I am very outgoing person who is passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of young learners. I am friendly, organized, and hard working which I believe will translate well to the classroom.

I have 10 hours of in class placement completed as part of my University level Educational Psychology course.

Experience:

– Activity Programmer at a summer camp in the USA for children and adults with special needs (2023-2024)

Personality:
I am a bubbly, cheerful and kind person. My favourite thing is to support others and help them to learn.

Skills:
– Communication: expressing complex ideas simply to clients and families
– Planning, assessing, leading and adapting activities and patient education
– Engagement: keeping children focused and excited while teaching them arts and crafts and new activities

I am a highly motivated and punctual person who brings a positive energy to my work. I also have experience helping children learn via tutoring experience for my neighbors. I believe these experiences and personality traits make me a great candidate for this position.

I have three + years' experience teaching English in South Korea, specifically in Daegu. I've worked for two different hagwon, as well as a year-and-a-half at Yeong Jin College.

My teaching style can best be described as positive and energetic. I find it best for students to be engaged during class; this typically results in more class participation by my students. Creating enthusiasm about English, I find, makes for a more enriched learning experience.

I speak clearly and with a moderate pace, allowing students to keep up and understand everything. I have strong grammar skills that can also help in my classrooms.

I am open to different teaching styles, if a school has a specific style in mind. I am open-minded and patient with my students, allowing them to advance at their own pace.

Although I am older than many of your applicants, I believe my maturity and experience would be an asset to any school.

I did not know I wanted to be a teacher until I graduated high school. When I realized my talent for teaching, I enrolled in Kennesaw State University and majored in English. I became even more passionate about language, writing and literature through my college career. To gain valuable classroom experience, I began working as a substitute teacher, teaching all grades from pre-school to high school seniors. During this time, one of the elementary schools I worked at most often asked me to join their staff as a language paraprofessional. My time as a paraprofessional educator honed my skills with young learners and taught me how to forge connections with students while also maintaining a professional and disciplined stance as a teacher. I now have a total of four years of classroom experience, including one year in teaching a foreign language. I believe my passion for education and organized personality makes me a great fit to become an English teacher.
