I am a fun, enthusiastic and passionate person. I pride myself in doing a good job and making sure my students learn while having fun. I’ve been apart of a volunteer teaching work for 6 years to the present and have been teaching online as an English instructor to Koreans for almost 3 years. I teach students from as young as 3 years old all the way up to 65 and up. I am experienced in different cultures as I have taught students from different parts of the world as well. I speak English, Spanish and Russian.

My name is Thato Maboa and I recently completed 150 hour TEFL Course. I have 6 years working experience, 4 years from SMSNET-SA private company occupying position of PA to Managing Director. Through my multi tasking skills I was promoted to Project Manager position and later promoted to Office Admin position. I then landed a job at Mmola Investment Group private company occupying Finance Manager position for 2 years. Unfortunately the company had to liquidate. After looking for a job since 2017 , I then decided to further my studies through LearnTEFL. Throughout my TEFL course I've learned that education should not be taken for granted and therefore no child should be left behind on education. My strength is that I'm a hardworking collaborative individual who believes in synergy. My TEFL Course duration takes 6 months to complete and I once again exceeded my expectation and completed the course within a month. My weakness is that I'm a hard-worker and end up losing track of time due to work dedication.
I'm a fun loving caring person who welcomes any challenge that comes through as I believe I will again surpass my expectations. My greatest achievement will be to allow students to learn and surpass their expectation of learning English. I believe the more they communicate the language the more they will improve in writing, speaking, reading and listening.

My greatest achievement will be to allow students to learn and surpass their expectation of learning English. I believe the more they communicate the language the more they will improve in writing, speaking, reading and listening.

My strengths lie in my ability to communicate well with others, I use clarity and concision to convey my ideas. I am also a good listener, which is just as important. I am confident in myself and I am able to stand up in front of a group of people and channel that confidence into whatever I am talking about. I am a hard-worker but I am also easy-going, I like to balance the two and feel that it will be particularly important in the classroom.
I am very passionate about education, especially educating young people in a way that opens up unlimited opportunities for them. I am keen to fuse my passion for education and my interest in new cultures and ways of living while I work and live abroad. I believe that education is the way to change our world for the better and I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm and passion with the children and young people I will be teaching. I think that teachers are important for helping young people stand on their own feet and look at the world in a more open-minded way, which I hope to do.
I have experience informally teaching English to people of varying ability. Whilst volunteering at the Hope Café in Athens I helped people of all ages improve their English, I noticed that the children were particularly driven to reach a level of near fluency and so I dedicated much of my time to helping them. I also attended Conversation Club while at university, which involved helping the local refugees (from many different countries) improve their English. I believe that this has given me much needed experience of communicating with people who do not speak English as a first language.
I am currently studying a 120-hour combined TEFL course, during this course I have come to appreciate the challenges and rewards that come with teaching English as a foreign language. I have found it fascinating learning my native language from this perspective an it has given me a deeper appreciation of the language and the importance of teaching it well to others.

While I have no TEFL teaching experience, I do have experience in classroom and formal speaking settings. In my final semester of university, I served as a teacher assistant and would hold lectures when the professor had to step out and also held the review sessions before examinations.

In 2017 and 2018, I had spoken in La Romana, Dominican Republic, and Cancun, Mexico, respectively, for week-long lectures. During this time, I had classes of around 40-70 people per any given night.

I am a very open-minded person who is very interested in learning of new cultures. I enjoy the any chance I get to share what I know to help others, as well as learn something new myself.

I am a highly experienced teacher with over 32 years work in educational positions including Brunel University in London and several places abroad. I possess a Bachelor Degree, Master's Degree, CELTA certificate and TEFL Teacher Training Diploma. My last position was in China where for four years 2014-18, I worked in a combination role of Orchestral Conductor and English Teacher at No.2 High School in Hangzhou. I was also Senior Adviser to students wishing to study abroad and responsible for IELTS training and advising them on suitable universities for their course of study. I also created a ten-week course in Critical Thinking for these students. My general classes in English covered all four principal skills and were built around much group and task work to encourage speaking and confidence in students.
As a Senior Academic Adviser to Haida International, working as part of a team, I regularly trained new teachers and carried out hundreds of teacher evaluations for them in several Chinese cities. In Shenzhen, I set up their teacher evaluation program and trained the team who would be responsible for it. I also worked at university level in China at The Tourism College in Zhejiang. Several of my Chinese students are now studying in the UK, US and Ireland. I am also joint author of the TEFL in Action TEFL course. I use a wide range of tried and tested teaching ideas in addition to plenty of things I design myself for specific classes and groups of students. I can also offer Business English, Academic English and Cambridge Exam preparation.
I am highly computer literate and familiar with a range of standard programs including Excel. I am available from around the end of August.
My CV/resume has a photograph on the last page.

I have previously studied in Seoul at Sungkyunkwan University for two semesters from 2017-2018. After visiting South Korea as a tourist in 2015, I fell in love with the country, its culture, its history, food and lifestyle. During my time at University of Leicester, I have mainly focused on Asian history modules and have gone on to write my dissertation on the Korean War. When I went on to study in Korea, I developed a lot of personal friendships and relationships with Korean people and their kindness and enthusiasm towards welcoming me has confirmed that I would love to live there in long-term and give something back. The best way to do this is in the form of teaching. Koreans have an incredible passion and respect for their education and they are always striving to improve their English speaking skills, often asking me to help assist them in their learning, or things they were struggling with. I am a helpful, kind person by nature and was always happy to oblige. Teaching English would be a really rewarding career, knowing that you are able to assist somebody's development and help them to connect with people across the world. As a native speaker, I am in the privileged position of being able to develop peoples' skills in learning the global language.

I am an outgoing person and believe I would be an excellent teacher when I gain experience in the classroom. I have the energy and enthusiasm to begin teacher career and always strive to develop myself as much as possible.

I am currently teaching at a Public Middle School in Korea. This year I have learned how to develop effective lesson plans. Before this year I also have experience in teaching in the United states. I worked at a Pre-k and as an English tutor for foreign college students.

I'm very polite and easy going. In the past I worked at Disney World which has one well known rule for employees, they must always smile! This was not difficult for me in general I am a happy person.

To begin with, I have 7 years of English education experience altogether. Moreover, I have a TESOL degree, so I am highly informed on how to teach first language and especially ESL students. I chose to get a teaching degree but it is my passion and joy to see others enjoy learning. I am very organized and creative. At my current job in Korea, I have had to make so much supplementary materials and a lot of them I made from scratch myself. I am very loving towards students but can also give a healthy and appropriate amount of discipline by showing students what they did right or wrong. I hope I am the right person for this job.

I would be an excellent candidate for this role as I have a strong desire to start a career in teaching English and I am a native English speaker from the UK. I have a great amount of experience and skills, as well as many strengths and characteristics which would make me a great ESL Teacher.

To begin with, I have a lot of work experience gained through a variety of roles. I first took an interest in working with children when I completed a two-week work placement during high school working within a nursery. During this placement, I gained experience working with children between the ages of 3 to 5, and I enjoyed assisting the nursery teachers in organising activities and games to play with the children. I gained experience working in a team with the other teachers, as well as experience working independently and supervising small groups of children during activities, which was really enjoyable and fulfilling to assist in their learning. More recently, I have been working on the Visitor Team in an art gallery in the UK for the past three years. This role has provided me with a lot of experience with communicating with a wide range of people, including children of all ages and I have enjoyed talking to children and teaching them about the art and artists on display in the museum. In this role, I have also organised and delivered arts and craft activities and workshops for families and their children, which will be advantageous for this role as a teacher, as I have had experience coming up with engaging and creative activities as well as supervising a group of 10 – 20 children in workshops. I have also had experience in speaking to large groups in this role, as I have delivered tours of the museum to people of all ages, including children and students. Through my role at the museum, I have also received training including emergency first aid at work, health and safety, and fire awareness and evacuation. Therefore, I have had a lot of work experience in public facing roles and working with children, which will help me in the role as an ESL Teacher.

I also have many great skills gained through my work experience and university. I developed excellent verbal and written communication skills whilst studying for my BA (Hons) History of Art degree through writing many essays and have also gained great presentation and public speaking skills through doing presentations to small groups. I have further developed my communication and public speaking ability through delivering tours to smaller and larger groups at the art gallery and through managing the main reception desk and answering enquiries. I have good IT skills and have the ability to use a variety of Microsoft Office programmes such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook gained during university and through my current role, as I have had to create spreadsheets and deliver presentations to my team and other departments at the museum. I am very organised, motivated and I have a great skill in time management and ability to meet deadlines, gained through completing assignments at university and organising the art workshops in my current role.

Also, I have many strengths in regards to my characteristics and personality traits which really match those needed for an ESL Teacher. I’m very kind, caring and nurturing, as well as very empathetic which will be important when understanding and addressing student’s individual needs. I am also very sociable, friendly and approachable which will allow the students to feel welcomed and comfortable during lessons. I am a great listener which is essential for the role when answering questions from the students and listening to any worries or concerns they have in regards to their English skills. I am very creative, artistic and very organised, which will help me to plan engaging and varied classes and activities.

Therefore, I believe I would be a great teacher and I see this job as the perfect opportunity to utilise my strengths, experience and skills and a unique chance for further development and as an enriching experience. I have previously visited South Korea and would be thrilled at the opportunity to live and teach my language in Korea and hope to learn Korean also which would help my teaching also.

I would say that I have an array of strengths that would make me an asset in any ESL school. First, I have extensive experience in both professional and voluntary ESL work. I have a combined total of over four years of working with non-native English speakers. I received my first TEFL qualifications in 2012 and worked with groups of foreign workers and their families in my University town. I then went on to work for Chungdahm Learning, a reputable Hagwon, in Bundang, South Korea. I stayed there for 15 months. In 2016 I earned both my TEFL Young Learners and CELTA qualifications while living in Edinburgh, before moving to Fujian province, China. There, I worked with another after school ESL provider, and quickly moved from teacher to Academic Coordinator (essentially managing my own branch) within my first year. In March of this year, I left China but continued working with Chinese students through an online learning provider, Say ABC. This range of placements has allowed me to become much better acquainted with the needs of non-native learners who are trying to improve their English skills.
Second, I would say that my personality would make me an ideal match for your school. I am approachable (something that made me both an adept Senior Teacher and Academic Coordinator), creative, hard-working, and enthusiastic. I also like to have fun in whatever I do, and I feel confident that my current students especially would say that I like to have them work hard but also enjoy themselves in class.
Last, I would say that I have a skill-set that is highly suited to this industry. I'm passionate about working with learners, and this is demonstrated by my strong feedback (98% positive from March to present) from my current students and their parents. I am also highly flexible as demonstrated by my extensive work history, but also by the different types of students I've worked with (at York in Fujian I worked with learners aged 3 to 16 years, and enjoyed each age group immensely). I am also highly organised, and in each of the above locations I worked full time hours while planning my own classes, providing customised lesson materials, and providing tailored feedback for students: all in a timely manner. Not to mention that I have excellent communication and presentation skills.

I have been teaching ESL for 6 years. I taught ESL both in America and Asia. Specifically, I taught English in South Korea from 2014-2017. During that time, I have taught a varied group of students from kindy to adults from gifted to special education. My special education classes were actually my favorite. They were challenging classes but I felt that it was a very rewarding experience to work with these types of students.

On top of this, I have also worked corporate jobs in Human Resources and in administration. I have taught both English and Spanish to adult students for business purposes as well. I am very patient, warm, kind yet still very professional.

In addition to my extensive work experience, I have a bacherlors degree in FLL and a TESOL certificate. This year I have completed a teacher certification program so that I can obtain an official teaching license. Teaching is truly my passion.

I will be in Seoul from June 20th until June 25th before going back home. I hope that we can arrange an interview and mock lesson. Below you can find my CV and photo attached. I can send a professional visa type photo later this week. I look forward to hearing back from you. I hope that you have a great day!

My name is Morgan Crier and I am a graduate of Louisiana State University with a major in International Studies. I chose this major because I am passionate about culture which led me to apply to teach abroad. I want to immerse myself in another culture while also doing something meaningful. Teaching abroad is meaningful to me because I am a firm believer that education is a powerful tool. By teaching abroad I will provide children with a tool to pave their futures. Equally, I too will be paving a future for myself towards being a more globally minded citizen.

I have extensive experience working with children, beginning in high school. In high school I worked as a summer camp counselor for Hammond High School’s Torbotics Summer Camp. Torbotics Summer Camp is a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) day camp for children ages 6-14. At the summer camp children were divided into smaller groups based on their age. Having worked at the summer camp all four years of my high school career I gained experience working with all different age groups. My duties at the summer camp included creating lesson plans with my fellow team leaders based on the objectives of the day. I would then implement and facilitate the lesson plan guiding and assisting the students in reaching the objectives.

My experience working with kids doesn’t stop in high school though. In college I volunteered on Fridays at the Boys and Girls which is an after school program for elementary to high school children. However, the Boy’s and Girl’s Club that I volunteered at was catered towards elementary aged children. At the Boys and Girls Club I assisted the students with their homework as well as facilitated group activities.
