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. As you can see from my professional experience below, I have over five years of experience in the hospitality industry and have developed excellent communication and customer service 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,
Emily Smith

Responsible for majority of administrative duties including organizing paperwork, returning phone calls, and monitoring inventory levels related to front of house operations. Helped supervise front of the house staff performance and trained new hires to follow company policies. Developed excellent people skills in demanding, unpredictable, high volume environment.

2. Brand Representative/Sales Associate at Hollister Co. – (Nov 2012 – Mar 2013)

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.

Dear GLOII Team,

I am 20 years old, and have recently resigned from a job, which is meant for university graduates, to pursue a career in teaching English abroad.

With a great interest in pursuing a new change of career, I am currently in the process of completing the 150 Hours Tefl course Teaching in English Language with the possibility to start teaching in early February 2019.
I am a native English speaker and a citizen of UK, seeking for an opportunity to teach English to foreign students in their native country. Preferably in a major city in South Korea.

With a willingness to do my utmost to help and teach each student to achieve their goal to further their education, I do believe I will be able to contribute towards their forthcoming career goals.

With the help from Tefl, I have been able to practice and adapt to the important key skills to teaching. I look forward to applying these teaching skills to my students in Seoul.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards

Scott

My first teaching experience came from teaching an Aviation Studies course to 13-18 year old cadets whilst I was a Sergeant in the Air Training Corp. It was this that first interested me in teaching, and my Commanding Officer praised my progression during my time teaching there. Also, whilst volunteering at a museum, my roles included teaching members of the public about Ancient Egypt, and helping to manage classes of visiting school children. From these experiences I have accrued relevant practical skills such as classroom management and how to interact with young children.
Ultimately, my main strength lies in my attitude and work ethic. I commit fully to any task and never leave a job half-done. I am organised and dedicated and believe that I will make a great addition to any school.

I am fully committed to the things I care about. I believe this is essential when teaching, as you have a responsibility to yourself and your students.

I have lived abroad in the past, which has allowed me to immerse myself in different cultures and languages, and has helped develop my communication and organisational skills.

Recently, I have been giving informal English lessons to a friend, which has allowed me to understand the ways in which English can be difficult to understand and how to teach effectively.

I am someone who connects well with others through interaction, conversation and listening. My natural ability is to lead and motivate others to see their potential and worth. I have over five years experience in the world of international relations, where I worked on three different continents and countries. Through my experiences, education and travels I have always wanted to work with youth and people; while developing human capacity, which I have done throughout my career. I have developed experience in cross cultural competency in dealing with diverse groups of people, ranging from different backgrounds.

My personality is outgoing, approachable and compassionate toward the needs of others. I am naturally energetic and love children and youth. In a role of an educator, I can bring this same passion to the classroom, while teaching students.

Here are some skills I posses: communicator, creative, group collaboration, facilitator, mentor, trainer, adaptability, also, I am someone who leads by example; while owning my mistakes.

I have experience with teaching from being a first-year Geography practical demonstrator at Rhodes University. This job entailed facilitating first-year Geography practical sessions and helping students in these session and then marking their work. I also have experience in teaching from volunteer work I did with the Khanya Maths and Science Club co-ordinated through Rhodes University and with NOAH (Nurturing Orphans of AIDS for Humanity) through Roedean School. For both of these schools, I tutored Grade 9 students in mathematics. I have experience with teaching elementary school children from work I did at Little Johnnies Aftercare, where I helped students with their homework (reading practise, preparing for spelling tests, maths exercises) and helped the staff with play activities.

I am an intelligent, responsible and industrious person. I work well independently and with others and I am friendly and approachable. From my studies at university, I have acquired skills in presenting, research and analysis. I have a lot of experience with public speaking and I am able to speak clearly and with confidence.

Punctuality and creativity are central to my character, as is a hardworking and positive attitude. The ability to adapt to different circumstances, excellent people skills, and an aptitude for coping under pressure allow me to succeed in goals I set in life, both professional and personal.
As a member of a choir for over four years my self-confidence has grown, and I have been encouraged to step out of my comfort zone. I thoroughly relish the challenge of learning new songs as part of a diverse group and find the experience of practicing and performing highly rewarding.
Volunteering as a student representative for the Open University Student Association on the Languages & Applied Linguistics programme committee has given me insight into problems students face when learning languages. I believe I can use this experience proactively to respond to students’ needs with confidence, using techniques that have proven successful in an academic setting.
I am supportive of the diverse needs and abilities of students which allows me to encourage students to believe in their learning capabilities and achievements. Further, my analytical skills mean that I am adaptable in situations, allowing for decision making and problem solving in the moment and for the future. If students’ needs change unexpectedly, I feel confident I will be able to respond to this change in a timely and appropriate manner.
Through volunteering and working at the Open University I have gained experience in presenting information in a professional context, in verbal and written form, and feel comfortable transferring these skills to a classroom setting.
I have used my mathematical abilities in teaching contexts, both with children and adults. During my A Levels I volunteered in a primary school, taking groups of six children of 9-10 years of age through extra maths lessons. In my current volunteer role at Sheffield’s Conversation Club I offer help to non-native English speakers who are working towards mathematics qualifications, working on understanding what questions mean when written in English.
During the classroom course component of my TEFL qualification I was able to practice many skills including eliciting information, focussing on student talking time, concept checking and activity planning. I feel these skills will enable me to create a safe and fun learning environment for students.

EXPERIENCE
I spent 2 years at a Private school (Cowan House Prep School) as an intern and sports coach. I worked with children between the ages of 8 – 13 years. After completing my 2 years as intern, I started studying my Post Graduate Certificate in Education through UNISA. I began my first teaching job in January 2016 at Riverrun Educational Facility, whilst studying through UNISA part time. At the end of 2018 I will complete 3 years of teaching at this facility. I have been exposed to working with children on the Autistic spectrum as well as learners who struggled in the mainstream education environment.

PERSONALITY
Passionate, enthusiastic and eager to be involved in all areas of the classroom and on the sports field. Devoted to ensuring that each child is able grow and develop their full potential.
