I am interested in the English language teaching position abroad in South Korea. I am known to be a reliable hardworking individual that is always happy and positive. My passion for teaching stemmed from volunteering as an associate member for NCS which is a personal and social development programme for 15-17 year-olds in the UK. I had to conduct ice breakers, help design a social action project as well as support students in various physical, educational and social activities. I demonstrated my excellent team working skills, problem-solving skills and I believe I had the ability to motivate and inspire the students. I believe I have had a lot of experience in teaching EFL informally which involved practising conversational English at different levels, correcting English homework as well as helping with preparation for the TOEIC exam.

I have recently graduated from the University of Sheffield with a 2:1 honours in Korean Studies. During my degree I was able to study at Hanyang University and experience living in South Korea. As you can tell from my degree, I have a genuine interest in Korea and its beautiful culture. As I have previously lived in Korea, I know what to expect and would like to learn more about Korea and travel to places I have never explored before. Due to the combination of my desire to teach and my love for Korea, I believe Korea is the best place for me to teach EFL. I believe if given the opportunity to teach EFL in Korea, I can develop and further my career in teaching. The most rewarding thing is to see prospective students progress in the English language.

As I have a large family it means that I interact with a lot of young children very often. I am known by family and friends as getting along well with kids, making up exciting stories, leading fun activities as well as giving good discipline when needed. I have a bright personality, a lot of energy and patience. I hope that I am able to have the opportunity to bring these qualities into a classroom and make learning a fun and educational experience for students.
