A strength I have been able to identify as a developing teacher is the ability to put myself in the shoes of the students. As someone who learned English for the very first time at the age of 11 and as someone who is currently learning Korean, I would say I have an idea about some things language learners struggle with. As a learner, I know that oftentimes I tend to memorize the structure of a particular grammar to help me understand, but sometimes when the same grammar is being used in a different context, it can confound me. At Literacy Pittsburgh, I have suggested ideas that uses new vocabulary terms in various context so students can truly grasp the meaning.

Another strength I have is classroom management. Teaching a class of 15-20 students can get rowdy especially when every student is passionate and eager to participate. At Literacy Pittsburgh, I co-teach with the main teacher and when it is my turn, she often helps in classroom management. However, recently, I had to teach the entire classroom independently without the main teacher present. Having observed how the main teacher handles disruption, I was able to put those skills into practice and have a successful two hour lesson on my own.

I'm very resourceful, hard-working, creative and a patient. I have 2 and half years working experience with teaching young Korean students from Kindergarten to Middle school. My work experience has taught me a lot about the profession, and to my delight I have loved every bit of it. I believe I am competent enough to manage and teach young children and possess the patience and enthusiasm for the job.

I am a dedicated teacher who wants the best for my students. I have worked with children from the age of infants to high school freshmen. My last full-time position was as a high school English 1 teacher. I have completed my intern year and am a licensed teacher in Texas. Also, I recently received my level 5 TEFL certificate from the TEFL academy.

I would describe my personality as hard-working, committed and professional. I strive to be the best version of myself daily. In my free-time I enjoy traveling, watching movies, and hanging out with friends and family.

I have good organisational ability and can adapt to living in foreign countries quickly and efficiently as I have been moving around since early childhood.
And I have good skills in connecting with people at an individual level making me fit for tutoring jobs.

As well as being a native English speaker with a notable eloquence and broad vocabulary, I have also completed the majority of a 120 hour TEFL course. I have several years teaching/training experience from jobs I had before university, as well as the part time job I had during university. I am patient and calm-mannered, but I am also fun and confident and will bring an element of excitement to the classroom through games and humour. Being a graduate of management at the university of St. Andrews, I also hope to teach elements of business to some of the older students who may be interested, and so can offer additional knowledge on top of the English language. Furthermore, I hope to use my hobbies as a way to inspire learning, for example using football, of which I am a Tottenham Hotspurs supporter, and in particular Son Heung Min could be an excellent way to engage students and encourage conversational English.
