Please accept my application for a teaching position in Seoul, South Korea. I have recently completed the CELTA course in Barcelona, passing with a ‘Grade B’, only given to approximately 10% of students. This course has kick started my enthusiasm and passion to continue my teaching experience and I am determined to progress and improve the abundance of skills learnt during those 5 weeks. During the CELTA course, I had the pleasure of observing experienced CELTA and DELTA tutors conducting brilliant lessons to give firsthand insight into how to correctly plan and execute English lessons. My progression was highly praised by both my tutors and peers, and each lesson I implemented the feedback given from my previous lessons. I taught 2 classes ranging from B1 to C1 level from students aged from 16 to 70. I believe I have learnt how to plan, deliver and execute high standard lessons ranging from vocabulary, grammar, listening and reading to speaking and writing aims.

I am interested in a teaching position in Seoul as I want to expand my teaching skills, immerse into a new culture, new traditions and learn a new language. I believe I will be a great asset to a Hagwon school as I am reliable, organised and a very hard worker. I put 100% into everything I do, as shown by winning the ‘Best Dissertation’ award during my university studies and my CELTA grade. I am a very positive and helpful person, and therefore believe I will be a great colleague to other teachers.

Thank you for your time to review my application.

Yours sincerely,
Riannon Burnell
