과외하다
과외하다 در ۳۰ ثانیه
- 과외하다 refers to private tutoring, a major part of the Korean education system, usually done at home or in cafes for school subjects.
- It can mean both giving and receiving lessons, though '과외를 받다' is more common for students and '과외를 하다' for teachers.
- This verb is heavily associated with university students working part-time and parents investing in their children's competitive exam preparation.
- Commonly used with subjects like English (영어) and Math (수학), it represents the personalized side of Korea's massive private education market.
The Korean verb 과외하다 (gwa-oe-hada) is a cornerstone of South Korean social and educational discourse. Etymologically, it is composed of the Hanja characters '과' (課 - lesson/subject) and '외' (外 - outside), followed by the functional verb '하다' (to do). Thus, it literally translates to 'to do something outside of the regular curriculum.' In a practical sense, it refers specifically to the act of giving or receiving private lessons, usually in a one-on-one or very small group setting. Unlike a '학원' (hagwon), which is a private academy or commercial school with multiple classrooms and many students, 과외 is intimate, personalized, and often takes place at either the student's or the tutor's home. It is widely considered one of the most effective, albeit expensive, ways to improve academic performance in the highly competitive Korean education system.
- Academic Context
- In the context of the 'Education Fever' (교육열) in Korea, 과외하다 is the verb used when a university student takes a part-time job as a tutor or when a professional tutor provides specialized instruction in subjects like Mathematics, English, or Korean to help students prepare for the Suneung (CSAT).
- Economic Context
- For university students, 과외하다 represents a premium part-time job (알바). Because it pays significantly more per hour than working at a convenience store or cafe, it is a highly sought-after role for students from prestigious universities like SNU, Korea University, or Yonsei.
- Social Context
- Among parents, mentioning that their child is 'doing 과외' often carries a certain social weight, implying that they are investing heavily in their child's future. It is a word that appears frequently in K-Dramas like 'Sky Castle' or 'Crash Course in Romance,' where the drama revolves around the intense world of private tutoring.

우리 아이는 영어 성적을 올리려고 원어민 선생님께 과외하고 있어요.
Historically, the act of 과외 has been so influential in Korea that the government once banned it in the 1980s to curb social inequality, though the ban was eventually ruled unconstitutional. Today, it remains a ubiquitous part of life. It’s important to note that the verb can be used by both the teacher and the student/parent, though '과외를 받다' (to receive tutoring) is more specific for the student, and '과외를 하다' is the general active form used by the tutor. However, in casual conversation, a parent might say "우리 애 과외해요" (My kid does tutoring), meaning the kid is receiving the lessons.

Using 과외하다 correctly requires understanding its role as a '하다' verb derived from a noun. You can use it as a single unit (과외하다) or separate it with the object marker (과외를 하다). The latter is slightly more emphatic about the 'act' of tutoring. When you want to specify the subject being taught, you place the subject noun before the verb, often followed by the object marker '를/을'. For example, '영어를 과외하다' (to tutor English). If you are the student receiving the lesson, while you can say '과외하다', it is much more natural to say 과외를 받다 (to receive tutoring). Conversely, if you are the teacher, you might say 과외를 가르치다 (to teach a private lesson), though '과외하다' alone usually suffices to mean 'I am working as a tutor.'
- Sentence Structure: The Tutor
- [Tutor] + [Subject] + [Object Marker] + 과외하다.
Example: "저는 고등학생들에게 수학을 과외해요." (I tutor math to high school students.) - Sentence Structure: The Student
- [Student] + [Subject] + [Object Marker] + 과외 받다.
Example: "제 동생은 피아노 과외를 받고 있어요." (My younger sibling is taking private piano lessons.) - Temporal Usage
- Because tutoring is often an ongoing commitment, it is frequently used in the progressive form '-고 있다'.
Example: "지금 과외하고 있어서 전화를 못 받아요." (I'm tutoring right now, so I can't answer the phone.)
일주일에 두 번씩 중학생 과외를 해요.
When discussing the location of the tutoring, you use the particle '에서'. However, if the tutoring happens 'at home', the phrase '방문 과외' (visiting tutoring) is often used to describe the service. If you are looking for a tutor, you might say "과외를 구하다" (to look for tutoring/a tutor). If you have successfully started a tutoring arrangement, you say "과외를 붙이다" (to attach/set up a tutor for someone, usually one's child). The versatility of this word allows it to cover various academic, artistic, and even physical activities, provided they are private and instructional.
시험 기간이라 과외 시간을 늘렸어요.
그 선생님은 과외하기로 유명해요.
In South Korea, you will hear 과외하다 in almost every corner of daily life related to education. It is a dominant topic of conversation among parents in neighborhood cafes, university students on campus, and even children at playgrounds. In a typical Korean neighborhood, you might see flyers on apartment bulletin boards or lamp posts that say "수학/영어 과외 합니다" (Math/English tutoring available). These ads often highlight the tutor's alma mater, as the prestige of the university is a major selling point for parents looking for high-quality instruction.
- On University Campuses
- Students often discuss their '과외' schedules. You might hear: "나 오늘 과외 있어서 동아리 모임 못 가." (I have tutoring today, so I can't go to the club meeting.) Here, the student is the teacher.
- In Residential Areas
- Parents compare notes on tutors. "옆집 민수도 그 선생님한테 과외한대요." (I heard Minsu next door is also tutoring with that teacher.) This highlights the word-of-mouth nature of the tutoring market.
- In Popular Media
- K-Dramas frequently use '과외' as a plot device. Whether it's a poor student tutoring a rich one (like in the movie 'Parasite') or the intense competition of 'Sky Castle,' the word is synonymous with academic ambition and social mobility.
방학 동안 과외를 해서 여행비를 모았어요.
The word also appears in news reports discussing the 'private education market' (사교육 시장). Reporters often use '과외' when discussing the rising costs of living or the inequality in educational opportunities. You might hear phrases like '고액 과외' (high-priced tutoring), which refers to lessons that cost thousands of dollars a month and are usually reserved for the elite. Conversely, '그룹 과외' (group tutoring) is a more affordable option where 3-4 students share the cost of a tutor. In all these contexts, '과외하다' is the active verb that powers the discussion.
어머니들 사이에서 그 과외 선생님이 아주 유명해요.
요즘은 성인들도 취업을 위해 영어 과외를 많이 해요.
While 과외하다 seems straightforward, learners often stumble over its specific nuances compared to other educational terms. One of the most frequent errors is confusing it with 학원에 다니다 (to attend an academy). A '학원' is a physical school building where you go to sit in a classroom with others. '과외' is specifically private tutoring. If you are being taught one-on-one at a cafe or home, you are '과외'ing, not '학원'ing. Using these interchangeably can lead to confusion about the nature of your study environment.
- Mistake 1: Confusing the Role
- Learners often say "저는 영어를 과외해요" when they mean they are *taking* lessons. While technically '과외하다' can be used by both sides, it is much clearer for a student to say "과외를 받아요" (I receive tutoring). Using '과외해요' alone usually suggests you are the teacher.
- Mistake 2: Subject-Particle Mismatch
- When specifying the student you are teaching, you must use the dative particle '-에게' or '-한테'. Saying "학생을 과외하다" is common, but "학생에게 영어를 과외하다" (Tutoring English to a student) is more precise when describing the interaction.
- Mistake 3: Overuse for Non-Academic Subjects
- While you can use it for piano or art, you wouldn't typically use '과외하다' for a gym membership or a large group yoga class. For those, '레슨을 받다' (to take a lesson) or '배우다' (to learn) is more appropriate. '과외' implies an academic or skill-based 'curriculum' being taught privately.
Incorrect: 학교에서 수학을 과외해요.
Correct: 학교에서 수학을 가르쳐요.
Another subtle mistake is the register. '과외하다' is a neutral, everyday term. In highly formal academic papers, you might see '개인 교습' (private instruction), but using '개인 교습' in a casual chat with friends would sound overly stiff. Conversely, using '과외' to describe a university professor giving a lecture is incorrect; that is '강의하다'. Always remember that '과외' is defined by its 'outside the system' and 'private' nature.
Incorrect: 저는 선생님께 수학을 과외해요.
Correct: 저는 선생님께 수학 과외를 받아요.
과외 선생님이 오시는 날이에요.
To truly master Korean, you need to know when to use 과외하다 versus its synonyms. While they all relate to education, their contexts are distinct. The most common alternative is 가르치다 (to teach), which is the broad umbrella term for any instructional activity. Another is 지도하다 (to guide/coach), which is often used in a more professional or athletic context. Then there is 교습하다 (to give lessons), which is a more formal, technical term often found in legal documents or business names (e.g., '피아노 교습소').
- 과외하다 vs. 가르치다
- 가르치다 is general. A mother teaches a child to walk (가르치다), a professor teaches a class (가르치다). 과외하다 is specifically private, paid tutoring outside of school. You wouldn't say a mother '과외하다' her own child unless it's a very specific, structured academic session.
- 과외하다 vs. 학원에 다니다
- 학원에 다니다 (going to an academy) implies a commercial institution. 과외하다 is personal. If you say "학원 과외," it usually refers to small-group tutoring hosted within an academy building, but the standard '과외' is usually at home.
- 과외하다 vs. 레슨(을) 받다/하다
- '레슨' (Lesson) is a loanword used primarily for arts and sports (piano, golf, violin). While you *can* say '피아노 과외', '피아노 레슨' is much more common. '과외' is heavily associated with 'school subjects' (math, English, science).
그분은 학생들을 참 잘 지도해 주세요.
In formal settings, such as a resume, you might use the term 개인 지도 (individual guidance) or 학습 지도 (learning guidance). If you are referring to a mentor-mentee relationship that isn't necessarily paid, 멘토링 (mentoring) is the preferred word. Understanding these distinctions helps you navigate the social hierarchy and context of Korean society. For instance, if you want to sound more professional about your tutoring job, you might say "학생의 학습을 지도하고 있습니다" instead of just "과외해요."

نکته جالب
In the 1980s, the South Korean government under Chun Doo-hwan actually banned all forms of '과외' to ensure educational equality. This led to a massive black market for tutoring until the ban was lifted.

ریشه کلمه
From Hanja 課外 (과외) + Korean suffix 하다 (to do). 課 (과) means 'lesson' or 'task', and 外 (외) means 'outside'.
معنای اصلی: To perform tasks or lessons outside the prescribed curriculum or official school hours.
Sino-Korean (Hanja-derived)بافت فرهنگی
Be careful when discussing tutoring fees, as it can be a sensitive topic related to wealth inequality. Also, ensure you have the correct visa if you are a foreigner in Korea planning to tutor.
In English-speaking countries, tutoring is often seen as remedial (for students who are struggling). In Korea, it is often seen as 'advance' (선행), for students who want to stay ahead.

Summary
The word 과외하다 is essential for understanding Korean life; it specifically denotes private, paid tutoring as opposed to formal schooling or large academies. Example: '대학생 때 수학을 과외해서 용돈을 벌었어요' (I tutored math in college to earn pocket money).
- 과외하다 refers to private tutoring, a major part of the Korean education system, usually done at home or in cafes for school subjects.
- It can mean both giving and receiving lessons, though '과외를 받다' is more common for students and '과외를 하다' for teachers.
- This verb is heavily associated with university students working part-time and parents investing in their children's competitive exam preparation.
- Commonly used with subjects like English (영어) and Math (수학), it represents the personalized side of Korea's massive private education market.
Learn the Hanja
Knowing that '외' means 'outside' helps you remember it's 'extra' curricular.
Prestige Matters
If you are looking for a tutor in Korea, their university name is usually the first thing people mention.
Use Particles
Don't forget '를/을' when specifying the subject. '영어를 과외해요' sounds much better than '영어 과외해요'.
Respect the Teacher
Even though it's a private arrangement, tutors are treated with the respect due to a teacher (선생님).
