I assisted my college professor with teaching her ESL class. I am self-motivating and passionate about teaching and all things I pursue. My skills include extensive knowledge of the English grammar, I possess management skills from my current job, and have good problem solving skills. I pride myself on going above and beyond for my work and always strive to better myself.

I currently have no experience in teaching but am an highly driven individual who has recently completed a financial degree apprenticeship in England and wanting a new challenge and the opportunity to provide experiences to children in Korea. A place that has fascinated me for a very long time.

I am an experienced ESL professional with over three years teaching in China behind me. Communication with non-english speakers is natural to me, and I have had the chance to polish the skill through regular interraction with clients and children of a versatile range of ages and backgrounds. I have further honed adaptability in an academic setting through additional roles such as demo teacher, admissions assessor, talent show host, and private tutor. Aiding local teachers in their correspondance with parents shows that I am a dedicated team-player and strive towards building positive relationships with clients and colleagues.
I consider myself to be someone who enjoys learning and encouraging others to learn. I love exploring new cultures and gaining an appreciative understanding of my host country. Bridging cultural differences is a hugely rewarding experience. Within the classroom, I am enthusiastic, energetic and promote learning through fun. “Laugh, learn, live,” is a motto that encapsulates my approach to teaching that I hope will resonate with my students-past and future.

My passion, adaptability and patience are key skills I possess that strengthen my ability to teach. I’m deeply passionate about teaching and always eager to help students reach their full potential. Additionally, my ability to adapt to different learning styles allows me to connect with each student and adjust my approach to meet their needs. Patience is another key element to my teaching style, as I believe in giving students the time and support they need to succeed. In congruence with these key skills and my experience in tutoring and training, I’ve developed a knack for explaining concepts clearly and creating a positive, encouraging environment.

With four years of TEFL experience in China and a strong foundation in business communications, I am eager to bring my experience in lesson planning, student engagement, and technology integration to your institution. My background in digital marketing and communications also allows me to teach English for professional and business contexts, preparing students for success in the global workforce.

During my tenure at Maple Leaf International School, Hailiang Foreign Language School, and other institutions in China, I worked mostly with primary students (grades 1-5), developing learning environments that improved students’ confidence in speaking, listening, reading, and writing English. My experience spans international schools, boarding schools, and after-school training centers, allowing me to adapt to different educational settings.

Key qualifications that make me a strong candidate for this role include:

• TEFL Certification: Level 3 Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (120-Hour TEFL) from The TEFL Academy.
• Teaching Experience: Four years teaching EFL across China, specializing in young learners and structured English programs.
• Lesson Planning: Designed and followed through on lesson plans tailored to student needs, following textbooks such as Oxford and incorporating my own resources to improve language learning.
• Cultural Adaptability: Excelled in international teaching environments, fostering meaningful connections with students and colleagues.
• Business Communication: With a B.Sc. in Communications, I bring additional value in preparing students for professional English applications.
