Growing up, teachers didn’t understand that I had difficulty reading. This experience taught me that each student can be successful, but might need more attention and a personalized approach. Being a teacher allows me to help children overcome these learning struggles with an inspired passion. A passion for Teaching
The ability to nurture, guide and mentor your students
The ability to transfer your knowledge in a manner that all of your students can understand
The ability to create a classroom environment in which all of your students feel safe and can excel

I have a 9 months teaching experience, it has been an amazing 9 months of my life and challenging at the same time.

This past year I graduated with three degrees in English, International Studies, and Japanese Studies. All three of these degrees have enhanced my skill set in a way that would greatly benefit an ESL instructor. My English degree honed my understanding of the English language, my International Studies degree nurtured an appreciation for and desire to learn more about cultures outside of my own, and my Japanese Studies degree gave me a first hand grasp on what it means to be a student of a second language. Ultimately, my studies provided me with both the tools and the empathy necessary to be an ESL instructor abroad.

Beyond my educational background, I also have spent the past year as an English instructor to children aged 6-11. I teach several courses ranging from Elementary English to Speechwriting and Storytelling. Since my lessons are remote, I am able to give lessons to students outside of the country including one student I teach who is from Malaysia. These experiences as an instructor have given invaluable insight into what it means to be an English instructor, as well as what it means to be an English instructor for students who come from countries where English is not the primary language.

In my free time I enjoy traveling. One of my favorite travel experiences was to South Korea. I was lucky enough to spend a summer abroad in South Korea while taking courses at Yonsei University. I managed to spend some time traveling around the country and enjoyed the experience immensely. This trip also has prepared me for the next time I am in the country, in respect to cultural differences and possible struggles as a foreigner staying in Korea.

I have previous experience teaching English to students of a wide age range in Moscow. I have also taught several students online. Currently, I am completing my 188 hour TEFL course with the aim to have this completed by the end of July.

I am a very driven person and love a new challenge. I've always been inquisitive and love to inspire others to pursue their passion. I take work very seriously as I like to be the best I can be in a role but I also cherish the importance of personal time. It is important to me to build close relationships with people and to get the most put of life; be it having fun, experiencing something new or learning a new skill.

Personally, I have a rather eclectic set of skills. I have a gift for languages, having a degree in German, Italian, and Russian, which I feel would be a useful asset as a teacher myself. I also have 8 years experience in hospitality, which has allowed me to hone my social skills, improve on public speaking, and allowed by confidence to soar. My experience working in sales has allowed me to read the subtleties in people and how to connect with them. On a more creative now, over the past few years I have taught myself to crochet – a skill I use frequently to relax and take time for myself.

I have experience coaching, mentoring and teaching in school and education environment. I therefore have knowledge of curriculum-based learning and understanding of setting personalised learning targets. Further experience includes:
• Experience of behaviour management and boundary setting
• 1:1 Tutoring English and maths to KS1/primary school age children
• Mentoring and skills coaching young children and adults with Autism and additional learning needs aged between 5-25
• Working with managers and varied range of professionals in educational, corporate and therapeutic capacities
• Knowledge and understanding of play therapy and creative learning methods
• Experience of designing fun and engaging lesson plans with clearly defined learning objectives and outcomes
• Experience of marking work, setting goals, correcting errors in CVs and coursework
• Experience of tailoring teaching and support to different levels and ages of learners, compassion and patience from working with children and vulnerable people
• Confident working independently and in group/team settings. Familiar with public speaking and highly organised. Very good at planning, mapping out ideas and managing own time. I am personable and enjoy meeting new people to share experiences, network and learn
• Embrace challenges and always in search of new personal development opportunities

Diligent and conscientious individual, seeking a new challenge.
Possess over 6 years’ worth of experience across a variety of disciplines including production management, customer service, and team building within diverse industries.
Proficient in planning, coordinating, and executing successful production strategies. A team-minded individual with the ability to collaborate well with senior stakeholders and effectively prioritize tasks, due to a patient disposition.

I am a friendly, energetic BA graduate who is passionate about teaching and education.

I began my teaching career in China (2018), where I taught learners aged 0 to 14 years old. During my time, I have gained a unique patience and understanding for my students, and developed the ability to teach them creatively according to their needs and learning abilities. I possess a TEFL certificate, in addition to the teaching experience I have gained.

I am invested in touching lives and opening minds through education, and I hope to be a valuable team member in a workplace committed to investing in the academic, social and emotional development of the future generation.

I have been an ESL teacher in South Korea for the last 4 years. I have taught Kindergarten to Middle school students. I taught a wide range of English from basic phonics to advanced TOEFL and debate classes. My key strengths are motivational, fun and engaging lessons, organisational perfection and adaptability of living and working in a different country. I want to be remembered by all students as a motivator who has helped my students reach their goals and potentials.

I have experience tutoring online, I'm a recent pgce graduate, have not yet gotten a teaching job, only taught 1 month for my practicals. I am fun loving, firm and open minded person.
