I am writing to express my keen interest in the English as a Second Language (ESL) teaching position advertised on the TEFL.org website. With an educational background in languages and extensive experience in student support and online tutoring, I am eager to contribute to your esteemed institution and assist learners in achieving their language goals.
Since May 2021, I have been tutoring on Cambly, where I develop engaging lesson plans and provide adaptive feedback. My role leverages online technology to enhance student engagement and track progress, ensuring a relaxed and accessible learning experience. This position has sharpened my ability to adapt teaching methods to diverse learning needs and to build rapport with students, while enhancing their language fluency and confidence.
As an International Student Advisor, I have interacted with students from a variety of cultural backgrounds, enhancing my cultural awareness and sensitivity—key attributes for any ESL teacher. My empathetic approach has enabled me to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
Working as a Test Center Associate, you need clarity and patience: I’ve demonstrated the ability to explain processes clearly and patiently—an invaluable skill when teaching language, which often requires repeating and rephrasing information to ensure comprehension.Enabling me to establish rapport and build relationships with individuals from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
My academic background in French and Chinese has deepened my understanding of language acquisition challenges and enhanced my empathy towards students' learning obstacles. Additionally, my role as Communications Officer for the Chinese Society and various volunteering activities have developed my organisational and communication skills.
I am also certified with a 140-hour TEFL certificate, which has prepared me to effectively teach English to speakers of other languages. My linguistic skills include a B2 level in French and an HSK3 level in Mandarin Chinese, which I believe would be beneficial in a multicultural educational setting.
The prospect of gaining hands-on experience in a company which would allow me to contribute to social change excites me and I am committed to making a meaningful contribution to your team.
Thank you for taking the time to read my cover letter. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your consideration.
