I currently teach English online to Chinese students, both adults and children. Using the curriculum provided, I teach grammar, vocab and conversational English using props, rewards and games to engage learners of all ages.

I have also taught English to local Koreans in my area, as part of an English-Korean Language Exchange I was a part of. We met once a week and the students directed the topics we spoke about.

I am currently a support worker, aiding adults with learning difficulties. I arrange educational and engaging activities to help improve their speaking and understanding, as well as support them in daily tasks. This job enables me to stay patient, creative and find alternative ways of communicating – as many of the adults I care for are non-verbal and require signing, images and gestures – much like teaching someone who speaks a foreign language.
