I am extremely professional, organized, detail-oriented, and passionate about students and teaching. I have worked as a tutor, EFL teacher (ages 4 to 60), ESL teacher, and English Language Arts teacher. I have taught English as a foreign language in South Korea, Spain, and the United States. I have worked with students of all ages from children to adults as well as all different backgrounds.

I work really hard to ensure that all my students learn the best they can. I like having fun in class while also pushing students to work as hard as they can. I set high goals for my students and then do everything I can to help them reach them. At my current job, only my students at the lowest level (learning phonics) are allowed to speak Korean in class. Even classes where other teachers allow them to speak Korean due to their limited English vocabulary, the students only use English in my class. This is because I like to build an environment where learning English is not a chore, but something they enjoy and want to do. I do this by making every lesson as engaging as possible.

I am also a perfectionist. This means that I work very hard to constantly improve myself and my classes. Even when others would stop and say "it's good enough," I keep trying to improve.

I am highly skilled with Google Docs and organizing information. These skills helped me when I was designing and planning curriculum back in the United States. But, it has also served me when helping to develop a debate curriculum for my current Hagwon.

I am a very conscientious individual and take great care in any work given to me. I am an easy going person and am easy to get along with. I believe I have an open personality and I'm open to learning new things. I am reliable and puctual as I would not be late for work and I make a great effort to turn in any work on time.

I am applying for the position of full-time English teacher. I am currently a working in Korea finishing up my first full year of teaching at the moment. I have worked at my university in japan, as an exchange student, helping to teach English. I have also interned at an English school in japan for a few weeks. I have worked at multiple daycares in the past not only tending to the children but also the facility in itself helping to build an astatically pleasing atmosphere for everyone.

I am a highly enthusiastic, passionate instructor and I believe that is the best quality in an instructor. I have taught Korean and English in both professionally paid and volunteer positions, creating my own curricula and also working under professors. I am also multilingual with a TESOL certification, meaning that I can relate to students learning a new language and therefore can create a curriculum that is fitting for various situations.
