Oliver: United Kingdom: May 31, 2018

I would like to pursue a career teaching English as a foreign language. I have some good commercial experience ranging from working in sales, to being a tourist representative for a holiday company. I have completed a 120-hour combined classroom and self-study TEFEL course with 2 extra add ones a 30-hour business English course and a 30-hour young learner add on, both off these were online study.

The Course Director Joe Hallwood noted that I have demonstrated a keen interest in the topics covered. I have developed a confident style of teaching. I have shown ability to establish rapport in class and I have responded well to suggestions. I am also very meticulous and have good attention to detail. I like my lessons to be well structured and show good direction, so I would be sure to construct well detailed lesson plans for each lesson. My though nature would make sure I cover all off the chosen curriculum.

I have also worked with a range of different age groups of people, from working with young people when I was an assistant Scout leader to working with adults in many other jobs I have participated in. I have also engaged in many extracurricular activities such as the Duke of Edinburgh Gold award. This award involves participating in lots of outdoor pursuits such as hill walking and playing sports such as Badminton, which I chose. So, with my combined work experience, I feel I would make an excellent TEFEL teacher.
