I am writing this letter to express my interest in the ESL teaching positions available for late July, August and/ early September, 2024.
I am passionate about education and cultural sensitivity and I a strong desire to make an impact on student's lives through language learning. I love traveling and meeting with new people and learning about their different cultural backgrounds.
I currently hold a 4 year Bachelor of Health sciences in Environmental Health which I obtained from Durban University of Technology. I also completed a 120h TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Certificate with TEFL Universal.
I’ve worked as an Environmental Health Practitioner at the Airport where I was constantly interacting with passengers from different nations and helping them out with health protocols midst Covid 19 pandemic. I was also tasked with facilitating health educational programs among Airport employees and stakeholders. In late 2022, I was presented with an opportunity to work as an education assistant in my hometown primary school. My tasks included: supporting teachers with lesson planning and preparations as well as supporting the main teacher in managing behaviour in the classroom. This is where I got the opportunity to learn classroom and young learners behavioral management skills.
Although the above experiences may be less related to the ESL teaching industry, I believe that I can apply some of the relevant skills that I acquired from these two workplaces. Those skills include communication, interpersonal, presentations, creativity, report writing, classroom management and organizational skills.
South Korea especially stands out to me because of their rich cultural heritage and diverse traditions. Therefore working in Korea will provide me with an opportunity to be working while traveling and experiencing a different culture in another country.
I would love to be given an opportunity to further discuss how I can contribute to the Korean English learning institutions.
Yours Sincerely
Esihle Qegu
