My strengths are that I am hard working and always put in 110% effort in what ever I do. I like to learn new things and seek teaching advice from others so that I can better myself and further myself as a esl teacher in Korea.

I have a quiet but also diligent personality and likes to get to know people from different backgrounds and countries.

skills: my major is in tourism management, I work in both retail and english tutoring jobs before coming to Korea.

I have lived in several different countries making me well diverse in different cultures. I have a bachelors degree along with a TESLO certificate which included 150 hours of online coarse work and 20 hours of classroom teaching.

I have taught English for four years. I also have taught in Korea before. I am used to the needs and wants of English learners. Through a fun and energetic personality, students can open up and learn well.

My overall teaching experience ranges from small to large English schools in both country and city environments, and, internationally within the private school sector. I feel that my national curriculum and international school background, energy, and, ability to both innovate and inspire would be of great advantage for this position.

I have had a whole range of experience of all KS2 years teaching year 3, 4, 5 and 6, and I have taught with KS1 as a specialist teacher and KS3 years 8 and 9. I believe that the central premise is to ensure both the children and teacher enjoy meeting the challenges that emerge within the classroom.
I ensure that a high standard of education is maintained within my class and teach according to the individual needs of the children. I firmly believe that children learn by "doing" rather than receiving. I believe that both the classroom and whole school environment should be a place where the atmosphere is friendly, relaxed and caring.

I've worked in education for a total of 4 years, approximately 2 years have been in South Korea at hagwans. I've worked with a variety of age groups and currently teach kindergarten and elementary school children. I love being creative when I teach and hope that I can make all my teaching experiences fun as well as provide proper discipline.
