I have a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts and Sciences from the University of Illinois where I earned a GPA of 3.65. I believe this reflects my passion for learning and how hard working I am. I also have received a TEFL certification of 180 hours from the International TEFL Academy in Chicago. This certification class was very thorough and taught me many important aspects about being an English teacher abroad, from making lesson plans to teaching grammar to creating a good classroom environment, and thus, I feel I am extremely prepared to be an excellent English teacher. My TEFL certification class also contained 10 practicum hours where I observed and taught English classes to adult English learners in the Chicagoland area ranging from the beginner level to the advanced level. I have also over a year of experience teaching both in a school in Korea, as well as for an online teaching company. I am able to make detailed lesson plans, help students with grammar, pronunciation, and comprehension. I absolutely loved teaching these students and am now confident I will be able to teach people from another country efficiently as well as engage them with my lessons and class content. I also taught an intensive TOEFL test preparation class, so I am able to teach TOEFL as well. I am a very hard-working and responsible person and have always been committed to producing the best work I can with any job I do. Through various part time jobs working at coffee shops and my university’s library I have learned the importance of organization, efficiency, hard-work, and communication with co-workers, employers, and customers and believe I am an exceptionally good employee. I am very passionate about teaching English.
