Teaching Experience
Gimhae Foreign Language High School
High School
2022-2025
During my three years at Gimhae Foreign Language High School (GIMFL), I had the privilege of teaching advanced English to highly motivated students. I focused on refining their language skills through immersive lessons that emphasized critical thinking, academic writing, and effective communication.
My classes were designed to challenge students, preparing them for university-level English and international opportunities. I incorporated diverse materials, including literature, current events, and debates, to foster a deeper understanding of the language. At GIMFL, I was proud to support some of Korea's top students in achieving their academic and personal goals.
Korean Public Middle Schools
Various Locations
2015-2022
During my seven years teaching in Korean public middle schools, including schools such as 한얼중, 김해대동중, 진례중, 장유중, 진영여중, 생림중, and 한림중, I developed a strong foundation in creating engaging and effective English lessons for students at varying proficiency levels. I focused on fostering a supportive classroom environment where students could build confidence in their language abilities through creative, student-centered activities.
I designed interactive lessons that combined speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each class. My teaching emphasized practical language use, encouraging students to apply their English skills in real-world contexts. By incorporating games, group activities, and personalized feedback, I motivated students to take an active role in their learning while achieving measurable progress. My time in middle schools strengthened my ability to connect with learners, inspire curiosity, and lay the groundwork for their future success in English education.
Crafting Online Education Experiences
Before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, I created engaging and insightful online learning opportunities for students. These took the form of direct instruction through programs like Zoom, but also through lovingly-crafted videos that carry a modern style that students find both familiar and novel in their teaching approach.
The collection of videos available on my Phillip Teacher YouTube channel showcase some of the online learning experiences that I've created for my students over the years.
