I am an enthusiastic and motivated teacher looking to join a school in Seoul later this year.
I have been fortunate have experience of tutoring children at a prestigious school in London (references available), which has given me valuable experience of assessing learning needs, choosing appropriate lessons and tasks, and motivating students. For example, one of my students had extremely good English skills, but he lacked confidence. With him, I concentrated on finding topics we could work on that related to his own interests so that he was more forthcoming when he spoke. Another student was very confident speaking but he lacked precision, so I concentrated on exercises that required him to use particular pieces of grammar. Both showed a marked improvement. I have also volunteered with my husband's Boy Scout Troop, who are aged 10+, which has given me extra experience working with young people.
Outside of the classroom, I have extensive work experience that I believe will help me be a good teacher. I am extremely organised and reliable, and am used to balancing a busy workload with my interests (pilates, running, reading and learning Korean!). I have very good IT skills and am confident writing and presenting material.
I have ten years of experience in public service so I am confident that I have the skills and temperament to thrive in the classroom. I have visited ROK three times before and love it there – i can't wait to come to Seoul again! My husband will be working in Seoul too and we are very excited to spend more time in the country that has been so welcoming to us.
