My teaching philosophy is to provide quality education amongst all the students that I teach, regardless of their differences and cognitive development. I want to ensure that they learn, no matter what differences and personalities they have. I have been teaching English at a hagwon, and I realized that the most organic way of teaching English is through conversation and engaging. Speaking and engagement are my best English teaching tools however, these tools are also guided by the student’s English level. My skills and experiences will have a positive impact in the Korean school society.
In my teaching journey, I have understood that some learners lose interest in studying for many reasons. To overcome this situation, I create learner-centered classrooms and include the learners’ interests and hobbies when I teach. In this way, all the students get to have fun while they are learning new knowledge. My teaching skills include using inclusive teaching strategies that accommodate all different levels of student’s intelligence such as fast learners, middle-level learners, and slow learners. These methodologies include debating, speaking, group work, and pair work. These strategies allow all the students to be actively involved and participate in the classroom, and it makes teaching and learning more beneficial. This also boosts students' confidence and communication skills and improves their self-esteem. It gives them the opportunity to be able to express themselves freely in English.
I believe that a teacher is somebody who learns throughout their lifetime because they learn new things every day. Teachers need to do research every day because they must deliver accurate information to the students. I'm always open to learn from current and experienced teachers. Teaching and learning are two-way street, the students learn from the teacher and the teacher also learns from the students. A good teacher is someone who learns every day. I will also improve my skills by using all available support and learning from more experienced co-teachers. I am also furthering my studies in inclusive education because I found it important to understand different students and be able to accommodate all of them in one lesson. I am grateful for these opportunities and eager to learn from my colleagues to grow my knowledge. I also believe that teamwork divides the task and multiplies the success therefore, I'm willing to express my open-minded attitude and work collaboratively with different groups
