I have esl exp. in China three times.My co-teachers and students enjoyed and anticipated my lectures.My interpersonal experiences shared and received well.Having traveled extensively in Asia gives me an insight into family dynamics that enhance my acceptability.I love the respect offered to the family and the elderly and share that value.My vocabulary and grammer leave little room for misunderstanding.

I am a reliable, friendly individual who is outgoing and hard working with good time management, communication and organisational skills. I am able to act on my own initiative or work well as part of a team as I am able to build a good rapport with others. I throughly enjoy taking opportunities and new experiences when they present themselves and I like to face challenges head-on with a positive attitude. I have ICT skills with Apple iWork and Microsoft Office.

During my final year of high school, I trained through CCEA (Council for the Curriculum, Examinations & Assessment) to become a Reading Partner to mentor younger pupils (aged 11-12) in their reading & English skills. In my final year of university, I was a StAR (Student Academic Representative) for the English department.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing and listening to music. I collect vinyl records and early editions of novels. I have a keen interest in history, psychology and mythology as well as learning to understand other languages and cultures by reading books in another language and listening to foreign music. I also enjoy travelling, going for walks with my dogs, spin classes and dance cardio workouts to keep healthy and spending time outdoors when I am not working and studying.

I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature with Drama and Theatre Studies in July 2018 and my TEFL course in December 2018.

I am an ESL teacher with one year of teaching experience at a hagwon in Busan. I am very personable and get along with everyone very well. I am also a very quick learner, and have always excelled in both education and work environments. I am organized and punctual, and will always act in a professional and efficient manner when it comes to my job.

At my previous hagwon, I had many responsibilities including teaching, lesson planning, and creating and grading tests. I worked with many other teachers to provide an ideal learning experience for the many students at our school.

I can provide a letter of recommendation from my previous employer upon request.

I have a passion for teaching English and have taught English in my native South Africa for more than three years. I really find that teaching language not only bonds people together by creating a bridge of communication between them, but is also a necessity if wishing to express yourself clearly and share your ideas and philosophies with those around you. The world is slowly becoming a global village and the more languages a child can master, the easier it will be for him or her to find and make his or her place in the world. Passing along the gift of the English language to children brings me great joy, as well as witnessing the pleasure they get when mastering the new skill and being able to express themselves accurately and sincerely.
With my background in psychology I naturally get along with people and can handle a number of challenging situations. I enjoy a challenge and exploring new opportunities. I am, however, a very organised person who works well within a structured environment. I excel at administrative tasks, record keeping and planning. This way I am always prepared for the task both at hand and ahead.
