My name

I am currently
in Seoul.
My
contact information is at the very bottom, should you have any queries.
Thank you

I am 3rd generation Canadian;
born/raised/educated in Western Canada. My Mother is of French lineage, and my
Father was of German descent. I have worked for ten years in Canada, and worked
in East Asia for many years.
Previously I taught adults under the Vancouver School Board. Co-ran a grade school in Asia for 2 years. Wrote two grade school level textbooks. 2 years experience teaching English in Korea, including teaching English, Science, and Math at an international school in Seoul.
My degree
is in Math (BSc: University of Victoria, Canada), and earned a MBA from del la Salle. Most of my background has been in
the IT field. That said I am no stranger to writing, having written
requirements documents, user guides and a textbook (for grade school). Also, I
am a member of a number of TESL related organizations, such as, TESLEJ-L, ELTASIA-L,
ESLCC, and EST-L. In my previous
career, teaching was very much part of the work; teaching new staff, and
teaching users, as well as group activities like chairing meetings, and making presentations.
Most of
the past 10 years has been spent abroad; Korea (2 years), Austria (6 months), Hong Kong (1
month), New Zealand (1 month), Taiwan (1 month), Singapore (1 year), and the
Philippines (several years).
Being a
Canadian, my accent is neutral. Being divorced with no children means greater
freedom, and fewer distractions.Being
patience and knowing the challenges of communicating in another language means
I can better relate to the student.
I would
be interested in teaching positions;
- Seoul; from Incheon to Kang-nam.
- middle, high school, adult or business English
preferred
- teaching English, Math, Electronics, Science, History, Computer Science, Business English, or IT related English.
- salary of 2.2+ million per month (I am popular with parents and students!)J
- and the usual enticements (W 750,000 instead of return airfare, 30
hour week, over-time at W 20,000/hr, cap of 8 hours admin per month, full visa run expense coverage)
I offer;
- BSc (from a leading Canadian university)
- very good writing, speaking skills
- organized, diligent work habits
- leadership skills
- prior teaching experience
- ability to teach other subjects, or
English related subjects
- proven ability to adapt to other (Asian)
cultures
- good health
Sincerely,
Ken
