SAT/AP Teachers

I have always been an adventurer, obsessed with investigating and discovery. My interest in math and science was sparked by early childhood explorations through the forests and wetlands of Southeast Wisconsin. Pursuing curiosity for math and science into my teenage years lead me across the country to Johns Hopkins University, where I rediscovered my passion for people and the natural world.

My choice to leave my family and friends for Baltimore was a hard one, but I wanted to meet new people and have adventures on a different coast. In Baltimore, I found many things including great friends, challenges, beauty, and awareness. I've be a part of several research projects that have taken me across the country: from the Alaskan tundra to East Baltimore. I've found myself working with amazing teams and meeting new impressive people all the time. Although my academic focus is STEM, I am driven by humans and the capacity to improve the human experience through environmental education. On campus, I pursue my educator interests through student groups, with middle school students for whom I help organize a Biomedical Engineering lab program or with my work as a GED tutor. 

My move forced me to be comfortable being uncomfortable, something that would certainly help while teaching in SK. I can stay calm in stressful situations; whether facing pressing deadlines, experiencing problems with a code I’m working on, or defusing upset customers at previous jobs, I can keep focus and think logically.

Last year, I studied abroad in Seoul, SK where I experienced a whole new way of living and tested my limits. I fell in love with the people, culture, food, and and natural landscapes and I have been leveraging to get back since I returned to America.

I would like to be a teacher who can be the best friend with my students. Who they can talk about their concerns without hesitation. But also strict so lead them to the right path even it is rough way.

My strengths are my age also my experiences. I definitely had special childhood unlike my other friends. I have seen more things than them in the world.I am lucky. However, sometimes I had to faced to lots of difficulties, but I am truly appreciated with my whole heart that I have these experiences so I can share with shiny ones ( which will be my student. ).

I have been teached many children&teenagers(I can't count) with english, ski/snowboard, career counseling, math etc) I'm not a normal teacher who just teach only subjects. I can play with my students and sympathize with their worry. if they need to play tennis, soccer, basketball or musical, amusement park, I will offer everything for my studnets. because i also can learn a number of things from my students.
The reason i apply here is that i started leaning chinese these days. If i can live here, I wanna move.

I usually taught students by Newspaper and ended with class debation or made the students do their own presentation(screens&computer) in English with what they have prepared. I am specialists in organizing Class Discussion. Class debate .preparing NIE and writing Essays or preparing interviews.

I respect cognitive teaching methods.I especially love the teaching methods of Jews. How they respect each students' talents and try to communicate as much as possible.

I am now occupied at this company but planning to quit by the end of next month.

I have dedicated some teaching methods to this company where they have developed teaching English Online through cams.

I found it very interesting at first but only woth online teaching I felt that isnt enough for the children to learn.

And since I have quite experience in living abroad I would very much appreciate if you give me an opportunity to work with you in China.

I am.looking forward to your interview.

Thank you.

I am a recently graduated Mechanical Engineer with a minor in mathematics, but I have found that my passions lie more in teaching than in Engineering work.

I graduated from High School in the top three percent of my class of 700 students and qualified to go to college with a substantial academic scholarship due to my SAT score of 1460. As a mechanical engineer I took Calculus 1, 2, 3, as well as partial differencial equations and advanced linear algebra. I also took honors physics and many classes about solid and fluid dynamics.

During my time at the University of Houston I taught University Physics as a PF (Peer Facilitator) for four semesters and found it one of the most rewarding jobs I've ever had. As a PF I would attend weekly meetings with a lead teacher and other PFs and we would discuss that week's physics material. Then, during the week, I and a partner would lead four one-hour recitations during which we helped the students struggling in class. We would do examples for them, as well as put them in groups and have them do different practice problems of increasing difficulty.

As for my personality, I am a hard worker who is enthusiastic about physics, math, and South Korean culture! My number one priority is my students, and I believe that anyone can succeed.

Having a degree in Mechanical Engineering means that I have lots of experience in math and physics. I am currently taking my Alternative Certification Program to get my license to teach in Texas.

Experience:
As of May of this year, I will have successfully attained my Bachelors degree at the University of Pennsylvania with a predicted GPA of 3.76. In satisfying the requirements of the degree, I will have completed: Penn's language requirement (indicating proficiency in French), Penn's writing requirements (demonstrating capable writing skills), as well as its general sector requirements (indicating success in a wide variety of disciplines). During my time at Penn I have acquired teaching experience through my involvement in the Penn Tutoring Center where I was tasked with developing 1-on-1 lessons for students struggling in Econ001(microeconomics) and Econ002(macroeconomics).

Personality and Skills:
I see myself as a driven and motivated student who has a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to succeed in an Ivy League environment. I'd like to leverage these skills to help students to reach their academic goals and at the same time explore the world and expose myself to different cultural experiences.

I am an experienced English teacher and a passionate learner and traveler. I love to travel to new places and meet new people, and I think that one excellent way of doing this is through teaching English, because in the classroom I have a platform to share my own language and culture, while at the same time learning about a new one. In my classroom I am always energetic and enthusiastic, but also patient and a good listener. I love answering student questions and learning along with the students. I have been known to make fun and productive lessons out of even the driest material. I think that a patience, understanding, and enthusiasm are the most important traits for a teacher to have, along with the skill of clear explanation and command over the classroom, which I have learned from experience. I have experience working with all ages, from young children to adults, many subjects, and many forms of classroom, from one-on-one, to team teaching to leading my own classroom. By now, I am confident that I can handle any classroom with a smile.

I graduated University in Korea. I had a job in Private company for 7years. My job was working as secretary. And I am living in Nanjing, China. Because I married with chinese man last year. In China, I spend a lovely life.
Actually I have a korean teaching license. I knew that It is not included in SAT subjects. But what I want to say that I have ability to teach lovely students.
My major in University is “International Area”. I am specialized in history, economy related to US.

I am confident that my academic and international experiences have afforded me strong foundation skills of teaching, organizing and communicating with colleagues in the field. These features qualified me of assimilating to every organization easily. During college years, I could develop myself as a great multi-tasker and great mediator. After many international experiences, I gained global insight, open mindset. While living in Germany as an exchange student, I registered for not only my major courses for Linguistics and English literature and cultures, but also many philosophy class and social studies class which could improve my liberal arts knowledge. It fostered me to become a more independent and globalized student. After studying for becoming a teacher, I gained deep understanding of English linguistics regarding syntax, phonology, phonetics, semantics, and pragmatics. Furthermore, as majored in Education, I had earned a lot of studying and consulting experiences in the field of education, psychology and consultation. Additionally, though I do not have Toefl score or others for AP teaching, I can achieve those in no time thanks to the previous experiences of Toefl studying. Further, I am brave enough to share diverse ideas with people around and behave according to them. I would very much appreciate to have the opportunity to contact you personally so that we can talk and discuss further for our mutual growth.

I've been teaching English for almost twenty years and have been successful in this career. Teaching SAT to Korean students in China will be an another opportunity to broaden my career.
I am an easy-going person with high achievement goals.
I'm also a people person and always have been well accepted.
I'm also a well rounded person. I learn things fast and have great ability to create new things. I can write songs and play various musical instruments. I am also able to shoot and edit videos.
