My experience working as a Teacher's Assistant at a daycare has given me the important skills needed to teach young children. As my time as a teacher, I prepared children for pre-school by helping them with behavioral issues, teaching them to follow a schedule, and teaching them some basic knowledge they need to succeed in their next stage of school. I have much experience with classroom management, and I have different methods to maintain a positive and safe classroom environment for all students.

As an extrovert, I strive to bring energy to the classroom and make students feel at ease. It is important to maintain a positive learning environment where students are comfortable.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Communication Studies, and I am a talented speaker and presenter. I am clear in my directions and the way that I speak. I am able to read hangul, though I'm not able to speak Korean yet. I'm creative and passionate about art, so I would love to incorporate fun and meaningful activities into my lessons and promote creativity within students.

I have four years of teaching experience in Korea, a year of teaching experience in a Chinese academy in America, and three years of science tutoring experience for university level students in America.

During my undergraduate career, I have researched and developed an understanding of the
importance of health education and community development. As a result, I am consistently cognizant of
being a leader who is capable of bringing the team together. A minor in International Studies has also
prepared me to be culturally competent.

One of my greatest strengths is my ability to connect with members of the community, a vital skill when building relationships and communicating with stakeholders. While tutor at Transitions Alternative School, I had the opportunity to strengthen my communication and engagement skills through public education. I learned the importance of building rapport and the impact it has on a student's ability to retain the information shared with them.

I am recognized for being a dependable, generous, and flexible team member and employee. My
Administrative Assistance experience allows me to be responsible and organized. I perform well under
pressure, practice effective time management, and seek opportunities to improve efficiency. My software
skills include proficiency in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, which allows me to create detailed and
timely reports.

I am a young graduate with a degree in Foundation Phase teaching and Inclusive Education. During my years of studying, I obtained practical experience of teaching young learners and understanding various teaching methods. I am young; ambitious, caring, and patient as an individual, and I have an eager mind which would like to learn more from other schools.

I am organized; highly motivated, creative, and have an advanced knowledge of understanding and applying inclusion within a classroom environment. With my honours degree in Inclusive Education, I am able to help a large variety of learners in terms of their own learning needs.

I have a lot of experience with public speaking. My university required presentations for each class, both individually and in groups, in order to pass examinations. I believe one of my strengths is speaking in front of a group as I am a confident and enthusiastic person, and I have done it for years throughout my academic period. I also have many younger family members ranging from 3 – 11, who I spend time with frequently and I believe they have helped me learn a lot about how to communicate with children. I also feel that I am a very patient person, but also energetic, which I think would benefit me as a teacher.

I have done many different types of part time work whilst I completed my studies, which taught me an abundance of life skills and qualities that have made me into a better person. I am very confident working alone and alongside others because I have communicated with many different types of people. I also feel that I am adaptable to different environments and circumstances, so I can stay calm under pressure and learn from the unexpected.

Aiming to leverage academic experience and a proven knowledge of learning design to successfully fill the teaching role at your school. Frequently praised as detail-oriented by my peers, I can be relied upon to help your school achieve its goals using innovative problem solving and a background technology, design, and data responsive education methods.
The ability to:
Observe and evaluate students' performance, behavior, social development, and physical health of classrooms consisting of 20-30 students.
Adapt, conceptualize, and translate content requirements in delivery methods for different levels or types of learners to reach a goal of 85% proficiency.
Design instructional aids for stand-alone or instructor-led classroom or online use.

I am a young graduate student with qualifications in Foundation Phase teaching; Teaching English as a First Language, and Inclusive Education. I am a warm; caring, and organized orientated individual, whose passion solely focuses on helping young learners develop within the schooling systems.

I also possess skills such as being a reader and scribe, as I currently work independently with students who require additional help. Each of my students have unique learning barriers, and each one has improved my understanding as a teacher.

As a South African citizen, I also have background knowledge to diversity; inclusion, and promoting quality education amongst all young learners. Being South African allows me to also have the courage to engage with new learning and teaching techniques, which I may encounter in a new country.

Majoring in English, I rarely had exams in school. Instead, college consisted of going to lacrosse practice every day and writing a minimum of 50 new pages every week for various writing assignments. These essays were of course always pertaining to readings that the classes were engaging with at the time. I'm proud to say that my best grades have always been in English literature. Upon leaving school, however, one quickly learns that passions unfortunately come second to paychecks (at least if you want to move out of your parents' house).

Eager to start my career, I took the first corporate job I was offered. Things went surprising great. The office had high ceilings and and open floor plan. It was filled head to tow with people my age, hungry both to compete with and to help one another. I've always been a fast learner. The atmosphere in the office combined with my competitive sports background and desire to help my team succeed led me to quickly become a top performer at this large publicly traded tech company in New York City for the next three years. There, I developed strong rapport building and general communication skills. When COVID-19 forced us to begin working from home, it gave me time to think about the things I have not done and the places I have not been. Not wanting a promotion at the company I was at, which had moved to 100% remote work, I decided to purchase a 168-Hour Level 5 Online TEFL Course in hopes that I could soon spend 10 months teaching English abroad.

Shortly after beginning my TEFL course, I left my sales job to begin working at a nationally recognized, critically acclaimed restaurant. Here, again, the focus remains on communication. If I were asked to describe what I do at work in one word, it would be communicate. The restaurant has lofty standards to uphold and a story to tell about every dish. Each customer, conversely, has their own sets of dietary restrictions, likes, dislikes, etc. that we need to maneuver around during service. We work as a team. We communicate and we work to put smiles on customers' faces. While this work is very rewarding, I my eyes are set on teaching English abroad. I believe that the skill sets I began developing in school and have continued to build upon throughout my career will transition smoothly into teaching English. I hope you agree.

I take my job seriously and strive to perform to the best of my ability. Working in customer service strengthened my ability to multitask and communicate with others. I strive to make others feel comfortable and cared for with my friendly and caring personality. I have helped my sister with her children for over six years. By spending time with her son, who has special needs, I have learned that looking at the world from different perspectives is essential. I have also strengthened my patience and become more open-minded and flexible with others by spending time with him. I have become a babysitter, teacher, role model, and counselor to these children and have learned the importance of these positions to others. My experience with culinary arts, schooling, and babysitting has helped me to think outside the box and be more creative.
