I am very excited for the opportunity to teach English abroad in South Korea. I have been a working professional in the music industry for 10 years and have been considering shifting careers into a teaching position since last year. I have built quite the creative skillset due to the artistic nature of my career so far. Innovation, creativity and Empathy are among my greatest assets. In addition, the years spent in various professional environments gives me a different perspective and work ethic than someone who is just starting their professional life.
I have a wealth of experience teaching music in one-on-one private lessons and small group learning environments. My first exposure to teaching was as a TA in University during my Master’s Program. I designed my own syllabus and curriculum based on the resources the school wished for me to use. I taught that class for three semesters. After graduation, I started teaching privately at an after school music academy in Loveland Colorado called the Loveland Academy of Music. My voice studio there consisted of 8-12 students at any given time. I also ran a master class once a month for a small group of up to 5 students for a group lesson. Eventually I opened my own private practice and have been teaching independently ever since.
In addition to those experiences, I also served as the Children’s Director for the Mountain Ancestor’s Grove Church in Longmont Colorado. Through this experience I had the opportunity to plan, prepare, and deliver curriculum and programming for a small group of children of various ages.
Other teaching experiences I have gathered over the years include substitute teaching in Conroe ISD as a part-time substitute teacher and working at a summer camp for St. Bartholomew in Katy Texas, the church that currently employs me. Our classroom at the camp had 40 kids in the 3rd-5th grade levels.
I believe that my skill set is uniquely qualified to excel as an ESL teacher in Korea. Please reach out to me with any questions you may have. I warmly welcome a positive response.
