SAT/AP Teachers

Although I have spent most of my life in South Korea, I left the country at a young age, and I studied in the United States of America for more than eight years. I am confident that I am capable of teaching English fluently at a Korean-English academy.

I already have three years of teaching experience in South Korea at an academy called “GE,” in Ilsan and “Sehan” in Daechi, where I was in charge of all of their upper-level literature and writing classes. Undoubtedly, both parents and students showed great affection and respect for me because of my passionate yet meticulous style of teaching. I dedicated immense amounts of time preparing for my classes, and everyone was able to hear my loud voice resonating across the entire building. Furthermore, I have always treated my students with sincerity so that they do not feel uncomfortable around me at all. I have always carefully prepared all of their daily, weekly, and monthly assignments.

Additionally, I am capable of producing my own R&D for literature courses as I have extensive knowledge about many books for all different AR-Levels. A lot of my students were particularly satisfied with my literature classes as I dedicated a lot of time covering all of the symbolism and metaphor hidden in the book. Moreover, although I had to reject their offer regrettably due to military service, after I graduated from Columbia College Chicago, I had an opportunity to enroll in their Master's Program for Creative Writing along with 50% of scholarship, given straight from the University, so my expertise in writing is equally great to my understanding of literature. Therefore, despite my lack of experience teaching English in Korea, I still have full confidence in my ability to teach at your academy.

To conclude, I am willing to work with passion and dedicate my life to improving the students and the academy I will be working for. If you could provide me an opportunity where I can demonstrate my passion and experience in teaching, then I promise that I will not disappoint you easily.

P.S. I have a bunch of materialies I made personally throughout my teaching careers for literature (and a little bit for writing as well) and if you wishes to see them, please let me know, I will email it to you.

I was able to learn the advantages of various educational systems while working in different educational institutions such as alternative schools, international schools, and language academies. All of these experiences are being applied to help students learn more efficiently in the future. I prefer assisting fellow teachers when they are facing challenging situations. Additionally, I have a basic knowledge of computer programming and can utilize AI for material creation.

Professional Attitude: I possess a professional demeanor that enables me to build strong relationships with clients and colleagues alike. I prioritize open communication, respect, and teamwork to create a positive and productive working environment.

Research and Time Management: My excellent research skills enable me to stay updated on the latest trends and developments in language teaching and Korean culture. Coupled with effective time management, I can plan and execute well-structured lessons that cater to the specific needs of my students.

Problem Resolution: I am adept at identifying and resolving challenges that arise during the teaching process. My problem-solving abilities enable me to adapt my teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning styles and address individual learning difficulties effectively.

Self-Motivated and Devoted: As a self-motivated individual, I am passionate about teaching Korean language and culture. I approach my role with dedication and a strong sense of responsibility, ensuring that my students receive the best possible learning experience.

Willingness to Learn and Take on Challenges: I am not afraid to take on new challenges and continuously seek opportunities for personal and professional growth. I embrace learning new teaching methodologies and incorporating innovative techniques into my lessons.

Effective Communication: I possess exceptional communication skills, allowing me to connect with students of all ages and backgrounds. As a native Korean speaker and fluent in English (TOEIC 955), I can effectively convey complex concepts and facilitate meaningful interactions with my students.

Multicultural Experience: Having traveled extensively to countries such as the United States of America, China, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, and Korea, I bring a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and can incorporate cross-cultural aspects into my teaching to foster a global perspective.

Computer Proficiency: I am well-versed in various computer applications, including Excel, PowerPoint, and Microsoft Office Word. These skills enable me to create engaging and visually appealing teaching materials to enhance the learning experience.

Korean Language Teaching License: With my Korean language teaching license, I am equipped with the knowledge and expertise required to effectively design and implement comprehensive language programs, ensuring that my students achieve their learning objectives.

By combining these strengths, personality traits, and skills, I am confident in my ability to deliver exceptional Korean language education and make a positive impact on my students' language proficiency and cultural understanding.

My work experience with children have been deep rooted in me as one of the first older students within my Korean community. Tutoring them throughout my high school and college years, I have tried to continue the Korean educational pride among the community. Throughout college, I engaged in community service working with underserved populations to teach kids who do not have stable homes and support. After college, the majority of my professional career has been working with kids in the nation's top pediatric hospital. Working with kids who shine through even with illnesses that they carry has only grown my desire to work more alongside children.

I am a professional teacher of Korean, and Korean language expert.

I started my teaching career at a high school in my home country in 1986 and since then, I have been teaching Korean subject at Secondary school level within my home country and abroad. Currently I am teaching at one of the high schools in my home country.

So far, I have provided my students with the quality educational service along with sincere pastoral care and the differentiated optimal learning experience, which has accommodated each student’s various needs.

I have led many students toward academic excellence and assisted them with good interpersonal skills in the matter of each one’s character-building and fulfilling own full potential.

Also, I have been known as a teacher having made an excellent result of the success in pupils’ university entrance test.

As a teacher of Korean, I am equipped with the extensive and in-depth subject knowledge, teaching skills, and an exceptional ability of designing lesson/assessment material on the full range of Korean language & literature in accordance with subject specification of Korean mother tongue proficiency course and foreigners’ second language acquisition course.

I believe that I have been proven not only as a professional instructor but also as a committed and enthusiastic educator with high standard of integrity, a self-motivated hard worker, and a team player with strong work ethic in educational sector.

I also have contributed from some of my experiences as educational administrator to the high caliber of effective educational administration.

I wish that my passion and commitment on Korean language education would continually be of a good help in students’ study of Korean.

I am writing to apply for the SAT/AP Teacher position at The School. I am a highly qualified and experienced teacher, with over 2 years of experience teaching in South Korea. I am confident that I can provide the highest quality of SAT/AP test prep services to your students.

I am knowledgeable in a variety of subjects, including English and History. I am confident that I can help your students succeed on the SAT/AP English Literature exam.

I am passionate about teaching and I am committed to helping my students succeed. I would be an excellent addition to your team and I look forward to contributing to the success of your students.

I am an organised and reliable individual with a proven ability to self-motivate and work under pressure whilst ensuring work is accurate and completed to deadlines: I am proactive, ambitious and enthusiastic. I am quick to grasp new concepts and extremely hard-working. I am able to build and maintain strong relationships with both colleagues and students, allowing for better communication and a healthy rapport with those around me. This, in turn, lends me strength in managing others.

I have experience with tutoring students in subjects such as English literature, history, and rhetoric, and work well both independently and on a team. In addition, I am familiar with a range of teaching and tutoring techniques as I have a TEFL certification from a 120 hour course. I also worked at Lake Forest College as a Writing Tutor, where I also earned my Bachelor of Arts in English. I am excited by new challenges and take seriously the professional refinement of my skills; during my final year of instruction at Lake Forest College, I wrote a Bachelor’s dissertation on literary analysis of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, which prepares me today for teaching students the importance of writing with clarity and poise. My experience and willingness to learn are two major assets I would bring to your workplace. My prior engagement with the Writing Center at Lake Forest College taught me the logistics of teaching grammar, essay construction, and literature analysis to students. I learned there that a good tutor is intuitive, pays attention to the student’s needs, and adapts to unexpected circumstances. I am a quick learner and know that every day I will face new opportunities to grow.
