환학생으로 거주, 간단한 한국어 사용가능, 현재는 미국 거주 수업방식: Teams로 30분 단위 진행 가격: 30분당 8달러 카카오톡 ID : novatojudoka 먼저 제 소개를 하면 저는 외국계 회사를 다니고 있으며 영어에 매우 관심이 많은 아빠입니다. 꽤 오래 수업을 계속하면서 현재는 선생님과 친해서 요청으로 소개합니다. 아이들은 영미권 원어민에게 영어를 배우는 것이 좋습니다. 언어는 문화이기 때문에 출신 지역에 따라서 다른 성향을 가지고 있기 때문입니다. 아이들이 글로벌 수준의 언어, 문화, 마인드를 배워야 한다는 것을 생각해보시면 좋겠습니다. 현재는 저희 8살 딸이 반년 째 일주일에 30분씩 2번 수업을 받고 있습니다. 저희 아이는 애니메이션을 일주일에 2편씩 미리보고, 수업에서는 아이와 자유롭게 프리 토킹 하는 형태로 수업을 진행하고 있습니다. 저는 아이가 영어 회화 수업을 것 통해서 외국인과의 자연스러운 만남을 경험하고 영어 사용을 쑥쓰러워 하지 않게 하는 것에 목적을 두고 있습니다. 제 지인의 경우 초등 고학년으로 책으로 수업을 하고 있습니다. 이와 같이 아이의 성향 또는 상황에 맞춘 수업을 구성 하실 수 있습니다. 영어에 관심있는 성인 분들도 추천합니다. #원어민 #미국 #영어회화 #영미권 #수업 #영어 #영어수업 혹시 직접 원어민과 처음 소통하는 것에 부담을 느끼시면 제가 도와 드릴수도 있으니 편히 연락 주시길 바랍니다. 감사합니다 I hope this reaches anyone that it will to practice and learn English without and worry or hesitation. I hope to hear from you soon. I also offer a free trial class so we can speak and see you feel during the practice class. Please contact me on kakaotalk. My ID is novatojudoka.

Seoul Foreign Resident Center

서울 > 영등포

서울외국인주민센터 is listed in Korea4Home Places as a foreigner support and community service option for people who want practical, map-ready information in Korea. The listing is anchored around 서울특별시 영등포구, with the current address recorded as 서울특별시 영등포구 도신로 40 서울외국인주민센터. This makes it useful when someone is searching by neighborhood rather than by an exact business name. For foreign residents, this type of place is useful because it can act as a starting point for local information, community programs, resident support, and official guidance. The main audience is Expats, foreign residents, international students, and families who need official help in Korea. The current amenity signals include Official support information candidate, Foreigner-friendly, Easy to search by English keywords, Map-ready address. These are guide signals, so they should be treated as searchable tags and checked against the latest official source. Language notes currently show Korean, English-friendly candidate. Visitors should still confirm whether English or another language is available before relying on it for detailed questions. A direct phone number is not fully confirmed in this record yet, so website, social, or map links should be used first when available. Useful source links currently include Instagram (instagram.com). These links are kept because they can help users verify photos, menus, programs, announcements, and recent updates. Nearby or area signals include 서울특별시 영등포구. This helps Korea4Home connect the place to neighborhood browsing and trip planning pages later. Before visiting, Check the official website or social channel before visiting because program availability can change. Suggested search keywords for this listing are: 서울외국인주민센터, foreigner support and community service, 서울 외국인주민센터, 서울특별시 영등포구, 서울특별시 영등포구 도신로, expat Korea, foreigner friendly Korea, foreigner support Seoul, global village center. These keywords help the site search work even when a user does not know the exact Korean business name. Korea4Home should treat this page as a helpful guide entry rather than a final official profile until the owner or an editor confirms details such as opening hours, photos, and service scope. Additional source check: the Seoul Global Center portal and the saved Seoul Foreign Residents Center Instagram link should be used together to confirm current programs, notices, and visiting information.
