Sophie: United Kingdom: Sep 06, 2021

I am a recently qualified TEFL teacher (I gained my qualification through The TEFL Org), finishing in October 2020. Despite my little in-person teaching experience, I am ready to become fully immersed into the world of TEFL. I taught conversational English to non-British people in my local area in 2018, and in January of this year I began teaching English online. I have wanted to move to South Korea for a while now yet due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I have been unable to. However, I am ready and willing to start the journey and I cannot wait for the possibility of teaching. I would say that I am a very warm, sociable and friendly person who thrives on being around people. What I am equally looking forward to, however, is the cultural exchange; my endeavour to learn Korean gradually is one step towards this! My History degree equipped me well with confidence, the ability to communicate, and being easily adaptable. My open-mindedness and willingness for hard work will no doubt aid me in my attempt to really succeed in a school, and I cannot wait for the opportunity to show this.
