Meet Mr. Calvin, your expert Korean language teacher.
Mr. Calvin is the founder of KoreanLearnin (est. 2022), where he has guided over 1000 students to confidently speak and understand Korean. His teaching style is practical, structured, and engaging; his lessons are built from years of real experience working with diverse learners. He invented the Yodafication technique, a simple way to understand Korean sentence structure using English words.
Before creating KoreanLearnin, Mr. Calvin spent 7 years as a dance instructor, mastering the art of breaking down complex breakdancing routines into simple, learnable steps. This is a skill he now applies to language teaching. He also worked for 8 years as a credit counselor, where he built strong communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life.
With his unique background in both education and personal coaching, Mr. Calvin brings his all to every class. Whether you're an absolute beginner or looking to refine your advanced skills, you'll learn Korean in a way that feels approachable, encouraging, and results-driven... no fluff.

Mr. Calvin is very in tune to what a total beginner needs. There are so many activities, games, exercises etc., to help you learn. The price is great!
In only 2 weeks, my vocabulary and speaking confidence has grown. The students enrolled are knowledgeable and will always help you. 10/10 course!
For the short few weeks I've been learning Korean I feel accomplished. I love the daily exercises and the feedback. I also love the supportive community.
Calvin's Korean learning school, is a great way to learn Korean, in an interactive fun and supportive way. The discord community is great!
Very systematic, well-planned with prudence! I'm glad I chose this among other classes. It doesn't drag, in fact, the opposite.. I've learned so much!
Mr. Calvin and his team of tutors are awesome. I would highly recommend this class.
I tried learning with Duolingo and I wasn't getting it. Since I used this program, I have been able to pronounce things better.
KoreanLearnin.com is an excellent course. Mr Calvin's teaching is easy to understand. He provides a ton of resources to support your learning. I highly recommend!
Calvin and Eva are both very skilled and engaging teachers. The platform also facilitates making friends and studying, I've met very lovely people here.
I am amazed that within a few months I am starting to understand some words, reading, and speaking. I am grateful for the teachers. Thanks for making learning Korean fun.
Enjoy this class. My study group is amazing. We learn quickly and I'm getting there!
This program is the best! You get way more than you pay for. Extra sessions for reading, sentence building, vocabulary, study groups, and more!!!!
I've tried other paid programs before and it was not a good experience. KoreanLearnin is a step above the rest! Mr. Calvin goes the extra mile.
My expectations were exceeded! You get so much material, support, and encouragement. The price that you pay for the class is so affordable, considering what you're getting in return.
I highly recommend KoreanLearnin – I love that it has such a caring community. The teachers are very hands on.
The classes are interactive and no student is left behind. You get out of it what you put into it. If you are up to the challenge, this learning experience is worth your time and effort!
Mr. Calvin, all the resources and additional classes are more than worth the cost of the classes. I would recommend this to anyone (and actually have)! He does push when needed, but I needed it. Very happy!
Korean language is not an easy language to learn, especially if you are technically challenged and/or 71 years young. However, Mr. C makes the class interesting, enjoyable, and challenging!!!!
I started 2 weeks ago and it has been a fun journey so far. I'm really enjoying these lessons. Highly recommend this class to anyone who has no prior knowledge of Korean.
I started understanding very quickly! Very professional and at the same time, a relaxed environment so that you're not totally stressed out :)
A great way to learn how to structure your sentences in order to prepare you for speaking Korean. The teacher, Mr. Calvin has a cool sense of humor and makes the lessons fun!
Calvin's classes are quirky and fun. They are challenging, but in way that pushes you to continue learning. The discord community is like family!
There are so many resources that Mr. Calvin has set up for us and the other students are all so friendly. Mr. Calvin has such a positive attitude, so much patience and enthusiasm for teaching.
The tutoring sessions help with more attention on the areas I need to work on personally without taking away from others in class. Love it!
I love being in this community that Mr. Calvin started and built for us. This community has helped me get through things more than people think!
I am grateful for everyone in this community, from the friends I have made along the way, the new friends I will meet, and the incredible instructors that I've gotten to learn from!
I only joined a couple of months ago, but this community really gave me something to look forward to every night with assignments and classes!
This community and all of the wonderful and amazing individuals within it have played a huge part in my life! Thank you Mr. Calvin!
