Casual Reliever
2016
Auckland, New Zealand
As a casual reliever for Auckland Edinburgh College in New Zealand I had to be extremely flexible and capable in my teaching abilities. The school catered to adults of all levels, from the very beginners to advanced conversation. I would be assigned any of those levels and would provide thorough, quality lessons in a short period of time.
Academic Coordinator and Administration
2013-2015
Seoul, South Korea
As the Academic Coordinator for The Princeton Review’s English center at the Hyundai Kia Motor Group’s world headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, I was required to be flexible and adaptable in my roles and duties. I was responsible for researching, planning, and implementing public speaking courses as well as daily news briefs for our
clients. I would regularly act as a one-on-one tutor for clients preparing for their Speaking Proficiency Enhancement Program exams. As an administrator I was responsible for relaying messages between clients, instructors, and off-site management, keeping said messages as clear and detailed as possible. I was also in charge of general maintenance and management of the center, be it organizing and streamlining inventories of textbooks and supplies, creating a welcoming environment, or collecting and entering data.
