Hello, my name is Valerie and I graduated from university in 2017 with a degree in Classical and Archaeological studies. My first language is English and I have always been educated in it. moved to England several years ago to live and complete my studies. Currently, I am in Korea, having moved here 3 months ago to work at a hagwon.
While I currently work as an English Instructor at a hagwon, I did work in education prior to coming to Korea. This was as a 1-to-1 Learning Support Assistant to Visually Impaired Students. I did a lot of specialist adaptation and this kind of work is what made me want to continue working in education as it brings me joy to see students improve.
I have a range of interests outside work. One of my main interests is visiting museums, stemming from my love of history. Another hobby of mine is cooking and other interests include a range of sport including fencing, archery, skiing and kendo. Furthermore, as history is one of my passions, I have volunteered in a library close to home as well as participating in an archiving project with the National Archives.
In addition to these interests and passions, I have developed various skills throughout my education and employment. These skills include critical thinking, communication and presentation. As well as this I am a friendly, hard-working and organised person who does not give up easily until the task is completed to a standard that I am satisfied with.
