I have a bachelor's in Ecology from the University of Georgia, and a TEFL certificate from The TEFL Academy. I have all my documents ready including apostilled background check, diploma, and passport. I'm very excited about the opportunity to teach English in Korea.

I have a background in accounting, but I do also have some experience teaching. I was a graduate teaching assistant at New Mexico Highlands University for one year, where I was grading students' assignments and holding office hours once a week. Later on, I worked at the Athens Georgia YMCA for 2.5 years as a lifeguard, and also teaching swimming lessons to children ages 6-12 and adults. I believe I'm a naturally good teacher. Since I'm a naturally inquisitive person and I love to learn new things, my teaching philosophy is to try to tap into students' natural curiosity and get them excited about the learning process.

I am a friendly and open-minded person, and I do well in a team dynamic. The reason I'm interested in a hagwon job is that I've heard it's a good place to start one's teaching career. I would prefer to teach primary, but am open to teaching some kindergarten classes if the job requires it.
