Experience
A California-born&raised Korean-American teacher looking for students in need of expert tuition. ________________________________________________________________________ ● Abundant experience since 2010 Taught international students attending American/ British schools based in the US and Paris, France. ________________________________________________________________________ During my 8 years of residence in Paris, France, I have served as a middle school and high school teacher at the city’s largest private American school. I have gained wonderful and significant experience while teaching English, Literacy, Honors World Literature, and College Prep to the international younger generations. ________________________________________________________________________ Remarkable improvement in academic performance is guaranteed. I have helped numerous students gain admission to top-choice colleges (read below for further information). ________________________________________________________________________ I tutor students of all ages and abilities in a variety of classes - literature, history, social studies, college preparatory classes e.g. SAT, IB, AP, and particularly writing - I have worked with a myriad of students who’d had difficulties with essays and academic writing; after months of training guided by my teaching methods, they have all seen great improvements. All students can be good at writing, with no exception. In my class, I create learning environments that encourage experimentation and discovery and use methods that enrich the student’s logical, critical thinking, and expressions. ________________________________________________________________________ In order to help them achieve their academic goals with efficiency, I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs and construct a program for them to both tackle their difficulties as well as enhance their capabilities. I will use a mixture of tailored questions and teaching methods to cater to the student individually, as well as adding in the preparation that I have been using which helped a great number of my students achieve their academic goals and get into the world’s top universities (Cambridge, LSE, UPenn, Stanford, Yale, UC Berkeley, Tokyo University, King’s College London, etc.) ________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, ________________________________________________________________________ * Grade 8 and below: 60-80 minutes per lesson - egp 500 to 650 (egp 50 discount per lesson if taken 8+ lessons per month) ________________________________________________________________________ High school juniors / seniors and adults: 90-120 minutes per lesson - egp 750 to 850 (egp 50 discount per lesson if taken 8+ lessons per month) ________________________________________________________________________ * I don’t teach online.
