Experience Profile:

I have been teaching elementary, middle school, high school, university, and adult students in South Korea for several years now. I have taught Comprehensive English for more than 4 years in South Korea and China. Formerly, I taught Comprehensive Business English to executives working in the Industrial Trade, Chemical, or Power Industries in Korea.

In the People’s Republic of China, I formerly taught the senior-level engineering staff at Kangtai Biological Co. Ltd. an intensive Comprehensive Business English course for 4 months. My former post as a visiting professor in the Faculty of Education at Shenzhen University (PRC) occurred during the 2002/2003 academic year. Furthermore, I have taught  adolescent through university level students a Comprehensive English course at the Guangzhou South China English School, located on the campus of Shenzhen University.

I can create daily lesson plans, syllabus outlines, and teach from a regular self-directed curriculum. Outside of my regular classroom teaching hours, I spend time editing student assignments or correcting tests and weekly quizzes and monthly exams. I love my job teaching! I look forward to teaching for years to come in South Korea.
