ESL Teachers

I am a fun, loving and charismatic individual. I have a passion for teaching as well as learning new things. I am in love with history and find much interest in learning about new cultures and their languages. I am a university graduate with majors in English, History and Sociology and I am currently completing my 300hr TEFL Diploma. I am a huge peoples person and love interacting with students. I believe that students are the future and that they should be taught by those that indulge in the joys of teaching. I consider myself to be extremely organised and rather observational. I am a problem solver and take initiative. I believe that any and all tasks should be done to the best of ones ability, thus, instilling that notion into my every day life.

I feel that I am a passionately realistic educator who strives to see not only the world, but the classroom through glasses tinted in optimism and compassion.

I have 10+ years of experience in several different industries that have benefitted me with many desirable skills. In addition, I have one year of experience in Chinese classrooms Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) to children at the primary, middle school, high school and university levels. I am currently finishing a two-year term with Chungdahm Institute at a branch in Songpa-gu, Seoul.

It is very important to me that each student in my classroom is reached – no matter their English proficiency. Children have great value in this world and are worth the investment we should choose to make in them. Children can come from the most ornate and wealthy homes or they can come hungry and from nothing. No child chooses their starting point or their economic situation. With this consideration, I feel it is a tremendous exercise of skill and compassion when a teacher can consistently connect and effectively educate the most-advanced student in class, the least-advanced student and every student in-between. This is a skill I have been successful with as well as completely humbled by. Thankfully, I can look in the mirror more days than not and say that this is a skill I am consistently flexing and succeeding with. As with any skill or strength, it is important to always try to improve it any way possible too. And, I work to achieve constant improvement in this endeavor. 

During my undergraduate degree, I had the opportunity to study abroad twice in South Korea. In turn, this has developed my personality and identity greatly to become a charismatic and inter-personally skilled individual. I always strive to push myself out with my comfort zone and this has enabled me to mould and adapt to new surroundings and possess cultural sensitivity. On top of this, I speak intermediate Korean as I undertook Korean classes during my exchange.

During my study abroad at the University of Seoul, I worked part-time as an English Teacher to university students weekly. My strengths lied within my organisation skills and attention to detail as I created my own lesson plans and materials each week for a class size of 10+ Korean students. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching conversational English and adapting my teaching style to Korean culture which stresses the importance of collectivism. Therefore, I encouraged everyone to work in pairs and groups to create discussions and boost their confidence.

I have gained my 120-Hour TEFL Certificate which included online courses and an in-person teaching component.

My personality radiates approachability, friendliness and warmth – which I believe is extremely important within the classroom and working with children.

Because I grew up in Seattle, Washington, I speak English at a native level. I have experience teaching at Huntington Learning Center in Bothell, Washington.

I am a detail-oriented problem solver! I also enjoy working in teams, but am also generally self-sufficient.

I am a recently qualified TEFL teacher (I gained my qualification through The TEFL Org), finishing in October 2020. Despite my little in-person teaching experience, I am ready to become fully immersed into the world of TEFL. I taught conversational English to non-British people in my local area in 2018, and in January of this year I began teaching English online. I have wanted to move to South Korea for a while now yet due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I have been unable to. However, I am ready and willing to start the journey and I cannot wait for the possibility of teaching. I would say that I am a very warm, sociable and friendly person who thrives on being around people. What I am equally looking forward to, however, is the cultural exchange; my endeavour to learn Korean gradually is one step towards this! My History degree equipped me well with confidence, the ability to communicate, and being easily adaptable. My open-mindedness and willingness for hard work will no doubt aid me in my attempt to really succeed in a school, and I cannot wait for the opportunity to show this.

I am CELTA certified and have experience teaching pre- and upper-intermediate multilingual classes of students, tailoring lessons according to research and analysis of student need, employing original and authentic texts, and creating activities targeting receptive and productive skills and language systems.
I have a very friendly, professional, and approachable personality that helps a lot when teaching. I also love children and interacting with them, which is why I have always had a passion for teaching. Through this, I am excellent at working and collaborating with others.
In terms of skills, I have advanced reading, writing, and editing comprehension, strong time management and adaptability skills, and the ability to develop teaching resources. Overall, I have a strong desire to teach and learn.

I have my bachelors degree from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire in education. My degree is to teach grades 1-8 and have a minor in social studies. I have received my psychology certificate from Northcentral Technical College. I recently completed my 168 hour TEFL certification in February 2021.

This is my sixth year as a full time teacher. I have worked full time in the same school during those years. Throughout my time at this school I have taught first, fourth, and fifth grade. I have taught fourth and fifth grade two years each. For five of those years I have also been the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade social studies teacher. The past two years I have been overseeing our intervention reading program for students throughout the school in various grades. I have participated in creating many programs and activities for the school for the children to participate in. I worked with a co-teacher to run a STEM club after school, helped with a volleyball and basketball club, created and ran the schools student council, and created and taught the four week summer school program for the school; which included educational and physical activities/learning.

I am especially interested in social studies and teaching students about different cultures and people from around the world. This interest has led me to enjoy traveling and wanting to pursue this venture of teaching English as a foreign language in another country. I would be able to help others learn a valuable language, but also experience a new place and culture.
