Hi, I'm Robyn Hunt, a curious, energetic and fun-loving South African young woman. I have a passion for travelling and experiencing new cultures and languages. I have experience teaching children on a volunteer basis in the past, as well as planning lessons, and I really enjoyed my experiences. I also have experience Au Pairing and working with children in holiday activity clubs. I am eager to pursue this line of work on a more full-time basis.

I hold a Bachelor of Journalism and have recently completed an Advanced TEFL Certificate. Some of my notable skills include the following: I have a valid drivers license with 5 years experience; I am First Aid Level 1 certified; I can swim; I am proficient in Microsoft Office Programs and Adobe Creative Suite. I am an excellent planner and multi-tasker, I am highly organised and I function well under pressure. I am very interested in experiencing Korean culture and lifestyle.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am an experienced and enthusiastic English teacher who has been teaching for the previous three years in Manizales, Colombia and Shanghai, China. I have taught in secondary public schools, training centers, and most recently at an IB kindergarten. I have obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Georgia Southern University and three teaching certificates: 120-hour TEFL, TEFL in China, and a Teaching Certificate issued by Colombia’s Ministry of Education. Through these experiences, I have developed strong professional skills in collaboration, organization, and communication. As a teacher I strive to maintain a positive learning environment and allow every student the opportunity to grow and learn according to their own strengths.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

*Note: I am applying as part of a teaching couple. My wife Chantelle and I taught together and separately around the world for the last three years.

I have much experience working with children which helped me gain the patience, compassion and energy that is required to work with children.

I have an extensive amount of experience working with children within the ages of 8-18. This is because I have been part of a dance studio/team since I was about 3 years old. I started assisting dance teachers since I was in grade 8, and have had multiple teaching jobs since then. Currently, I am the director/choreographer of a University hip hop team with 20 students within the age range of 18-25.
One of my strongest characteristics is that I am welcoming and make people feel comfortable around me. This has lead me to building rapport with other people very fast and is why I am considered "people-friendly". I love building relationships and find value in community. I am outgoing, funny and tend to play a leader role when I work with others. Considering this, I also love working in teams and am known for considering everyone's point of view when solving a group problem.
The skills I have learned from teaching, dancing and being a full time University student, has made me excel in working in fast-pace environments and deadline based settings. Since joining a competitive dance team in high school, I have mastered time management and learned how to self-motivate myself to complete tasks with easy and high quality.

내 생각에는 어린이들이 미래이어서 우리의 일은 어린이를 잘 도와야 해요. 어린이들은 스스로 가르칠 수 없어서 저는 대학생일 때 언어 치료 공부했어요. 언어 치료사라서 아동 발달을 열심히 공부했어요. 다른 사람들을 돕는데 너무 좋아해서 대학교에서 교육 조교 됐어요. 교육 조교 되는 데 좋은 성적을 받고 아주 열심히 일해야 됐어요. 교육 조교 되어서 공부도 열심히 하고 성공적으로 내 학생들을 도왔어요. 이 경험은 한국에서 아이들 가르치는데 좋을 거예요. 나는 어린이들을 좋아하고 같이 언어 배우면 좋겠어요.

In college, my area of study was child development with a heavy focus on early childhood development. As a Communication Disorders and Sciences major, with the goal of becoming a Speech Therapist, I took various classes instructing me on all facets of human development. As it is best to receive speech therapy in one’s own language, many of my peers chose from among the critical languages during our studies. Because of the economic and political changes and developments within South Korea, Korean proved to me to be one of the most critical languages for study. Though my studies focused originally on only the Korean language, I quickly became deeply interested in Korean history and culture. Due to this, I ultimately minored in Korean. During my days as a teaching assistant in a class focusing on the relationship between language and psychology, I often discussed with my students different aspects of the Korean language and the culture that influences it. In order to further my abilities in Korean and to improve my teaching skills, I believe the next logical step in my career is to teach English within Korea. I’m passionate about helping others and I thoroughly enjoy all education related endeavors.

I am a native English speaking graduate and a UK citizen and have recently completed a 120 Hour TEFL Course with a distinction. I have a real desire to improve the lives of others by teaching English, and look forward to creating exciting and engaging lessons to motivate my students and help them to learn effectively.
I have some teaching experience provided by the TEFL course, and in the summer of 2014 I worked as a Camp Counsellor for Summit Camp in Pennsylvania, a special needs camp for boys and girls ages 8 – 19. As part of my role as a counsellor, I had to motivate and assist campers with different activities, as well as monitoring them and responding to any incidents such as accidents or behavioural problems. It was important to establish good behaviour and ensure activities ran smoothly in order for the campers to get the most from their experience at camp. This required me to be enthusiastic, positive and caring, as well as being responsible and firm but fair.
In October 2018 I graduated from the Open University (OU) with an Upper-Second Class Honours degree in Natural Sciences (Chemistry). The OU is a public distance learning and research university, and so I carried out all of my studies off-campus. Studying for a degree in this way required me to remain focused, motivated and committed in order to be successful. Studying in my own time allowed me to develop my time-management and organisational skills and to become more self-disciplined and responsible.
My previous work and travel experiences have required me to communicate effectively with customers and colleagues as well as many different types of people from many different places. This has greatly improved my social and communication skills in addition to my ability to cope with obstacles, making me a more confident and creative person.
Overall, the skills and characteristics I have gained make me ideally suited for the job, and I believe that my enthusiasm, motivation and commitment would immediately benefit any school.
I would very much like the opportunity to discuss my application with you further with an interview. Thank you for taking the time to read my CV and I look forward to hearing from you.

I have experience working with children of all ages, from summer camps and toddler groups to teaching English to refugees in Greek refugee camps, the latter being more challenging due to the harsh conditions faced. Despite this I enjoy educating children and helping them develop, both linguistically and socially. I have also honed my own skills through journalistic work during my undergraduate and experience of a master’s degree. I am also planning on undertaking a TEFL course before I arrive in South Korea as I have no formal teacher training.

I am a happy, smiley person who knows how to remain in charge and calm in front of challenging situations, particularly due to the trauma informed teaching course I took before I worked in refugee camps. Having spent extensive time travelling alone, as well as working whilst completing a full-time master’s course, I am well organised and hard working.

I completed my undergraduate in Psychology (St Andrews University), which benefited my scientific, statistical skills and emotional intelligence and am currently undertaking a master’s in International Conflict Studies (King's College London), which has enhanced my essay writing and editing skills and academic rigour.
