ESL Teachers

I am naturally an outgoing person who enjoys being in the company of other people. This skill and the ability to communicate effectively were further sharpened whilst I was doing the TEFL course at the University of the Witwatersrand language school, where we had 120 hours of practical experience teaching adult students.

I am a person who is bubbly but also assertive and enjoys connecting with others. I have a natural and easy affinity towards creating engaging with people and being able to learn from them, as they do me. One thing that I am proud to have learned whilst doing the TELF course, was creating learning environments where students felt a strong confidence to speak in a way that provided learning for all those involved – myself included. I think teaching is not just about talking at students, especially in a language class. Teaching is about creating a space where students can naturally use the tools and lessons from the classroom, in a more natural way. I was fortunate enough to learn this skill through the TEFL course.

Part of the skills that I have learned and implemented during the practical teaching was how to make learning communicative and relatable to the students and also how to effectively manage a classroom. This is especially important when working with adults who may view an authority figure in the classroom differently to younger students. The ability to create a motivation for students to want to learn – be it intrinsic or external was something that I also learned.

To be a teacher is not just to be a person who gives information to students. But to be a teacher is also to be a person that allows students to open up and be receptive to acquiring knowledge in a way that is more suitable to the demographic in the classroom and also to create an environment where peer learning and discussions can naturally occur. I believe that my outgoing, friendly and easy flowing personality allows for such an environment, while still obtaining respect and professional boundaries.

I'm a freelance writer who lives and works in Philadelphia. I have several years of experience tutoring children and teens in English, and I've written for various online and print magazines. I'm enthusiastic about English, and I'm looking forward to teaching it in Seoul.

Hi,

I would say that my strengths are; communication, adapting to different cultures, creativity and my friendly personality.

I have a bachelors degree in Communications. Through schooling and work experience I have been able to effectively communicate with my peers. I have travelled and lived in European countries where I did not understand the language and had to effectively communicate my needs. Through traveling I have learned to easily adapt to the different cultures and embrace the differences.
I love being creative and thinking out of the box. I am a people’s person and love interacting with kids and adults.

I believe that all the above attributes would assist me in having a positive experience in South Korea.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts (Political Economy) from the University of Sydney (Australia), and a Graduate Diploma of Information Technology from Charles Sturt University (Australia) where I received the Executive Dean’s Award for Academic Excellence. I’ve recently completed a TEFL 220 hour Masters Certification from the International TEFL and TESOL Training (ITTT) centre. This also included a 50-hour Teaching Business English course and a 50-hour Teaching English to Young Learners course.

I began my professional career as a Film Journalist, writing for Australia’s only print film magazine, FilmInk. I wrote film reviews and articles, and conducted interviews with prominent international filmmakers. One of the highlights of the job was getting the opportunity to attend the 2015 Berlin Film Festival as a member of the press. Following this, I worked for four-and-a-half years in television at Viacom (MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central) where I began as an Operational Project Manager, and later moved into managing information technology projects in the Sydney office. Part of my role here was to educate and train all new members of staff on a key software system and operational procedures.

Working in Information Technology bought me across the world to Belgium, where I completed a sixteen-month contract as an Analyst for a software company in Brussels. Among my responsibilities here, I was tasked with gathering software requirements and training users on new software functionality, both in-person and online. As previously mentioned, I am currently working in Finland as a Husky Safari guide. One of my roles here is to give customers an entertaining twenty-minute presentation on our operations and a general husky history.

To every role I take, I bring my greatest strength – my ability to build rapport with almost anyone! I find people really interesting and love to find out more about them, their interests and their motivations. This is really important when teaching English, as everyone has different learning styles, personalities and motivations. I’m passionate about the English language and believe my experience and education has equipped me with the necessary skills to provide an outstanding English education to your students in Korea.

Currently I am working towards my TEFL course as teaching English abroad has always been something that I have been keen on so I am excited to be working towards the certificate.

In 2016 I went to Montoro, Córdoba for 1 week with the university to help teach English to younger kids and help them learn all about Scotland as well. This was a such a great experience as it showed the teaching way and it was great interacting with everyone involved and helping the kids with basic English by doing lots of different activity’s and fun games to keep them interested and easier learning. Last year I worked as a representative for Thomas Cook which were a travel company before going bust in 2019, I got learn lots about the destination I was in and the Spanish culture where I lived for 6 months. Doing welcome meetings every morning for the guests and chatting and interacting with them everyday of their holiday. This was an amazing opportunity as it was such a boost in my confidence by speaking to crowds and with people of all different cultures and having fun as well in the hotels activities.

I attended the University of the Highlands and Islands.Gaining my BA (Hons) in History and Politics on the 30th July 2018, achieving upper second class honours. I then acquired my Mlitt in History the following year, achieving a passing grade. At university I completed modules that focus on British politics, culture and history such as the ‘British identities’ module. This will enable me to instill a sense of culture into my lessons.

During my undergraduate and masters I have worked mainly in kitchens, such as at the Dornoch Patisserie and Jurys Inn. At these jobs I have become skilled at working as part of a team in a busy, often hectic enviroment. I was also responsible for the training of new staff at both of these businesses which helped me realize how much I enjoyed teaching.

This has made it my goal to acquire a teaching position. To this end I completed a 140-hour TEFL.org course. This included, video observation, teaching large classes, Telephone Teaching Course, Methodology and Grammar modules. This has given me a strong introduction to teaching English, which I hope to expand upon in acquiring employment as an English teacher.
