My name is Andrew Koloup I am applying to be an English Language teacher in Cape Town because I have an innate eagerness to build relationships that transcend language barriers. I am devoted to a career of educational development to provide international opportunities for people everywhere through a communal language goal. I have specifically chosen this program because both the student population and formal environment are of incredible stature, and I am confident a mutually beneficial relationship could develop at this institution. Although I have never before set foot in South Africa, I have been to 14 countries in my life, and in university I befriended a South African exchange student who inspired me to expand my teaching to South Africa.
