I have extensive experience in teaching, tutoring, and research, with a strong foundation in English/Language Arts education and a passion for fostering inclusive learning environments. My background includes private tutoring for ELL learners, where I focused on enhancing reading, grammar, and comprehension skills while helping students connect their learning to current events. As a summer school teacher and substitute teacher, I worked with high school students to improve their critical thinking and writing abilities through group discussions, debates, and creative assignments. I also developed differentiated lesson plans to ensure that English instruction was accessible, meaningful, and enjoyable for learners with diverse needs.

I am deeply committed to fostering critical thinking and social justice through my teaching. My goal is to create positive, supportive environments where every student feels valued and where their unique strengths are celebrated. I aim to inspire students to find their voice through writing and to connect with literature in ways that resonate with their experiences. Building strong, trusting relationships with students is central to my approach. By creating a sense of belonging and mutual respect, I help students feel confident, motivated, and ready to take risks in their learning.

I strive to help students grow both academically and personally by promoting a positive attitude toward learning and setting meaningful goals. My lessons are designed to be relevant and engaging, fostering critical thinking and collaboration. I aim to equip students with the skills and confidence they need to succeed not only in the classroom but also in their future endeavors.

By nurturing a love for learning and a sense of purpose, I support students in taking ownership of their education and developing resilience and independence. My goal is to create an environment where every student feels valued and motivated to reach their full potential.

I have been teaching for about 3 years in total in various countries and at home in UK i feel I can use my knowledge to improve koreas speaking ability and further my knowledge also about the culture in korea. My skills are useful and effective i can put fun into the lessons aswell as hard studying to make sure students get the best from each minute.

I have visited over 30 countries in the last 6 years.
One of my favorited experiences was volunteering during the summer of 2019 at an English Cafe in Daejon, South Korea. Since then, I knew that one day I would come back for a more immersive experience teaching English.

I am a graduate with an upper division second class honors in History and Politics and a wealth of relevant experience volunteering as a Teaching Assistant. I am looking to further develop my career as a teacher. I have obtained many transferable skills working in a variety of roles. My relevant experience includes the following highlights:

• Classroom management experience while working as a Teaching Assistant for Playbox Theatre.
• Working flexibly to meet business needs whilst producing high-quality administrative work in fast-paced, high-pressure environments.
• Excellent experience organising workloads.
• Scheduling and aligning calendars to meet changing expectations of the organisation.
• Communicating clearly to resolve a high volume of customer queries.

I have worked in various administration roles while volunteering in my free time. In 2019, I obtained some teaching experience at Playbox Theatre volunteering as a Teaching Assistant. I observed and reviewed lessons and I learned what is expected of a teacher and how to be an effective, engaging, and encouraging educator. Since then, I have completed the Outward-Bound Skills for Life award and the National Citizens Service award and I have been successful in securing classroom experience at a private school in the United Kingdom, which is due to commence in the coming weeks.

I am highly organised, and hardworking and I can present new content and activities clearly. While completing my TEFL qualification, I created lessons for a variety of levels from pre-intermediate to advanced, and learned how to convey difficult grammar rules simply. As part of the course, I created materials and resources and accessed other materials online. I have excellent subject knowledge, and I am passionate about the English language. I believe that my experience and qualifications will ensure that I can improve students' language acquisition and put all that I learned while completing my TEFL qualification into a practical application.

I have a desire to learn and travel. I am dedicated to being a teacher and I am excited to immerse myself in another culture. I will be sure to demonstrate that I am a constant professional and that I approach lesson planning rigorously with a keen eye for detail.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my application.

I have a very outgoing and eager personality with a calm demeanor; I am timely, dependable, and always willing to go the extra mile. I am coming up on my second year in a career in the education field. I have spent the first half of it as a substitute teacher and the latter half working for my city's after-school community service programs. These opportunities have afforded me skills in classroom management and upkeep, disciplinary actions, adaptability, patience, mentoring, conflict resolution, and time management. I am also set to graduate with a degree in liberal arts with a concentration in English this upcoming spring.
