Find your Korean teacher in Markham

Korean lessons in Markham generally cost $27/h on average.

This rate varies depending on several criteria:

• Whether you're starting from zero or polishing existing skills;
• Experience and certifications: TOPIK-certified teachers may have higher rates;
• Lesson format: online sessions are often more affordable than in-person meetings;
• Package deals: booking multiple lessons upfront usually lowers the hourly rate;

Most instructors provide a trial session at no cost to ensure you're a good match.

Korean uses 24 core letters—14 consonants (ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅ ㅇ ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ) and 10 vowels (ㅏ ㅑ ㅓ ㅕ ㅗ ㅛ ㅜ ㅠ ㅡ ㅣ).

Unlike Chinese or Japanese, Hangul was designed to be easy to learn.

• The 14 consonants are based on how your vocal organs move;
• Vowel shapes follow a system: dots or short lines show sound variation;
• Letters stack into syllable blocks, making words visually compact;

A qualified tutor can teach you to read Hangul in just a few hours through guided practice.

A private tutor identifies your weak points and builds a plan that matches your schedule and goals.
