I have always been passionate about language and culture. Through learning about and experiences other languages and cultures I believe we grow personally and grow closer, both interpersonally and globally. I worked as a Spanish language teacher for many years and absolutely loved it. I always made it a point with my students that we were learning to communicate, meaning both making ourselves understood and understanding others. From music, food, cultural habits, proxemics, idioms, and slang, so much more goes into communication than just the words we use. I would being this same passion and the same cultural-linguistic focus to any classroom to which I'm assigned.
I also have a deep drive and hunger to learn more myself. By living in South Korea it would give me the opportunity to grow and learn and broaden my world view. I always tell my students to never be afraid to try something new, and I live that myself. As a licensed ELL teacher I understand the necessity and benefits of bringing everyone's lived experience into account in order to build a better, more productive learning environment.

Thank you for taking the time to look over my information with regards to any relevant part/full-time teaching positions in Gangnam. I am keen to hear of any opportunities in English Literature with High School level students as I have additional experience in university admissions consultation, which I believe could be invaluable to students looking toward international study.

Having graduated with a First Class degree in English (language & literature) from King's College London in 2020, I went on to work as a teaching assistant in a local secondary school. Here I worked with students with a number of Special Educational Needs and gained experience in teaching small and larger groups of students, as well as 1-2-1 sessions with phonics and literature. I am really eager to find a position which enhances this experience in an international context and would be interested to hear more about positions teaching English Literature and essay writing.

I have a genuine passion for English Literature and was lucky enough to study the subject at degree level in London—in and amongst some of the UK’s most historic educational sites such as The Globe, the British Library and British Museum. In my degree, I loved to examine texts alongside these with other elements of history, the visual arts and science, with particular reference to Romantic era poetry. I’d be delighted to talk at length about the research projects I undertook during my bachelor’s degree and would be sure to communicate my enthusiasm for the subject with students. I have always had an awareness for the importance of education; from elected head girl in my sixth form, I continued to excel academically at KCL. My degree certainly illustrates superior written and oral communication skills, with a particular proficiency for essay writing. Feedback on my dissertation described my ‘strong aptitude for original writing and research’, which culminated an overall First for my degree.

Furthermore, I would be really interested in assisting students with their application for Higher Education. For the last year, I have been working with Cambridge Education Group (who run both ONCAMPUS foundation courses, and online degrees with CEG: Digital), as a Student Recruitment Consultant. Here, I assisted students into gaining admission to online postgraduate degree programmes with The University of Central Lancashire. Providing support for students all over the world, I was able to share my expertise of the UK admissions process to enable their better access to university. Not only was it about providing feedback on personal statements and explaining IELTS examinations and admission processes but also bridging the cultural gap, which has the potential to alienate international students from UK study. It has given me immense acumen in terms of UK admissions and using my unique experience I know I can provide international students valuable insight into UK Higher Education, to help them make the most out of their time in school. I also gained an Assistant Level certificate with the British Council in educational counselling for UK universities, which has provided me with even further insight into the international student journey. Beyond teaching, working with students for admissions consulting and essay advising are certainly within my capabilities, so I would be particularly interested to hear about opportunities with students at high school level.

I am academically and professionally ambitious, with a drive to succeed that motivates those around me. Colleagues would describe me as reliable and most importantly enthusiastic, qualities which certainly enhance my experience in education. Once again, thank you for you consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

I have experience with teaching children and introducing creative teaching methods as I am a founder of a home based after care program where I assist learners aged 9-13 years with their homework and their school assignments. I have learnt to be patient with learners and also become an individual that the children can look up to in terms of hardwork and always delivering the best work. I am confident that I have exceptional written and verbal communication skills, I work well with people as I understand the importance of team work in achieving common goals and I am a critical thinker. I have worked for an NPO for 4years on a part time basis as I was still a student. During this period of time, I learnt to be exceptional at time management and be able to work under pressure. I am currently a volunteer at an online legal business where I translate three South African languages to English. This has given me the opportunity to put my language abilities into use and to constantly learn about the English language.
I have exceptional computer skills, dedication, conflict resolution and confidence. I have a theoretical psychology background and this has given me the ability to easily build relationships in the workplace and with learners. My professional strengths and skills also include adaptability, empathy, listening, and subject matter knowledge.

I have a BA degree in archaeology and anthropology obtained at University of South Africa, ICT certificate obtained at Zazele Foundation and 150 TEFL certificate obtained at TEFL universal. I have work experience outside teaching. I used to work as a part time employee at Dis-chem for a duration of one month, Dec 2018. I worked as a clerk which entailed scanning and documenting products in an orderly fashion making them ready for transportation. I used to volunteer at Zazele Foundation as an admin assistant which entailed dealing with calls from government bodies dealing with ICT program that they were funding, which I benefited from it. This ran from 2014 to 2018 June.

I'm passionate about transferring knowledge and being an ESL teacher means transferring not only learnt knowledge, but skills also and that is what makes me enjoy what I do. In my spare time I like to unwind with music and my taste is very broad, I think that is what makes me fully recharged and ready to tackle another challenge.

My philosophy in life always is to never miss an opportunity to learn and in the day of information age, it is easy to get misinformes thus it is vital to choose your battles.

I am open to traveling and career moves that will fulllfil me personally and my career in the long term. I am willing to relocate should the opportunity arise.
