As a recent graduate from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, I am eager to apply as an English teacher in Seoul, South Korea.
As a student, I took several classes involving the English language and have a certificate in Professional Writing, as well as one from a 120 Hour Advanced TEFL program. In addition to this, I also have an OPI level score of Intermediate-Mid in Japanese after only one year of study. In the Summer of 2018, I spent seven weeks in Japan, taking language classes and feel that my experiences there will have an impact on my teaching style in South Korea. It should be noted that I am currently teaching myself Korean, as well.
Attributes that make me a well-suited candidate include, but are not limited to:
• Motivation: Although I already have two Associates degrees, I went back to school for the sole purpose of applying to be an English Teacher in Seoul, South Korea. In addition to this, I have been self-studying the Korean Language.
• Adaptability: With my previous experience living in East Asia last summer, I feel comfortable making a life in Korea. Currently, I work as a server and am able to adjust myself to various customer needs and am more than happy to be placed outside of my comfort zone.
• Timeliness: I am not known as a procrastinator. I prefer to work diligently with deadlines and do not care to show-up to meetings late. I take care to ready myself for any type of situation and prefer to do my share of the work, if not more, because I am aware of the responsibility that is placed within me and do not want to let my coworkers down.
At Antioch College, I was well known as the student who completed their work quickly, diligently, and needed little guidance. My self-motivation drives me to be successful and I hope to represent that part of myself well in my future endeavors.
I am aware that the available teaching positions in Seoul, South Korea are scarce, especially for the inexperienced, but I would very much appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate my skills and further explain my qualifications.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I am an extrovert that loves good conversation. I am out going and creative. I have some experience in the classroom from when I taught a class of 10 year old for two months how to play percussion for winter drumline. I also taught 8th grade – 12th grade drumline during summer band camp. My background is video and audio so I am good at creating videos and audio that I could use in lessons. I would love an opportunity to come to South Korea and teach.

I am an enthusiastic and hard working person, I think that enthusiasm is a key quality to hold especially in teaching. Being enthusiastic and passionate about what you are teaching is crucial to engage students. I have had years of experience working with young people both in the UK in schools as well as in the United States of America working at a summer camp, which means i understand how to pace lessons, make lessons interactive and interesting and how to talk to all students at different levels.

To whomever this concerns,

I am looking for a teaching position for a 6 month contract from January to end of June. I have all the required documents necessary to apply for an E2 Visa.

I have for the last year lived in Japan on a WHV that expires in November. In this time I have lived in a variety of locations, but am now based in Tokyo. In Tokyo I have engaged myself in teaching, both children and adults from a variety of ages and backgrounds. This background in teaching foreigners English is vital and a transferable skill to teaching in South Korea. I would love to now work for a longer period teaching, and to engage myself in a new challenge of teaching in South Korea. The chance to work in such an amazing place is something that I am wholeheartedly interested in discovering!

I pride myself on my ability to adapt and to engage with my surroundings and my environment no matter the situation, pushing myself fully into whatever it is that I take part in. In Japan I have been involved in an abundance of jobs, activities and have been lucky enough to live in a variety of different prefectures and Islands across Japan's amazing landscape. This positive, can-do attitude is something that would come across perfectly to the students that I teach and the peers that I work with.

My commitment and dedication to my task can be seen in my degree, having graduated with a Masters from the University of Edinburgh and also the addition of a TEFL course to further hone my teaching skills. This passion for teaching is something that I love doing which is why I am currently teaching at a school in Tokyo.

I look forward to hearing back from any potential job offer, and desperately hope for the chance to teach in South Korea!

My goal is to provide an enriching and fulfilling educational experience to any student that I may have, and i believe i have the skills to do so. I excel at managing multiple tasks at once, and resolving them in an efficient manner. My work experience as an assistant manager of a retail nursery has given me the skills needed to effectively coordinate and motivate those around me to succeed. I am hardworking and willing to go above and beyond my responsibilities to ensure that anything that I do is of impeccable quality. I am formally educated, having achieved a Bachelors of Arts from a California State University, as well as specifically trained for this job, having already received a 120 hour TEFL certification. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello,
My name is Anna Munoz Rodriguez and I'm from San Antonio Texas, where I was born and raised.
I recently graduated from The University of Texas at San Antonio with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management. I have also completed a 200 hour TEFL Program (which includes teaching Young Learners and Business English), 20 hours of which are in-class hours. I also have a 30 hour certificate teaching English Online.

I don't have a lot of teaching experience. However, I recently started teaching English classes to adults at the Center for Refugee Services. I also began teaching English classes online to children located in China. Outside of my teaching hours, I work part time at the university I graduated from. Here, I am an administrative associate/receptionist where I handle a majority of student requests (and questions).
When I am not teaching, or working, I am usually reading or writing. I also take Korean Language classes (every Saturday!) at the Cultural Center near my house.

I am a hard-working, determined individual and I am more than confident in my abilities to teach at your school. I look forward to meeting you!

My desired location is Itaewon(Seoul)/Seoul, but I can be flexible with my location for the right school.

Even though I was born in Spain I hold a British passport – as both my parents are English. I have always
spoken English at home and I have spent every summer in the UK visiting family. I went to school in Spain and so I had to attend English classes with my classmates (even though I already spoke English at home), this gave me the advantage of seeing and understanding how English is taught to non-English speakers. I also gave English classes to children who needed extra support (children from 9 to 16 years old) as well as more mature students.
I am friendly, amiable, hardworking and creative.
I love to experience new things – I lived in Italy for a year and I have lived this past year in England doing my Master's Degree.

TEFL Position

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am excited to begin my journey as a TEFL teacher. I am a native English Speaker with a South African accent.

I have graduated from the University of Cape Town with a Bachelors of Social Sciences qualification in 2019. I also received my 140 hour TEFL  certification in July 2019.

Through my experiences I feel that teaching kindergarten learners would be the best position for me. I love being creative and making my lessons fun through colorful and interactive activities. I would love to be able to enrich young minds, helping them to better themselves, making life more accessible to my students.  I am confident as an educator and believe I am approachable and easy to talk to, which I feel is key to creating a good learning environment as well as being able to build a strong and trusting relationship with my students.

East Asia has always been on my travel list and being able to teach there would be a dream come true. I am recently married, with my wife and I having TEFL qualifications, it would be wonderful to teach together and start our TEFL careers together.

I appreciate your consideration, I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Faithfully,

Abdullah Khatieb

Hello,

I'm currently looking for (single) teaching positions in Korea, starting ASAP (or in the near future), with my preference being in Seoul; I was wondering if you had any suitable positions available.

I'm a native speaker, recent graduate and additionally I have completed a 120hour TEFL course. I have all my documents ready to go (including Bachelors Degree with apostille, Criminal record check with apostille and sealed university transcripts). This would be my first teaching role but I have held professional management roles, worked with the public and worked effectively as part of teams for many years now. I'm hard working, confident, plan ahead and I'm used to delivering to high standards. The chance to work in Korea and bring out the best in a classroom of students is a challenge that I look forward to.

I'm currently in the UK, so don't yet have a Korean visa but I'm ready to move upon confirmation of job, as soon as I am needed. If you're interested I can also forward any documents needed. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Kind Regards,

Jamie Ogle

Hello,

My name is Max Manayan and I have recently graduated from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I am looking to teach English in a Seoul hagwon for a year while I apply to graduate school. I have no formal teaching experience, but seeing as I have not been too far removed from the classroom setting, I believe I will be able to learn the ropes of teaching.

I spent the Spring semester of 2019 studying at Korea University in Anam and was able to familiarize myself with the culture. I appreciated every moment spent and would love to have the priviledge of returning to Seoul! In terms of skills, I have experience in both molecular biological and ecological research. I am interested in understanding the fundamentals of teaching, because I believe is an valuable skill applicable to any situation. Thus, I would love the opportunity to gain some real world experience in this coming year.

Thank you for your time,
Max Manayan

My philosophy of education is that all people are unique and this uniqueness creates a unique community in every classroom with a positive attitude, open minded, encouraging and ultimately inspiring, which makes a stimulating educational environment where students can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially where they can meet their full potential.
To achieve this there we have to keep it simple by keeping instructions clear and checking for student understanding, this way we can be sure that they know what must be done.
Giving them lots of time to practice makes them comfortable to use by talking and writing the language, using positive reinforcement remarks and celebrating student accomplishments also boosts their confidence.
I have a strong sense of making life and work easier for people working under difficult conditions with a tendency of seeing complexities of situations with a very selective behaviour pattern, making things simple which I like to believe is a good habit of quality control. I find it challenging to give something of importance for others to do; I tend to rather do it myself because of the highly developed level of competency. Change within the normal frameworks of work and life in general is something I handle very positively especially when there is a good reason behind the change. I have a very cautious but positive approach to new ideas and technologies, in a sense that if the new realities are convincing and realistic it is easy for me to adapt to them. I always push for a positive change by making myself available to actively work towards a better reality for all, becoming actively assertive to getting things done with structure and control measures.
I believe with the nature of my international work experience in India, which involved a great deal of learning, research, self-motivation, thinking outside the box and a wide range of skills, an understanding of industries was essentially given, so I can utilize my experience and skills to be well adept in this position I am applying for.

I do not have any direct experience with regards to education but have been heavily involved in working with children throughout my life. Potentially my best experience was as a first-year class mentor in secondary school. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting up weekly with the first-year students to talk about problems they were having in the year. It was our goal to ensure the switch from primary to secondary school was as seamless and as unintimidating as possible. We eventually became good friends with the younger students which they said allowed them to adjust easier to their new student life.

Apart from this I have babysat younger kids on many occasions as well as assisted my mam in her job as a physiotherapist by dealing with kids with physical and intellectual disabilities.

I am a naturally welcoming person and strive to be inclusive of everyone. I like to think that I present myself in a respectful and confident manner.

I have worked hard throughout my life to ensure that I achieve my fullest potential. My work ethic and determination has been commended during my various employments. This included work as a labourer in New York and Vancouver, a waiter working for a catering service and finally during two internships with Pfizer.

During these various jobs my communication and interpersonal skills improved greatly.
I have the utmost confidence that I will apply myself to a teaching job in a similar manner. I can ensure you that you will be satisfied with my employment.

I enjoy learning foreign languages. I started with French and took French for 5 years and even did French immersion in Quebec. I use my skills from learning my foreign languages to better understand my friends who have trouble with speaking or writing in English. Learning foreign languages has changed my view on how I look at the English language and how to present the way I speak and write to non-English speakers.

I am a highly passionate English literature graduate with 2 and a half years of
classroom experience alongside a TrinityCert TESOL certificate that I gained while studying at the English Teacher Training College in Austria. While studying there I was introduced to, and immersed in, a wide variety of educational theories and methodologies. My theoretical background in education was then complemented during my time in Austria where I was privileged enough to be given the opportunity to teach a widely divergent set of students that encompassed beginner level students to upper-intermediate level students (A1-B2 on the Common European Framework). In order to meet the language learning needs of such a disparate and contrasting set of learners I had to refine, adapt and successfully apply the methodologies I was introduced to. This experience has given me a rich grounding in education which has been perfectly complemented by my time at First Leap in China where my pre-existing theoretical knowledge has allowed me to successfully navigate the problems I faced in applying teaching methodologies to new students that have different learning needs, and possess a different linguistic structure than what I was previously exposed to when I gained my teaching qualification.

After a year and a half teaching for a nationally expanding teaching company in China – First Leap – I was awarded a promotion to Teacher Advisor after attending a rigorous management-based training course administered by my company. As a Teacher Advisor, I am responsible for the professional development of all teachers in four First Leap centers across Beijing. As a part of my role, I utilise my theoretical and practical teaching knowledge in one-to-one and group training while administering assessments of teachers to establish a consistently high level of teaching quality across the region.

Throughout my employment history in Austria and China I have proved I am very adaptable to new cultures, and I am ready to immerse myself in a new compelling culture to continue my personal and professional development.

Training skills: Very proficient in the assessment of organizational needs, research principles, health administration, programs and practices. Has a proven record of flexibility and adaptability to any teaching assignment or position. Life-long learner committed to professional excellence. Consistently recognized as a positive role model, leader and mentor.

Critical Thinking: Able to gather, assemble, and analyze data, draw conclusions, conduct analysis, revise recommended solutions, and package the entire process in briefings, papers, or reports suitable for senior leadership and use in decision making.

Communication Skills: Excellent relationship building skills, and teaching-learning skills. Able to listen and communicate with parents, students, staff, and community.

Management: Goal-driven work ethic, combined with solid team collaboration competencies and individual strengths utilizing sound follow-through and detail orientation to plan and manage classroom projects from conception to successful completion.

I am an independent, hardworking and outgoing person. I have recently completed my Bachelors degree in Business & German from Trinity College, Dublin. Experienced working as an individual or as part of a team in various fast-paced environments from the service industry to manufacturing.

I also have experience working with children. I volunteered to work on the Clongowes Special Children Holiday during the 2014 summer. During this period, I was personally responsible for the care of several young children with varying disabilities. I also worked for two summers as a state examinations supervisor and aide. I worked 1-on-1 supervising and helping students with learning disabilities sit their leaving cert examinations in special learning centres. In this role I was given a great deal of responsibility to ensure proper protocol was followed and to make certain the student received the appropriate amount of aid he/she was entitled to.

I feel my skills learned while working these jobs will help me in teaching children of all ages. I am also adept at learning new languages having achieved fluency in German. I hope this skill will translate well as I attempt to learn Korean during my stay. I have also lived away from home before, spending a year in Germany. This has allowed me to become more independent and I believe this makes me suited to dealing with the challenges that often come from living abroad.
