I am a motivated, dedicated and pro-active qualified accountant seeking an English teaching position. I am currently in the process of finalising the Level 5 TEFL Certification with the TEFL Academy (70% complete).
My professional experience to date primarily lies in the fast-paced financial services industry where I was responsible for leading teams in the provision of risk-based services for clients in a multitude of industries. Working in a training accounting firm has ensured that I have excellent communication skills and am experienced transferring knowledge to less experienced peers to ensure that their skillsets are developed and their own goals are achieved. This type of work has provided me with excellent communication and organisation skills, as well as problem solving, remaining calm in challenging situations and the ability to adapt to changing teams and projects.
I have experience providing training to colleagues on numerous occasions on various topics that include quality assurance, project management and stakeholder management. I have also volunteered as part of an Irish literacy programme teaching young students (age 10/11 years) about strong female characters. Additionally, I am a volunteer with special olympics Ireland and assist a local club with their athletics training.
Furthermore, I have two special needs younger brothers who I care for on a part time basis so am therefore extremely comfortable working with children and people with special needs.
I have a passion for exploring different cultures and sharing my own culture with new people and am excited to take a break from my current career in finance and pursue teaching English in Asia.
I feel that I have the right attitude for this position and skills which can greatly contribute to a teaching role. I hope that you will consider my application seriously.
Many thanks,
Jennifer
