Emily: United Kingdom: Aug 25, 2018

As a recent graduate with a first class honours in Asian Pacific Studies, I am knowledgeable in various cultural and social differences that young students in South Korea have and will be able to adapt my knowledge to teach them. Throughout my final year of university, I worked as a receptionist for the Student Union's Advice Centre and was able to balance studying, working and socialising well. This receptionist position also helped me develop the necessary skills to handle all types of people in a calm and sensible manner.

As a British-born Chinese, I am completely fluent in English. But I also know the struggles of learning another language whilst growing up, so I understand how students may feel whilst they are undergoing their English studies. I am passionate in the art of languages and think that it is one of the most important skills a young person can learn and so I hope to be able to assist in a student's learning.

Most importantly, I have completed a 120 hour TEFL course, where I undertook modules on English grammar, teaching methods, telephone teaching, large classroom teaching methods, as well as undergoing classroom observations. In addition to this, I have undertaken Teaching Knowledge Tests, certified by the University of Cambridge. This means that I am well equipped in how to teach English as a second language.
