About Jakob Quaka:
I am a recent graduate of the University of Northern Colorado. I want to become an English teacher and travel the world to help people in any way that I can. I found this passion for teaching and traveling when I had the opportunity to study abroad in Canberra, Australia. During this time, I was able to tutor my roommates in English and fell in love with doing so. I want to continue to do this since I believe that helping people is the best way to gain happiness. I have been teaching/tutoring for 3 years now and I have also coached baseball for around 7 years in total. I have attained the patience to teach both young kids and young adults. In addition to this, I have observed ESL classes at my former high school this past year. I am currently learning Japanese and hope to be able to use what I know to help myself navigate life. My dream would be to live and teach English in Japan. I do firmly believe in communication is a big impact on learning a new language and strive to have my lesson consist of this idea. I love being able to help people and with teaching, I can do this. Along with this, I also enjoy traveling, meeting new people, and learning about the cultures and history of different nations. Overall, I am looking forward to teaching and traveling the world.
Experience
- ESL Private Tutor - Freelance - February 2022 to Present Day
- Private Peer Tutor - University of Canberra - August 2019 to December 2019
- Service Valet - Kuni Lexus - September 2017 to July 2019
- Baseball Coach - May 2014 to July 2021
All of these jobs, besides service valeting, have had to deal with either coaching or teaching some sort of topic to people. I have helped people from 10 years of age to 22 years of age in different aspects of schooling as well as life. The experiences that I have gained from this have helped me develop myself to become a better teacher each day.
