Although I have spent most of my life in South Korea, I left the country at a young age, and I studied in the United States of America for more than eight years. I am confident that I am capable of teaching English fluently at a Korean-English academy.

I already have three years of teaching experience in South Korea at an academy called “GE,” in Ilsan and “Sehan” in Daechi, where I was in charge of all of their upper-level literature and writing classes. Undoubtedly, both parents and students showed great affection and respect for me because of my passionate yet meticulous style of teaching. I dedicated immense amounts of time preparing for my classes, and everyone was able to hear my loud voice resonating across the entire building. Furthermore, I have always treated my students with sincerity so that they do not feel uncomfortable around me at all. I have always carefully prepared all of their daily, weekly, and monthly assignments.

Additionally, I am capable of producing my own R&D for literature courses as I have extensive knowledge about many books for all different AR-Levels. A lot of my students were particularly satisfied with my literature classes as I dedicated a lot of time covering all of the symbolism and metaphor hidden in the book. Moreover, although I had to reject their offer regrettably due to military service, after I graduated from Columbia College Chicago, I had an opportunity to enroll in their Master's Program for Creative Writing along with 50% of scholarship, given straight from the University, so my expertise in writing is equally great to my understanding of literature. Therefore, despite my lack of experience teaching English in Korea, I still have full confidence in my ability to teach at your academy.

To conclude, I am willing to work with passion and dedicate my life to improving the students and the academy I will be working for. If you could provide me an opportunity where I can demonstrate my passion and experience in teaching, then I promise that I will not disappoint you easily.

P.S. I have a bunch of materialies I made personally throughout my teaching careers for literature (and a little bit for writing as well) and if you wishes to see them, please let me know, I will email it to you.

I was able to learn the advantages of various educational systems while working in different educational institutions such as alternative schools, international schools, and language academies. All of these experiences are being applied to help students learn more efficiently in the future. I prefer assisting fellow teachers when they are facing challenging situations. Additionally, I have a basic knowledge of computer programming and can utilize AI for material creation.
