I'm currently in Busan, South Korea and have been working at a POLY institute since February 2021. I want to experience a new work environment with elementary and middle school level. I can quickly obtain a great relationship with my students. I'm eager to work and have great time management so I will always meet deadlines with any duties I must complete.

While my experiences are not in the classroom, I gained some valuable skills. While working with adults with learning difficulties, I often had to teach and explain social skills without seeming patronising or like I was ‘talking down’. I sometimes performed activities outside the scope of my duties (e.g. I would often bake with groups of service users) and had to recognise who had skills suited to different individual tasks.
When creating educational materials for another job, the information was often in very technical terms which I had to present in a way that was appealing and could be understood. Also, as the materials would be distributed worldwide, I had to think in terms of creating a variety of materials to cater for different degrees of literacy, as well as present the information clearly without seeming overly simplistic.

I have a BA in Sociology With Counselling Skills from University of Essex. I completed my education in UK, though I have taken some university-level classes in USA (no degree).

I am learning Korean and am at a very basic level. I also have conversational skills in Japanese. I have computer skills in both windows and linux. I have skills in Adobe Suite and Microsoft Office Suite. I am comfortable with computers and quickly adapt to new software. I work well in groups and enjoy supporting others, and am equally comfortable working alone. I enjoy exposing myself to new cultures and adapt quickly to unfamiliar situations

As an adept Social Media Manager, I have a well-rounded skill set in group and individual instruction and honed talents in tutoring and classroom management, making me an ideal fit for the Teacher position. Further, I am a recognized expert in time-management and a communicative collaborator. My previous roles have strengthened my capabilities in communication and leadership, including a keen attention to detail and accuracy. Along with that I've had experience in teaching small grouped classes working as an intern at a non-for profit program called rock to the future, where i created lesson plans not only for myself but also for my fellow employers and ran daily music classes to kids ages 6-17 from all over the city of Philadelphia.

I have a real desire to improve the lives of others by teaching English. I look forward to creating exciting and engaging lessons to motivate my students and help them to learn effectively.
I am Dedicated and well-rounded individual with 4+ years’ experience tutoring English at WizIQ learning academy. I have obtained my bachelors degree from the University of Johannesburg with subjects including Communications, Anthropology, English and Applied film.
