Hello, my name is Kim Min Seok currently enrolled in Kyung International College (KIC). Although my major is not in relation to IcT, I started studying Android, Java, and Eclipse IDE since last year by myself. I am currently the CEO of KOCEAN. KOCEAN is a cooperation producing effective, useful applications for foreign travelers. We devote ourselves to come up with brilliant ideas which can make your travel much more convenient in Korea. KOCEAN stands for "KOrea loves you," "Come to Korea," "Enjoy your travel," "Anytime should you Need us, we can help you!" KOCEAN is currently engaging in developing an application named TOONG. TOONG will be available for any foreign travelers coming to Korea. For further information, please visit seok3021.wixsite.com/kocean. I am fluent in speaking English, and have a score of 112 out of 120 on TOEFL. I have spent 2 years of studying in the United States, and have always loved to interact with individuals who have different perspectives on the same issue.
My dream is to develop my company and establish secondary schools which specifically provide IT education to students in Korea. I personally believe, in the era of where the 4th industrial revolution has began, the education system in Korea ought to be changed as well. My personalities are first, I do not know the word “give up,” second, I do not give up from the point that I start, and third I am highly willing to cooperate with others who have different opinions. I have learned the importance of soft-leadership as well as cooperation through various activities such as International Youth Assembly, Model United Nations, and Youth Conference. While discussing global issues with friends who came from around the world, I was able to enhance passion and patience in working. Since I entered middle school, I started getting interested in the international affairs; I would love to do reading, watching news, and analyzing global issues myself. I also enjoy meeting people and having a discussion on international problems; for that reason, I really got into outside activities such as Model United Nations (MUN) and youth diplomatic programs. Most youth conferences including MUN are usually held during the summer or winter time. When I was 14, I got an opportunity to participate in the 4th Korean Youth International Assembly (KYIA), which was held in Seoul. I was nominated as a delegate of China, and the agendas given to us were “Devising feasible, effective methods to deal with international terrorism” and “Devising practical strategies to sanction the governments which support the terrorist groups”. I had really good discussions with multiple people for 3 days; I was also able to learn a lot of knowledge about relevant global issues throughout this conference. The Korea Times, which was the host of the 4th KYIA, told us that they are going to send the resolutions made by the participants to the Ministry of Affairs of Korea. Through the 4th KYIA, in addition, I firmly made up my mind that I want to be a better person in the future; I want to be an individual who can change the world in a positive way.
Since I joined in the 4th KYIA, I looked up more activities in which I can participate to get further experiences and learn how to negotiate with other people. Every summer, I was involved in the MUNs such as Yonsel Model United Nations (YMUN) and the Model United Nations held by Hankuk Academy of Foreign Studies (MIMUN). Everyone whom I met during the conferences inspired me, and I had done a great amount of research to debate with competent participants. My endless endeavors even led me to get an honorable award in the 1st Model International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies General Assembly (MIGA), which was the first general assembly held by Red Cross; we had a discussion about environmental issues including global warming and climate change. Furthermore, I became a vice president of the 7th KYIA as well as an assistant secretary general of the 5th Global Leaders’ Interactive Society MUN (GLIS MUN), which is one of the biggest MUNs in Korea; I took responsibility of not only managing the entire conference, but also educating each delegate. Additionally, I focused on improving the conference's qualities including constructing guideline for beginners and providing enough information prior to the session. Based on my various experiences, I decided to establish the first MUN in Siheung city. I gathered 20 people who were interested in MUN and created Sorea Model United Nations (SOMUN) in my high school; I became the secretary general and led the conference with chairpersons, delegates, and staff.
Besides participating in MUNs, every summer, I also joined diverse diplomatic programs. For instance, I was a youth diplomat of Siheung city; the international department of Siheung city sent me to Singapore for the purpose of exchanging each country’s culture. At a Korean embassy located in Singapore, I had an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet a Korean ambassador, Oh Joon, who became president of United Nations’ Security Council. Moreover, I was selected as a student of Ministry of foreign affairs of Korea; for that reason, I had an opportunity to listen to several lectures taught by a Korean diplomat (I’m sorry, but I forgot his name) once a weekend for one month. Since he was an ambassador working in Brazil, I was able to hear a lot of information associated with foreign affairs that happened in South America. Furthermore, I used to be a member of VANK (Voluntary Agency Network of Korea), which is a cyber diplomatic organization; the main goal of VANK is introducing Korea to the world and promoting cultural exchange through international friendships. I turned in several petitions to both Chinese and Japanese government; I claimed that they have to modify the distorted histories, which they are teaching to their students. For instance, the Japanese government indicates the sea right next to Korea as “Sea of Japan” on the map; Japanese government also proclaims Dok-do, which is a small island located on East sea, is part of Japanese territory. On top off that, Chinese teachers teach that Goguryeo, which was one of the most prosperous dynasties in 5000 years of Korea’s history, was established by the Chinese. They also speak out Bo Hai, which was a dynasty created by Dae Jo Young, who was a major general of Silla, was also established by a Chinese emperor; therefore, they say Bo Hai is not part of Korea’s history. We must recognize that the evidence which both the Chinese and Japanese government have suggested is illogical, and they are distorting the truth. Otherwise, Korea has unequivocal, distinct historical relics which can prove that Goguryeo and Bo Hai were magnificent dynasties established by Koreans; Korea has scientific evidence which can explain why the “Sea of Japan” is a wrong indication and Dok-do is part of Korean territory. Besides these issues, there are numerous historical arguments going on among Korea, China, and Japan; they must be corrected, and the international community has to recognize the indiscretion that both Japanese and Chinese government have committed.
In conclusion, I have participated in diverse activities to become a competent individual in the near future. I always believe the success of negotiation depends on the affirmative relationships between countries; therefore, I want to spread out the positive energy as well as traditional values that Korea has. Throughout diplomacy, I would also like to achieve a successful relationship with the Democratic People’s of Republic of Korea (DPRK); my ultimate goal would be making the Korean peninsula united again. My journey has just began, and I will keep working the endless horizon. Even though the path is not going to be straightforward, I will never give up; instead, I will challenge the obstacles as well as hardships that I am going to have.

I have broad exposure to the subjects of socials sciences like public policy, laws, political science, and sociology, world history, economics in pretty organized academic settings at the institutions recognizable around the world.

I also have about 3 years of teaching experience at three universities in the United States although the subjects I taught were not social science subjects.

In addition, I also have some professional experience in the real world.

I am very inquisitive and open-minded and enjoy intelligent conversations with young people.

So, Based on my unique experience and academic training, I believe I would become a very valuable asset to your esteemed institution as a teacher of social sciences.

대부분의 과목들이 고등학생때 또는 대학교 1학년때 들었던 과목들이라 가르칠 수 있을 역량이 되는지는 잘 모르겠습니다. 가르치기전에 다시한번 공부를 하고 리뷰를 먼저 한다면 대부분의 과목은 가르칠 수 있을것 같습니다.

저는 미국에 15살때부터 유학을했고 대학교까지 미국에서 나왔습니다. 오래 미국에서 공부한 만큼 아이들에게 수업뿐만이 아니라 학교관련 또는 미국생활 관련 등 팁과 조언을 잘 해줄 수 있을거라 믿습니다. 교육쪽에 관심이 많아 학부생때 교육과 심리학관련된 수업을 많이 들었습니다. 수업들을 통해 교육의 중요성과 선생님이 수업시간뿐만 아니라 그 외의 시간에도 학생들에게 신경을 써줘야 한다는걸 깨닭았습니다. 저는 고등학생때는 보딩을 다녀서 보딩커리큘럼도 잘 알고 제 동생과 사촌동생은 한국에서 국제학교를 다녔어서 한국국제학교에 대해서도 어느정도 알고있습니다. 어렸을때 혼자 미국으로갔기 때문에 아이들이 중국에서 유학생으로 살아가는 심정을 이해합니다. 같은 유학생으로써 잘 어울릴 수 있을거라 생각합니다.

안녕하세요, 국제교육가 김해린 입니다.

저는 국내의 유수 교사와는 차별화 된 이력을 가지고 있습니다.
일찍이 영어공부 및 해외유학에 대한 열정을 키워,청심국제고등학교에 영어 특기자 전형으로 진학한 후 SAT/AP 미국 커리큘럼을 이수하였습니다. 그 후 홍콩대학교에서 (4년 장학생) 교육학을 깊게 공부하면서 21세기 교육자로서의 마인드와 철학, 그리고 비전을 쌓아 왔습니다.

졸업 후 홍콩한국국제학교에서 원어민 영어교사로 3년동안 교편을 잡아 오며 중고등학생을 대상으로 영어 과목 (debate coach and writing), 토플과 SAT (Reading and Math)를 꾸준히 지도해 왔습니다. 학교 내의 수요에 따라 최초로 주니어 토플반을 추가 개설, KIS 재학생들이 성공적으로 국내대학 특례전형 및 외국대학에 진학하도록 대학카운셀러의 역할도 맡아 왔습니다. 제 교직경력에서 배운 수많은 소중한 교훈들 중 단연 기억에 남는 순간들은 저의 수업과 노력으로 학생들을 감동시켜 그들로부터 진심어린 감사의 말을 들었을 때입니다. 수업자로서의 성의와 열정, 그리고 담임/멘토로서의 그들에 대한 배려가 낳은 상호 교류와 발전은, 제가 택한 전공과 직업에 대한 확신을 심어주었습니다. 단순한 생계수단이 아닌 교육자로서의 책임감 있는 직업 정신 및 수업 철학은 저를 뽑으셔야 하는 명백한 이유들 중 하나입니다.

올 가을에는 더욱 더 교육학에 대한 심도 있는 공부를 위해 하버드대학교 세계교육정책학 석사 프로그램에 진학하게 되었습니다. 인생의 설레는 전환을 앞둔 이번 여름, 귀하 학원에서 제가 쌓아온 노하우와 경력을 바탕으로 전략적인 SAT 지도 및 학생들에게 듬직한 멘토로서의 역할을 다 하고 싶습니다. 주어진 업무만 하는 이상의 능동적인 모습으로 열정을 바쳐서 지도하겠습니다.

읽어주셔서 감사합니다. 연락 주세요.

Hi. I will smile in the next picture and try not to look so mysterious. I am 60 years, but my picture is recent, so yes I do look young. And handsome, if I don't mind saying so myself. So please don't worry about my age. I don't. I am an expert teacher in the English language, and published writer. Sometimes I let my students test me on the meaning of any word in the dictionary. Naturally they pick words from the X-Y-Z sections, but most of the time I win. I am a fun teacher, when I see there is need for it, and I am a serious teacher when I see there is a need for it, also. This comes from experience.

I understand that the SAT is a not only a test, but it is also a competition to find the best students to attend the best colleges in the USA, and I prepare my students not only from an academic point of view, but also from a mental point of view. I understand what US colleges are looking for, and how to give this to them, and this will be an invaluable asset to you.

Proof: my own niece was my student. Old SAT score: 2250. Full scholarship, Notre Dame College, Class of 2019.

My wife is Korean, most of my US students are Korean, and I have visited Korea twice, so I am very familiar with how Korean students behave, and what their hard-working parents expect of them.

Personalization is everything. We cannot expect students to be taught the same way like we cannot learn the same way and want to learn the different things. When a teacher teaches you not the way you learn best, then you look for another who will. But I am tenacious, disciplined, and patient. I do not give up on students and pick the best. I do not choose the easy way. As long as I do not give up on a student, they will exceed. I will be the water to their bowl, changing my form as they are shaped. I know my students and that is my strongest strength.

I would like to be considered for an available position as an AP/SAT English instructor. I have experience working in the field for two years, and am currently employed as an ESL instructor in Daejeon with an F-series visa.

I graduated from Cornell University in 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in Government and a minor in French Studies. During my undergraduate career, I had experience working with students as a camp counselor, museum intern, and elementary school tutor. It was during my undergraduate studies that I also had an immersive language experience while I studied abroad in Paris, France. Since moving to Daejeon in August 2016, I have gained valuable experience instructing students between the ages of 6-12. It is by working with students that I have learned effective instruction techniques, lesson planning, and classroom management skills.

I believe that a quality education in a foreign language equips students with the knowledge and confidence to succeed. As a member of your team, would bring my experience and passion as a language instructor. Thank you for your consideration.

I am really good at identifying students needs and weakness in a shoer period of time and improving them in the necessarry areas. I am very easy going and teach in a structured manner. I can explain most terms in Korean as neede by the student.

I have taught in in multiple different countries English, to Children in multiple different age ranges. This means that i am adaptable as a person, to a change in culture and environment, and equipped as a teacher to be sensitive to student's needs and ability. I am bubbly, caring and agreeable as a person. Additionally, I am a conscientious and hardworking individual that sets realistic goals for myself to make a positive difference in whatever field of work I do.
