I have always liked working with younger students. I have volunteered at church teaching the elementary school students ever since I was in grade 12. I've also spent many years tutoring elementary school students and adult learners for many years.

From my experience, I've learned to be very patient and to be an active listener.

I am an enthusiastic, self-driven, and professional individual with a likeable and friendly personality as well as a can-do attitude. I am a graduate from the University of Leeds receiving a 2:1 in English Literature, a degree that helped develop skills in both written and verbal communication, critical thinking and independent decision making, time management and self-organisation.

Following my graduation, I also completed a 140 hour TEFL course, receiving excellent feedback from my personal tutor (a reference letter is available upon request).

In addition to this, I also spent 6 months in a teaching assistant position within a year 4 class (age 8/9). Within this position I worked with students one-to-one, in smaller groups of 2-8, and within the general classroom. This role boosted my confidence and knowledge in working with children and my teaching skills and ability was improved through hand on experience. In addition to this my employers provided a lot of support and advice which further assisted in the development of my skills. A specific responsibility of mine within this role were the intervention groups (groups of 4-8 children) which I independently taught daily for english, grammar, and handwriting.

Currently, I am working on a temporary basis as a cover teaching assistant in a year 3 class (ages 7/8). Many of my responsibilities are similar to my previous job position, however working in a different school and with a different age of children has further boosted my experience and confidence in the classroom. I am still teaching smaller groups of children grammar, english, and maths independently, and in addition to this I also have been teaching one-to-one phonics to some of the children.

I have also volunteered with a local youth theatre company working with children ages 4-12, assisting a small team run three weekly sessions. This has given me experience in working with a wider range of children, and also combined my love of drama and the arts with my love of teaching.

As someone who is passionate both about education and learning, I will be able to pass that passion on to my future students for both the language of English, and for education as a whole. After graduating with honors from TWU with a Bachelor's in Science for History, I have shown my dedication and perseverance in not only getting a job done right, but a job done on time and a readiness to learn from any bumps along the way. Being also a member of the National Society of Leadership, I have shown that I am a natural leader that can grab the attention of my class and lead them forward in a concise, understandable manner. Along with this, I held a managerial position at one of my first jobs the moment I graduated; acting as a mentor to new workers and bringing in an air of enthusiasm for my work force as well as an aura of perfectionism I would expect of a well organized team. Shortly after this, I went to be a payroll agent at an accounting firm and quickly rose ranks to educate my fellow employees on proper server maintenance, computer based procedures, and how to handle a section of our 50+ clients. I work adamantly and efficiently to have a good job done, but more than that, I strive to build with my team/class a friendly environment where mistakes aren't discouraged, seeing these stumbles as a stepping stone to a more solidified end product.

I am a patient, determined, and adaptable individual from Coleraine, a small town in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. I am a bilingual native English speaker with an extensive background in art, computers, and literature. I have always had a passion for travel and adventure, which was further reinforced during my university years.
I have lived more than three years in Asia, between Thailand and Korea. I have also traveled to and visited many other countries during this time. I have developed a deep appreciation for other cultures and find I feel most comfortable when immersed in another countries traditions.
I have previous experience teaching in the Republic of Korea. I taught students between the ages of seven and sixteen years old. I helped guide and educate students onto their future paths and found it to be a truly rewarding experience. Helping students overcome their adversities and find confidence in themselves taught me a lot about teaching. I gained invaluable experiences in teaching children and teenagers, and I discovered subtle methods of engaging each age group.
During my tenure in Korea, the Covid-19 pandemic struck the world. During this time, we were able to continue educating our students by carefully planning and following social distancing guidelines along with efficient use of personal protection equipment (PPE). I believe the skills I developed during this time were invaluable and are still of use today as variants of Covid continue to persist. I have also been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine. I am confident in my ability to work safely and diligently under Covid safety restrictions.
I have completed my 120 hours TEFL course and an advanced 30 hour course for Teaching Young Learners.

Hi there,

My partner and I are looking for teaching positions in South Korea for as soon as possible in a public school!

We are both native English speakers from Oxford, UK, qualified with teaching experience.

We have recently been offered a job in BangBae but this was for a Hagwon and we really are only interested in working for a public school in South Korea.

We both have degrees, I qualified in English Literature, studying modules such as Children's Literature and gained a 2:1. We also both have 120 hour TEFL qualifications, our DBS and all of these documents are notarised and apostilled- ready to go.

We also have teaching experience, mine being teaching children ,primary and secondary, in person and online for a number of years. Coaching students from GCSE level, through to A Level and even assisting in the editing of dissertations for university students. As such, I grew in confidence and skill through working with such a variety of ages and abilities.

I am an extremely articulate, energetic and bubbly individual who is very driven and compassionate. Having lived in New York for a while too, I am used to living abroad and assimilating into foreign cultures and very much enjoy immersing myself in unfamiliar environments.

I will attach my CV so that you can have a look.
I very much look forward to hearing back from you.

Kind regards,
Saffron Seddon

I have experience teaching students from the age of 8 to 18 years old. I have taught a range of subjects from engineering to history, as I previously worked for a British University. I have visited schools and colleges across the UK to teach them the benefits of higher education, alongside delivering subject taster sessions. I am highly motivated by ensuring that the students I teach progress and develop their skills. I am passionate about teaching and my passion for education shows when I am in a classroom. I also have experience working for a college working with students aged 16-18 teaching the benefits of work based learning.

I currently work as a Sales Advisor in a clothing store and during my time working, I have trained other colleagues to complete tasks such as using the tills, processing refunds, dealing with troublesome customers and greeting customers with a friendly and enthusiastic approach. I have also given presentations and seminars at university to over 20 students with ages ranging from 18-30, this included presenting and teaching skills and creating lesson plans and worksheets.
I have also worked with children – babysitting and a project on the learning development of young children which all included ages 3-12.
I have taught children during university events on how to handle animals, facts about the animals and any other questions they had.
I am passionate and enthusiastic about teaching and am dedicated to help the students be as successful in their learning as they can. I have a passion for gaining new knowledge and sharing that knowledge with others. I have a strong belief that the classroom should be a safe and fun place for students and to try and keep a positive atmosphere at all times. My goal is to teach students in a way that they can learn for themselves and have a positive and fun experience during their lesson time with me.
I am a great listener and can listen to each student to ensure they are understanding the work and are pronouncing words or phrases correctly. I am also excellent at giving feedback without sounding too harsh and can give helpful advice on how someone can improve and thrive. Due to my work at customer service, I have gained the skill at noticing when others may need help which would be useful for seeing how well the students are progressing and helping the students with their work if they need it.

I have experience with young learners and non-verbal communication from my work shadowing and volunteering experience at a speech & language therapy practice. Coupled with my extensive work experience in hospitality, this has provided me with leadership and problem-solving skills. I am a creative and empathetic person, who loves reading and travelling, hence teaching appeals to my strengths and interests. I am hard-working, enthusiastic and always looking to learn and develop my existing skills.

Throughout my middle school and high school experience, I briefly tutored people in English and reading music. In college I consistently maintained high grades while holding 3 jobs in teaching which included working with adolescents. I was hired by my university to work with people from ages 5-80 teaching them music and communication skills which I still maintain. While in college I was also sent resumes, essays, and assignments that I assisted with grammar and reading comprehension. Throughout the pandemic I continued teaching high school and elementary aged students both in-person and virtually so I have confidence in my skill to teach any age group in any platform-virtual or otherwise. I have always had an affinity for teaching and am passionate about working with others to grow their education and support them, and through my experiences I have become confident in my skills, resilient, and energized to continue working with others.

I have been immersing myself in the Korean culture out of interest since 2009, and am learning the language. It would be a great privilege to combine my passion for teaching, working with others, and cultural exchange.

I do not have any formal teaching experience, however I have had brief jobs where I have been around children: I used to babysit younger children aged between 1 and 5, I have also led a summer sports academy for older children aged between 9 and 11 years old. In the sports academy, I had to teach the children a new sport everyday and it went on for two weeks. From this experience, I began to develop my leadership and communication skills, since I was in charge, I had to present myself in an authoritative yet playful way, as I was still only working with children.
I like to think of myself as quite a patient, sympathetic person. I am currently a care assistant who deals with all sorts of difficult situations involving vulnerable people. I have to be able to care for and understand their needs, and if i'm not making myself aware of everything, I cannot complete my tasks properly.
I have been able to develop other skills through my job and my time at university, which I believe would contribute to me being a good teacher: As well as those mentioned, I am confident in presenting tasks to others well enough for them to understand what needs to be done at that time, I also work very well with others (something I have picked up from my time at university as I had to work in small and large groups to prepare different shows and presentations).
