Hello there!
My name is Courtney, and I am a 26-year-old South African and native English speaker with a love of other cultures and languages. I have a Bachelor of Science in Geography and am very friendly, energetic, reliable, responsible and an incredibly hard worker with a high work ethic. I am currently looking for teaching positions in central Seoul and am available to start as soon as my visa is processed.
I was formally trained as a facilitator in South Africa and Switzerland, and as a presenter in Belgium. I am also a qualified TEFL Teacher, having completed a 160 Hour course with an advanced certificate in teaching young learners. I have been privileged enough to have worked with youth aged 5 to 30 years-old from over 100 countries in a number of different contexts including running education programmes, delivering trainings, hosting summer camps and developing online learning materials and course curriculums.
I absolutely love presenting, facilitating and teaching and I have experience delivering classes and workshops online and in person to learners at many different levels from elementary to university level, in many different countries and cultural contexts. I am flexible and adaptable, and I am able to adjust my methods, activities and content level according to who I am teaching.
For the last four years I have worked for a Swiss nonprofit organisation that conducts youth education programmes in over 180 countries. In that time, I had the privilege of meeting people from, and living all around the world – including travelling to Seoul. Through my own experience, I have seen how learning a new language can connect you to the world in new and wonderful ways. I became an English teacher to combine my love of inter-cultural exchange and my love of public speaking and facilitating with trusted teaching practices to offer others the enriching and life changing opportunity that learning English provides.
I would like to teach in Korea because, of all the places I have been privileged to travel, Korea stood out among the rest for the kind and hardworking people and rich culture. I have always wanted to go back and to have the opportunity to experience living and working there.
I am excited to give you more information and I look forward to speaking with you.
