Since I can remember, I have been teaching my mother and family members English as it is not their first language, which continued to others I have met during my lifetime. People find it comfortable asking me to help them with their pronunciation and teaching them the meanings of words when they ask. They appreciated me being patient and understanding, and no judgement passed on them. I volunteered to teach art at the BIY Summer School programme for young people aged 10-25 who came from disadvantaged areas in London. The core group I taught were aged 12 -16. The students enjoyed the sessions, and they came up with very creative and fun artwork even though at the beginning they were sceptical. Some were even afraid to draw because they thought they were not good enough to make art. But watching them gain confidence and seeing them grow week by week was priceless. I enjoyed working with the kids on this programme. I learnt a lot about myself during this experience. I carried out a plan from start to finish and executed it. I learned how to time-manage and command a classroom with the addition of being patient, empathetic and my fondness for young children would make me a perfect candidate as an EFL teacher. The skills I picked up can easily be transferred to teaching English, and I can also bring creativity, fun and positivity to the class.

I currently hold a Masters Degree and received a 168-hour Level 5 TEFL Certificate from the TEFL Academy (with 20-hour classroom teaching practice) in 2020. I have three years teaching experience and currently working as an online ESL Teacher.

In my private time I enjoy tutoring children in my neighbourhood. In 2019, I worked for an international airline, where I’ve gained extensive international travel experience and worked with people from all cultures and continents. I can therefore easily adapt to new environments.

I have a vibrant personality and describe myself as a hard-working, professional and responsible individual. I love teaching and have the patience and skills to teach English as a second language. In my free time I enjoy the outdoors, travelling and meeting new people.

I am a hard worker, and I never give up on any task that I'm assigned. I am also someone who is open to continuous feedback with respect to my work, as I value it as a process of growing as an individual. I am an extremely good listener and team player, I am willing to work with anyone and accomplish any team tasks. I was a Grade R educator in 2020, and I worked with learners between the ages of 5 to 6. I loved working with my young learners, and many of them had additional language barriers at the time.

I am also an individual who likes to learn, this year I had taken a degree honours course in Inclusive Education and in 2019 a business principles and practices course. I believe in furthering my skills and interests in every field that can assist my skill set in the classroom environment or personal life.

My passion has always been about helping others, and I can not think of a better way than to help young or old learners achieve their dreams through education.

As an English graduate, I have the necessary skills needed to become an effective teacher. I believe that the modules covered in my English course prepared me to teach and communicate at the individual level.For instance, through clear and concise communication from my course lecturers in the Stylistic module, I was able to become competent and confident in interpreting, analysing and exploring meanings of linguistic features. Additionally, learning the basics of linguistic structure and function of a text has opened my eyes about the importance of not just teaching but making sure students truly understand the basics of a subject. As a teacher I aim to take my students on a journey of mastering the language and making sure no student is left behind. My teaching style will be one that instils confidence in students and empowers them to succeed.

I'm a private tutor and tutor students of different learning abilities. The ages of children I tutor varies, from Primary School children to Secondary and sometimes those in Sixth Form.
I'm patient and tolerant, enthusiastic, great communicator, meticulous, problem solver and Analytical. I can speak three languages, I'm very friendly and bubbly, my friends call me smiley because I smile constantly.

I'm a confident Kinder-Elementary teacher working online with nearly a year experience. I love my job and am truly passionate about working with children. I am enthusiastic and engaging in my lessons, building rapport with my students which helps me personalise my lessons to them.

I am caring and eager to create a safe learning environment where students don't feel pressure or ashamed to be wrong sometimes, being able to learn from mistakes. Enjoying lessons is always a good thing as my student will want to learn and pay better attention in my classes.

I have experience volunteering & teaching ages 6-11 years old, to which I taught sports & gymnastics. I am a patient, enthusiastic and organised teacher. I create a fun and encouraging teaching environment so that my students feel comfortable and safe to make mistakes and learn from them. I am enthusiastic to learn along-side my students, as I look forward to growing as a teacher with the abundance of experience I would receive from teaching in Korea.
I enjoy any kind of learning experience and welcome my teaching techniques to be challenged and changed in order to better fit my students journeys.

I am a friendly person who works well in a team. I adapt well to my environment and always keen to learn new skills. I am passionate and hardworking, an excellent communicator and active listener.

I am an extremely compassionate and inquisitive individual with an instinctive capability for building meaningful relationships with people. Adaptability is one of my most critical skills. I learn the best through hands-on practical experience and I believe that in an ever changing world, it is truly my most crucial asset.

My strong interpersonal & communication skills allows for effective verbal and non-verbal communication which aids in my ability to work collaboratively as part of a team. I am poised under pressure, because of my meticulous ability to pay attention to detail. I consider myself a natural leader with exceptional organizational skills and the ability to see people for who they are, as individuals, to ensure a common goals are reached.

I look forward to embarking this journey and hope you consider my application.
