My aspirations align well with the individuals you are seeking to teach overseas English. In particular, the qualifications you are seeking, to teach ESL in Korea, leads me to believe I would make a valuable addition. Whilst I have no experience in a classroom, I have gained work experience whilst completing my studies. Moreover, while my on the job experience has afforded me a well-rounded skill set, including first-rate communication and analytical skills, I am:
– Goal orientated
– Focused
– Committed
– Respectful
In addition to my experience and personal qualities, I have a solid educational foundation and a passion for education. Please reviews my attached resume for additional details regarding my expertise and career achievements. I will follow up to request an appointment to discuss how my experience and background meets your needs.

I am an enthusiastic and hard working individual that is able to adapt to any given situation or task and execute excellent results. I am incredibly passionate about helping people learn and reach their full potential whatever their goals may be. As a result of my role as a compliance manager, I have a great deal of experience in training and coaching people of all ages and from different cultures which has allowed me to develop my communication skills to a high standard. I regularly create and present training sessions both live in a classroom setting and online via Teams/Zoom to a workforce of 80+ employees and complete performance reviews/needs analysis's to ensure that everyone is working at the required standard.

In October 2020 I enrolled onto my beginners language course in Korean where I successfully learnt how to read and write in Hangul, in addition to learning basic day to day communication and interaction skills in preparation when applying for teaching roles there.

I am incredibly excited about the opportunity to combine my industry skills with my TEFL qualification to teach ESL in South Korea. I have previous experience travelling including studying abroad in the USA and travelling across China after finishing my bachelors degree, therefore I am confident that I will quickly adapt to life overseas. Due to the covid 19 pandemic my plans to travel across South Korea this year were hindered, however now that restrictions have started to lift I am very eager to begin my journey working with Gloii.

I am a college graduate from the United States of America with a passion for teaching. I
graduated with a B.S in Biological Sciences and a 3.4/4.0 GPA from UCI. I have a certificate
in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) and have experience tutoring children of
different ages. I am a hardworking honors student with well developed communication, teamwork, and problem solving skills from years of rigorous courses and volunteer work.

I have an outgoing personality and I believe myself to be quite empathetic, so I am easily relatable to a diverse group of people and easily adaptable. In addition to that I love working with young people and I have been fortunate enough in my 5 years of working, I've worked as a facilitator/coach and a mentor from children as young as 6 years to adults who are 25 years – so, I work well with children and my colleagues as well. My educational background and career has harnessed my interpersonal skills, as I am also quite analytical, and work well within a team.

I have extensive sport's coaching experience which I believe is similar and relevant to ESL teaching. I have worked for 3 years as a sport's coach, working with children (ages 7-13), teenagers (14-18) and adults. This experience taught me how to manage both large and small groups of students. Working with children in particular has been extremely valuable as I learned to manage children who at times were loud and lacked concentration during lessons. My experience with adults was also rewarding as I learned that keeping adults focused on their motivation for learning was the easiest way to keep them engaged in a lesson. I have also recently completed a 1 month part-time English-assistant teaching role at a nearby school, and hold a separate 20 hour English teaching practicum.

Sport's coaching requires a great deal of attention to detail, as it requires one to analyze where a student is struggling and come up with a technical solution. I believe one of my primary skills is having a strong attention to detail, as I am an analytical thinker. I also come from a country with a rich cultural diversity, where one constantly has to move between different cultures. I believe this lived experience makes me a suitable candidate for this opportunity as learning to understand a new culture is something I am very familiar with.

I am energetic, fun, enjoy reading and love immersing myself in different cuisines.

I first noticed a need for EFL teaching during my time at University. International students often needed grammatical aid which prompted me to take on private tutoring. From this experience, teaching EFL stood out as the perfect chance to share the knowledge I possess with others as well as broaden my own educational experience. Making a difference in others lives by nurturing and expanding their abilities is a very fulfilling journey to partake in, for both myself and the students. While students will be introduced to a new skill, the classroom environment will also allow for me to develop strong foundational skills in communication and presenting.

Other than the private tutoring experience during my time at University, I have also completed a TEFL course to build a stronger foundation for myself as a teacher. I was able to gain a lot of insight during the course and gain valuable skills in areas such as classroom management, teaching various ages, varied teaching methods etc. As a naturally creative individual, I believe I possess skills which would make my lessons very interactive and engaging. This would be especially important when teaching younger children which happens my preferred teaching age (kindy-elementary). I am very well skilled in digital technology, which I would like to use in creating fun and interactive activities during English Class.

Working in different schools has allowed me to gain the skills, knowledge and determination of a teacher. As a trainee teacher I have developed professionally in my role by gaining a deeper understanding of the classroom structure, how to run a class and the different strategies that can be used in order to engage pupils. Through observing expert colleagues, I have discovered different strategies that can be implemented in the classroom; this has enhanced my own skills and strategies. I have high expectations of all pupils to enhance their learning journey, encouraging pupils to be resilient and reflective learners. In order to work with young pupils, patience, resilience, clear communication skills and good behaviour management are important factors. Working with children can be challenging at time, however their achievements are rewarding. Building a rapport with children is vital, having effective communication and creating a bond with children allows you to gain an understanding of their needs and their personalities.
The ever changing dynamics of a classroom require quick thinking and swift adaptations which are part and parcel of a teacher’s toolkit. I believe I stay calm under pressured conditions and am able to constantly adjust to new changes. Similarly, the school environment can alter very quickly; members of staff taken ill, unprecedented weather and outbreaks of illnesses. In these situations I like to act fast, create contingency and mitigation plan(s) and work collegiately with my colleagues to provide suggestions to help plans get underway without causing too much disruption to an already altered schedule.

I have recently qualified as a primary school teacher and gained a PGCE qualification. Due to my qualifications, I was able to develop my understanding on how to support young children’s’ learning. I have always been intrigued in working with children and being able to inspire them. I am interested in this role because I feel I have the right skills to fulfil the requirements and have the right attributes for the position. I have gained a lot of different life skills as well as academic skills in order to be a good role model to young children. When reflecting on my character, I would describe myself as a hard working person who has the ability to handle difficult situations. My independence has meant that I was able to overcome obstacles without relying on other people, a key aspect of my life which will benefit me in further education to achieve my goal, to inspire young people. As I have spent a lot of time in a school environment, I am able to understand how the school system works. My good communication skills mean that I am confident when speaking to people all around the school and welcoming them in. Speaking an extra language (Turkish) has enabled me to communicate students/parents who have difficulties speaking English.

Through constant observation and engagement in dialogue with other practitioners both in and outside of my own school I have learnt a lot about different teaching styles and in turn been able to reflect on my own practice. Continual professional dialogue and exchanging of good practice with colleagues and fellow teachers has given me a deeper insight into the world of teaching. I believe asking questions and sharing experiences is the best platform for development. Only by researching, reflecting on my own and on others practice will I ensure that I continue to develop professionally.
