I enjoy helping students overcome struggles and obstacles they face when trying to learn a new concept. In the past, I have tutored children from elementary and secondary schools in writing, reading, and math. In addition, I volunteered at an early childhood learning center where I would read out loud to the children, create crafts about American holidays with them, and play games that enforced concepts they learned in their lessons.
I believe that children must have a simulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, and socially. My desire is to create an atmosphere where students can meet their full potential in learning & speaking English. As a teacher, I want to empower and provide students the confidence they need to be able to speak English outside the classroom and use it in their future endeavors.
Since English is the dominant international language of the 21st century, it is important for students to be taught in an innovative way. Using technology will allow for the students to be prepared for the global engagement they will experience in the real world.
Teaching in Korea will allow me the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a classroom environment in a new region and continue to fostering this culture exchange and awareness between the students and myself.
