Taught English to Korean students. Designed lesson plans and activities. Created an interactive learning environment based not on rote memorization but on a student-oriented curriculum that appealed to all types of learners: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.

Edited reports for grammar and spelling. Kept contact with people who wrote the reports to ask for clarification, to ensure the final product was as complete, clear, and informative as possible. Edited reports under a philosophy of concision and simplicity, while at the same time ensuring the client had all the information they needed to make a decision.

Taught elementary school-aged children in after-school program. Designed and oversaw lessons and activities. Designed lessons about good hygiene, dietary principles, study habits, and other positive behaviors, disguised as fun games and projects. Worked under the philosophy that children should learn without realizing they are learning. They thought they were playing a fun game to win points and prizes, but in fact they were learning important attitudes to help them become good students and healthy, successful people.
