Rachel: United States: Aug 12, 2019

I have a bachelor's degree in International Studies from the University of Florida, which is one of the top public schools in the United States. During my time at UF, I was inducted into the prestigious PBK honor society. I take my education very seriously, and would love to spread my love of learning. I am extremely interested in traveling and immersing myself in new cultures, and I would love the opportunity to teach in Korea. At university, I spent 4 years learning Italian, so I have personal experience in trying to learn a second language and could use my own background to improve my teaching style. I am currently enrolled in a 120-hour TEFL course, and anticipate finishing my certification in late July. I also have years of experience in customer service and am happy to work with others to foster a positive environment.

Starting at age 16, I began working at a grocery store, and then worked at a daycare center while I attended school, and I am excellent at working with children of all elementary ages. My mother is a private school teacher and I often volunteer to help assist in her 2nd grade classroom, so I have experience with teaching methods and enjoy working with children.

I consider myself a happy and bubbly person, and I hope that my students would feel comfortable in the learning environment I provide for them, and I would always encourage them to try their best and personally would do everything I could to ensure their success.
