I have been meeting with Steve for the past four months to learn Korean. Steve is a knowledgeable, resourceful, patient, and supportive tutor. He brings a rich understanding of Korean language, culture, and society, as well as his educational background in linguistics, tutoring experience, and a wealth of resources into sessions. The content of his lessons is practical and interesting. He breaks down difficult concepts and answers questions thoroughly. We do speaking and writing exercises which are engaging and interactive. He also assigns relevant homework and readings. He is easy to reach by phone and is prompt with text messages & emails. He is flexible and accommodating in terms of scheduling and meeting location. He is always early to sessions and prepared. I highly recommend Steve as a tutor.

My boys really enjoy lessons with Steve. It helps to have his linguistic background instead to explain things instead of just instinctively knowing the tradition of the usual native speaker.

I've been searching for a tutor for a while now. I'm in school right now getting my AA in Korean Language and Arts. The lessons go by in class so fast that I don't always get everything and confused often. I'm really to happy to have found Steven, who's passionate about teaching, very patient and supportive. My weekly lessons have improved my comprehension, speaking and learning Korean. I'm enjoying my classes so much more now because of him. I highly recommend Steve K to anyone who wants to learn Korean. You will not be disappointed.

We moved from Asia to the States in Sep. 2014. Steve is a great tutor for my 10th grade son. Steve has great skill to interact with his students and his teachings are beneficial for a non native speaker in academic studies.

Again, it was a great lesson. He's great at assessing my skills and determining what I still need to learn and how I need to learn it. He's patient but still challenges me. He's been great
Dajeong K. from Los Angeles, CA
As a Korean, I was looking for someone who can teach me English in my native language. I found him from WyzAnt and he was perfect tutor for me! He taught me with his knowledge of English as well as Korean. I was very impressed by his fluency in Korean even he was born and raised in United States. I'm sure he is the best tutor for students who want to learn Korean in English and the reverse. For my personal reasons I stopped studying with him but I will definitely want to study with him again if I have a chance to continue studying English. I want to thank him for his patient, kindness and passion.

Kisu took his time to carefully evaluate my level and adjust my lesson plan accordingly. His knowledge on the subject matter is very impressive so I feel comfortable learning from him. Overall, a great tutor.
Eun Young K. from Torrance, CA
I am a native Korean speaker, currently learning English. I've attended many language academies in the past, and also had many tutors before. Kisu is the best teacher I have ever met. He is patient, Knowledgeable, and very smart! He speaks English and Korean both fluently, so I am able to understand many things I did not know before. I am so glad to find Kisu, and hope to study with him for a very long time!
