I have four years experience working as a Foreign Language English Teacher in Romania, working in the Brasov area during 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. During my time within this position, I was responsible for the planning and undertaking of English classes for children of all ages (8-18), as well as the planning and supervision of other, non-English related activities such as crafts, sports and performing arts. This role allowed me to use my outgoing personality to make a real difference in the lives of children who were learning English for use in their futures. My experiences in Romania allowed me to develop a skillset including, but not limited to, clear communication, timekeeping, initiative and problem solving. I believe that these skills would make me a great candidate for a role teaching English as a foreign language in Korea.

I also have 18 months experience as an online English Tutor. During this period I used online platforms to teach English to both foreign and domestic English students. This role was a way of furthering and improving on the skills that I acquired in Romania, as well as allowing me to utilise my proficiency in technology as a teaching tool. This role was key in allowing me to develop the skill of adaptability, ensuring that, despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the students were still able to receive top-tier English classes which were open and convenient to both them and myself.

On a personal note, I am a friendly, outgoing person who is always willing to put himself out there for all kinds of opportunities. I hope that in Korea I can continue to do this and have a real impact on the lives of those who I can assist in their English studies.

I'm a well disciplined teacher with enthusiasm and a good team player. I love children, I love being around children. The smiles kids display is so priceless. It just makes my heart so happy. I love igniting the spark of curiousity in children. I'm a flexible and socialible teacher. I'm patient and I have a positive mindset towards learning.

I completed my Bachelor's degree in Sociology in 2020 and went on to complete a 120-hour TEFL course shortly after. I have always wanted to work with children and during my time in school I completed a weeks work experience at my local primary school, assisting teachers in their classrooms. It was here that I gained my understanding of why people choose to teach; simple tasks such as encouraging a child to tackle a hard word in a book they're reading can have the biggest impact, and there is nothing like seeing the look of accomplishment on a child face once they get it right. I feel that my passion for helping others, taking on new challenges and the skills I have acquired whilst completing my degree and TEFL course make me the ideal candidate for this role.

I believe that I have a good combination of skills and experience that will ensure that I will succeed at teaching English as a foreign language. I believe that I will be an asset to any classroom. I recently completed a 120-hour TEFL qualification alongside my bachelor's undergraduate degree. I studied anthropology, which allowed me to develop my interest in different cultures, and appreciate cultures different from my own British upbringing. This has allowed me to become more open minded, and passionate about various cultures and traditions, which is why I believe that I will flourish as a teacher in South Korea.

I am enthusiastic, outgoing, and confident in my abilities. I work well in a team, but also thrive on my own, organising activities that ensure that the children receive the best education. I have previous experience working with kindergarten age children (3-5 years old), and I enjoy facilitating their growth and understanding of a topic. I worked with these young children as a play facilitator in a nursery, where I assisted in running activities and free play time for the children to explore and contribute to their own education. I believe strongly that younger children have incredible minds which can be guided, to ensure that the children grow to their fullest potential.

During my secondary education, I was a prefect and mentor to younger students, and organised one-on-one literacy tutoring, with students that needed more assistance with their reading and speaking skills; I believe that this experience will lend itself well to teaching English to students, as I already have experience surrounding tutoring in the English language, alongside the certified 120-hour TEFL qualification. I am patient, and care about the development of each child, and I believe strongly in ensuring a good education for all children.

Since graduating from university with a second-class bachelor of science degree, I have been living and working in Liverpool, a city that is known as the culture capitol of the United Kingdom. I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people and talking to them, understanding their lives and being able to connect on a human level, and share experiences and cultures. This is the reason why I strongly wish to teach English in South Korea. I am so excited at the prospect of immersing myself in the culture, and experiencing all that South Korea can offer, from rich cultural traditions, to beautiful landscapes and delicious food!
NB: I am applying with my partner Dominic Henderson.

As a person, I believe that I have a wide range of experience in both academia and in a professional capacity. Having completed a degree in psychology with honours, I have learnt a lot about different cultures as well as human behaviour. In my final year, I conducted my own piece of research which involved collecting, analysing and compiling data into a final research project which demanded good time management and work discipline.

As well as my degree, I believe I have an outstanding mix of work experience which will aid me well as a teacher in Korea! I have worked as a special needs camp counsellor in the United States for 3 months, which involved not only running camp activities but also physical and emotional care work for both children and adults. We had a mix of people with physical and mental special needs throughout the summer, with a weekly turnaround of campers. During the summer, I worked in a team of 5 counsellors and have learnt valuable teamwork skills. I also took part in a leadership course at the start of the summer to return as a unit leader for my cabin, which gave me excellent evaluative and assessment skills.
This was a challenging job, as well as being in another country for a significant amount of time and has given me valuable experiences that will aid me in all walks of life. I am certain that I can bring what I have learnt at camp to the classroom and encourage creative ways of learning!

I have also worked as a sales associate part-time for the last 2.5 years at Superdry in the centre of Liverpool, and more recently also joined the LEGO store part time for the last 6 months. Working full-time hours over two jobs has been challenging but has granted me with good time management. I have gained more experience from engaging with both children and adults in both clothing and toy retail, and with the experience I had as a camp counsellor, I believe can make me a well-rounded English teacher.

Personality wise, I am very open minded with a passion for learning about other cultures and experiences! I have a varied number of hobbies including outdoor rock climbing, computer programming, football and playing the guitar. I would love to live and work in Korea, with not just teaching others but also learning about Korean culture and tradition myself.

NB: I am applying with my long-term partner Ffion Redburn.

I am very passionate about education and working with children. Teaching is a career that I stumbled upon but found great enjoyment and growth. I am super inquisitive and always go above the call of duty which is how I became head teacher and mentor at my previous school. I am also very patient as I feel to be an educator you need to have this personality trait in order for students to not fear you and feel comfortable.

As a qualified Social Worker, i have worked with children and adults in many different settings, from schools, to prison, court and hospitals doing group as well as individual work. I am Naturally empathetic and easily adaptable. I taught in China for one year and loved the experience of learning about a different culture and sharing my knowledge as esl teacher.

I consider myself as a polite, confident and well mannered individual with a desire to succeed. I have a positive attitude not only in my work ethic but also in general and always ready to work as a team member. I can approach all situations in a professional manner and instilled confidence in those around me. During my online teaching training experience i have gained valuable experience that will be of great use in the classrooms, i have gained to be patient and understanding, but also calm when dealing with difficult classroom situations and how to deal with them.

Though this is my first year in South Korea as a teacher, I have been teaching both in and out of the classroom for the past 7 years.

I obtained my ESL certification in 2015 and have since travelled abroad to teach before coming to South Korea. I developed a passion for teaching after completing a summer program in Puebla, Mexico where I taught English and French to children and adults of all ages. This was my first classroom experience and I loved making connections with my students- watching them grow and become proud and confident in their progress.

I find myself to be a very easy-going person that gets along well with others, and I manage my time wisely. I am very detailed oriented, and adapt well to new situations.

I think I have a lot of strengths that would make me a perfect candidate for an ESL teacher in South Korea. In terms of actual classroom experience, that is where I am lacking but I make up for it with a passion for teaching – the only reason I went to university was so I could get a degree in order to obtain a visa and apply for ESL teaching roles. I have studied abroad and lived for two years in different countries during my studies. I lived in Australia as well as Japan, and this allowed me to meet and connect with people from all around the world, which made meeting new people and making new friends one of my biggest strengths. This also made me amazing at adapting to life in a foreign country and it made me realise that that is what I’m meant to be doing with my life – living in a distant land and helping people with their English at the same time. In terms of my personality, I’m a very patient and understand person, especially when it comes to people learning English as their second language – as it’s important to understand that not everyone can pick up linguistics at the same speed. I’d describe myself as kind-hearted and a passionate person, with a great work ethic and tonnes of motivation – this is what I’m hoping to instil in my students! As for skills, I did my degree in International Tourism Management with Japanese, so I like learning different languages and interacting with people from different countries and cultures (in a nutshell). I feel as if my life’s trajectory is pulling me towards English teaching and in my heart it feels like this I what I’m truly meant to be doing with the next decade of my life, so I’m hoping one day I can call a country in Asia home and what better place to start than South Korea?!

Hello,
I have five years of teaching experience. I have taught 9th, 10th, and 12th, grade English and Public Speaking. My classes have included honors, core, and core special education inclusion. I am great at building a positive rapport with students. I excell at getting students to participate with kindness and compassion. I come up with fun lessons that include visual, audio, and tactile resourses.

I am so excited to take my two teenagers and become a part of the amazing culture, cutsoms and language of Korea.

Thanks,
Jody Taylor

I have experience working as a sunday school teacher for 3 years (on a voluntary basis). I really enjoyed this experience so that is why I would like to now teach English in Korea, I'd like to further this experience. As a teacher I am very good at creating fun lessons, I always ensure that the lessons are interactive with the learners, so that I can keep their attention on me.

I am an easy-going person, I'm fun and I love interacting with different types of people. I have a positive outlook on life and I just strive to be happy.

I'm passionate about teaching and developing young people. I am very creative and can write songs.

I have experience as a volunteer mathematics tutor. My students range from middle school to high school. These tutorial sessions are on Fridays and Saturdays, and are 2 hours long with a break in between. I was an editor of my high school newspaper which has given me an attentiveness to sentence structure in English. I am also a reader at my church, Saint Peter Claver, which has allowed me to be comfortable in commanding and speaking in front of a group of people. I have worked in retail as a teller. I was able to keep up with the pressure of being on my feet as well as engaging with many customers.

I am a qualified FET phase educator and one of my majors is English. I believe my experience and qualifications will be beneficial to the workplace.

I have 2 years’ experience as a teacher’s assistant. There is a lot I can offer to the education of young children.
. I have excellent time management skills and the ability to balance multiple deadlines, while working under pressure.

I am a fun and outgoing person who loves kids. I have 4 years volunteer experience at a kiddies church for ages 7-11. I love working with kids and entertaining them. I also work well under pressure and have good leadership skills. I’m easily adaptable to environments and cultures.

I am a certified Dramatic Arts and Creative Arts teacher with excellent verbal communication, writing skills and effective teaching methods. I have successfully taught diverse groups of learners when I was a student teacher (Grade 11, 10 & 9). I am also skilled at evaluating learner’s needs and developing teaching strategies, materials, and lesson plans. I am well organized, able to control larger and small group of learners.

So in terms of experience, I've worked in several daycares and have been in situations where quick thinking and strategizing are a must to ensure the kids I'm responsible for are learning the basics and are learning them safely. I like to see things to the end and push for the very best possible solution. I don't like the words “I can't do it” coming from any child and strive to change that to “I can do it” because it warms my heart to see them smile when they have learned from their mistakes and achieved their goal.

I have had a lot of experience teaching younger students, older students and adults. I worked several years at a Japanese language school as a teaching aide for younger students. I have worked with and overseen adults in a professional capacity of government elections for many years. I have worked with disabled children and adults as a caregiver and teacher.
