PERSONAL STATEMENT

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you more about myself. I am a New Zealander who came to Korea from teaching in Scotland. I originally went to the UK on a semi-professional rugby contract in 1999.

I have a wide range of interests and hobbies. I play in a competitive cricket league in Korea. I have had extensive rugby experience as both a player and coached various teams including junior, senior and woman’s teams. These experiences have enabled me to deal with different situations and a diverse group of people. Other interests include snowboarding, music, reading and outdoor activities including boating, rafting and walking. I have recently entered a number of running races with my goal to complete a marathon by 2013

I believe that as an English teacher I bring an enthusiastic, innovative and dedicated approach. I believe I create an excellent environment for learning and actively encourage students to do the best they can. I use a wide range of teaching methodology and am very active in the classroom. I am competent in the use of ICT and have had training in the use of interactive boards which I use extensively.

I would really like the opportunity to bring to you, my unique personality and the skills that I have to offer both professionally and personally.
