What a lesson really looks like

These are real screens from the courses. In every lesson you answer first, then the solution opens and the reason is explained in plain English.

  • TOPIK II Grammar Masterclass

    You pick an answer and the solution opens straight away, with the reasoning written out line by line.

  • An exam-style grammar question with the chosen answer marked correct and a three-step solution below it
    TOPIK II Grammar Masterclass

    Exam-format questions for every pattern, with the correct answer marked and each step of the reasoning explained.

  • A full model answer written out on the Korean manuscript grid, with a character counter showing 277 of 300
    TOPIK II Writing Masterclass

    Complete model answers laid out on the 원고지 manuscript grid, with the character count you are aiming for.

  • A reading answer choice taken apart: the trap it uses is named, and the choice that matches the passage is shown below
    TOPIK II Reading Masterclass

    Wrong answers are taken apart one by one: the trap is named, and you see the line in the passage that settles it.

  • An idiom card with a drawing of the literal scene behind 손을 떼다, and its real meaning revealed below
    Korean Idioms and Expressions

    Every idiom starts from a drawing of the scene behind it. Guess the meaning first, then open the card to check.

What our students say

Early TOPIK GUIDE students on the new courses.

  • A big step up from the old package

    I used TOPIK GUIDE's material for TOPIK I and later for TOPIK II, and passed Level 2 and then Level 4. The new courses are a big step up. Instead of just reading, you answer quizzes and get instant feedback, and the practice sets explain every answer. If I were starting again, I would choose All-Access and go from TOPIK I to TOPIK II in one place.

  • The writing course I wish I'd had

    Writing was my biggest fear, and TOPIK GUIDE's writing tutorials helped me pass Level 5. The new TOPIK II Writing Masterclass goes much further: model answers on a real 원고지 grid, a simple method for planning the Q54 essay, and the same essay written at two score levels, so you can see what makes the difference.

  • Clear path for beginners

    I started Korean as a complete beginner and passed TOPIK I Level 2 with TOPIK GUIDE's earlier material. I have now looked at the new TOPIK I courses. The listening lessons play every recording twice, like the real test, and the picture questions look like the exam. For a beginner, starting with the Foundation Course and then the masterclasses makes a lot of sense.

  • Good for learners with little time

    I work full time, so I can only study in short breaks. I looked through the new TOPIK II courses on my phone and the lessons are easy to follow in small pieces. The Reading Masterclass has a 70-minute time plan and names the common trap answers, which is exactly what a busy learner needs.

  • I can focus on my target level

    I want TOPIK II Level 3 for a GKS scholarship. In the new TOPIK II Grammar Masterclass, every lesson has a Level badge, so I can study the Level 3 patterns first. I also like the Mistake Clinic and the similar patterns section in each lesson.

  • Still a real deal

    As a long-term learner living in Seoul, All-Access is the package I would choose. Besides TOPIK prep, it includes Essential Hanja, Korean Idioms and Expressions, and Reading the News in Korean, which help with real Korean, not just the exam. New courses are added during the 5 years too. For $99, it is still a real deal.

Questions before you enroll

Tap a question to see the answer.

How are these courses different from free videos on YouTube and other websites?

Free videos are useful for learning one topic at a time. The courses give you a complete, step-by-step path to the exam:

  • Lessons follow the real TOPIK question numbers, time limits and formats.
  • You practise, not just watch. Quizzes give instant feedback on every choice.
  • 10 original practice sets per section. Each answer explains why the correct choice is right and why the others are wrong.
  • More than 6,700 native-speed Korean audio clips.
  • Everything is in one place, in the right order. You don't lose time searching for the next video.
Can I try a course before I buy?

Yes. Every course has free sample lessons. They give you a clear idea of the content and quality before you pay.

And after you buy, you are covered by our 14-day money-back guarantee.

The mock tests on your website are free. Why should I pay for practice sets?

The free mock tests are past official TOPIK papers. They are great for checking your level.

The courses contain 10 original TOPIK GUIDE practice sets per section that are not available anywhere else. They come in teaching format (worked examples inside the lessons) and full exam format.

Can I study on my phone?

Yes. You can study on a computer, tablet or phone. Every lesson is designed for small screens as well as large ones.

How do I get my courses after I pay?

You get access immediately after payment. You are enrolled automatically, and your access details are sent to you by email.
