Through my experience to date, I feel I have many strengths suitable for this position. My role as a language teacher in Shanghai, China has particularly demonstrated these strengths by the resilience, adaptability and outgoing nature needed to move abroad on my own. I found my love for teaching and have proved my patient and caring nature with the teaching of Chinese children. I have excellent communication and leadership skills that I have gained by my work in managing a nightclub bar and leading a classroom as well as other various job roles I have completed. I love being challenged and am excited by the prospect of experiencing new cultures.

As a professional young woman, I am confident I have the qualifications required to contribute to your field of work as well as add some of my own perspective and experience. While my attached resume outlines my in-depth experience and professional development, it does not fully encapsulate my passion for teaching and shaping the minds of young children. Having been admitted to a mandarin emersion program when I was a child, I understand how important being bilingual is in every day life as well as professional development. It has allowed me to broaden my perspective and appreciate a wide variety of other cultures. My background includes roles such as an English as a Second Language teacher in the Philippines and a Sexual Health Peer Facilitator at Lewis & Clark College. Both of these roles have allowed me to master communication skills and a diligent mindset crucial for this job. Although these positions do not fall neatly under one category, they have pushed me to adapt and react to many different and uncontrollable circumstances. With my psychology major, I am able to understand other people from a very analytical and empathetic position that I believe would be extremely beneficial toward becoming an English teacher. Additionally, as a rhetoric and media studies minor, I will be able to provide effective theoretical and methodological tools for understanding how public messages, images, texts, stories, conversations, and symbols work in diverse societies. I am very passionate about working with children and have even begun work toward achieving my Level 5 TEFL certificate (168 hours). I welcome the opportunity to discuss any available positions and how my credentials and experience will add substantial value to your work.

I have nearly a year of English-language tutoring experience for students 5-18; topics I teach include academic essay writing, reading comprehension, grammar, verbal communication, listening, literature appreciation, and college prep English. I am motivating, upbeat, passionate, and dedicated to my students.

Aside from my English teaching experience, I believe my expertise in creating English-language content and experience in the Korean work environment makes me the ideal candidate for this position. All of my documents are ready to go for my E2 visa. In addition to this, I am currently taking a TEFL course and am expected to complete it by the end of March.

In High School I interned for a local ESL class for immigrants. Throughout my corporate positions I have lead peer training classes and forums on a regular basis, not all for language functions, but they all involved adult and youth learning skills and techniques.

Over all I am a go-getter. I like to set the standard. But, on the other side, I enjoy sharing my knowledge whether it is in conversation or a classroom. I also enjoy learning, especially new information, skills, and worldviews.

Outstanding skills include: organization, punctuality, preparedness, and flexibility.

I am excellent at getting along with many different people. I have experience at having to react quickly think of a solution to problems that crop up. I am an Eagle scout.

I am a committed, hardworking and conscientious English Literature and Language graduate from England, a friendly and vibrant member of the community, and good with people of all ages.

For the last three years I have been living in Beijing, working as a Lead English teacher at two different International Schools. This experience has allowed me to refine my understanding of the intricacies and details in the composition of the English Language and further inspired to continue teaching English as a Foreign Language. I have also spent time developing some important skills that are constantly utilised whilst teaching English including; how to develop lesson plans for interesting, intriguing and informative classes, depending on a variety of factors, classroom management and effective communication with colleagues with a different native language.

I am positive, confident and enthusiastic and after spending this time working in China I am excited and enthusiastic to continue developing my career, and I am open to any opportunities that may be available.

I am a licensed teacher with a genuine interest and passion for English language teaching. (I hold a B.Ed & B.A)+ M.A TESOL – both from Flinders University of South Australia).

I have taught in South Australia for the following:
.15 weeks of full-time teaching as part of my teaching degree
.6 months of part-time contract work for Baptist Care SA. I taught English, math, and research project (South Australian curriculum)
.Relief teaching for the Adult Migrant English Program + New Arrivals Program for Thebarton Senior College

I have all my documents ready (apostilled degrees and a recent national criminal history check).

I have accumulated a wealth of professional experience across multiple industries since the age of seventeen. I have previously worked in Southeast Asia during my time in the Merchant Navy, so I am familiar with working abroad and with people who do not speak English as their first language. I have a friendly, inquisitive and outgoing personality. I love new challenges and strive for success in everything I do.

Through my Geography major while I was in university, I discovered a great love of storytelling and intercultural communications. This love, when combined with my creativity and warm demeanor, make me an approachable and engaging teacher. Language is a fascinating communicative tool; my openminded approach and knowledge gained both through my studies in university and while getting my TEFL certification have shaped me into a curious, driven, and empathetic person.
I have worked teaching young children before, including children with learning disabilities such as autism, and I ensured every day felt both productive and fun for my students.

I have 8 years teaching in public schools in Korea. The majority have been with a co-teacher in the room but leading the class and activities on my own. I have experience planning lessons as well as testing after lessons. I easily connect with students and find ways to have then engage in class even if they are not as interested in English. I am willing to help students outside of class as well as play games in spare time. I like to prepare interactive activities so that students are not spending the whole class time listening to me speak but also having time and chances for them to practice. I get along well with other staff members and in the past have attended staff events outside of work.
