SAT/AP Teachers

I am a recent graduate from UCLA, with a major in Fine Arts and minor in Film, TV, and Digital Media and am looking for a work environment where I can utilize my interest in education. Having grown up going to many different test prep centers and being a tutor myself, I realize the importance of being a good educator and what kind of difference it can bring to students' lives.

Working as the Social Media Coordinator for UCLA Grand Challenges, I worked primarily with creating original content for our partners in mental health in partnership with notable celebrities such as Metta World Peace and Glenn Close. As the Grand Challenges branch of UCLA was relatively new, I often wrestled with creating new efficient brand strategies that would convey the message of our brand and increase awareness to our growing audience. During my year at Grand Challenges, we saw a growth of 160% in our number of followers and a significant increase in our engagement as we participated in different media campaigns. This was an extremely fast-paced environment as we were trying to expand our growth as quickly as possible and in order to be successful, we had to constantly be shifting with the trends. From this position, I was able to hone in on my ability to think quickly and react accordingly as well as stretch my breadth of responsibility.

With my experience, I believe that I would be a good asset to GLOII, as well as being proficient and familiar with the skills and experience needed for students as well as the university process itself to be accepted to high-ranking colleges in the US.

To Whom It May Concern,

It is with great enthusiasm that I submit my resume to GLOII. I feel my experience, qualifications, and eagerness to learn new things will make me an excellent match for this position. From my time studying English at Western Michigan University to earning a 150 hour TESOL Certificate, and multiple writing positions in between, I feel everything has been leading up to a marvelous position such as this.

I am originally from the United States, but in 2013 my wife and I moved to Geoje island and where I worked as a Writing Teacher at Baverstock English School teaching students of all age ranges from first grade all the way up to adults. Though it was challenging at times, it was a tremendously rewarding experience to work with such vastly different learners to determine which age range I felt I could best guide to English proficiency. I put these skills to use in my next teaching position at Gwangyang Jecheol Elementary School and later at Myongji Elementary School here in Seoul. After years of working with elementary students, I am ready to make the transition back into working with older students as I have previously in Geoje and as a Teaching Assistant at Western Michigan University.

Shortly after arriving in Gwangyang, I started the website K League United to offer more English language coverage of the K League. What started as me covering my local team has grown to a staff of 20 volunteer writers that I oversee as Editor in Chief. Our coverage includes writing news pieces, match previews, player interviews, and more. Working with the vastly different perspectives of 20 writers spanning the globe has been a unique challenge, but one that I have been able to use to create and maintain Editorial style, standards, and structure to implement them sitewide. An Editorial style I am happy to say has drawn the attention of the K League itself, who we now regularly work with to publish articles on KLeague.com.

In both of my roles as teacher and Editor, I have honed my skills in people management, administering curriculum, and presenting materials to various levels of learners. In the classroom and while editing fellow native speaker’s writing, I have learned how to help high level and low level writers in equal measure with targeted feedback and working more closely on an individual basis with lower level writers.

I hope to further my career as an educator and believe this position will be an immensely fulfilling opportunity to continue that goal. I truly love teaching, love working with students of all abilities, and look forward to the challenge of teaching in a more focused manner.

Sincerely,

Ryan P. Walters

I have lived in the United States for over 10 years and have attended a foreign school in Korea for high school. Furthermore, I have finished college and will be attending a PhD program at Dartmouth this fall. From this, I have experienced the US curriculum, undergraduate application process, US college system, and the US graduate school application process. Because I have experienced all of the things that a student who is preparing for college in the US will experience, I can provide advice and more than sufficient training to these students. I believe that I can use the breadth of my experience to students who need them. Apart from having the experience of studying abroad, I have also taught students at other academies before. I developed my own curriculum and taught students for math and English.

In all of the previous jobs that I have had, I put my 100% effort and time. For example, in the research assistant jobs that I have had, my time and effort led me to present in regional and international conferences. Moreover, it led me to receive awards from the Dean of Weissman School of Arts & Sciences at my current college, from the Genetics Society of America and from my current bachelor's degree program.

I believe that my personal and teaching experiences will allow me to fully help students preparing to study abroad in the US for college.

I am currently a student at the University of Chicago, studying Anthropology and Germanic Studies. I chose these fields because of my lifelong love for learning about different cultures and learning new languages. In addition to my studies in Chicago, in the course of my college years I also lived, worked, and studied in six other cities, four of which were outside the United States. After my graduation in June I would love to continue travelling, meeting new people, learning new languages, and encountering new cultures.
I am interested in this position because I am looking to do more than just teach English. As a top tier humanities student at one of the world’s best colleges, I believe I am well equipped to lead an engaging and productive elite prep classroom. As a high scorer myself, I would like to help other have the opportunity I had to attend a top tier American college.
I have extensive experience teaching children and teenagers and experience thinking on my feet through my experience as a health advocacy workshop leader. I believe that through working as an AP teacher I could put my passion for intercultural exchange to good use, while inspiring and instructing the global leaders of the future.

I am a Korean American finishing my last year of school at UCLA, majoring in applied mathematics with a specialization in computing. I am also a recipient of the prestigious Regents Scholarship from UCLA, which is awarded to only the top 1.5% of UCLA students.

As a math teacher, I hope to share my passion for math with my students, and make them excited to learn math. I know that in my life, the teachers who were passionate about their subject made me excited to learn.

Although I grew up speaking only English at home, in the last few years I made an effort to learn Korean. I took a year-long course in Korean at UCLA during the 2016-2017 school year, and I got the amazing opportunity to study at Yonsei University in the summer of 2017. By the end of my time at Yonsei, I felt comfortable enough to get around Seoul speaking only Korean. I am excited to return to Korea to improve my Korean skills, and also learn more about Korean culture.

I do believe my time studying at Yonsei will help me relate to Korean students. I did many things that young Koreans like to do for fun, like going to PC Bangs (PC방), Noraebangs (노래방), and arcades (오락실).

Over my time at the high school, I had various opportunities to develop my leadership and organization abilities. I maintained a 4.0 GPA while being involved in many extra-curricular activities, tutoring, and taking eight Advanced Placement Classes. Balancing all of these different obligations has helped me develop greater time-management skills. Specifically, tutoring, and my work in National Honors Society and Knowledge Bowl have helped me gain greater communication and organization skills.
I began tutoring my freshman year, and I was able to help a senior struggling in Algebra II graduate. Since then, I have tutored over fifteen students, accumulating more than 300 community service hours. Over time, I noticed that there was particular demand for SAT and ACT tutoring, so I organized my own curriculum and lesson plans for students, as while as personalizing to each individual’s needs. This summer, I am coordinating with the Anacortes School District to teach a SAT Class for a small group of high school students. Tutoring has helped me learn how to communicate with a various amounts of people.
In college, I continued working in education, serving as a volunteer tutor for students studying AP Calculus at a local high school, and working as an education intern and tutor for Middle Tree Academy, where I organized the standardized test preparation curriculum there. Now, I serve as a mentor for the mathematics and physics department, teaching introductory level physics and Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus.
I have extensive experience with these subjects, am enthusiastic, patient, flexible, and accountable, and am happy to work with all students.

My name is Prisca Choi and I am a creative, enthusiastic and passionate teacher currently teaching in Jeollabuk-do, South Korea. I graduated from the University of Toronto with a Master’s in Arts, specializing in Japanese and Korean colonial history. I am also well versed in world history, visual arts, music and classical Latin. I am interested in teaching at an international institution to expand my current teaching experience. Since arriving in Korea, I have had the opportunity to work with middle school students in rural areas. I am now looking to teaching younger students in a city location so I can interact with a wider range of students from varying social backgrounds.

In South Korea, I mainly teach middle school grades at Namwon Middle School and Unbong Middle School. Once a week at Dotong Elementary School, I teach the fifth grade. In the winter season, I taught sixth grade at Gyorong Elementary School. This year I have had the opportunity to run an advanced English club with third grade students at Namwon Middle School. My classes incorporate newspaper articles and multicultural topics that allow students to apply their critical thinking and English skills to real life topics. I have some previous experience in Canada teaching classical Latin at a university level and I worked as a private tutor with adult students specifically on English pronunciation and fluency. I think my personal language learning experience helps relate to students' English frustrations. Furthermore, my exchange abroad and other travel experiences will help me be more empathetic to cultural differences.

A summary of my professional achievements, education and other proficient languages will be found on my resume as well as details regarding my own freelance photography and media work. Thank you for taking time to consider my application and please do not hesitate to call, email or Skype me if you have any further questions.
