KOCO TOPIK Prep
Structured, exam-focused preparation for the TOPIK — built for learners in the United States. Small cohorts, a proven method, real results.
Learn from a TOPIK author & former exam scorer
KOCO TOPIK Prep is built on the method of Una Jeong — a Korean-language specialist who doesn't just teach the TOPIK. She served on the committee that scores it and has authored more than ten books built around it. You're learning the exam from the inside.

Meet Una Jeong · 강사 정은화
The exam from the inside — designed by someone who has scored it, writes for it, and has taught it for over two decades.
Una Jeong 강사 정은화
Una Jeong has spent more than twenty years teaching Korean at major corporations, universities, and language institutes across Korea. What sets her apart for TOPIK prep is that she has worked on the exam itself — she served on the committee that scores it and has authored more than ten books built around it.
That dual vantage point — scorer and teacher — is the foundation of the method behind KOCO TOPIK Prep.

Strategy plus logic — built for American learners
문제 풀이 전략과 미국 학생 맞춤형 논리 학습으로 TOPIK에 대비합니다.
Through question-solving strategy and logic training built for American students, the course prepares you for the TOPIK — efficiently, in just ten weeks.
Question-solving strategy
Every TOPIK question follows a pattern. The course works through each item type — what it tests, the traps it sets, and the fastest reliable path to the answer.
Logic training, built for American students
Rather than translating word by word, you learn to remap the English patterns you already think in onto the Korean logic the TOPIK rewards — sentence order, particles, speech levels. Students get Una's proprietary Logic Mapping guides to support it.
Two real previews from Una's Logic Mapping guides — the reference sheets students work from in class.
English orders a sentence Subject–Verb–Object. Korean orders it Subject–Object–Verb and attaches a "role tag" (particle) to each piece. Word order for time, person, and place is flexible — it shifts with the speaker's focus.
At the advanced level, "because" isn't one skill — it's four. TOPIK II writing rewards choosing the right register for the context. The guide puts them on one scale:
TOPIK, in brief
