My strengths definitely lie in my persistence, determination, attitude and persona. I have graduated from an accredited University in the United States, and it is also a Christian University, which definitely has shaped my character. I have learned patience and love for the students whom I teach and I truly believe that the youth are our future.

Experience: Hoping to gain my first experience as a teacher of English as a foreign language in South Korea. This would be my first time teaching English in a foreign country, but I can promise you that I am an incredibly hardworking and trustworthy person that would excel in this position. Also, I have a love of Korean culture as I am very interested in Korean entertainment and the Korean language as well. I have been teaching myself Korean for about a year now and am continuing with my Korean studies daily.

Personality: I am a very easy-going person that can get along with literally anyone. I am very patient, understanding and mindful of others. People close to me often say that I am a very considerate, generous and loving person. I am always looking for ways to create progress in my life through learning and/or gaining new skills. I am an incredibly strong and resilient person overall and I work very hard at everything that I do.

Skills: I am passionate about reading and writing because I believe that having a way to express yourself in these ways can make you a more well-rounded individual that is capable of better relating to others. My mother, who has a PhD in Literacy and a Masters degree in Education, instilled in me a fascination and close relationship with the English language. I have always enjoyed teaching to small groups and I enjoy helping others to understand in a way that works for them. I enjoy the challenge of finding different ways of doing things and I believe that teaching English is a very good way to fulfill that challenge. I am adept at learning in general as well. I learn things very quickly. And if I don’t know how to do something, I will teach myself and figure it out, usually within an hour.

Regarding my education level, I have a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Sydney. I have taught chemistry to high school students in Thailand, and have also been an Assistant Professor (Nazarbayev University) for a period of 4 years. I am an easy-going person, and like to teach eager young minds.

I have a Masters´ degree in Bilingual Education and a CELTA TEFL. I have taught English for over 5 years in a school setting. I feel I have the relevant experience and qualifications to make a solid contribution to the learning needs of your students. I´m an outgoing, motivated teacher that gets a lot of satisfaction from seeing my students progress.

I feel my strengths and experience come from my academic days. In primary school I helped younger students through a 'buddy program' which allowed me to help new students get settled into the school.

Throughout the years I have also helped students with homework and tutored students for upcoming tests.

This required patience, understanding and kindness as you would be dealing with students of all ages and personalities and so it meant finding different ways to keep their interest as well as making sure they understood what they were being taught.

I am a hardworking and confident individual who is a strong team leader and a team player. For example, I volunteered as an English teacher in a small town in Sudan for three months, whereby I taught and prepared lessons. Additionally, I am a patient, approachable and friendly individual. As a peer mentor at university, students were very comfortable in approaching me about any concerns they had with settling into university life and I gave advice where necessary. Additionally, I have excellent listening and communicational skills and I am a highly organised individual with outstanding time management. My experiences of being a volunteer teacher have enabled me to develop my interpersonal skills and organisational skills. I adapt well to new environments and I am keen to take on new tasks and challenges. Furthermore, I am creative and like to use different teaching techniques to make lessons as interactive, enjoyable and informative for the students.

I have a diverse and strong skill set developed over years of hard work and dedication. I consider my core competencies to include first and foremost my deep understanding of the principles and grammar of English, but extend to my mathematical talent, my ability to write clearly and coherently, my experience with a variety of IT packages, and my natural capacity to work incredibly well with other people, either within a team or with clients and customers.

I am an avid reader. I like to read a variety of non-fiction material; with topics including, but not limited to, Popular Science, Popular Culture and have an active subscription to, and regularly read The Royal Society of chemistry Magazine.
I have a great love of fitness and health, and am a regular gym goer. I can speak two languages fluently and one more semi-adequately.

My previous employment as an adventure trip guide overseas displays my desire for new challenges and the ability to work with children of various ages and social backgrounds. This is in addition to my strong involvement in a team dynamic as well as the capacity to work as a leader, particularly in unfamiliar and novel situations.

I have a considerable amount of experience displaying my competencies in both written and verbal communication, in addition to a high level of interest in travel and experiencing new cultures within both a professional and social sense.

Within my educational experience; the importance of professional communication has been acquired through various presentations and business conferences in which I was required to present theories and business ideas in a concise and proficient manner

Having lived in two different countries as a child (Thailand and Kuwait) I have developed social skills which stand me in good stead in any situation. I am sociable and a good communicator and have a good sense of humour which I find an asset when dealing with people. My job in a public house has taught me how to get on with people and work effectively in a team situation. I am friendly, approachable and am good at getting on with people from all walks of life. Also when I was a gym instructor a coached many types of people and clients in helping them reach their fitness goals.
I would describe my personality as outgoing but not extrovert and I can make assert myself in all situations. My friends would describe me as easy going and a good listener and a supportive friend. I greatly enjoyed working on my 120 hour tefl course and am looking forward to putting all this theory into practice. I believe I would make a good teacher as both my parents are teachers and I have seen at first hand what their working lives were like and and I believe I understand the demands of such an important role.

I am hoping my experience in Korea showcases my desire and dedication to education. I have had the opportunity to instruct a wide variety of ages ranging from 8 to 17. As a result, I am sensitive to the unique needs of elementary, middle, and high school students, offering positive encouragement, reinforcement, and constructive criticism to keep students focused and motivated.

I feel this experience will translate very well into your company. I have also completed a TESOL certificate in January 2013. I would enjoy the opportunity to meet with you personally in order to discuss how my experience and desire will enable me to make a valuable contribution to your institution.

For the past 4 years, I have worked in various theaters throughout America as a costume stitcher, wardrobe supervisor, and designer. These opportunities have allowed me to gain skills in communication and education. In the world of theatre, communication is everything. Being able to adapt and communicate with people with a variety of different skills is essential, especially when moving from one theatre to another. Working as a stitcher and wardrobe supervisor, I've had experience teaching people skills related to makeup application, costume stitching, crafting, and designing. Recently, I graduated from Purdue University with a major in Theatre Design and Production. During my time at Purdue, I had the opportunity to be a teaching assistant for a costume design class. This position involved creating lesson plans and activities for students to learn skills related to costume stitching and design. I just completed my last semester of my undergraduate degree while I was studying abroad in Seoul, South Korea. While in Seoul, I met people from all over the world. Many of my friends were studying English and would ask me questions if they were struggling. I found that I really enjoyed helping people learn something new! Now that I've graduated, I'm excited to begin the next adventure in my life. I want to continue pursuing teaching as my career in a city that I love. I look forward to hearing from you!
