ESL Teachers

My MBTI is INTJ. I tend to lean towards planning and strategizing my next moves. This has helped me in lesson planning in the past. If there are any weak points, I try to learn and adapt to improve myself. I've lived in 30 years and in Korea for 5 years. My time in both countries have allowed me to connect with people of different cultures and perspectives.

Although I am a new teacher with no experience, I am currently enrolled in a 120-hour Online TEFL course, 30-hour Young Learners TEFL course, 30-hour Business English TEFL course, and a 120-hour in-person TESOL course in Incheon, South Korea. I believe these courses will help prep me to start teaching in a classroom and get a first-hand experience teaching in Korea. My Incheon course will also have a 3-day teaching camp where I use my skills to practice teaching real children.

Two of my biggest skills is being patient with others. As someone who has informally taught friends and peers a few basics of English grammar, I understand the difficulties in learning a foreign language. I believe this patience developed throughout my own reflection and journey of learning French and currently learning Korean as I took courses in-class for Beginner Korean. This will definitely help me focus on young learners and hopefully let others rely on me as a guiding tool in their English-learning journey.

My second biggest skill and personality trait is my ability to be open, social which allows others to feel comfortable around me. This comforting atmosphere not only allows me to teach freely, but also gives students the faith and comfort to make mistakes, learn and prosper to eventually achieve their language proficiency goals.

Hello, I am a Seattle resident who would like to work as an English teacher in South Korea. I believe I am a suitable candidate for this position because I have a passion for teaching as well as the necessary qualifications listed for the position. In terms of my educational and professional background, I have a B.A. degree in English Language & Literature from the University of Washington Seattle campus, as well as a TEFL certificate from the International TEFL Academy. In June of 2022 I completed a 1 year contract teaching high school English in a place called Székesfehérvár, this is a small Hungarian city not far from Budapest. During the year that I taught overseas I gained an increased level of patience. I grew as a leader and learned to use strategies when dealing with difficult behavior, I mastered my organization skills, and I sharpened my communication abilities.

Prior to being a high school English instructor, I worked at Shoreline Community College as a writing tutor for nearly three years. The students I taught were primarily non-native English speakers of international backgrounds. A majority of my work consisted in helping students construct essays for their college classes or university admissions. I found it to be very rewarding to assist students from all over the world, it was a joy to help them achieve their academic goals.

Through these experiences as well as my travels through Europe, North Africa, India, and the Middle East, I have spent many hours learning from and communicating with individuals of various cultural backgrounds. These opportunities have helped me understand the world on a deeper level.

In addition to my international experience, I have worked in radio. When I was a student at the University of Washington, I was a DJ for the college radio station. I hosted my own show, this led to the opportunity I had as a volunteer at the Seattle radio station KEXP. And so it is with this history that I have been shaped into what I believe to be a suitable candidate for a teaching position in South Korea. I thank you for taking the time to read about me, and I look forward to your response.

During my studies at Nelson Mandela University, I was part of a student society which offered tutorial classes for learners at a local high School.
Furthermore in 2021 I was employed at Cebelihle Primary School as an Education Assistant/ Teachers Assistant.

During these two periods I learned to be able to work in a team. Also the were times I would be working independently, where I would be given a task of class management. Therefore I had learnt to be flexible because I would be working in different grades. So the whole experience has taught me a lot about working in a school environment.
