I have years of teaching experience, guiding the classroom and students with my friendly and approachable demeanor. I create a welcoming atmosphere where students feel comfortable expressing themselves. Patience and understanding is my strength, ensuring that every student feels supported and encouraged.
I like to simplify complex concepts, making them accessible to learners of all levels. I use creative lesson plans to keep classes lively and engaging, fostering a genuine enthusiasm for learning.
I have 120+ hours of TEFL/TESOL Certificate.
I am looking forward to learning more about this opportunity!

Academically, I hold a first-class degree in International Business from the University of Central Lancashire, providing me with a robust foundation in company strategy, global dynamics, and intercultural communication. Additionally, my ongoing master's program in innovation and entrepreneurship equips me with a diverse skill set that I am eager to bring to Korean schools. I am confident that my academic background will facilitate successful English language instruction, fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity among my students.

My desire to enhance cross-cultural communication skills and cultivate resilience through international living motivates my pursuit of this opportunity in South Korea. Moreover, I am enthusiastic about the prospect of working with students of all ages, anticipating a dynamic and fulfilling teaching experience. By nurturing fluency in English, I aim to forge deep connections with my students, bolster their self-esteem, and instil a passion for learning. I am deeply aligned with Korea's commitment to education and lifelong learning, and I am eager to contribute to its educational landscape by empowering students to embrace diversity, pursue their aspirations, and become conscientious global citizens.

I'm a TEFL Certified Teacher from the United Kingdom. I've had three months of teaching experience and spent two years leading activities for children of all ages and backgrounds. I'm great communicating, paying attention to detail, and finding the fun in any situation.

I have previously taught music technology at Reepham Primary School and currently teach and train marketing technology at Copper Leaf Media. I have a BA in Sound and Music Production and a 140-hour TEFL certification. I'm also skilled in problem-solving, creative design, and am always eager to learn.

I have a great affinity for Korean culture, the food, rich history and the language. I'm ready to take on new teaching opportunities in Seoul with enthusiasm.

I am currently a private tutor for both maths and history. I have worked with students aged 7-16 ranging in ability. I am experienced in guiding students through multiple curriculums from SATS to GCSE. I am skilled in using creative teaching aids, including online aids such as ‘Kahoot!’ and ‘Google Classroom’, with a belief that creative and immersive tasks are highly beneficial for students’ development. Most importantly, I have always striven to ensure that I create safe and secure learning environments for my students, through being patient and empathetic with students’ needs. These are environments where students’ feel confident to express ideas and unlock their full academic potential.

Having previously relocated during the pandemic and lived in Hong Kong for a year (2021-2022), I am a resilient and adaptable traveller. I studied East Asian Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong whilst thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself in the local culture, beauty, and lifestyle of my new environment. Your school’s objective: ‘to instill in children the ability to think, act, and dream in English’ is an exciting one that resonates with my own teaching ethos, and I believe my adaptable personality and openminded approach to teaching would suit your schools. I would love the opportunity to provide some of my transferable tutoring skills, (as detailed above and on my CV attached), to your exciting project and welcome the challenge of transitioning from a tutoring context to a classroom context.

I have obtained my TEFL level 5 diploma, with notable strengths in lesson planning and resource creation for all four language skills, as well as learning a variety of teaching techniques (especially for teaching vocabulary and grammar).
