Paige: United Kingdom: Jul 31, 2022

Teaching English as a Foreign Language has always appealed to me; combining my passion for teaching and education with my desire to explore new places and cultures. Working as a playworker, a TLSA and now as a Trainee teacher, my career path as an educator is still continuing to unfold before me. By July 2022, I will have earned my PGCE in Primary Education and will gain qualified teacher status, in addition to my experience in the education field of over 5 years.
Whilst educating in a broader sense has been appealing, I have always had a specific interest in languages; learning both Chinese and French in school, undertaking Japanese through self-study and having a love for the intricacies of the English language. As someone so absorbed in different languages, I feel that my experiences are easily reversable, and will enable me to be an effective EFL teacher myself.
During the initial COVID 19 lockdown, I began researching TEFL in more depth, and undertook a 168-hour Level 5 TEFL course in this time.
As a confident, hard-working and enthusiastic person, I can truly thrive in a lively classroom environment. I pride myself on my punctuality and professionalism, and feel that my sensitivity to cultural differences would benefit me in South Korea. I consider teaching a career that is a great fit for me, as I find expanding on my knowledge and solving problems incredibly fulfilling. This love for learning has ultimately led me to find teaching so rewarding. My passion for languages will help me take this to the next level, and hopefully begin my TEFL journey in Korea.
