I have been teaching English in Madrid, Spain for over 5 years. I have worked with children from age 3-18 and I have also worked at an adult school. I have also been teaching English online to Chinese children for 3 years. I have a very personalized style of teaching as I am able to relate with English learners in knowing how difficult it is to learn a new language. Because I’ve taught all ages, I know how each level learns. I am able to use my skills and experience to create an positive atmosphere that makes English learners comfortable.

I have done a gap year, where I solely focused on improving myself and discovering what I am passionate about and it has been clear that I have a huge interest in helping others to reach their full potential and to walk the journey through with them. Some of the courses I have completed during this time includes a critical thinking course, positive thinking course, time and stress management course and a health and nutrition course. I am sure that I can incorporate the skills I learnt into my teaching career.

I would consider myself to be a positive and uplifting person with a very talkative and loving personality. I have a very high work ethic standard that I hold myself to, so I take pride in completing my tasks before deadlines and to the best of my ability. I take full responsibility for my mistakes and I always look to improve in any area that I fall short in.

I am and have been in a multicultural school, church and university so I am familiar with other cultures and I love to learn from them and to find a common ground where we can interact with one another and reach common goals that we have set. I am excited to emerge myself in the rich culture of Korea and will most certainly participate in activities within my area. I do not consider myself above anyone else and I work very well under the authority of others and I see people in positions of authority as potential mentors that I can consult during my career.

I am an enthusiastic business and marketing graduate, graduating with a 2:1 from the University of Stirling last month. I have experience working as a tour guide at two of Scotlands most well known distilleries, Glenfiddich and Cardhu, taking tours of up to 50 people from all across the world. These experiences have developed my confidence and team working abilities. I am proficient with IT software and Microsoft suite. I love travelling and exploring new places. I am currently enrolled on the 120 hour TEFL.org premium package which I estimate will be completed next week.

I have 7+ years experience working with children to help develop their English language functionally through a range of subjects and topics.

I am a female New Zealand citizen and a native English speaker. I would like to apply for the positions in Seoul with single accomodation I have volunteer experience tutoring and teaching English to kids of all ages and also kids and adult of special needs. My volunteer and internship has provided me with an eye to detail and experience on how to navigate a classroom and my communication skills.
I'm an optimistic and patient individual that enjoys providing learning experience to people with all ages.

With a background in ESOL education at Cobb County Schools in Marietta, Georgia, I believe my skills would be perfect for this position. For three years, I worked as a Family and Community Support facilitator which requires attention to detail, creating study aids, working with students and parents on progress of learning, delegation, lesson planning, working with department heads and following a strict schedule, all of which are required to be a proper educator.
These each make me a well-rounded candidate for the position. I believe my background in theatre also makes me more well rounded because I am able to work with many types of personalities and am prepared for whatever might come my way.
