How Lessons and Payments Work

A simple public guide for international students: start with a quick evaluation, confirm the right lesson path, then choose a payment option that fits your country.

The Simple Flow

Ashley teaches from Seoul, and many students may be outside Korea. The process should feel clear before money changes hands.

1

Send a Quick Evaluation

Share your current level, main goal, country or time zone, and preferred lesson type. This helps Ashley recommend the right path instead of guessing.

2

Receive a Recommended Path

Ashley can suggest beginner foundation, speaking practice, travel Korean, business Korean, TOPIK support, or a custom plan.

3

Confirm Schedule and Format

Most international lessons can happen online. Students should confirm time zone, lesson length, and whether they need one lesson or a package.

4

Pay After Details Are Confirmed

Payment should happen after Ashley confirms the lesson path and schedule, so students know exactly what they are paying for.

Lesson Options

First Step

Quick Evaluation

Best for new students who want Ashley to check their level and recommend the right starting point.

Flexible

Single Lesson

Useful for pronunciation, travel preparation, interview practice, or one specific Korean problem.

Recommended Start

Starter Pack

A practical first package for beginners or returning learners who want structure over several lessons.

Longer Progress

Progress Plan

Better for speaking confidence, business Korean, TOPIK, living in Korea, or steady weekly learning.

Payment Direction for Global Students

Final payment setup should be confirmed by Ashley before public pricing is posted. These are the practical options that usually work for a Korea-based teacher with international students.

Card Checkout

Best future option for students who want a familiar, professional checkout flow. Good for public lesson packages once pricing is final.

PayPal

Familiar for many international students and useful for early one-to-one payments, especially before a full checkout system is built.

Wise

Useful for international transfers when currency conversion matters. Often helpful for students outside Korea.

Korean Bank Transfer

Useful for students in Korea or anyone who can transfer locally. This should stay separate from international card options.

Recommended public rule

Do not publish final prices until Ashley chooses the payment setup and refund/cancellation terms. Until then, ask students to start with the quick evaluation and receive payment instructions after schedule confirmation.

What Students Should Know Before Paying

Time Zone

Students should mention their country and available lesson times so Ashley can confirm a realistic schedule.

Lesson Goal

Payment should match a clear goal: conversation, travel, business Korean, TOPIK, beginner foundation, or custom support.

Materials

Some public materials are free. Private worksheets, correction notes, and homework can be part of paid lessons later.

Before Public Pricing Goes Live

This keeps the site professional and avoids confusion while AshleyBaek.com is still moving from a brochure site into a learning platform.
