I am a hardworking individual that loves working with kids. Patience, understanding, and diligence are all traits that I embody and plan to cultivate in the years to come.

I have 5+ years of experience editing English essays and tutoring – chemistry, math, and Latin – and I would like to put my skills to use as a teacher for international students. As an ESL teacher and role model, I plan to lead my students in a collaborative environment where they can ask questions and interact with each other during collaborative assignments.

Dear GLOII,

I am a passionate English Teacher with five (5) years of experience teaching students of various ages (preschool to adult), literature and English language skills. I have become an expert in providing students with a well-rounded education in grammar, reading and writing. I am motivated to help students advance in their English language abilities for future personal and professional success!
I have also had great success in building engaging lesson plans and communicating ideas to foster student comprehension. I am an expert in adapting course materials to meet established standards and individual academic capabilities. I am well-versed in motivating students to meet learning objectives!

I've taught piano and choral music to children since I was 13. I taught piano at my parents' piano school, and then after graduating from High School I would work as a teaching assistant for the choral teacher at the beginning of school years. I recently graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in English, and mastery of the language is a strong point of mine. I follow rules well and am very personally accountable.

I am a college graduate with degrees in English and Linguistics, with minors in Chinese, Asian Studies, and Education. I have five years of combined teaching/tutoring experience and three years of experience as a copyeditor. I have worked with students of all ages and worked extensively with students learning English as a second and/or foreign language. From 2019-2020, I was teaching English in Mongolia at Otgontenger University. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was 14-years-old. I love teaching, seeing my students grow, helping them achieve their personal goals, all while learning from them along the way. I am flexible, curious, and a fast learner. I adjust well to new environments, and I am a hard worker; I will do everything and anything for my students.

While I don't have experience teaching English, I have taught older adults how to use computers, as I specialize in Computers.

I am extremely patient, outgoing, and extroverted with the right atmosphere.

Above education, I value having a good time and having fun, I think that students will thrive and learn more if the atmosphere isn't too focused on learning, this creates pressure that is not necessary and counter-intuitive/detrimental to the overall experience of learning English.

I come from a philosophy background, I understand that learning in principle, only comes from interest, and fun, which creates dedication and spurs motivation.

I am here to teach, but to reiterate again, to create a positive environment for the kids, and since I'm so cool, they'll want to learn and try to impress me (joke).

I have outstanding experience in teaching students from all cultural and economical backgrounds. I have excellent student satisfaction ratings and have helped students with specific goals in increasing their English abilities ranging from OPIC, business english, speech, and essay writing. Furthermore, I have taught a wide range of age groups from elementary students to working adults. I am very adaptable to any working situation and have great leadership. My ability to connect with students and bring out the best of them is second to none and I find it extremely rewarding when I see my students succeed. I am punctual, diligent, and excellent in time and stress management. Additionally, I have proven to myself and employers that I am a great asset to any team due to my consistent efforts and desire to always improve and learn.

I am a 26 year old native English speaker, I have over 2 years experience teaching ESL in both China and Italy, to ages ranging 2 – 40 years old. I have taught classes from 1:1 to up to 20 students per class.
I am trained in Cambridge and Trinity curriculum.

I studied Drama and Performance at university, I am a very friendly and outgoing person, who enjoys learning new cultures and meeting new people and making new friends.

I believe every child should have the opportunity to progress regardless of background or language.

I aim to provide compelling reasons as to why I am the perfect candidate to teach English in Korea. I will first explain my approach to teaching before outlining my experience both with Korea specifically and with living abroad more generally.
I firmly believe that teachers must be able to play two key roles: that of an instructor, and that of a learner. To be an effective instructor, the teacher must know the material, be an effective communicator, and have the ability to express ideas in a lucid and engaging manner – this is the intellectual component of what it means to be an effective instructor. However, there is also an emotional component: the effective instructor will be encouraging, compassionate, and patient – yet firm, confident, and assertive. Teachers must also play the role of a learner; they must be open-minded enough to question the methods they employ, and flexible enough to adjust those methods to suit the needs of their students.
On a more personal note: throughout my time in school – from grade school through university – I always appreciated teachers who were motivated to have their students develop a genuine liking of the subject material, and who really enjoyed interacting with their students and keeping them engaged. Without exception, I found these teachers to be extremely empathetic toward the needs of their students, and it was these classes that students enjoyed the most. I aim to emulate this approach when I teach, for which the above description of the roles I think teachers must be able to play provides a framework.
I have had exposure to different cultures in the past because, from grades nine to twelve, I studied at an international boarding school in India under the British A-Level curriculum, where I had the chance to interact with students from many different countries, including many students from Korea. I found that they were very warm, friendly, generous, and open-minded. Overall I found that living abroad was an incredibly enriching experience, cultivating within me an even greater sense of curiosity about the world. I am very aware that there's the chance for culture shock in cases where one moves somewhere new; I am confident my experience living abroad for school has prepared me well for any such challenges, should they ever arise.
I firmly believe that as a foreign teacher I am representing Canada and Canadian culture. Teaching in Korea would be an amazing opportunity for us to exchange cultures and to learn more about each other – this fills me with excitement!

I have numerous qualifications in the area of education and it is something I am truly passionate about. I have been involved in educating others in various capacities since the age of 15, when I first started volunteering in my local sports club as a youth coach. And more recently, I have gained valuable classroom experience working as an ESL teacher with Apax English in Vietnam.

Since my youth, I have worked and volunteered in a number of different roles involving coaching and teaching both children and adults. I have worked with children from a range of age groups (5years-17years) in my role as a sports coach, camp leader, and teacher. However, through my work as a Games Development Administrator and a Personal Trainer, I have also gathered valuable experience working with, and tutoring adults in both group & one-to-one settings.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary school teaching, specializing in the areas of Physical Education and Geography, as well as numerous coaching qualifications. My recent TEFL qualification has added greatly to my knowledge of teaching methodologies and has further enhanced these qualifications. I also hold a Master’s degree in the area of Sports Science, something that proves I am a hardworking and motivated individual.

I have spent the last year working as an English teacher in Vietnam, something which has allowed me to apply all I have learned throughout the years, but in a school setting. I have taught children ranging in age from 4 years to 16 years old and have really enjoyed the challenge of teaching English as a second language. In June of last year, I was promoted to the position of Senior Teacher at my centre. This involved the new responsibility of reviewing my peers’ lessons and providing them with critical feedback on how to improve in their role as teacher. In November of last year, I was promoted to the role of Head Teacher at my centre, which made me responsible for all admin, scheduling, staff training and staff assessment at the centre, as well as still making sure to maintain my own high standards of teaching in the classroom. I really enjoyed the challenge of this new role and I look forward to applying all I have learned this past year in a new environment.

My passion for making a lasting impact in someone's life is what compels me to work hard everyday. I believe this is most memorable and apparent with children as we mold and shape them to be successors of the future. Not only this, but the innocent hearts of the children are what bring sincere joy in the midst of my seemingly chaotic life. Firmly believing this, I've dedicated seven years to serving as a Sunday School teacher at a Korean-American church in the U.S. to help nurture students' educational and social growth. Here, I've utilized and grown my verbal and written communication skills, ability in lesson planning, and presentation skills while further increasing my eye for detail and organization. I've also participated in the Junior Achievement program, where I taught a 4th grade class about business and economics through visual based activities, hands on group work, as well as individual reading and writing assignments. During my visits to Korea in the past summers, I have also volunteered at the Pyungkang Christian Academy in Seoul, where children between the ages 5 to 7 are taught English in an intimate, caring environment. Through these experiences, I've realized that it's not just about what you teach, but how you teach it. I understand that patience and genuine care is what makes a great teacher.
