SAT/AP Teachers

With my studies specializing in science, I am confident in my knowledge in scientific subjects as chemistry, biology, physics, and anatomy. Additionally, I love to read, write, and help others learn how to best implement crucial reading and writing practices. I am incredibly passionate about teaching, and would love to be able to practice this passion before I enter medical school in the US this upcoming Fall.

I currently hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from St. John's University and I am in the process of completing a Master of Arts degree in Teaching Social Studies at New York University. Upon completion of my master's degree, I will be certified to teach social studies, history, and humanities in grades 5-12. I am interested in teaching at an international school because I believe I possess both the required pedagogical skills and content knowledge required to effectively contribute at such a school. In addition, I would love to expand my horizons by immersing myself in a foreign culture and continue to mature as an educator. Growing up in New York City, I experienced three distinct types of diverse school communities as a student: a standard public elementary school, a screened middle school, and a private high school. As a master's student at New York University, I have continued to learn about pedagogical methods and have put them into practice as a student teacher. As such, I believe I can bring a wide range of skills and ideas to any international school community, while also being open-minded myself and eager to learn.

As an emerging social studies teacher, I have a passion for teaching history, providing an engaging classroom experience, and helping my students grow and develop their skills, both academically and practically. Social studies have been a lifelong passion of mine; from the earliest age I can remember it was my favorite subject in school. That passion has continued into my adult life. As an undergraduate, I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science with a minor in History and I am currently completing a Master of Arts degree in Teaching Social Studies. I plan to continue to learn more about social studies and pedagogy, both formally and informally. In doing so, not only can I continue to hone my craft as an educator, but I can set an example for my students by exhibiting the type of lifelong learning that I want them to also attain.

During my first period of student teaching I experienced how rewarding it is to see students engaged in the learning process and develop their skills over the course of a semester. Naturally, the more students are engaged, the more they are going to develop over the course of a school year, since they are taking a more active interest in their learning and growth. As part of my first semester of student teaching, I designed a month-long unit utilizing backward design, culturally responsive teaching, and universal design for learning principles. As part of the unit, students analyzed democracy in Ancient Athens and compared it to democracy in the United States and around the world, with specific attention being paid to enduring issues, such as gender inequality, social class tensions, and access to free and fair elections. The culmination of the unit was a summative assessment in the form of a Socratic seminar, wherein students evaluated the health of democracy around the world. Ultimately, I want to prepare my students not only academically, by putting them in a good position to pass their standardized tests, but I also want to develop them practically, by preparing them to be civic-minded citizens. In short, by being a culturally responsive educator who crafts lessons that are engaging and relevant, I believe I can achieve my goals of being an effective teacher who engages his students and helps to develop their skills academically and practically.

I am an enthusiastic person with a love for the subjects that I teach and a passion for education. I have almost a decade of experience teaching students of varying backgrounds and skill levels.

I have taught students in both a private capacity as a tutor as well as in the classroom (both academy and public school). I have a stubborn streak and dislike giving up on my students.

I’m smart, I’m funny, I’m a great team leader, I work well with others, I’m prompt, I’m focused, I pay attention to details, I’m grounded, I really appreciate hard work, I’m never late, I can work weekends and also open to new experiences that bring growth and change, I also enjoy teaching as it gives me joy knowing that knowledge will never fade as long as it's continuously passed on from generation to generation so to improve on ourselves and the world around us.

I can easily adapt to any given environment whether stressful or stimulating with a fast learning capability for attention to details and an attentive listen skill coupled with an expressive but yet reserved self awareness, I enjoy learning and mastering new things to perfection and easily learn from mistakes made during such attempts

I am also a very well balanced emotional, mental and physical being that finds comfort in keeping that balance while still allowing new experiences to further shape me into a better version of myself no matter the circumstances of the environment.

I am a recent graduate from Stanford University. I got my Bachelor's degree in Bioengineering and my Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, both in four years, and I currently work as a freelance App developer. I have been tutoring students in math for as long as I can remember, and started tutoring other subjects as I took them. I am open and willing to teach just about any subject related to STEM coursework, and additionally love to teach English/Writing and helping write college essays. I have gotten 30+ kids into Ivy League/TopTier schools including Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, MIT, Harvard, Rice, UC Berkeley, and UPenn, and would love to help prepare your child for a future at one of those schools as well! I even did a stint working with admissions officers at a few schools to improve their admissions processes. Whether its how to "do the right extracurriculars" as a 9th grader, or how to write a killer essay as a senior, I'd love to work with you!

I am a kind-hearted creative teacher. I focus on building a good working relationship with my students and encouraging them to reach their greatest potential. My academic background is in psychology and international/ comparative education. Based on my education and work experience, I embody strong cross-cultural communication skills. My most important role as a teacher mentoring my students and guiding their holistic development. I love teaching writing and critical thinking skills.

After I was graduated university, I worked at financial market for 10 years. During the period, I have improved on my annoucing skill in front of crowds. Because I have to do a lot of presentations to teach audience what I know professionally. Also, I am certain that I strongly take care of my duty more accurately.

I am responsible for the job what I am hired for and try to do my best to complete the objective.

I am highly motivated to teach in English at Qingdao private international school. Please do not hestitate to contact me with any inquiries if you need.

I have over 5000 classroom teaching hours and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and being the classroom with students. I would describe myself as extremely extroverted and always full of energy. I always like to bring that energy to a classroom so that children or students that I am interacting with can become energetic about the subject matter we are learning. In terms of skills, I am fluent in Korean, I have numerous references related to my teaching ability, and I am extremely confident in my ability to help students achieve their full potential. I have been in education for almost the entirety of my life. My father and mother were both teachers. My sister is a teacher and I have been in some aspect of professional education since I was 21 years old. I am currently driving for rideshare companies while I selectively apply for new positions. I have missed teaching and would like to get back into Education in Asia.
