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.

I am currently working at a secondary school (ages 11-16) in the United Kingdom primarily as a Learning Support Assistant. I also teach a couple of students EAL in one-to-one lessons and have covered some small groups in this subject. From these, I have experience planning my own lessons.
From working with lots of students in different situations, I have quickly adapted to learning how each individual students learns best. I believe this is a good skill to have in order to help students get the most out of their education.
