Since completing my Master’s degree, I have pursued opportunities to teach English as a foreign language. Not only am I committed to inspiring students and maximising individual performance, I aspire to work within a team and advance my teaching skills.
Last year, I completed a CELTA qualification, achieving a Pass-B grade. The programme was both challenging and rewarding, and I have included and adapted the teaching techniques that I learnt in my lesson plans. I always use different methods in my classes in order to motivate children and introduce them to new experiences within the classroom.
In my most recent position as an English teacher at a Hagwon in Gwanggyo, I am dedicated to helping students acknowledge and reach their full potential whilst sharing my subject knowledge in innovative and inspiring ways. It is a pleasure to witness students develop their skills within the English language. Part of my role involves planning diverse and exciting material for lessons. This helps the children to learn conversational skills while they enjoy learning a foreign language.
As an English teacher in Thailand, I developed a curriculum for children aged between three and twelve years old. It was my first time teaching outside of the UK, and it cemented my decision to encourage a love of language in children in foreign countries. In my carefully and creatively planned lessons, I simplified complicated terminology for younger and less confident students, helping to increase their confidence when speaking English.
The skills I have gained at Goldsmiths College are also transferable to this role. The experience provided a valuable opportunity to deliver original ideas and produce excellent written material, which demonstrates my proficiency in the English language. I recognise the importance of self-motivation and self-management in order to maintain a professional demeanour and strong work ethic.
