Asher: Canada: Feb 26, 2024

Although I am a new teacher with no experience, I am currently enrolled in a 120-hour Online TEFL course, 30-hour Young Learners TEFL course, 30-hour Business English TEFL course, and a 120-hour in-person TESOL course in Incheon, South Korea. I believe these courses will help prep me to start teaching in a classroom and get a first-hand experience teaching in Korea. My Incheon course will also have a 3-day teaching camp where I use my skills to practice teaching real children.

Two of my biggest skills is being patient with others. As someone who has informally taught friends and peers a few basics of English grammar, I understand the difficulties in learning a foreign language. I believe this patience developed throughout my own reflection and journey of learning French and currently learning Korean as I took courses in-class for Beginner Korean. This will definitely help me focus on young learners and hopefully let others rely on me as a guiding tool in their English-learning journey.

My second biggest skill and personality trait is my ability to be open, social which allows others to feel comfortable around me. This comforting atmosphere not only allows me to teach freely, but also gives students the faith and comfort to make mistakes, learn and prosper to eventually achieve their language proficiency goals.
