At a glance
- Ieum English Bundang offers groups capped at four and private lessons. A bilingual teacher leads the beginner group, so students can ask questions in Korean.
- Ieum charges ₩300,000 for eight group sessions and from ₩500,000 for eight private sessions. October 2026 evening groups start at 19:00, 20:00 and 21:00.
- Klang Edu lists groups averaging four to five at ₩240,000 for eight monthly sessions. Aetbildyu caps groups at five and has a Korean teacher for absolute beginners.
- Bundang English Connect runs free group activities on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons. The programme is run by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Being able to ask in Korean can make it easier to rejoin a conversation after missing an explanation. For a beginner, the way a teacher helps you get unstuck matters more than nationality. A bilingual beginner class and a class taught entirely in English offer different starting points.
For working adults, a schedule you can keep matters too. A group with set start times works differently from a private lesson arranged around your day. Class size also helps you decide between practising with several people and spending more time on your own expressions.
Read the number of sessions alongside the price. Eight group lessons, eight private lessons and a monthly plan with varying weekly attendance are different purchases. A free programme also comes with its own schedule and organising body.

Ieum English Bundang offers groups capped at four and private English lessons in front of Migeum Station exits 3 and 4. Bilingual teachers lead beginner groups, while native-speaker and bilingual teachers teach lower-intermediate groups.

What are the fees and course options? As confirmed on 8 October 2026, eight group sessions cost ₩300,000 and eight private sessions start at ₩500,000. Alongside conversation, the school lists TOEIC Speaking, OPIc, job interviews and travel English.

Can I find out the monthly cost before the consultation? Klang Edu, a minute from Seohyeon Station, is an adult-only group English conversation school. It publishes its tuition table on the website. The baseline is ₩240,000 for 8 sessions a month. The longer you sign up for, the lower the monthly rate.
Groups average 4–5 people, and a class opens even if only one person signs up. On top of the regular classes, free native-speaker sessions run 9 times a week. Weekly writing corrections are included. Cancel by 17:00 the day before and the session stays on your account.
The group classes are listed as taught by four native speakers, with no mention of bilingual teachers. If asking back in Korean comes first for you, look at number 1 or number 3 first. It is closed on Sunday.

- It closes on Sunday and has no bilingual teacher, so a beginner who really needs explanations in Korean should look at numbers 1 and 3 first.

How many people sit in one class? Aetbildyu, on Hwangsaeul-ro in Seohyeon, puts its group class cap on the website. A maximum of 5, with 2–4 on average. Class size is one way to judge how much individual attention you will get. Classes run in four stages: absolute beginner, beginner with a native speaker, everyday native-speaker conversation, and business native-speaker. The absolute-beginner class is led by a Korean teacher.
A write-up from an absolute-beginner student says one of the two hours went to expressions. The rest was listening and speaking practice. There is a passage saying the teacher spoke in English first. Anything the student missed was explained again in Korean. Weekly writing homework and corrections are included.
Group tuition is published at ₩240,000–₩420,000 a month. That covers 2–5 sessions a week. There is a meetup every Thursday and a social gathering once a month. Opening hours are not on the website, so you have to call to find out when classes run.

I travel for work and cannot stay tied to one neighbourhood. Is there a way? Wall Street English Bundang is an adult English conversation centre in front of Seohyeon Station. It sells native-speaker small-group classes bundled with online classes. Sign up and you can use eight centres. Samsung, Gangnam, Jongno, Yeouido, Sinchon, Ilsan and Busan are included. On days you cannot reach a centre, you take the class online.
Levels follow the Common European Framework (CEFR). Your starting level is set by a free level test. One bundle of classes is 50 minutes each of native-speaker class, discussion and social club. Personal coaching is added on top. The price is given only as from the ₩300,000s a month. The quote comes at the consultation.
Beginners are also taught by native-speaker teachers, according to the listings. If you are at the stage where you follow English but the words do not come out, this is the right class. If Korean explanations come first for you, look at number 1 or number 3. Weekday doors open at 10:00, so there is no before-work slot.
- Hours
- Mon–Fri 10:00–22:00, Sat 10:00–17:00
- Watch out
- The small-group cap is not a number on the website, so ask how many sit in a class when you go in for the level test.

Is there anywhere to try a group class for free before signing up? Bundang English Connect in Yatap-dong is a free English conversation programme run by a church. It is run by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It suits anyone who wants to see whether group classes fit them before paying for one.
Classes are split into beginner, intermediate and advanced. The beginner class covers simple conversation and reviews the grammar and vocabulary you learned at school. The teaching is done by native-speaker volunteers in their twenties. Meetings are fixed to two days: Wednesday evening and Saturday afternoon.
It is a gathering run by a religious organisation, and you should know that going in. There are no reviews on record, so you will have to see the atmosphere in the classroom for yourself. Apply through the enquiry form on the website or by phone.
- Hours
- Wed 19:00–20:00, Sat 13:00–16:00
- Watch out
- With no reviews there is little to go on about the classroom atmosphere, and with the days fixed to Wednesday and Saturday, anyone whose weekday evenings are busy gets only the one Saturday session.
