Why at Hankook Korean?​

Before I started Hankook Korean language school, I had taught hundreds of TOPIK students at many different Korean language schools in Singapore. Over 15 years, I have encountered students with different cases. Of many, one common problem students have is that there are no trained and experienced TOPIK teachers around and most of them had experience of wasting money and time on TOPIK preparation courses which are advertised showy and fanciful with no proper curriculum system or teacher. TOPIK I might be able to be handled by self-learning and Korean class taught by any native Korean. However, it will be a lot different as you get into TOPIK II. TOPIK II consists of two slots. The first slot is the listening examination (60 minutes long with 50 questions) and writing (50 minutes long with 4 short-answer questions). The second slot is for the reading examination (70 minutes long with 50 questions). Especially, when you study and prepare for the writing, you will feel the need of teacher who is trained and equipped with professional teaching skill and deep understanding of TOPIK test. At Hankook Korean Language school, unlike other regular Korean classes, TOPIK class is taught and led only by the principal, Christopher Choi. I can help your TOPIK test preparation in the right way and score best while you save your time and money which you already wasted or might waste on other lousy courses. Don't hesitate to call.
