I am a qualified EFL teacher (CELTA) looking for experience in teaching overseas. During the CELTA course I was taught how to prepare for and plan lessons, review both my own and others teaching for continued career development, how to analyse language elements to better support explanations, as well as being aware of the challenges that different types of learners may face.
Currently my teaching experience is limited, however, I have worked in multiple industries in the last 10 years allowing me to develop transferable skills useful in any workplace, such as adapability, time managment, independant working, and communication. My experiences as a team lead and manager have given me knowledge on how to handle a variety of situations and develop skills including conflict resolution, providing constructive criticism, supporting indivduals needs and completing paperwork.
I am a hardworking and enthusiastic team member, willing to face challenges and motivate others in any environment.

120 Hour TEFL/40 hour Young Learner

Engaging and Energetic: While my background includes teaching executives and soldiers, I am a firm believer in the power of play-based learning for children.

Encouraging and Patient: My objective has always been to be a “learner-focused instructor.” I believe in creating a safe space where kindergarteners feel brave enough to make mistakes and speak freely.

My Bachelor of Science in Psychology provides me with a deep understanding of childhood development stages.

Adaptability and Cultural Sensitivity: Having taught multinational students in Egypt and corporate clients in Korea, I possess a proven ability to adjust my communication style to suit any audience.

I am an early years and primary education professional with over three years of experience working in after-school provision, children’s centres, and school settings. I am currently working as a Children’s Leader in an After School Art Club at GS St Luke’s Church, Birmingham, where I lead creative activities, promote positive behaviour, and ensure a safe, engaging environment for children.
Alongside my leadership role, I have experience working as a classroom-based Teaching Assistant, supporting children in EYFS and Year 3. This has strengthened my understanding of early childhood development, differentiated learning, and supporting pupils with diverse needs, including SEN, within the British Curriculum.
As I mentioned above, I worked in several Outstanding OFSTED-rated children’s centres in Birmingham, where I supported holistic child development through play-based learning, family engagement, and community-focused programmes. These roles have further developed my ability to build trusting relationships with children and parents from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
I bring strong cultural awareness from living in the UAE, India, South Korea, Turkey, and across Europe, which helps me work confidently with diverse children and families. I hold Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in English Language Philology and Linguistics, alongside training in safeguarding and first aid, and I am committed to inclusive, child-cent

I have worked with young children (ages 3-6) several times before in teaching roles at camps and therefore have experience teaching different subject matters to young learners. I am also a very organized and outgoing person, which makes makes for soundly structured classes and being easy to approach if students/parents have questions/concerns. I have excellent interpersonal skills developed through years of team sports, working in a retail environment, and filmmaking (a highly collaborative process). I also have excellent problem-solving skills (including conflict de-escalation) and can quickly adapt to sudden changes in routine.

Expereince
My professional and personal experiences have given me a unique foundation for teaching. As an Editor at a global publication, I honed an expert eye for grammar, clarity, and effective communication, skills I am eager to pass on to students. Furthermore, my extensive experience working with children is direct and practical. Coaching cricket and tennis taught me how to break down complex skills into engaging, learnable steps and manage dynamic group energy. Working at local camps required constant creativity, patience, and the ability to foster a fun, inclusive, and safe environment for young learners – directly mirroring your school's objective to create a secure and stimulating classroom.

Personality
I am a proactive, adaptable, and passionate individual. My role as a communications intern required collaboration, clear expression, and the ability to tailor messages for different audiences – a mindset perfect for differentiating instruction in the classroom. I thrive in environments that require energy and creativity, and I am genuinely committed to fostering a classroom where students feel empowered to “think, act, and dream in English” without fear of making mistakes.

Skills
I possess a powerful combination of academic, linguistic, and interpersonal skills. My First-Class degree from the University of Manchester is proof of my strong academic discipline, research abilities, and mastery of the English language. Professionally, I have advanced skills in clear communication, content creation, and meticulous attention to detail from my editorial and communications roles. These are complemented by practical classroom management skills gained through youth coaching – including lesson planning, positive reinforcement, and maintaining engagement. I am a quick learner, ready to help students learn and express themselves freely.

As a padel coach to children, teenagers, and adults of varying skill levels. I
have extensive experience adapting lessons to suit different learning styles,
ages, confidence levels, and goals. Coaching has strengthened my ability to
break down complex ideas into clear, manageable steps, create engaging and
supportive learning environments, and encourage learners to practise, make
mistakes, and improve with confidence. These principles closely align with
effective language teaching, where communication, encouragement, and
structured progression are essential.
In my professional career, I have over five years of experience as an IT
Manager where a teaching-first approach was central to my work. Rather than
simply resolving issues, I regularly taught users how to troubleshoot problems
independently, explaining why issues occur and how systems behave. This
helped learners develop problem-solving skills, technical vocabulary, and
confidence in communicating about challenges, skills that translate directly to
language learning. Supporting users from diverse backgrounds has also
strengthened my ability to explain concepts clearly, patiently, and in accessible
language.
I have also led and trained international teams of technical staff, working
across time zones and cultures. In these roles, clear communication, empathy,
and adaptability were essential. I consistently used real-world situations as
learning opportunities, helping individuals understand processes, ask
questions, and develop confidence in expressing themselves

I am a highly detail-oriented worker who loves to learn. I am hard-working and attentive. I know some Korean; I would estimate an intermediate level (B1-B2). I am familiar with Word Processing systems and comfortable working with children of all ages.

I am a TEFL-qualified English teacher with experience mentoring students during summer programmes and through church-based learning initiatives, supported by a strong professional background in international business, training, and stakeholder communication. I am hardworking, resilient, and emotionally intelligent, with strong self-awareness and a respectful, student-focused approach. I enjoy problem-solving and adapting lessons to meet learners’ needs, helping students build confidence in using English. My skills include lesson planning, communicative teaching, pronunciation support, and adapting lessons to different learning styles. I am confident using digital tools such as Zoom and PowerPoint and work effectively within structured curricula and collaborative teaching environments.

As a BA World Languages graduate, my studies in Korean language and culture have sparked in me a real interest in the idea of living and working in Korea. There are many benefits that make teaching in Korea appealing, like housing, job opportunities, and the opportunity for my own growth as an individual. I visited Seoul in the summer of 2024, and have only incredible things to say about the two weeks I spent there. As well as this, a friend I met in university had taught in Korea for two years, and continuously gushed about her experiences, highlighting that the students there are very polite and well-behaved, which is something I greatly appreciate. I took a year-round module in TESOL during my final year, where I learned teaching theory and techniques. In this module I was also afforded the opportunity to teach four 30 minute practice lessons to ESL learners, focusing on different topics like grammar, listening, functions and reading. I found these classes very enjoyable and rewarding to teach, and gained some good experience and knowledge about myself as a teacher, confirming that my goal after graduation would be to teach in Korea. I am a highly motivated person and have worked hard at my jobs in the past. I have great communication skills and work very well as part of a team. I am quite outgoing and have a good ability to make people comfortable and at ease which has worked well for me in the classroom in the past.

I have about two years of tutoring experience with academic subjects and have also privately tutored younger students ranging from elementary to middle school for several years. Through working with students of different ages and varying learning styles, I have learned that encouragement, patience, and adaptability play a important role in truly helping students thrive.

As an active language learner myself, I understand the challenges of learning a new language, and therefore, I always do my best to keep a uplifting, and cheerful personality to ensure students feel seen and to make the overall learning experience more enjoyable. I believe that when a student can feel a teacher's passion for teaching, they are more motivated to put in their best efforts.

I have firsthand experience in tutoring, developing classroom activities, and teaching in small and large groups of children. As for personality, I see myself as an ambitious leader with an affable demeanor and warm presence. I'm a quick learner and eager to prove myself as well. Some of my most useful skills would be my leadership, organization, and people assessment abilities which have served me well during my 3 years of management.

I am an enthusiastic and dependable English Teacher with one year of teaching experience, supported by a strong mentoring background and lead role in the Aerospace industry. I bring excellent structure, patience, and clarity to the classroom which creates a positive and engaging learning environment for young learners. I combine creativity with professional discipline to help my students build confidence, communication skills, and a love for learning.

I have six years of classroom teaching experience, during which I have delivered engaging, well‑structured lessons to learners with a wide range of abilities. My background includes curriculum development, safeguarding, pastoral care, and organizing enrichment opportunities such as international study trips to Italy and educational visits within the UK. I also have experience providing one‑to‑one online tuition, where I adapted content to individual needs and strengthened students’ academic language skills.

In terms of personality, I am warm, approachable, and student‑centered, with a calm and reliable presence in the classroom. I build strong relationships with learners and colleagues, bring a positive and proactive attitude to challenges, and thrive in collaborative environments.

My key skills include clear communication, adaptive teaching, and the ability to break down complex ideas into steps. I am confident in planning differentiated lessons, supporting student wellbeing, and creating inclusive learning environments. I also bring strong organizational skills, leadership experience, and proficiency with a wide range of digital tools for teaching, assessment, and resource creation.

I have over 25 years of experience teaching languages to students of all ages, from primary school through college. I love learning languages, and my students see this enthusiasm and cannot help but love the learning process as well. My classes are know for high retention rates and excellent student success.

I would describe my personality as lighthearted yet professional. I am warm and approachable, while also valuing structure, boundaries, and consistency in learning environments. I believe students respond best when they feel comfortable and supported, but also understand expectations and routines.

I am highly adaptable and comfortable working in new environments. Throughout my life, I have lived and worked in several countries, including moving from Haiti to the United States at a young age and later living in London, Sydney, and Korea. Each transition required adjusting to new cultures, communication styles, and professional expectations. These experiences helped me become flexible, observant, and respectful while building positive relationships with classmates, coworkers, and supervisors. I am comfortable learning new systems and working collaboratively, even in unfamiliar settings.

I am also patient, emotionally aware, and slow to anger. I understand that stress or disruptive behavior is often not personal, and I try to respond calmly and thoughtfully rather than react emotionally. This mindset has helped me build rapport and maintain a steady presence in group settings, which I believe is especially important when working with children.

My experience working with students includes both mentorship and youth supervision. In college, I founded an education-focused mentorship program for underprivileged high school students, where I designed lesson plans and led biweekly online sessions focused on the college application process, essay writing, and résumé preparation. In addition, through the AnBryce Scholars program, I worked at a two-week overnight summer camp for children, where I lived in a cabin with campers and supervised daily activities. I led hikes, reading sessions, and book comprehension activities, and helped manage group routines and behavior in a residential setting. These experiences taught me how to guide students, maintain structure, and remain attentive and responsible in dynamic environments.

Overall, I am dependable, thoughtful, and emotionally steady. I take responsibility seriously and understand the importance of being a consistent and positive presence for students. I believe my adaptability, calm demeanor, and experience working with children would allow me to contribute effectively to a public school setting and work well with students, co-teachers, and school staff.

My name is Amanda, happy to greet you 🙂 I bit about me: I have a Bachelors of Arts in International Studies. I like to describe myself as an understanding and curious person with a calming presence. People would describe me as levelheaded with a good ability to lead and persuade. I will always value education first as it is the most important quality to possess in this world, to be knowledgeable so you can think for yourself and form your own conclusions. Knowledge is what keeps society growing and it’s people thriving. I thrive to find community and connecting with others. 
I have extensive experience working in both childcare and educational settings. I have over eight years experience working in educational learning preschools as a teacher for children ages 0 to 6 years old – including Montessori styled, play based and structured curriculums – emphasizing the importance of sensory and open play objectives. Working with these younger age groups you develop many skills that are helpful, such as patience, adaptability and learning various different teaching techniques that fit each child learning style. Through all my families I have encountered, I emphasis the importance of forming that strong bond to build trust and care. 
Additionally to my hands-on experience in early education, I have over 4 years experience working in administrative roles in high education departments. Fields including the Office of Global Diversity & Inclusion, the College of Education, and the College of Agriculture and Forestry. 
I love reading, nature, exploring and the way music transcends and reaches people in all walks of life. I value the strength of knowledge and appreciating other cultures. I have visited over 10 countries, I am intrigued of others adaption to life and society. As someone who studied in international relations at university, I am fascinated by the power of language and try to  know as many casual phrases in as many different languages as I can. One of my long-term career goals is to gain much more hands-on educational experience so I can strive for an administrative role in an international school abroad.
