Personal Statement

For the last eight years I have been preparing Korean and Mongolian students to take the American SAT, thrive in US universities and master TOEFL writing exams. As a professor at Ewha Womens University in Seoul, South Korea, I taught university students to understand academic reading, prepare and write academic papers and to organize logical arguments. In addition to working at Ewha in Seoul, I have extensive experience in private tutoring having tutored elementary, middle and high school students in writing and reading. Prior to going abroad, I taught Bible and Geography classes at a private middle and high school in Virginia. At the American high school level I have also served as a thesis advisor helping students through every step of researching, planning, writing and editing 15-20 page essays. Furthermore, in Mongolia I worked with students new to the English language. We began with the alphabet and worked together through proficiency in the language. I am a certified TESOL instructor with a B.A. in Religion, Philosophy and East Asian Studies, an M.A. in Intercultural Studies and am currently working on a second M.Div in preparation for work on a PhD. I am a lifelong learner and career teacher who has worked at every level and in many environments to help students like you excel in the study of the English language.
