I am a recent graduate with a degree in English, Language and Education (Industrial), and am currently looking to make a permanent move to Seoul to start my career in teaching.
As part of my degree, I had the opportunity to teach English in Shanghai for a year, where I gained experience with a range of class sizes, age groups and abilities. I taught from beginners level to business level English in 1:1 to 1:40 class sizes. I taught adults, Kindergarten and middle school students, where I planned my own lessons and developed my own teaching style. At first, it was difficult to adapt to such a range of styles, however after the first semester I became confident teaching in most contexts.
Additionally, I tutored English and Maths to Primary and Secondary school students in the UK for the duration of my degree. I worked with both high achievers and struggling students to help them prepare for their examination period. All of my students' grade averages and overall confidence improved, as did my own teaching style and lesson plans.
My degree also allowed to me receive a TEFL qualification, as well as to pursue research in language education, child psychology and globalisation.
I am a passionate and hardworking teacher, and hope to continue pursuing further experience and qualifications in teaching, such as an MA in TESOL in the future.
