Melanie Torreon's TEFL Articles
Melanie Torreon
Melanie's initial goal was to teach and travel after graduating from college in 2010 but she decided to go the career route first. She was a public school teacher for about six years. It wasn't until her husband had an inkling to teach abroad and travel and he encouraged Melanie to fulfill that goal as well. He already had his TEFL certificate, so she applied for hers, and they both decided to venture out together. Melanie now teaches English to children ages 5-11 at a hagwon in Yongin, South Korea.
