I have a strong work ethic and am fluent in English. I am an open minded person who recognizes that it is not a one size fits all situation and that every student is different and just because they do not understand the first time something is explained does not mean they will not understand the next time when it is presented in a slightly different manner.

Back in University I did a lot of part time tutoring to make some pocket money, that has taught me to be patient and Encouraging towards my pupils as well as provide an open and safe environment that does not judge them and lets them know that it is okay to make mistakes and that mistakes are welcomed because that is how we learn.

I am a very adaptive person who handles pressure really well, I feel as if I have an easy to approach personality and are very sensitive towards issues involving cross-cultural communications as well as relationships at a personal level.

Hello 안녕하세요
My name is MyLia Vang. I am from the Midwest of the United States from a state called Minnesota.
I have no teaching experiences but I have tutored throughout my school career.
Up until 6th grade I had the experience of going to the same school which my mother taught at.. Throughout my high school years I also would go back and help with volunteering at my mother’s school.
The reason why I want to begin teaching abroad is, I had the experience of studying in South Korea last year. I found that I really like the culture, food and enjoyed the beauty of Korea. During that time I also got the chance to volunteer at center for children which really inspired me to comeback. I am really intrigued by the Korean schooling system and I really want to be a supporting figure in those who want to learn English. I want to teach creatively and bring fun into the classroom, while focusing on development among my students. I am a patient and caring person and want to create a great learning environment for my students. I can relate to being shy and filling embarrassed as a student when learning a new language, therefore I want to create an environment where students don't have to worry about that feeling.
Lastly, as a note, I am currently in South Korea and would like to start as soon as possible!

I'm currently an ESL leacher in Beijing. I've been in the classroom since January an I love it. I'm ready to take another step in my life and move to another country. I find it very rewarding to watch my students english skills blossom. I'm excited to move forward and embrace any new challenges that come my way.

I am about to complete a one year contract as an ESL teacher in Beijing, I have been working as an ESL teacher since January 2018. During performance reviews, my boss has always complimented me on how well I get along with all other members of staff and how well I work within the team. She also says I am quick to learn and adapt to new situations.

I am often told that students, when speaking to local members of staff and.or their parents, will often say positive things about me and my lessons, saying they have a lot of fun, sometimes even saying I am their favourite teacher, which I think is very rewarding.

Hello there!

My name is Liam Windeatt and I am a 22-year-old male from England.
I am very interested in becoming an English teacher in Korea, especially in Seoul! I have just graduated from the University from Brighton with a 2:1 in English Literature.
I have attached my resume and a smiling picture of myself.
In addition to my resume I have also spent time with children, with babysitting and tutoring them grammatical English.
I am also in the process of completing my 120 hour TEFL course.

Liam Windeatt

I am currently studying at the University of Exeter, and will be graduating in June 2019 with a BA in Classics with an advanced proficiency in Italian.

I have completed a 120 Hour TEFL Methodology course and have also worked with ACLE Summer Camps and trhough this have received TEFL TP certification. During these summer camps, I worked with young children, and cherished the opportunity to making learning interesting for these young students; I taught classes whcih were between the ages of 5 and 7.

Since November 2016, I have also been doing online tutoring as part of the MyTutor organisation, helping GCSE students in Maths, English and Latin.

In my spare time I am a member of committee for the University of Exeter Pole Fitness Society, which helps me to manage my time well, and requires me to communicate well with others, both in the society and externally. I enjoy going to the gym and would describe myself as reasonably active.

At my secondary school, I was Head Girl in my final year, which taught me important leadership skills such as delegation, patience, respect and compartmentalisation.

My Strengths which makes me a great fit for the position are my ability to cope with failures and learn from mistakes, my ability to prioritize my work, my analytical thinking skills, my people skills and my love for kids, attention to details. I'm a great Communicator and I work great under pressure. These are few of the skill that I possess that will make me a great fit for the position.

Ever since High School, I had done tutoring as a way to do community service hours, but it eventually became something that I loved. There was a genuine spark inside of me when I was able to watch others grow educationally and understand material that they did not before. As a result, I have been tutoring kids in all subjects from 1st grade to 9th grade for the past 5-6 years and could not think of any better career path than teaching.

I am often a very patient and optimistic person who always see the brighter side of things even when the situation appears grim. I often enjoy working with others in a friendly manner and do my best to be helpful for anyone that may need it. I can work well with Microsoft Office as well as Google Docs in order to maintain an organized work ethic and have experience with figuring out which students may require more individual attention in their studies.

I am a recent graduate from Rutgers University with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health. I have a strong enthusiasm to learn, travel, grow, and teach. I possess excellent communication skills and leadership qualities while maintaining a strong sense of teamwork and professionalism. I am always considerate and aware of the needs of others. I approach any challenge with an open mind, optimism, critical thinking skills, and sincerity. In the past I have been a part of, as well as have led, large groups of diverse organizations in a variety of settings.

During my time at university I held several workshops in both local high schools and the university itself. The workshops focused on drama and was based on the schools current syllabus. I also helped out with several workshops at my university, with the majority of these being to new students. For the workshops at the university I followed the orders or the lecturers who were running the workshops. But, for the classes held at the local high school it was my job to plan and facilitate.

I would describe myself as someone who is outgoing, hardworking and down for a challenge. As i studied Drama and Theatre studies at university I am also someone who is confident in public speaking and I also pride myself in my ability to work under pressure.

In my spare time I have a passion for photography, with a preference for nature photography. I also enjoy reading and attending the theatre.

I volunteered as a teacher at my previous daycare over my four years of high school. My main job function was to supervise the children during classes, discussions or recess. I would have to teach religious studies during classes and had to create fun interactive classes so the children would learn and avoid boredom. My classes usually involved acting out the bible story that I had just went over so the children could better understand the story and the meaning of it. I would also start every class with a quick game, such as telephone, to get them started and end every class with a group discussion.

My teaching philosophy primarily focuses on making sure that the students learn, enjoy and have an active interest in the the course subject. I have learned from my time as a student in addition to teaching children over the course of four years that students will not actually learn a subject if they do not personally enjoy it. Some students may perform well in class and may score high grades on their tests; however, a student will never retain that knowledge from class and be able to access that knowledge in the future if the students do not personally enjoy how the subject is taught to them. I believe that improving upon three different areas will encourage the enjoyment of learning a subject. These three areas would be creating a safe environment, providing examples that interest the students, and finally to incorporate many interactive and kinetic practices. Firstly, I believe that initially a teacher must create an environment in the classroom that the students feel secure but also to promote an environment where all students can freely express their ideas, creativity and thoughts. Secondly, I have noticed that most students will not be interested in learning about a topic if it is not expressed in an interesting fashion towards the students. For example, if I try to teach the students about how to form sentences on animals but none of the students enjoy animals but instead enjoy superheroes, I will be sure to shift the focus on forming sentences on superheroes. Lastly, I have noticed that most students both enjoy and learn the most from interactive activities such as games, exercises or active discussions and I will be sure to incorporate many of those aspects within my lessons so that they can converse amongst themselves while also learning English.

I have voluntary experience working with high school age children (ages 11-16), with Special Education Needs; I volunteered for 5 weeks with these young adults and alongside the school council team. The purpose of my time in the school was to work closely with the students and with art materials, to allow them quiet time out of their hectic lessons where they could be in calmness and talk to someone non-judgemental and engage in drawing/painting/ coloring.

I have experience of working as a support worker, in a house of four ladies, all with learning disabilities. The role could be challenging at times, as two of the ladies were non-verbal, and lone-working meant I had to be really good at thinking on my feet and be able to trust my own judgement and instinct.

Through reflecting on these experiences I have extremely good levels of patience and decorum- having the ability to be stern and forthright when needed is extremely important, yet on the other end of the spectrum, being comforting and helpful is equally as important.

I am able to alter the way I give instructions to suit the individual, knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the person and being able to adapt is a really important skill.

I have experience working with children aged 3-15. My time volunteering as a teaching assistant in a primary school was short but valuable as I learned how to interact with a group of children who possessed varying learning abilities. Understanding how to keep the children focused for long periods of time and to provide support when they were finding classwork difficult was an essential skill I learned. However, it is important to understand when to be stern in order to keep the respect of the children and control of the situation.

Volunteering within a football summer camp was another experience which taught me a lot about working with children. As the parents would collect the children at the end of the day, this shows that I was trusted to keep the children entertained during the sessions, but most importantly to make sure they were safe at all times.

To Whom It May Concern:

My devotion to children’s well being, education and creativity has been my mission throughout my career. South Korea seems to value the education of its society very much and have a similar mission to my own which is to allow for exchanges between cultures, languages and ideas that will foster genuine connections between global citizens. With a passion for teaching, a sense of humor and love of each child, these goals are definitely attainable.

As an Afterschool Coordinator, I used my skills and training to teach public and private school students various topics using a combination of art, music and theatre. I supervised staff and implemented behavior management strategies to ensure a positive and enriching environment for the students. As a social worker and counselor, I’ve worked with children, parents and school staff to advise on the improvement of their educational progress and interactions with their peers. Being able to speak Spanish has always proved to be an asset for me in and outside the classroom to cross cultural barriers and better understand the needs of those who require my assistance.

My goal will be to utilize my teaching and theatre skills to develop a positive school culture within the classroom and to instill a deep love of learning in each student. I hope that by coordinating with staff and faculty to implement behavior models and other supportive systems, this will ensure the success of all students.

I am good with kids and young adults, and have had past experience Au Pairing children when I was a University student. My Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design (Communication Design) was obtained from the University of Johannesburg (South Africa) in 2016.

My love for English makes me more than suitable to this role, as I have always loved reading and English grammar. I am friendly and active, and enjoy doing yoga as well as going for hikes in my free time.

I have just completed my 120 hour TEFL course, and am busy completing a 30 hour Advanced Grammar course. I will be completing a 20 hour in-class course on the 17th and 18th of November, as well as a 30 hour Teaching Young Learners course that I will be completing once I've passed my Advanced Grammar course. I will have completed a total of 200 course hours once I have passed all of my courses.

I have been teaching young learners English in China for the past year and a half. During this time I have mastered the curriculum at my company and learned to make lessons that are unique and fun for children. I try to make lessons that encorporate previously learned material while teaching new material, and whenever possible get the students to act out the language in fun, playful ways. I have found physically performing material makes the lessons more relevant and memorable for the students.

I have a fun and inviting personality. I enjoy working with kids and I make sure to plan lessons that are fun. I'm also very interested in my students. I make a point to learn their favorite colors, it's interesting to me and it gives them an opportunity to show the class something unique about themselves. I can also be strict when necessary. The discipline of each student is important for their own success as well as group cohesion. I am also constantly examining my own performance to see what I can do better: how I can learn from my experiences and make better and different lessons.

I have been planning ninety minute lessons independently. I'm good at understanding learning goals and evaluating students progress. I'm good with grammar as well the intricacies of spelling English words. I'm also quite a good representative of myself and my company around parents. I perform demonstration classes for prospective students and their parents, during which I will answer questions about myself and my company.

Although admittedly I haven’t had any first-hand experience of teaching students English, I still feel I have gained enough knowledge on the topic through the recent TEFL course I completed. I possess the right attitude and am hugely determined to do very well within a rewarding teaching role in South Korea.
Throughout the course of completing the TEFL program I learned and developed a teaching philosophy that I feel will make learning English for foreign students both fun and engaging, while still challenging in an open, relaxed and safe environment.
The use of the teaching method and lesson plan structure: Presentation – Practice – Production (PPP) that I learned during the TEFL program, I believe is ideal for guiding all students towards using the language they are learning themselves, and is the best way in getting the best out of each student as it maximizes student talking time. Increasing STT through this lesson structure gives students time to communicate with each other when learning new English concepts, rather than listening to the teacher for longer periods of time. As this would work well with all age ranges of students, I also believe keeping the classroom environment fun and relaxed for younger students through games and songs, is a good teaching philosophy to have.
In addition to the TEFL course, I have spent a number of hours shadowing a close friend of mine who is currently a Year 1 primary school teacher at a local school where I live. This has given me a direct insight into what teaching a large class of younger students is like. I have gained experience of what teaching methods, reward schemes and methods in dealing with disruptions work well within the class room, specifically tailored for the students around the ages of 5 and 6 years old.
