I bring a strong background in teaching English to students of varying ages and proficiency levels, with experience creating engaging lessons that emphasize communication and cultural relevance. My patient and approachable personality allows me to build positive relationships with students, while my adaptability and open-mindedness help me thrive in cross-cultural environments. I am passionate about fostering student confidence, and I combine clear communication with well-structured lesson planning to support both language development and classroom engagement. With enthusiasm, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment to student success, I am eager to contribute to a dynamic learning environment in South Korea.

I hold a degree in linguistics, which has provided me with experience in learning and teaching languages. I also come from a large family where communication and interaction with people of all ages are key. I love learning and teaching language and culture, and believe the two are completely intertwined.

Hello,

I hope this message finds you well. 

I am writing to apply for a full-time English Teacher position in Seoul beginning January 2026.

I am a bilingual Canadian professional with a strong academic foundation and international experience. I graduated in the top 10% of my class from McGill University’s Faculty of Law, earning placement on the Dean’s Honour List. During college, I received the Distinction Brébeuf, and in high school, I was awarded the Lieutenant Governor’s Youth Medal in recognition of academic excellence and leadership.

My background includes research, public service, and editorial coordination. I’ve worked in professional settings in New York and The Hague, and I am fluent in English, with intermediate Korean. These experiences have helped me develop strong communication, writing, and organizational skills.

I am dynamic, patient, jovial and deeply invested in helping students achieve their full potential. I believe language learning thrives in environments that balance structure with encouragement, and I am committed to creating that space. With that in mind, I am particularly looking forward to working with a school that provides the curriculum and material for classes. Whether guiding beginners through foundational grammar or helping advanced learners refine their voice, I push students to take ownership of their progress while celebrating every milestone along the way.

Thank you!
