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.
