Hey, everyone! My name is Jalen aka “Jelly Teacher”. Being a former teacher, I enjoyed teaching but decided to transition to something new, so this blog will be a place where I’ll share my thoughts as posts and my knowledge as writing projects. My hope is that, after reading my blog, you leave having learned something new! Enjoy!
Education
I have a Bachelor of Arts in English from Middle Georgia State University. I love literature and language. My studies taught me to think critically about books and improved my writing skills. University deepened my understanding of English and my passion for storytelling.
Experience
As a CELTA-certified English teacher in South Korea for seven years, I had the privilege of sharing my passion for the language and culture with eager students. Through interactive activities and a supportive environment, I witnessed their growth and fostered connections that left a lasting impact. My time in South Korea as a teacher was a transformative experience that enriched both my personal and professional life.
