I believe that I have a good combination of skills and experience that will ensure that I will succeed at teaching English as a foreign language. I believe that I will be an asset to any classroom. I recently completed a 120-hour TEFL qualification alongside my bachelor's undergraduate degree. I studied anthropology, which allowed me to develop my interest in different cultures, and appreciate cultures different from my own British upbringing. This has allowed me to become more open minded, and passionate about various cultures and traditions, which is why I believe that I will flourish as a teacher in South Korea.
I am enthusiastic, outgoing, and confident in my abilities. I work well in a team, but also thrive on my own, organising activities that ensure that the children receive the best education. I have previous experience working with kindergarten age children (3-5 years old), and I enjoy facilitating their growth and understanding of a topic. I worked with these young children as a play facilitator in a nursery, where I assisted in running activities and free play time for the children to explore and contribute to their own education. I believe strongly that younger children have incredible minds which can be guided, to ensure that the children grow to their fullest potential.
During my secondary education, I was a prefect and mentor to younger students, and organised one-on-one literacy tutoring, with students that needed more assistance with their reading and speaking skills; I believe that this experience will lend itself well to teaching English to students, as I already have experience surrounding tutoring in the English language, alongside the certified 120-hour TEFL qualification. I am patient, and care about the development of each child, and I believe strongly in ensuring a good education for all children.
Since graduating from university with a second-class bachelor of science degree, I have been living and working in Liverpool, a city that is known as the culture capitol of the United Kingdom. I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people and talking to them, understanding their lives and being able to connect on a human level, and share experiences and cultures. This is the reason why I strongly wish to teach English in South Korea. I am so excited at the prospect of immersing myself in the culture, and experiencing all that South Korea can offer, from rich cultural traditions, to beautiful landscapes and delicious food!
NB: I am applying with my partner Dominic Henderson.
