I bring a solid background in education with hands-on experience as a teacher assistant and private tutor, where I’ve developed effective teaching strategies and a deep understanding of student needs.
I am patient, empathetic, and highly adaptable, able to connect with students from diverse backgrounds and tailor my approach to foster a positive and engaging learning environment.
My strengths include strong communication, lesson planning, and classroom management, combined with a keen ability to integrate technology into teaching and provide personalized instruction to help students succeed.

I am currently employed as a tutor in a language department at university. My responsibilities include assistance with undergraduate assignments, assistance during formal lectures, teaching extra classes, invigilating and marking tests and exams.
I am very spontaneous upon getting to know someone. When making mistakes in my academics or job responsibilities, I consider it important to identify my mistakes and rectifying them upon a next opportunity.
I am experienced in language, having studied two languages (English and Afrikaans) at university level, making me fully bilingual. My writing and speaking skills have also been recognized through competitions and general accomplishments during my university studies.

I hold a degree in Spanish and Portuguese from Queen's University Belfast, where I graduated with a 2:1 classification. My passion for language education was solidified during my two years working as an English Language Assistant in Spain, where I developed my teaching skills and cultural awareness. I also hold a CELTA certificate, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in English language teaching methodologies. Additionally, I have experience working in summer camps, where I honed my ability to engage students of different ages and learning styles in dynamic and interactive lessons. My adaptable and approachable personality helps me connect with students, fostering a positive and effective learning environment. I'm eager to bring my skills and enthusiasm to a teaching position in Korea.

I have just finished teaching English in two primary schools in Tokyo, Japan and am currently studying my Trinity Cert TESOL online. My undergraduate degree in International Relations and masters degree in International Journalism, prove my desire to work in a global context. I have travelled extensively, including most of Europe, China, Taiwan, Thailand, India, Japan and SE Asian. As a result I am comfortable working and living with people from different cultural backgrounds.

Here are two references from two prestigious previous employers: 'David Cannon, London Business School Fellow: “Josh has ideas. These come from his clear ability to pull together the ideas of others from multiple disciplines as well as his own thinking. Josh is not afraid to be radical and challenging in his thinking. He is inventive and is willing to do the hard work of building his innovative thinking on the prior and on-going work of others. Josh is also hard working and thorough in his approach, leaving no stone unturned.”'

'Laura Voyle, INC London, Director: “Very bright and has lots of good ideas. He can be confident that he has a lot to bring to future teams, and should be ready to handle the responsibility that this will bring.”'

I have been internshiping with elementary school students, from grades 3 to special education. What I do love about being a part of the educational system is that there is ways to improve a students scores and behavior in the classroom. For example I have used to engage with students during reading time, by reading a specific sentence that they are having trouble with and also asking them their own thoughs into the sentance. In the future I would like to also engage students before a exam/quiz, using fun games like kahoot, quizet and more apps to engage. Not only I experienced the curriculum but even outside of the classroom there is potential for students to engage in nature and culture of the city or place. My skills usually are complex like engaging with the student on a specific word or problem, behavior managment to control stong emotions into positive emotions in the classroom, engaging in numerous of educational toys like building blocks and sticks, being attentive into students needs or care, creating lesson plans that are fun and engaging to students.

Some qualities that I believe would make me a good candidate are that I am very punctual, level-headed, creative, easy going, and patient. Since I enjoy writing in my free time, I am also very passionate about the English language. Although I am new to teaching, I am quick to learn and put my full effort into any task I take on. I have also worked with children in the past through my mom's daycare center when I was younger. This included helping organize safe educational activities for the children to engage with.

I am a fully certified teacher and have been teaching for many years!

ENFP personality: extroverted and work well with others

I have been teaching in Korea for almost two years now and really love living and working here. I lived in Korea for a year, around seven years ago, too. I have experience teaching children and adults in other countries too, having taught in Spain and Madagascar. So I have gained a lot of experience, mostly teaching elementary age children, although I have taught all ages, from 4 – 60.

These years of teaching have allowed me to develop my teaching style carefully. I am a calm and patient teacher who likes to create strong working relationships with my students. I am fair and consistent with my temperament and I am a teacher that students can trust. This is my natural personality. I never get angry and I am kind and generous with my colleagues and students.

I have a postgraduate degree in Adult Education, Community Work and Youth Work which is an education based course. This course taught me a lot about how to be a stronger educator. I also have a completed TEFL 120-hour course. Furthermore, I passed a Teaching English to Adult Learners course this year to advance my knowledge with regards to adult education. Education is a passion of mine and I use that passion to motivate my students and always look for new ways to engage with and help students.

I really love to teach people and have a lot of enthusiasm for the job. I believe I am a very strong employee, I can work well with teams and also I am adept at solo working.
