ESL Teachers

Fluent and Native in Korean with strong communication skills
Educated in the United States including high school and university
Proven abilities in facilitating group activities and emphasizing critical learning

I consider myself to be friendly, warm and patient. I feel my biggest strength is my ability to sympathise and acquire an understanding with my students, therefore providing them with a learning environment that they find fun, safe and engaging. I believe that my patience and understanding are very important when teaching English. I know it is crucial to remember that a student learning a second language will make many mistakes and that this is part of the learning process. With a patient and a positive attitude, I try to breed confidence within a student, allowing them to feel comfortable in trying to use a second language regardless of making mistakes.

My strengths are that I am hard working and always put in 110% effort in what ever I do. I like to learn new things and seek teaching advice from others so that I can better myself and further myself as a esl teacher in Korea.

I have a quiet but also diligent personality and likes to get to know people from different backgrounds and countries.

skills: my major is in tourism management, I work in both retail and english tutoring jobs before coming to Korea.

I have lived in several different countries making me well diverse in different cultures. I have a bachelors degree along with a TESLO certificate which included 150 hours of online coarse work and 20 hours of classroom teaching.

I have taught English for four years. I also have taught in Korea before. I am used to the needs and wants of English learners. Through a fun and energetic personality, students can open up and learn well.

My overall teaching experience ranges from small to large English schools in both country and city environments, and, internationally within the private school sector. I feel that my national curriculum and international school background, energy, and, ability to both innovate and inspire would be of great advantage for this position.

I have had a whole range of experience of all KS2 years teaching year 3, 4, 5 and 6, and I have taught with KS1 as a specialist teacher and KS3 years 8 and 9. I believe that the central premise is to ensure both the children and teacher enjoy meeting the challenges that emerge within the classroom.
I ensure that a high standard of education is maintained within my class and teach according to the individual needs of the children. I firmly believe that children learn by "doing" rather than receiving. I believe that both the classroom and whole school environment should be a place where the atmosphere is friendly, relaxed and caring.

I've worked in education for a total of 4 years, approximately 2 years have been in South Korea at hagwans. I've worked with a variety of age groups and currently teach kindergarten and elementary school children. I love being creative when I teach and hope that I can make all my teaching experiences fun as well as provide proper discipline.

During undergrad years, had modest experience tutoring fellow college students organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, literature, animal biology and animal biology lab
My years in customer service have allowed me to tolerate several types of people

I am a British Native Speaker who, after having come back from spending 6 months in South Korea au pairing for a Korean family, I became interested in returning and teaching. It will help me gain experience for the PhD I wish to complete in the future, in order to become an Educational Psychologist as well as my desire to deliver the passion and enthusiasm I have for working with children.

I have some experience in assisting in classroom environments (with children and adults), however have not had extensive teaching experience, apart from teaching children aged 3-8 yrs old, in a church setting for 7 years.

I have been described as warm, friendly and fair, which I think are traits needed for jobs involving children for them to feel comfortable and inspired to learn and have fun at the same time!

I grew to enjoy my time in Seoul, that I would like to return and teach English in this city is possible. I support the ethos The English School and would love to be part of it. I hope you would consider me.

At the moment I work with kids at the department store that I work at, which involves me interacting with a variety of clientele from all over the world. Towards the end of highschool I worked as a private tutor for ESOL Students (English as a Second Language) , which involved me not only teaching them the material but making sure they understood it in their new language. Being an ESOL tutor meant I had to explain things in more that one way to help the student learn the meaning for themselves.

Personality wise, I would consider myself quite easy going, in the sense that I do not get frustrated or angry easily and do not mind sudden changes. I am friendly and love teaching people new things, I am also creative, enthusiastic and always looking for new experiences. Finally, I also have a strong work ethic so I take pride in what I do and always try to achieve the best.

Due to my experience with working in a variety of different environments, e.g. schools, hospitals and shops, I am friendly and approachable person, with an ability to effectively communicate with others and excellent listening skills. I am a fast learner with an eye for detail, who is also great at adapting to new situations and circumstances. I have a TEFL teaching certificate, so I am familiar with a variety of teaching techniques and strategies.
