Wil, English Teacher

Hello, 

I have been teaching in Korea for over 18 months now as an English teacher. I am now looking for part-time work so I have more time to focus on my school studies. I am very interested in the Korean culture and language and want to use this year to increase my Korean language ability, with hopes of being accepted into a masters program at a Korean university. Previous to my time in Korea, I was training for the 2012 Olympic games for swimming in Canada. I was a top ranked national swimmer for over 5 years and during that time was able to use my knowledge of swimming to teach others how to swim. This is where my love for teaching started and I decided to move from the pool to the classroom once I had completed my swimming career.  I love teaching all different ages and have found this career to be both rewarding and exciting. I hope to continue developing my teaching skills and knowledge in hopes of being the best teacher I can for my students, and for my own self development. 

I have been teaching in Korea for over 18 months. I have experience teaching all ages of students from 5 to 16 years old as well as some experience teaching adult students. I worked a full year contract to completion as a kindergarten teacher and learned invaluable skills of how to manage classes, and how to teach students who have little or no English speaking ability. I am constantly studying the English language and trying to improve my own undersanding of the best methods to teach others.
