Experience

Volunteered at an after-school program for elementary school students who wanted/needed help with their homework (essentially a homework club) Volunteered for two years as a Sunday School teacher, also assisted with preparation of holiday performances and weeklong events. Taught English in Korea for 2.5 years to elementary and middle school-aged children. Levels varied from beginner to highly advanced/fluent. Also managed approximately 15 instructors.

Hobbies

I am an avid reader and enjoy various genres. I also enjoy watching dcoumentaries and reading a wide variety of magazines/periodicals. I have a 3.5-year-old Yorkie that came with me from Korea to Seattle (my hometown) and now currently lives with me. Although I am comfortable tutoring/teaching people of any age, I truly enjoy tutoring/teaching children because I believe that I am a child at heart. I helped raise my baby sister since I was 9 I believe that allowed me to become a natural teacher. I love to motivate, share knowledge and foster skills/talents that children are capable of improving/refining. I plan to go return to school to either become a child psychologist or go into public school education policy.
