How do I choose a quality tutor?

Tutors with teaching experience

Experienced tutors are often quicker to identify problems their students are having in learning. Such tutors are also more likely to have worked with students with different backgrounds and personalities. However, it may still be worthwhile to try out tutors with less experience, especially if something about their background or experience catches your eye.

Tutors with certifications

Other than teaching experience, you can also choose tutors who are certified instructors. Aside from indicating proficiency in the language that the tutor teaches, such certifications are a sign that the tutor understands how to help students to maximize their learning.

Can lessons be customized for students?

Before students take their first lesson, we encourage them to discuss their learning needs and goals with their tutors. This helps give you a feel for what to expect, and is also a great opportunity for you to see if a tutor is suitable for you.

However, if you do not currently have a solid base in spelling and/or vocabulary, we recommend you choose a bilingual tutor who speaks your target language and your native language, as you will likely have a better learning experience during your one-on-one private tutoring.

If you have a good range of vocabulary but lack the opportunity to practice, then we recommend you choose a native Korean tutor.
