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.

To recruiter:
My name is Avery, I am 25 years old, and from the United States. I have a bachelors in Elementary Education. I am currently living and working in Santiago, Chile for over a year. I am applying for a job in South Korea to gin more teaching experience and to see more of the world. I am looking for a job in order to gain valuable work skills and utilize my talents in a fun and educational environment. Having been working for the past year as an English teacher for over a year I have gained valuable cultural information and new teaching strategies. Overall I believe in creating an environment that allows students to reach their full potential. I will be available to start work April 1, 2019. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future and thank you for considering me.

During my final year of uni I realized I wanted to get into teaching. As such started doing language exchanges and realized I absolutely loved the sharing of language. This lead me to complete a 140 hour tefl last march and I started to teach conversational English through skype and italki, while finishing my degree.
Having completed my degree and being an open and outgoing person, I plan on following my dream of teaching English. I'm very adaptable and willing to learn and in my current job as a leisure attendant I work with all ages . This involves supervising children parties and swimming/sports events. I have a wide array of skills form this and my degree. Which includes the likes of photography, video editing and all round being an excitable person.

I am an incredibly passionate and outgoing person and always give 100% effort in anything I do. I find it very easy to communicate with others; both written and verbally which I think is important when teaching any subject. I am a qualified horse riding instructor and have previously worked as a freelance instructor. I have taught people of various ages (both children and adults), and of different abilities (complete beginner to advanced riders). I think that being able to provide someone with a skill and see them develop and grow in confidence is one of the most rewarding jobs.

I'm a very organised person and find it easy to manage my daily work load and plan ahead. I have previously worked as a customer services manager which required a lot of planning and organisation in terms of rotas and employee evaluations. In my current role I am also required to provide training to other members of staff.

I'm an open minded person who takes a lot of interest in other countries and cultures. One of my passions is to travel and experience as much of the world as possible. Being open minded makes me very adaptable and I feel that I would be able to embrace life in a new country. I am also interested in learning languages and have been learning to speak Korean over the past few months!

Experience
English Instructor, Changwon
Jasaeng English Institute (자생 에듀) Sept 2017 – Sept 2018
 Educated elementary and middle school students of various levels
 Created custom curriculum for development of speaking and writing
 Assigned, corrected, and graded weekly creative journals and essays
 Developed and taught TOEFL Prep curriculum

I have D-10 Visa. I also live in Changwon at the moment.

I would like to teach overseas to challenge myself and to learn more about other cultures along the way. I love travelling and making new friends, while sharing as much about Australian culture as I can along the way.

I would be a suitable teaching candidate, as I have a passion about helping people communicate across cultures and different languages. I have seen many of my friends who don’t speak English as their first language, struggle with learning it. I believe as a teacher I could provide the enthusiasm and motivation to help students overcome their challenges. Learning English is as much about learning a new culture, as it is a language.

As part of my TEFL course, I was required to plan and conduct an English class for both beginner and intermediate learners. I has required to create a lesson plan with a teaching objective with the aim of teaching the class without the the use of a second language. In my previous job, I was also required to deal with clients from countries whose primary language was not English. In both these cases I learnt how important it is to change your language level to match that of the speaker.

Hello 😀
I am finishing up three years of teaching in Korea and I am looking for a new opportunity for late January or Feb/March 2019. My current contract finishes on January 7th, and I'd like to take a short vacation in America to see my family. I really love working and living in South Korea. I find both my professional and personal life here to be so fulfilling! I like to plan and have opportunities to be creative with my lessons. At my current and most recent job, I have become more experienced with developing curriculum and creating lessons for storytelling classes (discussing storybooks with elementary school students), as well as fun lessons in cooking, art and craft, and random subjects with a focus on conversational English. I have obtained experience teaching Kindergarten-Middle School, and most recently, a few classes teaching adults. I am looking forward to a new experience to challenge myself and develop as a teacher. Thank you for reading this!

Greetings from Laramie, Wyoming,

My name is Emily Smith and I am interested in becoming an ESL teacher in South Korea. I would describe my personality as friendly, cheerful, responsible, and diligent. I am very passionate about the necessity for widespread education and truly love being in a classroom environment. While attending the University of Denver for my Bachelor's degree in marketing, I gained some teaching experience by assisting fellow Chinese foreign exchange students with their verbal and written English skills.

I am a highly dependable and hardworking employee that is willing to take constructive feedback to consistently improve the quality of my work and better assist Korean students.

Thank you for taking the time to review my application. I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Having a bachelors degree in drama and a TEFL qualification and being incredibly interested in Asian culture made me feel that I would be well qualified to teach English to speakers of other
languages. Although I have no experience teaching as yet, during my degree I did facilitate a class of teenagers so have some small experience and have done a lot of research.

My previous experience in Drama from my degree will help to make the lessons fun and engaging for my students whilst also keeping things fresh and exciting experience for the students so that learning a new language can be as enjoyable as possible for them. I have always had a passion for language and children & combining to passions of mine with be an enriching experience to my life.

I am Hali Wetzel and I am very excited for the opportunity to apply for this position. I am passionate about working with young students, especially students learning English. I have a Bachelors of Arts in English from Northern Arizona University with a specific focus in linguistics, which has fueled my interest in teaching English to speakers of other languages. I have worked in classroom settings for nearly two years, both in the United States and abroad. I have taught English is an elementary school in Peru and worked in a kindergarten classroom in the United States. I have also worked with university level students in a classroom setting. Living and working in South Korea perfectly suits my passion for teaching English and my interest in exploring a new culture.

I believe in providing a style of education that sets students up for success. Teachers should provide students with the resources and passion to learn. This is especially critical in elementary school. Through modeling, guided practice, and hands-on education, I can provide students with the tools they need to successfully learn the English language. I have written lesson plans that are adjusted for different learners. I can adapt lessons and bring universal design for learning into the classroom. I work well with other teachers and students. Collaboration is very important in education and I can work well with other teachers and administrators. I am open to feedback and eager to grow as a teacher. I believe I am a qualified candidate for this position who would be a valuable member of your team.

I have had the luxury of having two teachers for parents, one being an English teacher, and I have just completed my degree at Saint Louis University. I studied philosophy primarily, and I think the skills that I gained in this discipline would translate well into a classroom setting. I understand that everyone comes from different backgrounds with different skill levels, so I would try to help make the classes as informative as possible while still being fun. I'm a fast learner, very analytically driven, and an easy person to be around. I understand that language is something that is always in flux, so I look forward to finding a position that would allow me to share my knowledge and experience with those who wish to learn.

I am a native English speaker and a British citizen who has recently graduated with a university degree and I have also completed a 168 hour TEFL course. I have a genuine interest in helping to broaden the minds of other people through teaching as I believe education is one of the most important aspects of people’s lives and learning a foreign language is an amazing opportunity to bring people together.
For the past year I have worked as a volunteer at the Polish Centre in my home city of Newcastle upon Tyne teaching Basic English to Polish immigrants who have started new lives in the United Kingdom. During my time as a union rep I was often required to give brief lectures on worker’s rights to new employees that started with the company I previously worked for. During my time as a student studying for my degree I was required to give numerous presentations to both academic and non-academic audiences explaining my research and experimental instructions for my dissertation and as well group discussions.

I have eight years experience in teaching. I am a very organised, creative and friendly person who always come to school prepared. I really enjoy the outdoors and I keep myself busy with art, reading, hiking or running if I am not teaching or preparing activities for the class.

I have coached tennis, hockey, athletics and soccer. Last year I was in charge of the decor for the school concert. I also did a First Aid course 3 years ago.

Please see my resume for further details.
