Throughout my college years, I had volunteer experience at JC Blair Hospital (in PA). The first volunteer site was the Dietary department, where I did typing, printing, photocopying, running all kinds of errands, supplying the entire office machine, and even fixing the mechanical problem with the machines. Not only I did office work but also coordination work such as greeting patients, talking to them about their daily life, walking them through the dietary menus, asking them about dietary issues, and helping dietitians to correspond to patients. I also volunteered in the Children Partial Program at the hospital. The Children Partial Program is where practitioners intervene children with behavioral issues. My responsibilities were to eat with the children in the cafeteria, to help the children to understand school materials (math and English), and to prevent the children from misbehaving. From these volunteer experiences, I learned that actively and genuinely interacting with individuals is very helpful for them to be mentally stable and behave appropriately, and I gained much knowledge of how to approach people and make them feel comfortable in multiple setting.

I had studied in the states for 8 years from high school to graduate school. Throughout this time, I often experienced caucasians' tendency to look down upon international students like me. In order to be friends with them, I had to put up with their jokes about my country and ethnicity, and this may have shaped me to react to any their negative name-calling with a positive and calm attitude toward them. As I became more used to these types of situations, I developed into a more flexible and easy-going person. Because of this new enlightened attitude, I was able to form trusting and lasting relationships with many American students, and I also made friends of many other Europeans and international students, regardless of their classes and majors. People may have thought that I am stupid and wondered why I put up with all the racism assaults to make friends, but in result I could develop myself to be flexible with any possible discriminated situation in the future.

I have three strengths in terms of teaching.
First one is creativity. I can constantly think of new and interesting ways to conceptualize ideas and planning new method to teach students effectively. For example, I research and make a possible speaking question which may appear in real TOEFL test. So i can challenge my students to think and borad their perspective more to be ready for most of the speaking prompt.
Second one is attention. I generally ask students why they choose this answer or why they speak certain contents, so i can have them interact with me and engage in class. If i see certain student having difficulty in catching up with lecture, I try to customize my course pace for the student.
Third one is humor. Since i believe that humor helps solidify student learning, I often use celebrity issue or joke for students to stay concentrated and form a lasting memory about lecture content.

With these strengths, I am confident that I can do my best to maximize any opportunity in any given situation at your company, and I strongly believe that I am capable of going through many obstacles ahead of me in terms of work or personal issues at your company.

Since I learned English with fun when I look back on the past, I also made point of giving fun to my students when I teach them English. When I do my best with this principle, I feel happy and rewarded. I always strive to create a learning environment where students take the lead, instead of passively following lessons. By doing so, I could elicit active responses from students and carry out long lessons without making students getting bored. Also, I can manage time very well without having my student exhausted.

Building on such experiences, I am confident that I would be a great teacher for the students especially young students like teens. From my perspective, students should learn from super talented teachers since the teachers are those who are the guidelines for the young generations. Plus, great teacher improve students’ English skills that might improve students’ life in many ways. I wish I am one of those who can effect on students life positively.

I am experienced and yet an energetic teacher. Experience allows me to be efficient, and my energy charged teaching method keeps students from boredom.

My strengths are experience, passion, and using effective teaching methods that work. I am very passionate and I really want to see my students excel. I have plenty of experience and have tried various methods of teaching to know what works best for students. I am to get results that my students are happy with.

I have been teaching English as a foreign or second language for 13 years, during which time I have lived and taught in the Russian Federation, Mexico, Italy, Germany, and my native Britain. I have taught a full range of levels from beginner to advanced, and a range of ages from 3 to 70, but I especially enjoy working with children and teenage learners. I have ample experience in teaching both groups and individual students. I have worked at a number of summer schools in the United Kingdom and in Italy, both as a teacher/ activity leader and as a Director of Studies. I really love working in the summer school environment. Even though the work is often tiring, the energy given back by the children really makes the experience great, and it is very rewarding to see them having fun and using the language.

My professional strengths are flexibility, both in terms of scheduling and students; knowledge of material, especially English and European History; dedication to the constant improvement of my students; loyalty to any company for whom I work; organisation; timekeeping. My personal qualities which also help in a professional context are patience (when a student is having a problem, I will always ensure that they don't get left behind); enthusiasm for everything I do; a positive outlook and a can-do attitude which enables me to encourage even the most reticent and nervous learners; empathy, which helps me to identify with almost all students and to strike up a good rapport.

I would be delighted to join your team for the summer and will be available for interview via Skype or telephone at a mutually-agreeable, pre-arranged time.

I am a very patient instructor who tries to identify a student's strength in an area within the subject first, and using that strength as a way to first build the student's confidence and then use that as a motivation to work on the weaknesses. In addition, regarding test preparation, it is best to identify the problems early on through a series of examinations and practice tests and making sure that the students work on the type of problems that they struggle with the most. I enjoy working with ambitious students and especially those that are passionate or interested in the subject, and I try to encourage a friendly and open dialogue to make sure that the students are comfortable bringing up certain problems or issues during the teaching process.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am writing to apply for a position as an English language teacher with GLOII this summer, a position for which I feel I am highly qualified.
I am a highly professional, results-driven TEFL teacher with over ten years’ experience in the development and delivery of language programs to a wide variety of clients encompassing diverse backgrounds, beginners to advanced, from young learners to business professionals. I have experience of working on Summer schools in the UK and Spain, which also involved boarding duties and the organisation of and participation in activities.
My qualifications include a Professional TEFL Certificate and a Master’s degree in International Studies. My professional experience includes over ten years as an English teacher in Zimbabwe, The UK, Japan, China and Spain.
As a teacher at Idiomas Seif in Madrid, I oversaw the instruction of over 200 students in a multi-lingual environment and personally trained many in the Cambridge exams and London Trinity certificates. This role demanded the regular creation of learning materials, the teaching of lessons, workshops and intensive courses, the preparation of progress reports and delivery of in-house testing. I helped oversee a period where the school achieved among the best student retention rates in the country and was commended for my performance due to very positive student feedback. I did teacher observations and enjoyed very much giving feedback and passing on my experience.
As an English Instructor in Zimbabwe, I gained a wealth of experience teaching young learners. This involved developing customised materials for each class in trying conditions. I’m currently teaching English to students aged 11-17 at a school in Chongqing, China. I am also the school football coach and I often participate in excursions and other extra-curricular activities.
With my skills, international experience, Summer school experience and love for language education, I believe I would be an ideal fit for your Summer program. I would welcome the opportunity to work with you to deliver the highest standards of English language teaching and I look forward to being able to discuss the position with you further.

Yours sincerely,
Simon Perry

I believe that my greatest asset for this job is my educational background in the Sciences. I had an opportunity to create my own curriculum while I was teaching English at an academy and incorporated topics like physics, chemistry, etc. into daily teachings. Having been enrolled in educational institutions until recently, I understand how to take exams efficiently and the methods of preparation. Another of my teaching strengths is that I am able to and enjoy creating PPT lectures with visual aids that help students stay focused.
In terms of personality, I strive to always exude positivity and energy, at least in the classroom. I am a multitasker and am always able to meet deadlines.
It is not noted in my resume and I have not marked the options above but I have credit for AP Computer Science and have taken multiple college statistics courses so I am able to teach those subjects if given time to review and prepare.

I recently graduated in May 2018 with a BSc in Earth Science from Rice University, currently ranked as the 14th best college in the United States. Since December 2017, I have been working as an SAT tutor for Catalyst Prep in the Houston, Texas area. I am in charge of running two-day, intensive courses to help students review relevant topics, hone their test-taking skills, and understand what to expect on the SAT. Since I have been teaching the same subjects that this job focuses on and working with students in the same target age group, I am well-prepared to provide SAT prep services to students who are applying to American universities.

My greatest strength is that I am an empathetic person who is skilled at relating to people and making them feel heard. During my time as an SAT tutor, many of my students have been frustrated, bored, or simply do not understand why their parents are asking them to enroll in these classes. I always strive to understand my students rather than dismissing their concerns, and I believe that I have learned a lot by listening to them. It is exciting when students come up to me after class and thank me personally; I like knowing my students feel like they have a voice in my classroom.

There are several skills I possess that are relevant an SAT teaching position. First, thanks to my earth science background and experience in research, I am well-versed in problem solving, critical thinking, and explaining difficult concepts in layman terms. Second, I am a strong writer with a good grasp of the English language who has experience editing essays written by college students and professors alike. Third, I am multilingual which demonstrates my potential to expand my language skills if necessary for this position.

I cam confident that my educational background, work experience, skill set, and personal strengths would make me a valuable asset to your institution, and I would love to talk more about this opportunity in an interview. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I am interested in teaching math or science through the medium of English.
My undergraduate education emcomposses in depth learning of several scientific disciplines and math, which allows me to teach a broad range of subjects and adequately instruct on concepts that overlap across disciplines. Furthermore, my graduate degree in secondary education empowers my ability to disseminate knowledge to students. In particular, I have abundant experience in teaching non-calculus physics and precalculus that can be put to immediate use.
I also have extensive experience with EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students and am familiar with effective instructional strategies that can enhance both subject knowledge and English ability.
I am committed to education in which students take ownership of their learning, in which they actively learn because they recognize the need for that knowledge. I strive to invoke this quality in students so that they may be successful even after they leave the classroom. For such students, I am prepared to commit to lifelong learning myself, so that my students may experience better education.

I majored in English at Queen Mary University of London, UK, and worked as an education and business writer for QS, an internationally recognised university rankings company, before gaining my TEFL qualification and moving to teach in Taiwan. One-on-one tutoring is without doubt my strongest suit, my favourite classes being when my students can debate on current affairs and discuss topics which excite them. In my personal life, I am a creative – I love to write and have recently finished writing a comedy screenplay for TV.

Due to my previous experience within academia in the corporate world, I am also skilled in business conversation and academic/university/study abroad mentoring.

If you'd like to know more about me, I’m available to contact by email or phone. I'm excited to hear from you!

I wish to submit my expression of interest for available teaching positions.

I have a Bachelor of Journalism (social studies/humanities minor) from James Cook University in Townsville, North Queensland, Australia and spent 9 months after completing my TEFL course in a full-time position teaching English language (Social studies focus) at Wachirawit Private High School in Chiang Mai Thailand. I moved to Vietnam in 2015 and have been living here since then, teaching a range of ages and abilities, from 3-35 year olds and from toddlers to working professionals in both the public and private sectors.

A positive and motivated teacher, I am committed to providing students with a dynamic and interesting learning environment in which they can grow and develop. I am familiar with employing the use of technology whilst teaching in the 21st century classroom, and I thrive on keeping on top of the latest resources and developments within the teaching industry. I seek to encourage students to enjoy extra-curricular activities and study groups, which I believe instils them with a self-directed lifelong learning..

To give you an indication of what to expect, an average week for me consists of 19-22 contact hours of teaching per week, mostly students aged 13-18, who are producing the language at a range from false beginner up to the intermediate level.

I would love the opportunity to assist in the development and progression of your students’ learning.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing my suitability for this role within your school.

Yours sincerely
