Hali: United States: May 01, 2019

I am Hali Wetzel and I am very excited for the opportunity to apply for this position. I am passionate about working with young students, especially students learning English. I have a Bachelors of Arts in English from Northern Arizona University with a specific focus in linguistics, which has fueled my interest in teaching English to speakers of other languages. I have worked in classroom settings for nearly two years, both in the United States and abroad. I have taught English is an elementary school in Peru and worked in a kindergarten classroom in the United States. I have also worked with university level students in a classroom setting. Living and working in South Korea perfectly suits my passion for teaching English and my interest in exploring a new culture.

I believe in providing a style of education that sets students up for success. Teachers should provide students with the resources and passion to learn. This is especially critical in elementary school. Through modeling, guided practice, and hands-on education, I can provide students with the tools they need to successfully learn the English language. I have written lesson plans that are adjusted for different learners. I can adapt lessons and bring universal design for learning into the classroom. I work well with other teachers and students. Collaboration is very important in education and I can work well with other teachers and administrators. I am open to feedback and eager to grow as a teacher. I believe I am a qualified candidate for this position who would be a valuable member of your team.
