I have previously studied abroad in Seoul on a year's exchange. During this year, with the friendships and relationships I established with Koreans, I often assisted them with their requests to help with their English. Whether it was pronouncing words or contextualising the meaning of sentences. I also help my three year old nephew in developing and speaking his English.
I am only just graduating now so do not have any physical classroom teaching experience yet, however, I have signed up to a Summer teaching camp in Romania this summer to give me some valuable experience and to put the knowledge I have attained from my TEFL course into practice.

My year in South Korea confirmed to me that I would absolutely love to teach English as a foreign language to Asian students. Their infectiousness and desire to learn and improve their speaking skills really made me realise that I could make a valuable difference to peoples' lives. I really appreciate and admire their desire and determination to learn; their absolute respect for their education. South Korea is an incredible country with incredible people, I miss it very much! It would be a dream come true to return there to work there. I'm already fantasising about reunited with authentic budaejigae and dakgalbi!

I am an outgoing individual with a positive outlook on life. From travelling across Asia and Europe over the past years, I really do love embracing other cultures and interacting with people from different backgrounds to mine. English is the most common global language, and assisting people in learning their language would be a really rewarding and empowering job for me.
