What I'm looking for

I’m looking to teach ESL in a supportive environment where I can use differentiated, inquiry-based lessons and EdTech/LMS to help every student grow academically and personally.

I’m an experienced ESL and Foundation Phase teacher with 6 years of international classroom experience. I’m passionate about inclusive, engaging education that supports students’ academic and personal growth.

In Korea, I’ve worked as a Native English Teacher across 3rd to 6th grade (ages 8–13) and also with 1st to 3rd grade (ages 13–16). I bring differentiated instruction, inquiry-based learning, and positive classroom management into every lesson.

I also completed roles beyond classroom teaching, including homeroom teaching (1st grade), reader/scribe/prompter support, and exam assistance for students ages 14–18 with various barriers to learning. I enjoy building cross-cultural communication skills and using technology integration (EdTech/LMS) to keep learning active.

Alongside teaching, I’ve contributed as a Copywriter and Editor for We Edit Podcasts, authoring show descriptions and notes and delivering editorial and proofreading services. I value preparation, feedback, and leadership—supported by EPIK ESL Training and current CPR training.
