I bring a diverse and rich background in education with a strong emphasis on teaching and mentoring. My experience includes tutoring digital music production to adolescents and volunteering as an English teaching assistant for South Korean and Japanese exchange students. These roles have equipped me with effective communication skills and the ability to adapt my teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of learners. Additionally, my administrative role at Camp America, where I supported over 500 applicants, has strengthened my organizational skills and attention to detail.

I am passionate, dedicated, and enthusiastic about fostering the growth and development of young people. My role as a camp counselor demonstrated my commitment to students' well-being and development, showing my compassionate and supportive nature. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy working with colleagues to achieve educational goals.

In terms of skills, I have strong interpersonal abilities and a comprehensive understanding of teaching methodologies. Completing a 120-hour TEFL course has provided me with effective strategies for teaching English as a foreign language. My customer service experience has further honed my ability to engage with diverse individuals, offering tailored support and guidance.

These experiences and skills make me well-suited for the teaching position in South Korea, where I am eager to contribute to the academic and personal growth of students.

I recently completed my PhD in History from Drew University in New Jersey, US. I have three years of experience as a teaching assistant and one year of experience as an adjunct instructor. As an adjunct, I taught Introduction to Composition at a college freshman level and gained skills in course creation, curriculum alignment, progress reporting, classroom management, and student engagement.

Otherwise, I am an optimistic lifetime learner. I believe that education is one of the most important components of life and I aim to make learning fulfilling as well as fun.

I am currently in the process of completing a TEFL certification.

I am an energetic and driven individual who takes pride in my knowledge of the English language and hopes to share it with others to benefit their everyday lives. During my Bachelors Degree in English Language and Linguistics I studied phonetics, the speech sound-systems of English and other languages to broaden my understanding of how and why different cultures adopt different tools for speaking. This has increased the depth of knowledge when it comes to helping students with their speech skills and overcoming common mistakes when learning English as a second language. After my Degree I undertook a volunteer teaching assistant position at my local secondary school. During this time I worked with students age 11-18 in classes of 30+, helping them with classwork and any questions they had, along with helping keep students focussed and engaged. I also attended 'nurture groups': smaller classes (<10) with a variety of students who struggled in English, some due to being non-native English speakers, for example. During these classes I was patient and helpful, always eliciting the answer from students to encourage them to figure things out for themselves and build confidence. In my spare time I enjoy reading and writing fiction.

After completing my degree in Psychology and doing a Developmental Psychology course, I feel that I have developed a good understanding of how to work with children and understand their needs within learning spaces.

I also completed a Fully Accredited Professional Counselling Diploma Course which has given me an understanding of the different needs that children have in order for them to successfully grow and develop in their academic lives.

The TEFL Academy Level 5 course that I completed has given me the necessary tools and skills to be an efficient and helpful teacher. I feel that I have acquired a good knowledge base of what will be expected of me going forward.

I enjoy working with children and I have experience offering au pair services to overseas professional clients that visited South Africa. I was able to work and offer care to young children that had a limited understanding of the English language.

I am looking to push myself out of my comfort zone and travel to a country with a different culture. I am hopeful that this experience will help to challenge me and offer me the chance to develop a deeper understanding of myself and my professional career goals. I would be very grateful if you offered me this opportunity.

Hello Sir/Madam,

My name is Jordan Victor, and I am a 24-year-old recruitment consultant currently living in London. I was keen to reach out as I am currently exploring ESL teaching opportunities in Korea, and I was immediately drawn to your vacancy.

I previously studied done an exchange year in Busan, Korea back in September 2021 and have very fond memories of the country. I’ve always wanted to return to Korea and a more permanent basis but was keen to make sure that this aligned with my future career goals.

And having worked for 2 years I have come to the conclusion that I want to work in a role with more satisfaction and where I can truly make a difference, and I feel teaching offers exactly that through helping students to learn and enhance their abilities in the most enjoyable way possible. I also think, having been through a number of ups and downs as a student myself I’ll be keen to support students every step of the way.

Aligned with the opportunity to relocate back to Korea, I truly believe this would be a dream opportunity for me and I am keen to commit to a long-term future in this field. And I would be very grateful to have the chance to bring both my passion and skills to help elevate both your students and school.

Thanks,
Jordan

Ive completed a Bachelor of Arts in English and psychology, a diploma in educare and 120 hours tefl certificate. During my educare diploma I've completed my practicum at various daycare centres and at a kindergarten centres. I've also worked as a transcriptionist who was chanrged of editing and proofreading documents. I am very empathetic but I know how to resolve conflicts.

I have some 1 on 1 tutor experience which has shown me how various teaching methods can produce different outcomes. From my experience, I have also learned to pay attention to detail and the specific needs a student may have. I have a friendly and vibrant, yet calm personality. I am someone who is trustworthy, reliable and I enjoy helping others. My skills include being well spoken and creative, I am a good listener, excellent at communication and I am good an organisation.

I am an enthusiastic individual dedicated to helping others. My strengths lie in my patience, creativity, and organizational skills. I aim to foster independent, creative thinkers who can apply their English skills not only academically but also in real-life situations. I participated in a language exchange program focused on teaching English to non-native speakers, where I provided multiple examples and utilized images to ensure comprehension of words and phrases. This experience offered me valuable insights into teaching, a field I wish to continue pursuing due to my passion for assisting others.

I have four years of experience as a freelance English tutor for GCSE and A-level students. Through this work, I have learnt how to work one-on-one with students and tailor my lessons to the specific needs of students, teaching me how to be adaptable and responsive to different learning styles. Tutoring has also helped me develop my time-management and organisation skills as I have had to create lesson plans within a specific timeframe while balancing my other responsibilities. All these skills will help me maintain structure within a classroom and create a positive learning environment. I believe my role as a teacher will be to create a supportive environment where every student feels comfortable expressing themselves and asking questions, motivating them to learn. I am an empathetic, creative and patient individual which I believe will help me foster strong relationships with students and create engaging lessons. I also can adapt to situations quickly and have excellent problem-solving skills alongside strong verbal and oral communication skills. This combination of experience, skills and personality will make me an effective ESL teacher.

I have both online and in-person teaching experience. These experiences have given me abilities such as working well under pressure, lesson planning, and being team-oriented while yet being able to work independently. I've taught pupils of diverse ages, grades, and levels, which has given me greater flexibility, adaptability, and patience. I am an inquisitive individual who enjoys learning about many topics. I believe that being a teacher allows you to continually learn and share knowledge.

I have taught ESL three years online, elementary in Washington DC public schools, and have bachelors degree and masters degree from strong US institutions. My masters degree is from Columbia University and my undergrad is from Marymount College. I also have TEFL level 5

I am dedicated, hard working, and determined. I also am a very detailed oriented person and have good organization skills. I have an honest forgiving open personality. I am also proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook Express.

I have volunteer experience as an Au pair for a year, guiding two children under the age of 10 with their English homework and lessons. It allowed me to gain knowledge of lesson planning and class organization. I highly enjoyed my experience with teaching young children.

I am passionate and dynamic or, as I like to say, “always keeping things interesting.” I have a deep love and appreciation for languages and literature. My university degree in Language and Culture has grown my appreciation for gaining new knowledge and experiences. I am TEFL certified, which allows me to continue to share this interest with others as we grow and adapt to the ever-changing world. I live in a diverse country where cultural awareness is a necessity and a priviledge. We are a community of kindness.

I am resilient, patient and always prepared.

I have taught English In Japan for a year.
I had another ESL job in Japan for 6 weeks.
I have taught Spanish through zoom for 3 years.

I am patient, organized, good with technology, and cheerful. I believe I can make students feel happy, welcome and excited to learn a new language.

Currently, I am in Korea, having moved here 3 months ago to work at a hagwon.

While I currently work as an English Instructor at a hagwon, I did work in education prior to coming to Korea. This was as a 1-to-1 Learning Support Assistant to Visually Impaired Students. I did a lot of specialist adaptation and this kind of work is what made me want to continue working in education as it brings me joy to see students improve.

I have a range of interests outside work. One of my main interests is visiting museums, stemming from my love of history. Another hobby of mine is cooking and other interests include a range of sport including fencing, archery, skiing and kendo. Furthermore, as history is one of my passions, I have volunteered in a library close to home as well as participating in an archiving project with the National Archives.

In addition to these interests and passions, I have developed various skills throughout my education and employment. These skills include critical thinking, communication and presentation. As well as this I am a friendly, hard-working and organised person who does not give up easily until the task is completed to a standard that I am satisfied with.
