I have worked with children and adults of all ages in training and teaching classes. I have spent almost two years teaching art to children of all ages at my local children's museum. I also have over 5 years of training experience working with adults of all ages, teaching them how to read technical manuals and operate various equipment. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree with majors in History and American Sign Language. I also hold an Associate of Science degree and am a member of the National Honor Society. I am highly skilled in communication and team building. I also have several years of experience in team leading and management.

Experience: My previous roles as a graphic designer, retail assistant, front-of-house hospitality staff and volunteer work have equipped me with experience working with people of various backgrounds and cultures, as well as communicating within different contexts and purposes. I have worked in professional and hospitality settings, and contributed towards helping clients achieve their communication goals while supporting them throughout the process.

Personality: I am a deeply empathetic person who is constantly putting myself in others' shoes, interested in their perspectives, and how their backgrounds and cultures affect how they see the world; this significantly enables me to understand others well and communicate with them on many levels. I am also a great listener and have a big heart for people. Creativity is a large part of my personality; I value creative expression and look for new ways to solve problems. While I am very open to new experiences and welcome free-flowing expression, I am also equally diligent and organised, and will apply practical methods to achieve my goals. Being an adaptable person, I am resilient in work and life and take on challenges with a broad approach.

Skills: My experience and personality have strongly developed my ability to find new ways to communicate and problem solve, in order to assist clients, customers, or anyone, to achieve an outcome. I work diligently and pay great attention to detail, organising the various aspects of any job for a neat approach. Taking team members into account, I listen well and bring together many inputs in the process. I also evaluate scenarios thoroughly and take great care in understanding those I work with so that I can apply the best approach to any situation.

I’m TEFL-certified with a background in training, facilitation, and people development, which has strengthened my ability to communicate clearly, lead with confidence, and adapt to different learning needs. I’m energetic, reliable, and adaptable, with a genuine passion for helping others grow. My strengths lie in creating engaging, supportive environments where people feel encouraged to participate and improve, combining structure with creativity to keep lessons both effective and fun.

I currently run the cardiopulmonary critical care laboratory at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY where I grew up. In this position, I design injury models and treatments primarily for cardiopulmonary disease and sepsis. I also handle all of the training of procedures and protocols for new lab members. I facilitate an Advanced Trauma Operative Management(ATOM) course for 4th and 5th year surgical residents. I work well under pressure and pride myself in managing my time efficiently. My drive and outgoing personality has allowed me to be successful in professional and personal settings. I also recently finished a 6-year service in the New York Air National Guard as an Aerospace Medical Technician where I served as the Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge(NCOIC) of laboratory operations. In this position, I developed and implemented all training and procedures in the laboratory to ensure patient health and safety. As a Basic Life Support(BLS) Instructor I held classes for the wing to enhance base readiness. In both of these roles I was able to successfully combine my love and passion for both science/medicine and teaching.

I have completed two practicums in the education system and have worked in two daycares. I worked closely with a grade one classroom and two students diagnosed on the spectrum in kindergarten in the catholic school board. For my second placement I worked online with a private tutoring company serving young learners within high school, as a child and youth care worker, tutor, and attendance tracker utilizing phone call check-ins. Currently I work as an Early Childcare Assistant in a preschool classroom educating young learners aged 2yrs 5 mo to 3 yrs 4 mo.
I am a creative, empathetic and enthusiastic educator who utilizes a strengths-based approach, reward systems which encourages students to gain independence and confidence within a safe and welcoming learning environment.

I’m very strong with teaching and connecting to children based off of my experience teaching in preschool and summer camps. I also have strength in making students feel comfortable and confident. Based off of performance exams from previous campers I taught this summer, students said they felt free to express themselves in my class. I’m strong in virtues like kindness, creativity, and leadership. I aim to better others well-being in small or big ways daily! As a server in a busy restaurant, I am very strong in multitasking, moving quickly, patience, and listening to others needs.

I am a clear and effective communicator. I am a able to speak English at the highest level and am an excellent educator. I have a background as a tutor with dozens of long term clients.

I bring a unique perspective to teaching English. With a strong professional background in
business and finance and experience working abroad, I understand the challenges and
opportunities students face when learning a second language for academic, professional, or
personal goals. I have successfully taught students from diverse backgrounds, tailoring my
lessons to suit individual learning styles and needs. My time in Brazil, where I also developed
Portuguese fluency, has reinforced my ability to connect with students in multicultural
environments and adapt lessons to their context.

As a teacher, my greatest asset is my bubbly and energetic personality, which I use to create an infectiously positive learning environment. I thrive on making personal connections with students, fostering a classroom atmosphere where enthusiasm is both encouraged and contagious. My ability to maintain a high level of optimism and approachability means I can quickly put students at ease, making them feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and fully engage with the material. This combination of warmth and clear communication ensures every lesson is not just understood, but genuinely enjoyed, driving both student participation and academic growth.

I am a passionate and adaptable individual who loves travelling and the cross-culture experiences that come with this. Being a Youth Worker, I also enjoy teaching children and working out how their minds work in such differing ways. With an English Literature degree from a Russel Group University, I have an aptitude for learning myself, as well as the skills to not only teach the English language, but look for ways in which to excel the children's vocabulary. I am eager to create engaging, student-centred lessons that support students of all levels to not only gain an interest for English, but come to love the language and the learning process that comes behind this.

The prospect of living (and working) abroad truly excites me. I love immersing myself in whatever culture I'm thrust into and would say I thrive in diverse environments. Growing up in London and studying in Liverpool, I have already lived in progressive places that uphold these diverse values and am enthusiastic at the prospect of continuing this.

I am a passionate, hard working, easy to get along with, and really enjoy working with kids of all ages.

I am originally from the USA, but attended school in Cape Town, South Africa for 3 years, and have been living in working in Mauritius. I have experience living in foreign countries and am able to quickly adapt to new cultures and environments. At the University of Cape Town, I took courses in French and Xhosa, so I understand what it is like to be a student of a language and what methods of teaching are most effective and engaging for students. Taking these language courses has also allowed me to understand the fundamentals of linguistics and the basic building blocks of how languages are structured.

During my time at university, I worked as sports coach at a local high school in Cape Town, in which I gained invaluable experience as an educator, and how to work effectively with teenagers. This job really taught me not only how to manage a group of students, but how to effectively plan out a lesson in a limited time slot, all of which are extremely useful skills that will translate to a classroom setting.

I have also participated in a language exchange program, which gave me the opportunity to meet with a student from the Democratic Republic of the Congo every week and teach them English while they taught me French. This program allowed me to gain experience with instructing non-native speakers in English.

While I may not have formal English teaching experience, I have completed a 120 hour TEFL course, and have worked in various situations that have given me experience with languages, working with students, and teaching. I also believe that my enthusiasm, ability to adapt to new environments, and my communication skills will make me an excellent teacher.

I am a TESOL-certified ESL teacher of 13 years with experience teaching youth/juniors as well as adults. I am a Canadian citizen and resident of 27 years and have taught in two of the biggest ESL schools in Vancouver, BC, Canada: SELC Canada and ILSC Education Group. Further, I have tutored ESL students and taught 3 weeks of online Zoom ESL classes. In addition to teaching general English classes, I also teach specialized ESL like pronunciation, film and drama, and screenplay writing workshops as well as resume/cover letter writing workshops.

I am a dynamic, caring, and energetic teacher who makes it a goal to keep classes an interactive and fun learning experience for my students!

I, Tshireletso Boitshepo Bonokwane, am applying for the English teaching position. I’m
from South Africa. I currently live and work in South Korea. I am a 31-year-old female. In
2023, I graduated with a degree in forensic science and technology. I received my 120-
hour TEFL certificate on August 10th, 2022. I’m currently employed at two public schools
in Anseong-si, Gyeonggi-do Province, South Korea. My main school is a middle school
where I work four days a week, and my travel school is an elementary school where I
work once a week and teach five sixth-grade classes. I started my contract in this current school and my travel school on 26th April 2023, and I’ll be completing my contract on 28th February 2026. I would like to start the job preferably in March or April 2026.
I think of myself as a diligent worker and a leader. I’m quite good at solving problems. I
value honesty and a hands-on approach, and as a team player, I am equally adept at
conveying the goals and vision of any organisation I work with. I collaborate with people on
a technical and human level. I ask questions and provide detailed explanations while being
patient. I have a strong background in education and a strong interest in kids and learning
in general. I believe that working as an English Native Teacher in South Korea for nearly
three years, together with previous experience in my home country as an Educational
Assistant at a combined school, has provided me with the necessary knowledge and skills
as a teacher.
Thank You
Miss T.B Bonokwane 

To whom it may concern;

I am writing to express my interest in the teaching position at your school. With a multicultural upbringing, rigorous academic training, and a passion for language and history, I bring a global perspective and strong intellectual curiosity to the classroom.

Originally from China and raised in Canada, I completed my early education across both countries and was awarded the Ontario Scholar designation for academic excellence. I hold a CELTA certification and began my undergraduate studies at Queen’s University in Kingston before transferring to Germany, where I completed my degree. I later earned a Master’s degree in Central European Comparative Studies from Charles University in Prague, graduating summa cum laude. This multidisciplinary program, rooted in history and cultural analysis, deepened my appreciation for diverse perspectives and critical thinking.

I have lived and studied in five countries and am fluent in English, Mandarin, French, and German, with additional exposure to Polish, Czech, Latin, Russian, and Finnish. This linguistic and cultural breadth enables me to connect with students from a variety of backgrounds and to foster inclusive, engaging learning environments.

Currently, I am seeking an opportunity to contribute to a vibrant, international academic community, recognizing the dedication to education, curiosity, and intercultural understanding.

Please find my CV attached. I would be happy to provide further information or references at your convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Warm regards,

I am an empathetic and hardworking educator with a strong work ethic and a passion for ensuring each of my students reaches their full potential.
I am a qualified teacher in the United Kingdom, holding Qualified Teacher Status, with four years of teaching experience. I taught at Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate for two years between 2022 and 2024. This is a private, independent, and international boarding school, in which 53% of the student population comes from overseas. Queen Ethelburga’s offers education to both primary and secondary-aged students, with varying levels of English as an Additional Language ability.

Over time, I have developed my teaching practice to become an adaptable and responsive teacher, able to identify barriers to learning and implement appropriate support to ensure every student can succeed. I am well versed in pedagogy, and as an advocate for lifelong learning, I strive to continually improve my teaching through research, observations, and current best practices. In addition to my PGCE in History, I am trained in phonics through the Ruth Miskin Fresh Start programme, and I also hold a Team Teach Level 2 qualification. I also hold a 120-hour TEFL certificate from TEFL.org, completed in 2017.

Prior to completing my teacher training in 2021, I worked as an SEND Lead Practitioner at York High School, supporting the effective running of the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities department. Within this role, I was responsible for identifying students with additional needs. I also taught phonics and targeted reading interventions to 170 students three times a week, in small groups of 10–12. I hold a Certificate of Higher Education in Primary Education Studies from the University of Cumbria (completed in 2011), and I have experience working with both primary and secondary-aged students in mainstream and special educational needs settings. To supplement my studies during this time, I also spent a month teaching English as a foreign language to primary and secondary students in a school in Nepal, as well as providing English lessons to school staff in my spare time.

Since leaving Queen Ethelburga’s in August 2024, I have been working as a supply teacher with Just Teachers. I have worked in a range of mainstream and special educational needs settings, in both teaching and pastoral roles. This experience has been highly beneficial to my teaching practice and has equipped me with the ability to walk into any classroom and create a safe and secure learning environment where each child feels valued and empowered to do their best.

I am currently based in the UK and am looking to start a new role in December 2025 or January 2026. I have a flight booked to Thailand on Tuesday 16 December, with a view to travelling to South Korea from there. I would be available to start from Friday 19 December. All of my documentation, apart from the CBC (which I have yet to apply for), has been apostilled and is ready, if needed.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Hello,

My name is Darron Barnwell, and I am from the USA. I have my 120-hour TEFL certification and University Degree in Business from the USA. Teaching is a pleasure for me, and I have taught the following age groups (kindergarten, primary, secondary, vocational college, and one-on-one private English lessons to adult learners). I would say my teaching style is Fun and enjoyable but very focused on getting the most out of each student. I am currently in Chiang Mai, Thailand but looking for EFL jobs in S. Korea. I am available immediately for work.

I am a TEFL-certified teacher with a diverse background in education, public service, and communication. My experience supporting learners through literacy programs, tutoring, and community engagement has given me the patience, adaptability, and cultural sensitivity needed to succeed in the classroom. I bring strong organizational skills, creativity in lesson planning, and the ability to build rapport across diverse groups. With my proven communication skills and commitment to helping others grow, I am eager to create an engaging and supportive environment for English language learners.

CORE COMPETENCIES

I am excited to apply for the TEFL Teacher position in Korea. As a qualified teacher with a master’s degree and extensive experience in both TEFL and SEND education, I am eager to bring my skills, adaptability, and enthusiasm to your school. In addition, I have developed educational resources that have garnered over 16,000 downloads and 48,000 views, reflecting the creativity, impact, and effectiveness of my work.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse student populations, including ESL and SEND learners, in the UK and internationally. My recent teaching experience in Delhi, India, enabled me to refine my ability to adapt teaching strategies to overcome language barriers and cultural differences. By using engaging, student-centred approaches, I ensured that all students made meaningful progress. Alongside this, my basic knowledge of Hindi and Marathi helped me connect more deeply with learners from different backgrounds—skills that I believe will be invaluable in Korea’s multicultural classrooms.

I also taught kindergarten children in Jinan, China, where I gained first-hand experience helping very young learners develop their foundational English skills. This strengthened my creativity, patience, and ability to design playful, interactive lessons that spark curiosity and lay the foundation for lifelong learning.

In the UK, I have held teaching roles at Ravensdale Infant and Nursery School, Weston C of E School, and Church Broughton C of E School. In these settings, I successfully implemented phonics programs, including Little Wandle Letters and Sounds, and used structured interventions such as Bucket Time and Ted Time to support both language acquisition and emotional development. To complement this, I recently completed a Trauma-Informed Behaviour Support certificate, which has further equipped me with strategies to nurture student well-being, build trust, and manage classroom behaviour with empathy and sensitivity.

As the founder of Phillip Sadula’s Maths Store Limited, I have also designed innovative educational resources for diverse learners, demonstrating my dedication to accessibility, high-quality teaching, and continuous improvement. Beyond academics, I bring a strong focus on holistic growth. As a qualified Level 3 Personal Trainer and former Change 4 Life Coordinator, I have promoted healthy lifestyles through physical education, extracurricular activities, and school trips.

I am excited about the opportunity to bring my qualifications, experience, and positive, student-focused approach to your school in Korea. I would welcome the chance to discuss how my background and skills align with your school’s mission and how I can contribute to creating an engaging and supportive learning environment for your students.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of joining your team and helping your students thrive in their English language journey.
