One of my greatest strengths is that I love working with people and I understand both American and Korean culture. I am a hard worker and flexible in most cases.

I graduated from college in 2018 with a major in English and a minor in Theatre. Since college, I've dreamed of travelling abroad to teach students English as a second language. I've visited South Korea twice and have formed many connections. I've also taught at a Korean elementary school and am TEFL certified. Currently, I tutor Korean students online in English reading and conversation. My students love my relaxed yet engaging classes, using it to overcome their fears of speaking English.

Experiences: Babysitting, caregiver, creating lesson plans, and working with large groups of children.

Personality: Fast learner, empathetic, creative, intuitive, and team-oriented.

Skills: Time management, problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, and flexible.

I have a Bachelor's in English with a concentration in literature. I am currently teaching ESL in Busan. I have two years of teaching experience. I would describe myself as a positive and outgoing teacher. I am extremely patient and understanding. I am good with classroom technology.

As a graduate from the University of North Carolina Wilmington with a major in English – Professional writing, paired with spending my entire life in an English speaking country, I can confidently say I have an expert-level grasp on the language and its mechanics and grammar. During my college education, I excelled as a writer, exercising my strengths in the field of professional writing. I believe that with my knowledge of the language and education in the writing space I can impart my skills to the next generation that want to learn English.

As for my personality, I am fond of children and find that I enjoy spending time with them, and they enjoy interacting with me. I embrace new experiences in my life and strive for excellence in every work opportunity that I am in.

I think that both my knowledge of English and my understanding and ability to interact with children would make me an ideal TEFL instructor, and I hope I will be considered for a position.

As an English graduate, I have the necessary skills needed to become an effective teacher. I believe that the modules covered in my English course prepared me to teach and communicate at the individual level. For instance the basics of linguistics and the function of a text structure covered in my course has shown helped me understand the importance of not just teaching but making sure students truly understand the basics of a subject. Furthermore in addition to the theoretical knowledge of the course, I have also gained practical experience in one of my modules. In the Teacher Training Taster module, I have delivered a teaching session to fellow classmates.

I'm an outgoing bubble and friendly person. I'm very approachable and I am told I'm easy to talk to.

Due to the highly social and group based nature of a musical performance degree I have become accustomed to leading groups of varying sizes in activities. During my degree I studied teaching practices which I would love to apply on a larger scale. Prior to my degree I also studied English literature at A-Level for 2 years and have been an active reader for most of my life.

Forming new relationships, both personal and professional, comes very naturally as a result of networking throughout the course of my education and professional career. Furthermore, I worked a full time job alongside the final year of my degree and have experience handling a high workload over a long period of time.

I have a very approachable and down to earth personality, I enjoy being challenged and believe teaching abroad would provide me with valuable life experience.

I am punctual, diligent and enjoy placing myself in new environments while learning from new challenges.
I also enjoy applying humor in my day-to-day life. It is important to keep students focused on lesson plans however, it helps to apply some level of humor and fun to keep them engaged.
I am very passionate about music and have taught guitar to young people. I have also played with several music groups and performed on stage.
I love travelling and to have a chance to teach people a new skill while also appreciating a new culture is something that I have aspired to do for a number of years.

I have been teaching both English and Math in some capacity for over 10 years, and I love what I do. I have worked with a few organizations preparing students for standardized tests. I earned a TEFL and will be completing my teacher certification either at the end of this semester or at the beginning of next semester.
It has been said that I am very patient, fun, and dedicated as a teacher. Both my in-person and online students become more confident, stronger students and more self-aware people who I believe will be very successful in life. I have worked with mostly middle and high school students, but I have always been very open to all ages.
I believe that my time management, interpersonal skills, computer skills, and communication skills are my strengths. I can communicate effectively with anyone, as that skill is necessary to ensure that the ultimate goals are met. I would hope that any other skills I need I can be taught or trained to be able to have.

My education is in fine arts, so I have a unique approach to problem solving. I approach teaching with the knowledge that everyone has strengths to build upon, and gain successes. It’s not “Can we do it?”, but “How will we do it?”

Having a true passion for helping people reach their goals is undoubtedly a major strength of mine. I started teaching as a volunteer, for community involvement, and I found it gratifying. I had been working in the Fine Arts industry of New York, NY, and I felt dissatisfied. While I was fulfilling my “dream”, I wasn’t making any positive impact in my community. That drove me into teaching and although I’ve taken a break from it, I’m eager to support students again and share my language, culture, and encouragement.
