SAT/AP Teachers

When I started my job in Silicon Valley, I went from working part-time in my job to having 3 jobs. I worked as a math tutor and statistician for Stanford Athletics and San Francisco 49ers. I worked with middle and high school students in all subjects of math. I have a friendly, bright, and optimistic personality that helped me in my teaching job. For the statistician job, I sought out to the head coaches to obtain the job. Starting from high school, there was no job that allowed students to work on the football team besides an athlete. I reached out to the coaches and showed my passion and knowledge for the sport and my determination to help the team. I worked as a manager and statistician for high school, UC Davis, Stanford Athletics, and San Francisco 49ers. I am very determined and ambitious and like to think outside of the box.
I am fluent in English and Korean. I lived in Seoul, Korea for 14.5 years attending an American school. I understand the culture and language from both countries. I am seeking for a job to live in Seoul, Korea on my own this time around.

I have taught basically all my life. It started with tutoring and extended to teaching students in an organization. That is when I officially can say that I am a teacher. My personality is kind and very patient with students. Although I try to be funny with my students, when they give me a hard time, I always manage to get through the day without hitting or corporally punishing my students. You see my students are Black and Hispanic, two of the worst kinds of students, and I managed to teach them without touching them or striking them. I think that is a skill that shines and I should put here. Other skills include teaching Chemistry or Physics or even Math. My skills are very wide in terms of teaching. I also am good with any Microsoft products and have some knowledge with Java.

To Whom it May Concern,

My name is Regina Krawiec and I am a recent graduate of Vassar College. I am writing to apply for the position of SAT Teacher in the Summer Vacation Seasonal Temporary category, hoping to tutor Critical Reading/English. I am very enthusiastic about this position and after reading the description I believe I am the perfect candidate for the role.

My tutoring background extends far back into high school when I used to tutor classmates in Mathematics after school. I had taken a series of honors and AP math classes, so by the time I was a Junior I was well equipped to tutor those who were struggling in math. After high school, and having scored a five on the AP Calculus test, I went on to tutor classmates at Vassar beginning in my Freshman year. I distinctly remember a friend reading her Calculus textbook, which was written in a particularly obtuse way, and struggling to grasp the material. I was able to extract the information she needed and offer some clarity on the subject, so that she could understand what was being described. In these instances, I felt a sense of fulfilment that I was able to assist my fellow classmates and discovered that I had a keen ability to explain difficult material. I continued to tutor my classmates during my undergraduate years in subjects beyond Mathematics, including: Chemistry, English Language Arts, Italian, German, French and Classical Music.

Beyond my tutoring abilities, I believe I have an amiable personality that is easy to get along with. I know how to establish an atmosphere in which students feel motivated to do well, and encouraged to ask questions. I understand the importance of this stage in a young person’s life and am excited about the opportunity to lend a helping hand during this challenging period.

Along with my interest in education and tutoring, I also have a keen interest in South Korea. I would love the opportunity to learn more about the country’s rich cultural heritage and experience what South Korea has to offer.

With my tutoring experience and capabilities, and my interest in learning more about South Korea, I believe that I would be an excellent SAT teacher.

Thank you for considering my application.

Best Regards,

Regina Krawiec

I have experience teaching both children and adults in a variety of settings, including one-on-one private tutoring and classroom teaching. Specifically, I taught ESL in South Korea for one year. Currently, I am a graduate teaching assistant at my university where I teach American Government and State and Local Government. In addition to my teaching duties, I also provide private tutoring services to students in political science undergraduate coursework. I also have obtained an internship with a local NGO providing assistance to resettled refugees via K-12 ESL tutoring, adult ESL lessons and adult citizenship classes. Most importantly, I am currently learning Korean; as a second-language learner myself, I understand the difficulties in learning a second language. I can empathize with students and think constructively to provide them with different approaches to understanding best suited to their learning style. I also participate in a program at my university assisting international students with transitioning to life in America, so I believe I could provide valuable advice, particularly to SAT or TOEFL clients.

My name is Ruth Son and I am a Korean American born in Portland, Oregon, USA and currently residing in Everett, Washington, USA. I am interested in the SAT/ACT/AP/IB Instructor. I am confident I have the skills, experience, and dedicated commitment needed for this position.

My passion for teaching developed as I tutored academically and economically challenged students, and witnessed the excitement that comes from learning and the satisfaction of students realizing their ability to succeed in learning. Now, with over 6 years of experience teaching/tutoring, I have developed a strong dedication to teaching and learning. My constant emphasis on learning fostered a desire to pursue a career filled with learning.

I tutor to allow students to understand by learning and not by memorizing. My qualifications from high school and first year at the University of Washington may be lacking, but over the past 6 years I have improved in my ability to learn and to teach. I have spent numerous additional hours reviewing and re-learning math and chemistry concepts from middle school, high school, university, SAT/ACT, and AP/IB exams. I am familiar with most high school and college math textbooks and have solved through almost all the SAT/ACT books available in the current market. By dedicating time to my own learning, I understand the power of education and the necessity to constantly learn. My dedication to learning is what makes me a great candidate – I am willing to spend additional hours to learn and teach to further the learning of students. If I may be lacking requisite knowledge or skills in certain areas, I am willing to study in my own time to learn and compensate for my inadequacies.

I am eager to apply my background and strengths to assist in the work being done. I am extremely flexible with my schedule would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to further discuss how my qualifications match this position.

I am a hardworking, personable and driven tutor and editor. Particularly, my expertise is in improving writing. I am an attentive, quick and quality-oriented editor who is happy to work with students with varying levels of English proficiency.

I was once an international student who had difficulty studying in English. Later I overcame this difficulty by improving my English and successfully finished my business administration programme in Simon Fraser University, Canada. With this personal background, I have always been interested in helping students from non-English speaking countries’ cultural backgrounds to improve their English. Thus, when I saw this job posting, I immediately felt compelled to apply for the position.

In addition, I have been studying some languages. Hence, I can speak three languages now; I speak Korean and English fluently, and Spanish to an extent that I can conduct regular daily conversation. Therefore, I do have know-how(s) in learning a new language, especially in learning English. As a matter of fact, I received a C+ from Academic Writing in 2013 in Douglas College but this year, I received an A+ from International Human Resource Management from Simon Fraser University; I received 26 out of 30 on my paper, which was one of the highest scores in the entire class. Thus, I can use my language study experience for Herald Language College’s students

I have experience of teaching teenagers since I was a university student. I have taught English from private academy in Korea, and also from private tutoring. Since 2015-2017 I have taught teenagers from Hanaro alternative school in Hanaro Youth Shelter Sociology and Korean History. Through these experience, I have learned the skills to teach and treat students. I studied from Seoul International School from 2007 to 2009, so I am also well aware of the system and the curriculum of International schools.

I have finished my masters degree with a major in Sociology in 2017. My Bachelors degree was on Political Science and English Literature so I also have good knowledge of Politics and World History.

I am very friendly and understanding. I have experience of living in overseas such as Australia and Britain. I met many different people with different culture, and this experience led me to become an understanding and global-minded person. From my work experience, I have met so many teenagers from different backgrounds. Therefore, I could work well with any students, and I am sure that I could make the students to enjoy learning with me.

I graduated at California Polytechnic University, Pomona with a B.S. in Applied Mathematics. After graduating, I studied to become an actuary while working at an after school and at a general contracting company. After passing few actuarial exams, I started applying but did not get accepted anywhere due the high demands of entry level positions. So, I decided to get a masters in education and a teacher credential to become a math teacher.

My favorite class in high school was my Calculus BC class. This class inspired me to pursue mathematics and teach mathematics.
