I am a very encouraging, patient, and creative person which is why I feel like I would be very suited to an English Teacher role. I decided to train to be a teacher as I want to do something worthwhile and share my enthusiasm for learning. I am also very calm and positive so in stressful situations or fast-paced environments I can stay focused. I have experience in both Secondary and Primary education as during my PGCE course I have been on placements in two secondary schools where I taught a range of students with varying abilities. I have also had a primary experience day where primary school children came to the university and I taught them lessons and I have taught primary school children French for six weeks. I have also had experience working in a college as a Learning Support Worker where I assisted students with learning or behavioural difficulties in various subjects such as Games Design, Art, English, Mathematics and Music. I have been a tutor in the past where I tutored GCSE and A level students in English Literature to help them pass their exams and coursework.

I have excellent communication skills as I have a degree in English Literature. I would love to share my excitement for language with children and help them become excellent communicators and open up opportunities for them. I also achieved a distinction award in my Art Foundation degree so I have various artistic skills. I love to incorporate visual language into my lessons to help to meet the students' various learning styles.

I have an undergraduate degree from Durham University and a Masters degree from the University of Oxford, both in English. I am certified with TEFL's 120-hour course, and have taught EFL previously in Hong Kong for two months over the summer, as well as working for seven months as an English teaching assistant in France. In both instances I planned and delivered my own lessons to classes of 14-16-year-old students. I have tutored for over 100-hours online through the platform MyTutor, my reviews for which can be seen here: www.mytutor.co.uk/tutors/330940/. Having studied for a year abroad at the University of Hong Kong I'm excited at the prospect of living in South Korea, learning more about the culture and sharing my own language and culture with the students.

I’m an enthusiastic 23 year old Graduate that enjoys teaching immensely. I’ve had 3+ years in teaching experience (both volunteering and full time/ part time jobs). I have a love for teaching and have chosen to do it as a life long career from a young age! I can work with various age groups and I am very flexible in every way possible! I am excited and eager to venture into learning about ESL teaching and applying all my skills to this job!

I have taught TEFL in China and Korea.
In China I had a chance to teach TEFL at all levels of age.
My experiences included teaching at a university, in children's training centres, and private tutoring. I have worked at a temporary position in Korea for a friend's academy during my University's summer and winter holidays for a few weeks at a time in 2019 and 2020.
I have also worked as a martial arts teacher to children and adults.

My personality is fairly high energy as long as I can keep moving.
I have more of a technical personality than someone who enjoys planning.
What I mean is that I enjoy following the plans that others have written and maybe modifying it to the class's needs and my personality.

I have background in accent modification with standard American English because of the class I took in college.
I know how to use most programs such as word,outlook,etc.
I can be assertive and try to practice empathy to other's needs.
My talent includes sports, martial arts, and teaching martial arts. I have practiced this since I was a teenager.
I keep things professional at work and expect to excel in what I do to look for more class hours and projects my superior may have.

I enjoy nature and exercise. If there is somewhere I can go in nature or to the ocean to swim I would be quiet, happy and calm.

I am a young lady looking for an opportunity to impress with my great work ethic, and I want to help people, and help students to learn. Although I have no formal teaching experience, I do have experience working with children as I worked in a nursery as part of my health and social diploma. I also was a dance instructor during high school and I am now currently part of the training team at my current job. I am a fun, polite individual who wants to teach and also learn from my students too. I can be very serious when it is needed. Even though I lack formal teaching I think with my experience and capability to pick up things quickly I am confident I can make a great teacher.
