I view myself as a tactical optimist with proficient interpersonal and team cooperation skills. Enthused to grasp on-the-job knowledge to master new competencies.

Whether my job was in sales, software, or hospitality, my roles often required me to pivot between business needs. I stayed engaged by continuously training in new materials and assisting in training my colleagues. I enjoy learning and trying new experiences. It is a pleasure to share these things with the people around me.

I have 8 years teaching from elementary to high school. Teaching ESl, business English, a levels, ielts, toefl

My TEFL course taught me the essential skills to start my journey as a teacher. I do not have much experience teaching English as a foreign language.

I have however been involved in teaching:
I taught two girls, a 6-year-old and a 9-year-old, how to play chess. I learned a lot about how to make lessons fun and engaging, through mini games, how to encourage and motivate every small success. Chess has a lot of rules and depth much like a language, and it can be overwhelming and challenging. I realized the importance of breaking down material to its simplest form.

I am a Christian, I have a calm and soothing personality, and I usually build a connection with kids fast, after they get over the initial fear because of my height, and deep voice. I enjoy helping kids learn and grow, and to empathize with them to solve problems from their perspective. I like to get involved and support my fellow staff. I do not mind being involved in school activities, as I see it as a part of education.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in Journalism and Media Studies, complemented by Politics and International Relations. My academic background has equipped me with strong communication skills and a global perspective, making me well-suited for teaching English in South Korea. Professional experience as a marketing assistant and retail assistant demonstrates my proficiency in conveying ideas and interpersonal skills, reinforcing my candidacy for the role.
