About Me

Hello! Like many graduates I've been stuggling to find work so thought I should find work elsewhere and give this course a go! I've recently completed the 120hr combined course and now I am on my way to Seoul, South Korea to teach english!! Yay x

Teaching and living in Seoul...1 year on!

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't blogged in a VERY long time. Been busy with work, partying, travelling around Asia :) It has been exactly 1 year since I first stepped in Korea, so I thought now would be a good time to write about my experiences so far! Teaching: I teach 4th, 5th and 6th graders in an elementary school west of Seoul. Its been a very up and down experience. Most of the students...

First blog in Korea!!!

Hi everyone! Sorry for the very late blog. The past few weeks have been crazy and its only now that I've started to settle down a bit and found time to write this, so here it goes! The orientation has been great! I met LOADS of people. I never thought I'd have good talks with a single person before I got there, but no... I was fine! I was also amazed at conversations about my...

Hello I am wondering if you can help me with checkpoint 5, question 9 as I can not think of a suitable game, I would appreciate your help if you have the time, thank you!

Aha i found a template at the bottom of the application so i will use that for them :) Almost filled in the application form now, some funny questions about how many servings of alcohol do i consume a week ^^ I have to confront the 500 word essay on why i want to live and work in South Korea soon should be fun. Any tips?

Thanks Wendy thats great :) Do you know if they actually contacted your recommendees? My employer rules are really long on gaining a reference however character references and recommendations are fine, but just depends on what they actually ask him afterwards. I have scheduled a call with ESL Starter i will ask them aswell just thought i'd pick your brain :)

Hi Wendy i have spoken to ESL starter and they have sent me the initial information for the application. I just wondered what is required to be put in the letter of recommendation, i know that they have to put in the info about their address contact numbers etc on headed paper but do they have to write a reference in there? Thanks in advance


Ashley :)

When are you thinking of coming?


TOP is just so cool, I love his attitude. For the record, all Korean guys are so hot. I love them all!

hey wendy, my name is angie. I heard u passed the checkpoint 4. any tips? I'll be greatful if u can help me please!

Hi Wendy,


 


I'm glad you passed!  Well done!


 


 

Hello Wendy,


 


It's difficult for me to help you here without giving you the answers (and also the aim of the task is to get you to think about handling difficult situations).  Try to just imagine what you would do in these situations and your tutor will guide you in the right direction.


I hope you enjoy the rest of the course!



Emma

I'm doing checkpoint 3 at the mo! stuck on Q11 :(
