I have a background in Linguistic and Intercultural Studies, with my Bachelor's Degree being in Communication Studies. This allows me to adapt quickly and effectively to new environments and experiences. As an extrovert, I really enjoy interacting with new people and learning new things. I’m always open to new perspectives and opinions, and love education and the environments it creates. When I set my mind to something, I don’t give up until I’ve done it to the best of my abilities. I complete every task and assignment, and give it my all. I’m very determined in pursuits I care about, and have a strong work ethic. I'm comfortable with many different software programs, and can learn new ones quickly and efficiently if needed.

I am bilingual in Vietnamese and English with more than 10 years of experience in education, beginning as a mentor and volunteer. I hold a B.S. in Special Education (Adapted P–12) from the University of West Georgia and a TESOL/TEFL certificate I currently teach in an elementary public school. I have worked with adults and youth who do not speak English at a technical college, and with my coursework and professional background I believe I can bring meaningful opportunities to diverse students. I was born and raised in Vietnam and came to the United States at 19. I am 55 years old and have two daughters who are both college graduates. I can teach learners of all ages, I love my work, and my goal is to ensure every student has the opportunity to learn and grow to their full potential. I am excited to learn more about Korean culture and to teach English in South Korea. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, cooking, and being outdoors.

While I do not yet have extensive teaching experience, I spent four weeks in Bali in August 2025 volunteering as an English teacher to children aged 5-11. This gave me valuable practical experience in planning lessons and adapting learning activities to different abilities. I also believe that my background working in healthcare has given me strong transferrable skills that would be highly beneficial in a teaching role. These experiences have strengthened my creativity, problem-solving skills and ability to adapt quickly to changing situations – all of which are essential when planning and delivering lessons.

In terms of personality, I am patient, empathetic and approachable and work well in environments where building relationships and communication are important. I am also eager to learn and confident that I would adapt quickly to this new role and be contribute positively to the classroom environment.

I’m good at customer service, team work, as well as working in a fast paced environment. I grew up with 3 younger siblings so I’m good with kids. I’m physically fit and I enjoy dancing, painting, and singing.

I am writing to express my enthusiastic interest in the ESL Teacher position at your school. With a
professional background spanning both in academic instruction and professional media, I offer a
unique combination of classroom precision and high-energy student engagement.
During my time as a teacher at Primrose Galleria, a premier American preparatory school, I was
responsible for delivering high-level curriculum centered on literacy, STEM, and character growth.
My approach focuses on maintaining a structured academic atmosphere where students are
encouraged to surpass standard developmental goals.
What further sets me apart is my 4-year tenure as a Creative Project Manager for a news/TV
station. My media experience allows me to lead a classroom with the authority and storytelling
required to keep students captivated. Whether I am tailoring a lesson to help a student master
letter formation or connecting classroom topics to the real world, I strive to make learning English
a lived experience. I have even heard my students independently recite their lessons while playing
outside on the playground!
I am skilled in:
• Classroom Leadership: Building a safe, organized, and high-achieving learning space.
• Dynamic Engagement: Leveraging my energy and storytelling background to maintain student
focus.
• Collaborative Communication: Working alongside parents and leadership to ensure learning
goals are met both in and out of the classroom.
I am confident that my work ethic and communication skills will make me a valuable asset to your
faculty. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Keirra Ewah-Washington

With a Master’s degree in Journalism and six years of experience working in media, I have developed an exceptional command of written and spoken English. My work as a journalist required me to communicate complex ideas clearly, understand the structure and nuance of language, and engage with people from a wide range of backgrounds. These skills, combined with my recent TEFL training, have given me a strong foundation for teaching English.

I have also taken on management responsibilities in recent years, mentoring and supporting junior journalists as they developed their skills. I found this highly rewarding, and it played a major part in motivating me to pursue teaching.

Alongside my professional experience, I possess a strong interest in cultural exchange. I have travelled widely across Europe, North America, and South-East Asia, and these experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt to new environments and connect with people from different backgrounds.

In terms of personality, I am warm, outgoing and charismatic. These were also essential qualities during my years in journalism, and they put me in a great position to bond easily with students and colleagues.

I recently returned to the United States after working with kindergarten and elementary students at SLP Osan. I taught phonics, reading, speaking, and writing. Additionally, I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and a 120-hour TEFL certification.

My strengths come from a mix of classroom exposure, strong communication habits, and a calm, people‑centered personality. Through substitute teaching, I’ve supported learners by giving clear instructions, breaking down information simply, and helping students stay focused and confident. I’m patient, adaptable, and empathetic, which helps me build trust and respond well when students are unsure or need extra guidance. My background in coordination and communication also means I stay organized, prepare thoroughly, and keep lessons running smoothly, while my creativity helps me design engaging, easy‑to-follow activities for English learners.

I have a strong background in communication and working directly with diverse groups of people. Through my roles with organisations supporting refugees and survivors of trafficking, I gained experience engaging with individuals from many cultural backgrounds and communicating information clearly and sensitively. I have also organised large-scale events, managed forums and written professional communications for a wide range of audiences, which has strengthened both my written and verbal English skills. These communications include social media, open letters and speeches for events.

Personality-wise, I’m friendly, curious and adaptable. I have a very positive demeanour, and I enjoy creating open, collaborative environments where people feel included. Within the context of my work running refugee drop-in sessions, my personality helped create an environment where people felt comfortable participating, asking questions and seeking guidance.

In terms of skills, I bring strong organisation, clear communication and attention to detail, as well as the ability to explain ideas in an accessible way. I’m also currently completing a 120-hour TEFL course to establish my English teaching skills.

I have a bachelor's in Ecology from the University of Georgia, and a TEFL certificate from The TEFL Academy. I have all my documents ready including apostilled background check, diploma, and passport. I'm very excited about the opportunity to teach English in Korea.

I have a background in accounting, but I do also have some experience teaching. I was a graduate teaching assistant at New Mexico Highlands University for one year, where I was grading students' assignments and holding office hours once a week. Later on, I worked at the Athens Georgia YMCA for 2.5 years as a lifeguard, and also teaching swimming lessons to children ages 6-12 and adults. I believe I'm a naturally good teacher. Since I'm a naturally inquisitive person and I love to learn new things, my teaching philosophy is to try to tap into students' natural curiosity and get them excited about the learning process.

I am a friendly and open-minded person, and I do well in a team dynamic. The reason I'm interested in a hagwon job is that I've heard it's a good place to start one's teaching career. I would prefer to teach primary, but am open to teaching some kindergarten classes if the job requires it.

I recently completed a Level 5 TEFL certification and enjoy helping students gain confidence using English. I have experience working with children through tutoring and youth programs, which helped me develop patience and strong communication skills. I am energetic, positive, and dependable, and I enjoy creating a classroom environment where students feel comfortable speaking and participating. I always try to make lessons engaging so students stay interested and motivated to learn.
