My teacher 현주 really actively helped to find all kinds of materials suitable for my level and designed the classes well for my understanding for 6 months. Though I don't always feel to have made large progress after each class, I am clearly aware of the accumulated improvement when I restarted real interactions with Koreans recently. That is why I choose to apply for another trial. I want a new teacher simply because I want to know more people.

I really like studying offline and studying on Sunday. Learning by zoom was hard for me. The teachers instruction was very good and the content is fine but I would prefer an intermediate level speaking class in the fall if you open one. I don't really plan/need to take the Topik test. But that was new content for me so it was interesting and useful I think.

I thought the class was very good. The teacher was excellent. She made us speak a lot and kept the class lively. I thought she was very sincere and tried hard. I think the classmates are good too. I wish we could study the grammar part a little more slowly. That was really hard for me. The warming up section was useful for me. The listening part was good for me too.

Thank you so much for providing such a good quality class. This is just the best! And thank you very much to my teacher Hee Joon, she is amazing!!!!

My teacher, Ji-hoon, was very dedicated in sourcing materials suited to my level and structured the classes in a way that made learning accessible. I may not feel massive progress after each lesson, but I’ve definitely noticed a significant improvement in my ability to communicate with Koreans lately. This motivates me to apply for another trial. I’m interested in a new teacher because I want to expand my network and meet new people.

I appreciate how my teacher, JH, sourced materials that were just right for my level. The classes are accessible and engaging, making it less intimidating to practice Korean. I’ve noticed a real improvement in my communication skills, which encourages me to sign up for another trial and connect with more people. :)

What stands out about JOINUS KOREA is how dedicated the teachers are to each student’s growth. My instructor, Eun-ji, structured the classes to be both fun and effective. I may not notice huge leaps every week, but my overall ability has definitely improved. I’m motivated to try lessons with other teachers and meet new friends.

The personalized approach at JOINUS KOREA made a big difference for me. My teacher, Hyun-woo, was attentive and always prepared lessons that suited my learning style. Although progress wasn’t instant, I can now interact with Koreans more naturally. I look forward to meeting new teachers and expanding my network.

The curriculum at JOINUS KOREA is well-structured and adapts to each student’s needs. My instructor, Soo-jin, provided plenty of useful resources and practical exercises. While progress felt slow at times, I can now handle daily conversations much more easily. I’m eager to meet new teachers and continue improving.

Teacher 윤지우 patiently explained even the subtle nuances of pronunciation, which was incredibly helpful. Thanks to her, I was able to better understand parts that used to confuse me and gained much more confidence. 
I truly appreciate her attentive and thoughtful teaching.

It was great, I am now extending for the 3rd time. But this time I would like to not use a textbook and instead just have a conversation with my tutor so I can practice speaking.

The 1:1 Korean Class was really nice. Teacher 민주's class was really well-organized and fun. We not only talked about daily lives abut also read novels, watched movies , learned through textbooks and hung out to visit the city. It was so much fun. 
I hope JOINUS can have more culture exchanging programs like gathering some 1:1 pairs together. I'll definitely join.

Due to the teacher's kind words and very brilliant teaching methods, I am willing to continue this program. I think that the teachers were always very encouraging and explained all of the concepts. They equipped us with tools that would help us with our test taking in the future. And as each class goes on, I feel more and more prepared to take the TOPIK test. 

2026/07/02 11:41

It was great, I wish Minoh could continue as my teacher but I am looking forward to meeting a new teacher as well!

I liked our class a lot. I am in 2A now and I would like to stay in this level 1 more time if possible.
The program is very good. The teachers are kind and helpful and we study hard for the 2 hours. The book is good but it sometimes feels like we are studying it too quickly. But since it's once a week and we have to finish in 5 months, I understand. The teachers made a lot of effort to check our homework writing and to correct our mistakes in class. They were friendly and seemed to really enjoy teaching. The homework was hard but I think it was useful and I improved a lot because of it. The book that we use is good. There are 4 basic skills taught and the topics in the book were practical. I used what we learned a lot. 
My classmates were very good. If we studied face to face, it would be better but zoom is ok since there's no choice these days. I will recommend this program to other foreigners in Korea for sure. It was excellent!

The programme is really great and Haeun Teacher,  Yoorim Teacher and previously Nayoon Teacher are always so helpful and encouraging.

I had a wonderful experience in this Korean class. My teacher was amazing, patient, encouraging, and always made lessons enjoyable and easy to follow. I learned a lot and looked forward to every class. Thank you for creating such a positive and supportive learning environment!

Sarah

I really enjoyed the Zoom classes. The textbook was practical, but sometimes the pace felt a bit fast for a once-a-week class. For the next session, I'd like to do 1 hour of textbook study and 1 hour of free talking to practice speaking.
