Hello! My name is Elizabeth Havens Aleong. I am 24 years old and from Midlothian, Virginia in the United States of America. I hold a degree in Liberal Arts with a concentration in literature. A few things about me- first, my mother has been a teach since before I was born. I have been going to school for all my life. Through her, I got to see the impact she has had on lives throughout her career. She still receives messages and visits from her now adult students. Would like to have a lasting impact on a child’s life as well. I would like to see them grow into confident English learners and have them enjoy learning. I am going to provide a compassionate happy learning environment, just like my mother did. In my Liberal Arts major, I maintained a 4.0 average in literature and a 3.5 in writing. I’ll use my experience as a student to guide my students into success. I want to pursue my passions of teaching and serving. I have been working as an intermittent Sunday school teacher since 2019. Recently I have been volunteering at a daycare for more hands on experience. I would also like to experience new ideas and concepts. You can learn absolutely anything if you open your heart and mind to it. Even children can teach you something if you give them the opportunity. I will have an open mind and give every experience a chance when new opportunities present themselves. I will be compassionate and empathic towards my students. Learning a foreign language can be tough but, it does not have to be a negative experience.

One of my greatest strengths is that I love working with people and I understand both American and Korean culture. I am a hard worker and flexible in most cases.

I graduated from college in 2018 with a major in English and a minor in Theatre. Since college, I've dreamed of travelling abroad to teach students English as a second language. I've visited South Korea twice and have formed many connections. I've also taught at a Korean elementary school and am TEFL certified. Currently, I tutor Korean students online in English reading and conversation. My students love my relaxed yet engaging classes, using it to overcome their fears of speaking English.

Experiences: Babysitting, caregiver, creating lesson plans, and working with large groups of children.

Personality: Fast learner, empathetic, creative, intuitive, and team-oriented.

Skills: Time management, problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, and flexible.

I have a Bachelor's in English with a concentration in literature. I am currently teaching ESL in Busan. I have two years of teaching experience. I would describe myself as a positive and outgoing teacher. I am extremely patient and understanding. I am good with classroom technology.

As a graduate from the University of North Carolina Wilmington with a major in English – Professional writing, paired with spending my entire life in an English speaking country, I can confidently say I have an expert-level grasp on the language and its mechanics and grammar. During my college education, I excelled as a writer, exercising my strengths in the field of professional writing. I believe that with my knowledge of the language and education in the writing space I can impart my skills to the next generation that want to learn English.

As for my personality, I am fond of children and find that I enjoy spending time with them, and they enjoy interacting with me. I embrace new experiences in my life and strive for excellence in every work opportunity that I am in.

I think that both my knowledge of English and my understanding and ability to interact with children would make me an ideal TEFL instructor, and I hope I will be considered for a position.

As an English graduate, I have the necessary skills needed to become an effective teacher. I believe that the modules covered in my English course prepared me to teach and communicate at the individual level. For instance the basics of linguistics and the function of a text structure covered in my course has shown helped me understand the importance of not just teaching but making sure students truly understand the basics of a subject. Furthermore in addition to the theoretical knowledge of the course, I have also gained practical experience in one of my modules. In the Teacher Training Taster module, I have delivered a teaching session to fellow classmates.

I'm an outgoing bubble and friendly person. I'm very approachable and I am told I'm easy to talk to.

Due to the highly social and group based nature of a musical performance degree I have become accustomed to leading groups of varying sizes in activities. During my degree I studied teaching practices which I would love to apply on a larger scale. Prior to my degree I also studied English literature at A-Level for 2 years and have been an active reader for most of my life.

Forming new relationships, both personal and professional, comes very naturally as a result of networking throughout the course of my education and professional career. Furthermore, I worked a full time job alongside the final year of my degree and have experience handling a high workload over a long period of time.

I have a very approachable and down to earth personality, I enjoy being challenged and believe teaching abroad would provide me with valuable life experience.

I am punctual, diligent and enjoy placing myself in new environments while learning from new challenges.
I also enjoy applying humor in my day-to-day life. It is important to keep students focused on lesson plans however, it helps to apply some level of humor and fun to keep them engaged.
I am very passionate about music and have taught guitar to young people. I have also played with several music groups and performed on stage.
I love travelling and to have a chance to teach people a new skill while also appreciating a new culture is something that I have aspired to do for a number of years.

I have been teaching both English and Math in some capacity for over 10 years, and I love what I do. I have worked with a few organizations preparing students for standardized tests. I earned a TEFL and will be completing my teacher certification either at the end of this semester or at the beginning of next semester.
It has been said that I am very patient, fun, and dedicated as a teacher. Both my in-person and online students become more confident, stronger students and more self-aware people who I believe will be very successful in life. I have worked with mostly middle and high school students, but I have always been very open to all ages.
I believe that my time management, interpersonal skills, computer skills, and communication skills are my strengths. I can communicate effectively with anyone, as that skill is necessary to ensure that the ultimate goals are met. I would hope that any other skills I need I can be taught or trained to be able to have.

My education is in fine arts, so I have a unique approach to problem solving. I approach teaching with the knowledge that everyone has strengths to build upon, and gain successes. It’s not “Can we do it?”, but “How will we do it?”

Having a true passion for helping people reach their goals is undoubtedly a major strength of mine. I started teaching as a volunteer, for community involvement, and I found it gratifying. I had been working in the Fine Arts industry of New York, NY, and I felt dissatisfied. While I was fulfilling my “dream”, I wasn’t making any positive impact in my community. That drove me into teaching and although I’ve taken a break from it, I’m eager to support students again and share my language, culture, and encouragement.

I am an outgoing and bubbly person. I have 11 years public speaking experience.
I love working with children, and have been teaching children English for 1 year. I have always wanted to teach children.
I am very patient and kind and good at teaching as I have been teaching for 6 years.
I am a people person and have been working with the public for 4 years now and enjoyed all of it.
I have experience planning meetings and projects for and with people.
In my teaching job I have excelled in teaching grammar and sentence structure. I also have taught more basic levels of English like the alphabet, colors, and numbers.

I've taught English in mostly online classrooms for the past 5 years. I have worked with kids from the young age of 3 up to around 15 years old. I am very patient and have a fun personality which has given me a lot of success with young learners. I can understand the difficulty of learning languages, I can sympathize with the students and really see how best they would learn. Before teaching in my own classes, I had tutored children with Special Needs, helping to prepare them for tests, read books, etc. I have a Bachelors degree as well as a TEFL and TESOL certificate. I believe learning should be an enjoyable experience, one where the students will feel comfortable to try new words, phrases, or sentences. I try to have my students view mistakes as a positive, a learning opportunity.

Being a good teacher is about engaging with the students and helping them become enthusiastic about learning new things. I am a patient and driven individual, I believe my calmness under pressure will benefit my workplace environment, if I am ever placed in a difficult situation.
I am excited to be able to teach students, I want to provide them with a safe environment where they are comfortable in practising their English.
Although I do not have tremendous amounts of experience, the experience that I have is valuable and has given me enough to know that I love to teach, and I would do anything in my power to help students improve their English and fall in love with the language at the same time. When I was still at school, I had experience helping young learners in their Maths and Reading skills plus I also taught 11 year olds the negative impact of drugs, alcohol, and smoking. These skills were transferable, and I was able to apply them to my teaching experience in Romania.
With my experience in customer service, I have learned to be adaptable and to cater to individual needs. If my teaching methods are not engaging enough, I will evaluate the situation and change my lesson plan to a different pre-planned activity (it is important to have backups).
My current job and teaching experiences has given me good communication skills and empathy that will help me to relate to the students more and aids me in identifying their needs.

I am a native English speaking person, with a Honours degree and a South African citizen. I completed my TEFL Course in September 2021.
I am motivated and excited to pursue my dream in inspiring and teaching a class of individuals. I currently work with individuals and I lending a helping hand to those in need and assist people in reaching their individual goals. I look forward to creating exciting, engaging and enjoyable lessons to motivate my students and help them to learn effectively. I pride myself on managing my time effectively and efficiently and always aim to complete a task and teach students to the best of my ability.

I am a TEFL certified recent English graduate from Nottingham Trent University with a demonstrated history of experience in childcare and education. Skilled in student mentoring, and working towards proficiency in Korean and German, I aspire to be an ESL teacher and believe my experience learning a second language myself will prove useful in teaching students.

My previous experience includes babysitting children (age 5-12), volunteer teaching in pre-schools (0-5 years) and a special education school (5-18 years). Throughout school and college I also tutored younger students (age 11-12) in English. I am currently working as a host at the National Sea Life Centre, a position that involves educating children and adults about sea creatures and the animals in the aquarium.

My experience mentoring/ teaching students of different ages groups and abilities has allowed me to develop key skills such as patience, creativity and an energetic attitude.

My strengths are that I am very studious. I do not teach a topic that I do not fully understand. I have no experience teaching English as the pandemic stopped me applying for any positions. I do have experience in teaching yoga and exercise. I may teach a small class or a large class and I have to be effective at communicating which is important as participants could injure themselves. I am also an Event Technician which involves setting up festivals and corporate evetns. Deadlines must be met and insrtuctions concise as again people could injure themselves and waste valuable time.This is particulary important as sometimes an event is just about to start.

I believe that my personality is easy going in nature and I am always curious. When conducting an exercise class I only want the participants to have fun and to learn at the same time. I am puntual take my jobs seriously. If need be I am fun, fair and firm depending on the needs of the class.

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.
