I'm a passionate teacher with over 5 years experience instructing young children age 6-11 in Piano. I love the English language and enjoy reading novels by Dickens in my spare time. I come from an engineering background which gives me a practical approach to teaching, and during my degree I excelled in giving presentations and group work. My work as a sound engineer encompassed many high pressure team based scenarios, often as part of live national broadcasts for the BBC and Sky – so I'm more than capable of handling a fast paced class teaching environment.

Hello! My name is Peace Kanu-Asiegbu. You probably read my first name Akachukwu and shook your head as you tried to pronounce it. Thankfully, there will be no need for that. I go by my middle name Peace which is shorter, universal, comes with its own hand signal, and is a great conversation starter in any country.

I speak three languages (English, Igbo, and Spanish). I can read and understand quite a bit of Italian and Portuguese because of its linguistic similarities to Spanish. My latest quest into languages are Russian and Korean. The Russian is because I have been obsessed with James Bond movies and action movies in general since I was a child. Most of the bad guys spoke Russian so I wanted to learn. My Korean language learning has happened within the past year. I have managed to learn the Hangul alphabet, the grammar rules that pertain to the alphabet, and some basic phrases. Duolingo, Korean television, and learning blogs have played a part in my learning. Basically, I love languages. I have also lived on three different continents so I am accustomed to being immersed in different cultures. One of my favorite places to be is at an international airport.

I am a freelance web designer with ties to the fashion and hotel industries. Although those interests seem to be varied, I can assure you that it allows me the opportunity to converse with people from all walks of life. I worked in the hotel industry for over 4 years. The job allowed me to talk to people from all over the world daily and assist them with their needs. I helped with translation services at 360 Eats, the non-profit organization, where I was a web designer for over a year. I also helped with tutoring language students over the past couple of years, though not in an official capacity.

I know that my experience might not be linear with teaching, but I understand the process of learning multiple languages as a child or at any age. Before I immigrated to the USA at age 10, I lived in Aba, Nigeria. Though English is one of the official languages of my country, I also had to speak my native language of Igbo at home. I remember being corrected by my dad to speak more English at home. I added Spanish to my languages when I moved to the USA. I even got one of my bachelor’s degrees in Spanish. I understand the mindset of students and the process that it takes for everyone to learn a foreign language. I also understand that everyone learns differently. I believe that I am perfectly positioned to make a difference as an English teacher in Seoul.

I like to have fun and believe that everyone should have the opportunity to live their best lives. I know that learning English, in addition to knowing another language sets people up for success. I look as languages as a superpower. I am excited to be a small part in someone’s learning journey.

Good day,

As I am applying to your school, I am also learning basic Korean. It would be an honour to be a part of your institution and provide service to students of English.

I am a young professional seeking a career change. I have worked as a freelance architect for 5 years with my Bachelor degree. I have almost completed 2 master degrees, one in Architecture and one in Global Smart City Management. I seek a change now, towards engaging with people more directly and compassionately.

Before this, I did many jobs which I enjoyed, such as waiter, barista, salesman, and deliveryman. I also worked in start-up for a number of different SME companies. I have much experience in service and operations. As my career unfolded, I found many interesting friendships and mentors along the way.

I am compassionate, caring and respectful. I am fun and enthusiastic, and easy to talk with. I am hard working and always calm in all situations. If you hire me as a teacher, you will open the door for me. I will surely repay the favour by opening the door for your students with the skill of the English language!

Thank you for the opportunity. Good luck!

Kind regards,

Mo
