I am Deane Visser from South Africa.
I am 22 years of age and just finished my Bcom.Honors degree.

I am hard working, ambitious and always determined to achieve the goals I set myself.

I love working and interacting with children. I am very patient and will make clas fun and interactive.

I have a lot of experience with developing associates and teammates. I am known as a dedicated, results-oriented manager with the ability to build rapport at all levels. I have a successful track record of motivating employees to obtain maximum performance that leads to increase profits and revenue. I am a very outgoing person with a passion for teaching others. Bottom-line…..experienced leader, multi-tasker who enjoys a fast-paced environment.

I taught ESL in China for 18 months and this experience laid the foundation for my teaching ethic. I love seeing my students progress with their listening, speaking, reading and writing and I always plan activities to utilise these skills. I'm a patient, understanding and kind teaching and the goal of all my lessons, is that each student must walk out of the door having learnt something. I love smiling and am a happy and adventurous person. I enjoy the challenges that come with teaching a second language, and learning about a new environment. Living and working in China taught me a lot about myself as a teacher and I'm ready to use these skills in a new region.

I am now currently an online teacher and have 1 year expirience as a kindergardern teacher. I LOVE children and enjoy my job very much. I am a bubbly friendly teacher so I make the classes fun for my students while getting the job done. Because thier attention span is low I try to make classes fun so that it doesn't really feel like they are on a class but rather a fun learning environment. I enjoy working with children because I get to contribute to fundamental building blocks of helping shape thier future in English literature.

I am a very patient, organised person who adapts well to places and faces challenges head on with a big smile on my face.

I hope you will grant me an opportunity to prove how much of an asset I will be to your organisation.

Kind Regards
Lois Mvumi

I am currently in the process of completing an online 120 hour TEFL course in order to prepare me to teach English as a foreign language. I have a BA degree in English and German, due to one of my majors being German I took a semester off from university in 2017 to move to Germany, where I worked as an au pair in Munich for 3 months. During this time I took care of a 6 year old little boy and helped him with his English language learning. It was after this experience that I became certain that I wanted to pursue a career as an EFL teacher after university.

From September 2018 – December 2019 I worked as a nanny for a family with 3 children, 7 year old twin girls and their older brother who has Down Syndrome. This job involved picking the children up from school, preparing meals for them, helping them with homework, putting them to bed and minding them overnight when their mother had to take international trips for work. It was this job that verified my love for working with children and confirmed to me that I would like to be in a job where I am working with children in some capacity.

I have a great interest in foreign languages and cultures, hence why I chose to study German at university. Teaching English abroad allows me to combine two things I am very passionate about, by allowing me to work with children while immersing myself in another country's culture and language.

I am a native English speaker from South Africa. I am currently based in Hanoi, Vietnam and have been working with APAX English and with AMES English centre as well, with a combined experience of 2 years. I hold a Bachelor of Social Science in Geography and Environmental Management from the University of KwaZulu-Natal as well as an Honors degree from the University of South Africa in a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Management. have also completed a 120-hour TESOL course. Thus, I am confident that I satisfy the requirements listed for the position.

I have chosen to pursue a career in teaching due to my passion for wanting to make a difference as well as work with children. I am a hardworking, humble and easy-going person. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching over the past year and would love to continue this experience in South Korea. In applying for this position, I would hope to contribute to your school in a positive and supportive manner.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. I am eager to meet with you to discuss the position.

I'm a passionate, empathetic individual with a strong work ethic. Where I haven't had teaching experience, I have had previous jobs where leadership and teaching have been skills I have developed. I believe that teaching is one of the most noble professions one can have and know that I possess the skills that would make a great teacher.

I have completed my bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2019, and I have a keen interest in child development. I believe this is beneficial when teaching children because I can adapt to each child’s needs in the classroom. I have 4-years experience in caring for children between the ages of 2 to 11 years old. This is beneficial because I am capable of handling a wide range of issues related to children, such as tantrums or fights between children. I also know how to engage a child's interest through activities that keep them entertained and happy to learn. I love to work with children and I have an endless amount of patience. While babysitting I worked with children who only spoke French and I helped the older children do their English homework.
I have a real desire to improve the lives of others by teaching English. I look forward to creating exciting and engaging lessons to motivate my students and help them to learn effectively. It would be a privilege to teach English and help students connect to English speaking parts of the world.

Through my previous position in Spain, I have experience in teaching students of all ages from 3-4 year old toddlers to professionals in their 40's and above. I also have previous experience of teaching new skills to young people through my background in The Scouts, and I am quite good at finding the balance between maintaining discipline and ensuring a fun environment that is conducive to learning.

My educational background is, in my opinion, another advantage. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in The Humanities, which included modules in Psychology, Philosophy, History, Literature, Theology, Drama and Media Studies: all of which require an ability to understand and consider the perspectives of others, as well as promoting generally creative and "outside the box" thinking. Additionally, I believe teaching is a performance art, and my background in theatre (see CV) is very useful in this regard.

Teaching is one of my great passions, and my philosophy says that the needs of the students must always come first. For this reason I am always kind and professional when dealing with pupils of any age, but I also do not tolerate any bad behaviour in my classroom, as this is ultimately not good either for the other students or even for the student who is misbehaving.
