Alex InHoo Yeum: The Oak Tree Project has raised around 2.5 million won last year. - This money will be used to help provide living expenses to orphaned students looking to go to college. - In the Philippines, I worked on helping building 5 story school. - For the Korean orphans, I created a school club where I ran various fundraisers with other international schools in Korea. For example, we began a swim meet project for the orphaned students in Korea. - In the Philippines, I interacted with orphaned children in a variety of activites, including going to the pool with them, donating clothes, and participating in praise. - I started the Oak Tree Project club in my sophmore year of high school, and I am continuing it until graduation. After graduation, we have plans to give leadership roles to underclassmen that will continue fundraising for orphans. - The Oak Tree Project is an existing organization in Korea, and my role was to bring this organization to light in different international schools across Korea.
Hello! My name is Ian Chae. I am a student at Seoul Foreign School in South Korea, and I am in 9th grade. I speak fluent Korean and English. I am told to be a very well-rounded student and a person who loves teaching and hanging out with children, particularly elementary school students. My most recent notable achievement is: Piano ABRSM grade 8 distinction score.
I scored 1510 on my SAT in late October 2022 and was on the high honor roll during my freshman year, with a GPA of 4.0. I was able to maintain these grades during my first semester of my sophomore year, which gained me the privilege of eligibility to apply for the National Honor Society. I started my own club at my school and am raising money for orphaned students wanting to pursue a higher learning. At school, I am also a student coach for the swim team, which has taught me the skills of leadership, commitment, and service. Although I am a novice in this type of volunteering work, I would love to teach students worldwide who may need someone like me to communicate and learn English.
I started off my first four years of school in korean public school. Then I studied abroad in Toronto, Canada for 3 years. When I came back to Korea I went to Seoul foreign british School for my last year of middle school, and now I am in Seoul Foreign High School. I never had any tutoring experience but I'm friendly with younger children because I volunteered for younger children help sessions and disordered / mentally ill children help session when I was in Canada.
