Hangul & Beginner Basics
For students who cannot read yet or want a clean foundation before speaking.
Popular Student Goals
Most visitors arrive with one clear reason to learn Korean. Ashley's first job is to identify that reason, then match the student to the right lesson path.
Conversation Korean
For learners who know some Korean but freeze when they need to speak.
Travel Korean
Airport, hotel, cafe, shopping, directions, emergencies, and polite requests.
Business Korean
Introductions, meetings, interviews, emails, workplace tone, and professional wording.
TOPIK Preparation
Vocabulary, reading strategy, listening practice, writing structure, and study planning.
Study Abroad & Relocation
Daily survival Korean, school life, banking, housing, appointments, and local etiquette.
K-Drama, K-Pop & Media
Learn useful expressions from culture without losing grammar accuracy or real usage.
Family & Heritage Korean
For learners reconnecting with Korean family, identity, or personal background.
Three Core Paths
Beginner Foundation
Hangul, pronunciation, sentence blocks, greetings, basic particles, numbers, time, and simple daily conversation.
Practical Speaking
Guided speaking practice for real situations, with correction, role play, natural phrasing, and homework review.
Goal-Based Korean
Travel Korean, business Korean, TOPIK preparation, culture-based Korean, or a custom path built from the student's needs.
How Ashley Chooses Your Path
If You Are New
Start with Hangul, pronunciation, and basic sentence confidence. The goal is not memorizing everything; it is building a strong base and avoiding bad habits early.
If You Already Studied
Start with a speaking and listening check. Ashley can identify gaps, clean up grammar patterns, and create practice that matches your actual level.
If You Need Korean Soon
Use a situation-first path: travel, work, interview, school, or living in Korea. Lessons focus on the phrases and patterns you will actually use.
If You Need a Score
Use a TOPIK-focused plan with vocabulary review, reading speed, listening habits, and weekly accountability.

What Happens in a Lesson
Before Class
Ashley reviews your level, goal, and any homework or questions. New students can start with a quick evaluation.
During Class
You practice targeted Korean, receive correction, repeat improved sentences, and learn how the pattern works.
After Class
You receive a clear next step: review material, homework, speaking drill, vocabulary list, or next lesson focus.
Progress Check
Every few lessons, Ashley can review what improved and adjust the plan so lessons stay useful.
