Hello! I am a very bright, bubbly and lovable girl. I have a plethora of experience working with international students and have a little experience teaching mainly elementary grade students from church and also in a real classroom. I have created short lesson plans and have managed to create a fun, safe learning environment as well as having control over classroom management. I have lived in South Korea for a few months as an exchange student in Korea University so I have already become a bit used to South Korea and have a love for South Korea.

My name is Tifffany Nguyen. I graduated from Newman University with a degree in Psychology. I am bilingual in English and Vietnamese. The experiences of working with students and the interest in Korea's cultures have motivated and challenged me to apply for teaching English in Korea.

In high school, I joined Korean Fan Dance club to help at fundraising events for local churches and perform at the annual Asian Festival. Practicing with Hanbok, I was amazed and became curious about the Korean culture, food, and history. Throughout the years, I participated in Big Brother Big Sister program to assist middle school students with homework and after school's activities. In the summer of 2013 to 2015, I worked as a Tutor Counselor for Upward Bound Wichita Preparation program at Wichita State University to provide support and guidance for high school students preparing for college. Since 2016, I became a Vietnamese instructor to help elementary students at church improve and practice the Vietnamese language. The excitement of seeing them learn motivates me to teach better. I enjoy working with children and hope to have an opportunity to contribute my passion as an English teacher in Korea.

I have been working with children and teaching children specifically since i was 15. I participated at a performing arts school in Australia and taught 4 classes varying in different age groups. It was a family friend of mine who ran the school hint as to why i was able to teach there so young. I developed skills of communication, confidence, ways to handle tough situations and developing skills on how to read the students i was teaching and the best way to go about helping them understand. During those years i also participated in volunteer work at a Disabled children's school in japan whilst i was living over there last year. I have a very welcoming and bright personality which helps when working with children as they can often feel intimated or scared to participate in activities.

I am a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual who possesses many skills which are required to work as a part of a team and under my own initiative. A combination of my experience of previously working in Kidzania and the teaching aspect of nursing motivated me to pursue a career in teaching. Working as a nurse has provided me with clear, effective communication and interpersonal skills. These experiences have provided me with valuable skills. I am able to captivate and engage with individuals to provide them with fun learning experiences. I wish to share my knowledge with students, motivate and provide positive learning experiences to help students reach their academic goals.

I believe as a teacher who openly welcomes students and accepts their cultural differences can help with an easier acceptance by the school environment. I believe that when a student feels valued, he/she is more apt to assimilate into the English-speaking culture, to make friends easier and increase opportunities to use English. Students who engage in more conversation and activities with native-born English speakers, acquire English skills quicker which help to boost their skills more.

I understand the individual needs of my students. It is helpful to assess the student’s language proficiency and educational history in doing so the design of the classroom lessons can then be individualized to focus on each student’s functional English level in the areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing. This ongoing student assessment helps me as a teacher obtain current functional levels so lessons can be targeted towards maximum growth.

I am a caring teacher, I feel that the key component of being a successful teacher is to love your kids with all your heart as long as you do that the rest will fall into place with time.

I am an empathetic teacher, I think back to when I was a kid or teenager. Everything that happened in my life felt HUGE. If I failed a big test, it seemed like my future was basically over. These dramatic thoughts are happening in your students’ heads and impacting how they feel during class. So i try and connect with them on an emotional level which then helps the students to feel more comfortable in practicing and perfecting their English. They become more attentive in class.

I am enthusiastic as well as creative, I believe a lesson should be fun as well as educational. Especially with younger students, if you have a fun lesson plan they are more captivated and tend to listen more attentively in class.

My experience as a teacher, I had taught English for 2 years to primary school students (mostly grade 1 and 2) whilst I was in high school. After that I had taught swimming to students of various ages for 2 and a half years. Even though it might be different aspects I believe that teaching swimming is much the same as teaching English, the process you go about are similar as you are required to make the student feel comfortable with what they are doing.

I am currently studying my Level 5 TEFL Certification.
