ESL Teachers

I believe in giving back to the world and I find this as an opportunity to make a difference, and work with people from other parts of the world to nurture others and change the lives of students. I want to enhance and leverage a career in teaching and hone other relevant skills as well. My dream is to get and have more hands on experiences, where I can be well adept at teaching, bringing in solutions and innovative ideas into the world,experience new ideas, from other places and people from different backgrounds

I have always loved learning and have always wanted to teach. I enjoyed studying for a Law degree and for the Legal Practice Course where I obtained a distinction. During my education, I have found that education is an important factor in helping to achieve social justice and I am very much interested in helping students to learn in a positive and supportive environment; I feel that this will be beneficial for them and will help to lay the foundations for a successful life, academically, professionally and socially by helping to make them more well informed and engaged members of society.

At GCSE and A – Level, I enjoyed helping other students and would often encourage them to complete their work and to revise for examinations. I achieved two A’s and a B at A-Level and was mentioned in the local newspaper and the college prospectus. I would like the opportunity to inspire young people, to teach them to love learning and to develop a positive attitude that will help them to overcome the fear of failure, for example in my first year at college I sat one of the modules for an exam early and was awarded a C grade by the end of the year I had achieved almost all A grades. I really want to encourage students from all backgrounds to ‘never give up,’ as my father always encouraged me to do.

During my first term at university, I volunteered one day a week at the Redbridge Refugee Forum and became aware of the challenges that refugee families face not just with acquiring a new language but with obtaining food, adequate shelter and other financial support which could have an adverse impact on their education. My volunteering experience reminded me of the difficulties that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds faced when learning and helped me to observe the importance of managing class time efficiently to make sure each student was provided with support in the classroom and to tailor the provision of information to accommodate different learning styles to different young people where possible.

I have worked as a Switchboard Operator and Receptionist during the day and night shifts at two hotels and have learnt to successfully work with people from different backgrounds and this has helped me to develop excellent communication skills. I have worked as a Commercial Litigation Paralegal and as a Business Support Officer, for the Children’s Social Services department, in the youth centre and office, as a result, I have resolved to provide young people with the same great educational experience I was given.

I am a CELTA and TEFL certified ESL/EAP teacher from the UK with over six years of experience. I am currently teaching at Canvard College University of Business and Technology in Beijing, China, and will finish my contract by teaching at the University of Plymouth, UK.

My current employment contract ends on September 5th, and after my visa documents are processed, I will be looking to come to Korea. 

During my career, I have lived and worked in four different countries, including two years in Korea. My skills include vast experience with lesson planning, creation of exciting and in-depth lessons for all ages and abilities, confidence and enthusiasm, an open and likeable personality, and a true interest in Korea and Korean culture.


My current role of Pre-Sessional Academic English Tutor at Canvard University of Business and Technology in China, (and later, University of Plymouth in the UK) has allowed me to refine my skills as an English instructor to a more professional level. Teaching in a university environment has been an extremely rewarding job with its own unique challenges that I have enjoyed every second of.

 With my experience, confidence, certification, creativity and enthusiastic personality, I know for a fact that I can actively contribute to the reputation of any school.

Hello! I am a very bright, bubbly and lovable girl. I have a plethora of experience working with international students and have a little experience teaching mainly elementary grade students from church and also in a real classroom. I have created short lesson plans and have managed to create a fun, safe learning environment as well as having control over classroom management. I have lived in South Korea for a few months as an exchange student in Korea University so I have already become a bit used to South Korea and have a love for South Korea.

My name is Tifffany Nguyen. I graduated from Newman University with a degree in Psychology. I am bilingual in English and Vietnamese. The experiences of working with students and the interest in Korea's cultures have motivated and challenged me to apply for teaching English in Korea.

In high school, I joined Korean Fan Dance club to help at fundraising events for local churches and perform at the annual Asian Festival. Practicing with Hanbok, I was amazed and became curious about the Korean culture, food, and history. Throughout the years, I participated in Big Brother Big Sister program to assist middle school students with homework and after school's activities. In the summer of 2013 to 2015, I worked as a Tutor Counselor for Upward Bound Wichita Preparation program at Wichita State University to provide support and guidance for high school students preparing for college. Since 2016, I became a Vietnamese instructor to help elementary students at church improve and practice the Vietnamese language. The excitement of seeing them learn motivates me to teach better. I enjoy working with children and hope to have an opportunity to contribute my passion as an English teacher in Korea.

I have been working with children and teaching children specifically since i was 15. I participated at a performing arts school in Australia and taught 4 classes varying in different age groups. It was a family friend of mine who ran the school hint as to why i was able to teach there so young. I developed skills of communication, confidence, ways to handle tough situations and developing skills on how to read the students i was teaching and the best way to go about helping them understand. During those years i also participated in volunteer work at a Disabled children's school in japan whilst i was living over there last year. I have a very welcoming and bright personality which helps when working with children as they can often feel intimated or scared to participate in activities.

I am a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual who possesses many skills which are required to work as a part of a team and under my own initiative. A combination of my experience of previously working in Kidzania and the teaching aspect of nursing motivated me to pursue a career in teaching. Working as a nurse has provided me with clear, effective communication and interpersonal skills. These experiences have provided me with valuable skills. I am able to captivate and engage with individuals to provide them with fun learning experiences. I wish to share my knowledge with students, motivate and provide positive learning experiences to help students reach their academic goals.

I believe as a teacher who openly welcomes students and accepts their cultural differences can help with an easier acceptance by the school environment. I believe that when a student feels valued, he/she is more apt to assimilate into the English-speaking culture, to make friends easier and increase opportunities to use English. Students who engage in more conversation and activities with native-born English speakers, acquire English skills quicker which help to boost their skills more.

I understand the individual needs of my students. It is helpful to assess the student’s language proficiency and educational history in doing so the design of the classroom lessons can then be individualized to focus on each student’s functional English level in the areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing. This ongoing student assessment helps me as a teacher obtain current functional levels so lessons can be targeted towards maximum growth.

I am a caring teacher, I feel that the key component of being a successful teacher is to love your kids with all your heart as long as you do that the rest will fall into place with time.

I am an empathetic teacher, I think back to when I was a kid or teenager. Everything that happened in my life felt HUGE. If I failed a big test, it seemed like my future was basically over. These dramatic thoughts are happening in your students’ heads and impacting how they feel during class. So i try and connect with them on an emotional level which then helps the students to feel more comfortable in practicing and perfecting their English. They become more attentive in class.

I am enthusiastic as well as creative, I believe a lesson should be fun as well as educational. Especially with younger students, if you have a fun lesson plan they are more captivated and tend to listen more attentively in class.

My experience as a teacher, I had taught English for 2 years to primary school students (mostly grade 1 and 2) whilst I was in high school. After that I had taught swimming to students of various ages for 2 and a half years. Even though it might be different aspects I believe that teaching swimming is much the same as teaching English, the process you go about are similar as you are required to make the student feel comfortable with what they are doing.

I am currently studying my Level 5 TEFL Certification.

I graduated from Purdue University in May 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology Honors, with minors in Spanish and Human Rights studies. I have done online English tutoring for an adult student in Afghanistan who was at an elementary level, and I have done in-person tutoring in Spanish for local high school students from Spanish-speaking regions who were struggling due to lack of understanding of English. Additionally, I worked as a Youth Development Intern last summer in which I helped facilitate programming focused on conflict resolution, communication, and team building. I am also completing the 120-hour combined classroom and online TEFL course through TEFL.org.

I am skilled at language acquisition: I can speak proficiently in Spanish and at a beginner level in Mandarin and Korean. I have proven my exceptional intercultural intelligence and communication skills on many occasions including summer study abroad experiences in Spain and Singapore, personal solo travel across East Asia, and tests such as the Intercultural Development Inventory (in which I am in the Adaption category, the highest on the spectrum, meaning I can adapt my perspective and behavior to better understand and communicate with people of diverse personalities and backgrounds).

I am passionate about East Asian and Korean culture and have done several anthropological projects focusing on this area: my undergraduate honors thesis was on the feminist movement and media representation of women in South Korea, and I have studied the Korean language through several different extracurricular activities (an informal class, an online class, a phone app, a podcast, television shows). Though my research thus far has focused primarily on South Korea, I am also very interested in the issue of reunification and the social, economic, and political climate of North Korea and have done a fair amount of personal reading in these areas.

I am organized, motivated, resourceful, open-minded, and a fast learner, and I work very well in groups or individually. My holistic and well-rounded liberal arts education in Anthropology gives me a unique, people-oriented outlook on problem-solving and strategic thinking. Finally, I have an unquenchable thirst for traveling and trying new things, and as a highly adaptable person I am very open to change and new experiences.
