I have previously studied in Seoul at Sungkyunkwan University for two semesters from 2017-2018. After visiting South Korea as a tourist in 2015, I fell in love with the country, its culture, its history, food and lifestyle. During my time at University of Leicester, I have mainly focused on Asian history modules and have gone on to write my dissertation on the Korean War. When I went on to study in Korea, I developed a lot of personal friendships and relationships with Korean people and their kindness and enthusiasm towards welcoming me has confirmed that I would love to live there in long-term and give something back. The best way to do this is in the form of teaching. Koreans have an incredible passion and respect for their education and they are always striving to improve their English speaking skills, often asking me to help assist them in their learning, or things they were struggling with. I am a helpful, kind person by nature and was always happy to oblige. Teaching English would be a really rewarding career, knowing that you are able to assist somebody's development and help them to connect with people across the world. As a native speaker, I am in the privileged position of being able to develop peoples' skills in learning the global language.

I am an outgoing person and believe I would be an excellent teacher when I gain experience in the classroom. I have the energy and enthusiasm to begin teacher career and always strive to develop myself as much as possible.
