Hello, I am a Seattle resident who would like to work as an English teacher in South Korea. I believe I am a suitable candidate for this position because I have a passion for teaching as well as the necessary qualifications listed for the position. In terms of my educational and professional background, I have a B.A. degree in English Language & Literature from the University of Washington Seattle campus, as well as a TEFL certificate from the International TEFL Academy. In June of 2022 I completed a 1 year contract teaching high school English in a place called Székesfehérvár, this is a small Hungarian city not far from Budapest. During the year that I taught overseas I gained an increased level of patience. I grew as a leader and learned to use strategies when dealing with difficult behavior, I mastered my organization skills, and I sharpened my communication abilities.
Prior to being a high school English instructor, I worked at Shoreline Community College as a writing tutor for nearly three years. The students I taught were primarily non-native English speakers of international backgrounds. A majority of my work consisted in helping students construct essays for their college classes or university admissions. I found it to be very rewarding to assist students from all over the world, it was a joy to help them achieve their academic goals.
Through these experiences as well as my travels through Europe, North Africa, India, and the Middle East, I have spent many hours learning from and communicating with individuals of various cultural backgrounds. These opportunities have helped me understand the world on a deeper level.
In addition to my international experience, I have worked in radio. When I was a student at the University of Washington, I was a DJ for the college radio station. I hosted my own show, this led to the opportunity I had as a volunteer at the Seattle radio station KEXP. And so it is with this history that I have been shaped into what I believe to be a suitable candidate for a teaching position in South Korea. I thank you for taking the time to read about me, and I look forward to your response.
