Hi there,
Clinton Cameron here. I am an Irish and South African citizen currently living in sunny South Africa. I have a bachelor’s degree with an English major as well as an honours degree in psychology. I am also a Master’s degree student in clinical psychology and I have practiced as an intern clinical psychologist at hospitals and clinics which has added valuable experience in working with children. In terms of teaching, I am in the process of completing a 120 hours TEFL certificate in the next few days. Furthermore, I have multiple years of experience teaching and tutoring English. I have worked in South Korea (one year), Taiwan and South Africa teaching English as a second or foreign language to students of all ages, particularly kindergarten to elementary and middle school age groups. Some of this experience includes fun and interesting ways of teaching children with LEGO StoryStarter sets which was one of the primary teaching methods when I had my own small teaching business. I have also tutored Maths, Science and Engineering.
Therefore, I can with confidence say that I am skilled in phonics, assessments, therapy and counselling, classroom management, innovative learning methods, teaching speaking, reading, listening and writing from beginner to advanced levels, business English, academic English, IELTS and so on.
All of the above says a lot about my personality as well. I am an intelligent and humorous person with a profound sense of adventure. I have a keen interest in learning new languages and hope to immerse myself in the Korean language. I enjoy working with children and can be a lot of fun in my interactions with them. Yet I am also very disciplined and able to apply myself through hard work and knowledge. I am outgoing and enjoy working with people; however, with that being said I also enjoy time to read, reflect and think. Furthermore, my friends have told me that I am a gentle and loving person – I often am referred to as a ‘gentle giant’ due to being quite tall and caring.
