ESL Teachers

I have an extensive 4 years of teaching elementary school, middle school, university students and adult students in South Korea.

I have an enthusiastic, approach to teaching and believe in formulating a lesson that meets the demands, and needs of each of my students.

I believe in nurturing and growing the under-performer and I don’t believe in leaving anyone behind.

I enjoy teaching and find it rewarding when kids students achieve their learning outcomes.

I am a very passionate person that gets the most joy seeing students succeed and be successful. I will always give one hundred percent and go the extra mile to make sure the job gets done properly. I am always well prepared and extremely punctual. Most importantly, I place a high value on being exceptionally kind, approachable, and respectful to all of my coworkers and students. I have one year of experience teaching at an academy in Seoul. While I was teaching there, I gained valuable experience working with young elementary students all the way up to third grade middle school students. During my one year at the academy I taught a wide range of subjects that relate to English. I also learned a great deal when it comes to preparing for classes, as daily lesson plans and class preparation were required everyday. The subjects that I taught were reading, grammar, story writing skills, reading comprehension, test taking skills, listening, and phonics. This has given me a good working knowledge of the many different areas of English education. Before I moved to Korea I was working in the field of Education as well. I was employed as a substitute teacher. While I worked as a substitute, I worked with students of different ages and many different subjects. There I learned a lot in classroom management and that students have various learning styles. All in all, I feel that I have very valuable skills. I have no doubt that I would be a really strong asset to any academy that is seeking a well-qualified and experienced teacher.

I am extremely professional, organized, detail-oriented, and passionate about students and teaching. I have worked as a tutor, EFL teacher (ages 4 to 60), ESL teacher, and English Language Arts teacher. I have taught English as a foreign language in South Korea, Spain, and the United States. I have worked with students of all ages from children to adults as well as all different backgrounds.

I work really hard to ensure that all my students learn the best they can. I like having fun in class while also pushing students to work as hard as they can. I set high goals for my students and then do everything I can to help them reach them. At my current job, only my students at the lowest level (learning phonics) are allowed to speak Korean in class. Even classes where other teachers allow them to speak Korean due to their limited English vocabulary, the students only use English in my class. This is because I like to build an environment where learning English is not a chore, but something they enjoy and want to do. I do this by making every lesson as engaging as possible.

I am also a perfectionist. This means that I work very hard to constantly improve myself and my classes. Even when others would stop and say "it's good enough," I keep trying to improve.

I am highly skilled with Google Docs and organizing information. These skills helped me when I was designing and planning curriculum back in the United States. But, it has also served me when helping to develop a debate curriculum for my current Hagwon.

I am a very conscientious individual and take great care in any work given to me. I am an easy going person and am easy to get along with. I believe I have an open personality and I'm open to learning new things. I am reliable and puctual as I would not be late for work and I make a great effort to turn in any work on time.

I am a highly enthusiastic, passionate instructor and I believe that is the best quality in an instructor. I have taught Korean and English in both professionally paid and volunteer positions, creating my own curricula and also working under professors. I am also multilingual with a TESOL certification, meaning that I can relate to students learning a new language and therefore can create a curriculum that is fitting for various situations.

8 Years working with kids from Teaching to coaching

Personality- love to laugh and have fun.

As a recent graduate from the University of Holy Cross with an English Degree, I believe I am an excellent fit for your teaching position. I look forward to the chance to show you how my educational background and other experience have prepared me to make an immediate contribution to your school. During my volunteer work at the Woodland church, I have learned several key skills that will enable me to thrive in this job, particularly my teaching skills by tutoring students at the church. I have also refined my critical thinking and analytical skills, and have learned how to effectively meet deadlines, and work with various types of people to complete projects and tasks. I pride myself on being a fast learner and feel confident that I can quickly acquire any new skills I'll need to succeed in this role

As a teacher and colleague I am an effective communicator, delivering relevant information concisely and ensuring a more logical learning experience. The teaching experience I have had during my TEFL training and within my local church has shown me the importance of remaining adaptable and flexible in a learning environment, ensuring I offer my full attention to the students’ individual needs without becoming flustered or disorganised.

Further, I am an engaging teacher, interacting with students in a patient and empathetic manner, ensuring they have an approachable authority figure to turn to with their concerns. I am passionate about learning, having studied with many inspiring teachers, I understand the benefit of having a teacher who cares deeply about their work. I also understand the value of being organised, devoting time to pre-planning my work which allows for more time devoted to hands-on teaching, as well as for space to teach creatively.

As a person and as a teacher I am mindful of the fact that I will be interacting with students from a diverse age range and range of cultural backgrounds. My ability to be empathetic and understanding, showing respect towards people regardless of their gender, race, sexuality or disability is one of my greatest strengths, as it makes me approachable and gives people confidence in my openness and ability to relate to students. This will help me to be in tune with students’ hopes and fears, helping them towards a more holistic learning experience.
