To whom it may concern,
I am writing to express my interest in an ESL job in South Korea that I've seen advertised on your website.
To introduce myself, I’m a French & Italian BA graduate of The University of Manchester in the UK. I most recently worked in technology sales in London, though I’m looking for a career change from August 2021.
I hold an 120 hour TEFL qualification, and in the past have completed numerous placements at primary schools in the UK where I taught a variety of subjects to children aged 4-9, often with a focus on children who require slightly more aid in the classroom.
Training and teaching have also formed key parts of my professional experience in both the military and sales, so again I’m confident of my capability to teach. On top of this, excelling in technology sales and the Royal Navy demonstrates my consistency as a top performer, communicator, hard-worker, team player and leader, and key contributor inside and outside the immediate job description. I can provide references on request to speak to this as well.
On a more personal note, languages have always been a hobby of mine, hence my degree in French & Italian. I've spent a lot of time in classrooms as a student being taught languages, and therefore I have a strong understanding of what works well in different settings, what doesn't, and how different students respond to different methods.
Something else to note: I've been teaching myself Korean for the last two years in my free time, and particularly since lockdown hit, I’ve been able to make great strides with this. Whilst I’m not fully competent in speaking at the moment due to lack of people to practice with, I can read, write and understand to a good standard, though I’m learning more everyday.
I believe I've also already acquired the documents necessary for the E2 Visa: the apostile stamped degree certificate and criminal background check.
I visited South Korea in Summer 2019 on holiday, and I’m keen to return ASAP. Having lived in both France & Italy during my studies, I have experience in adapting to a new culture, new language and new surroundings far from home, and I'm ready for South Korea to be my next move.
I'm highly organised, ambitious and enthusiastic, and this programme stands out as something I would love to be involved in.
Thanks in advance for your consideration,
Alexandra Saunders
