Experience –
For the last year, I have been teaching Middle School students at Woni Middle School on behalf of the EPIK program. It's been a very rewarding experience, and I'm going to miss the school. Middle teaching taught me the realities of a classroom and English teaching beyond what I had in my TEFL course. Woni is a well funded middle school with reasonably high expectations. I ran 11 lessons for 9 classes. I laboured hard in Powerpoint and Word, using lots of pictures and presentations to really get the most of the content. I developed a decent catalogue of games and activities, testing what worked and what didn't with the kids.

Personality –
I'm hard working, I get very into tasks. I found myself going out of my way to refine my classes.

I have an eye for improvement and a thirst for it. In myself, I work hard to better myself and change. As a teacher, this comes out in trial and error improvement in the lesson planning and an eye for target content. I want to improve in everything I do.

I don't get embarrassed in the classroom. I can be doing the most ridiculous stuff with the kids and I just commit to it. I make myself laugh with what I do and carry on the lesson.
