Corinne: United States: May 23, 2022

I hold a 120 hour TEFL certification, so I know how to teach students and feel comfortable designing and delivering effective lesson. I'm also a self starter- my favorite jobs are always those in which I'm in charge of directing myself and how to get my work done.
I really enjoy volunteering, especially with kids! For a couple years in high school, I helped coach a team of students for a mathematics competition, which was a blast. I loved teaching them new concepts and seeing their faces light up when they understood. Also, finding activities that they would enjoy was a fun challenge. I have also taken the opportunity to work with kids during college. That volunteer opportunity is less about teaching, but I still get the chance to read with kids and play with them, which makes my day every time!
In terms of my personality, I'm a little more on the quiet side when you first meet me, but I do love to get to know people over time. I like to have fun, which sometimes means hanging out with people, but also means watching a movie by myself. The most important things to me are enjoying my life and continuing to learn, which I hope to do by gaining more real-world experience as an English teacher.
