I have a strong background in communication and working directly with diverse groups of people. Through my roles with organisations supporting refugees and survivors of trafficking, I gained experience engaging with individuals from many cultural backgrounds and communicating information clearly and sensitively. I have also organised large-scale events, managed forums and written professional communications for a wide range of audiences, which has strengthened both my written and verbal English skills. These communications include social media, open letters and speeches for events.

Personality-wise, I’m friendly, curious and adaptable. I have a very positive demeanour, and I enjoy creating open, collaborative environments where people feel included. Within the context of my work running refugee drop-in sessions, my personality helped create an environment where people felt comfortable participating, asking questions and seeking guidance.

In terms of skills, I bring strong organisation, clear communication and attention to detail, as well as the ability to explain ideas in an accessible way. I’m also currently completing a 120-hour TEFL course to establish my English teaching skills.

I have a bachelor's in Ecology from the University of Georgia, and a TEFL certificate from The TEFL Academy. I have all my documents ready including apostilled background check, diploma, and passport. I'm very excited about the opportunity to teach English in Korea.

I have a background in accounting, but I do also have some experience teaching. I was a graduate teaching assistant at New Mexico Highlands University for one year, where I was grading students' assignments and holding office hours once a week. Later on, I worked at the Athens Georgia YMCA for 2.5 years as a lifeguard, and also teaching swimming lessons to children ages 6-12 and adults. I believe I'm a naturally good teacher. Since I'm a naturally inquisitive person and I love to learn new things, my teaching philosophy is to try to tap into students' natural curiosity and get them excited about the learning process.

I am a friendly and open-minded person, and I do well in a team dynamic. The reason I'm interested in a hagwon job is that I've heard it's a good place to start one's teaching career. I would prefer to teach primary, but am open to teaching some kindergarten classes if the job requires it.

I recently completed a Level 5 TEFL certification and enjoy helping students gain confidence using English. I have experience working with children through tutoring and youth programs, which helped me develop patience and strong communication skills. I am energetic, positive, and dependable, and I enjoy creating a classroom environment where students feel comfortable speaking and participating. I always try to make lessons engaging so students stay interested and motivated to learn.

I hold a TEFL certification, I will graduate this year with a university degree, and have international study experience gained through studying abroad as part of my academic program. My background has provided me with a strong foundation in language learning, cross-cultural communication, and effective teaching practices, and I am now seeking the opportunity to apply these skills in a professional teaching environment as an English teacher.

I bring a strong understanding of effective EFL teaching practices for all levels of learners, with a particular focus on student-centered, interactive instruction. My teaching approach emphasizes clear structure, active participation, and positive classroom management to ensure students remain engaged, motivated, and confident when using English.

I am recognized for my patience, leadership, and ability to create dynamic lessons that support different learning styles and language levels. I am also highly organized and experienced in planning and managing multiple lesson objectives, allowing me to adapt smoothly between different classes, grades, and proficiency levels while maintaining consistency and quality.

My academic background, combined with international experience, has strengthened my ability to communicate clearly, adapt to diverse learners, and foster an encouraging learning environment where children feel supported and motivated to succeed.

I have experience providing social services support, customer service, and administrative assistance in fast-paced public service environments. My work includes responding to complex and sensitive inquiries, assisting individuals with service requests and complaints, and helping connect community members with appropriate social service programs and resources. I maintain organized resource files and service records, manage and monitor customer data across multiple computer systems, and support staff and management with presentations, graphics, and other administrative tasks.

In addition, I have experience handling operational and financial responsibilities such as supervising business openings and closings, updating department pricing, processing product returns and customer refunds, managing cash handling tasks, and assisting with pharmacy service operations when needed. I am proficient in Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Outlook, and Canva, and I bring strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving abilities to my work. I am a hardworking and dependable individual who is highly motivated to learn new skills, grow professionally, and contribute positively to any team or organization I am part of.
