I am a TEFL-certified ESL dedicated English tutor with a passion for helping students achieve their language goals. I hold a bachelor’s degree and a 120-hour TEFL certificate. With three years of teaching experience, both online and offline, I’ve had the pleasure of helping students of all ages improve their English skills. I am a native english speaker with a neutral accent and a love for teaching. I am also kind, energetic, fun and patient.

As a certified ESL teacher, I bring a professional, warm, and flexible approach to every class. I believe in being well-prepared and organized, tailoring each lesson to meet the unique goals and needs of my students. In my teaching, I use a combination of different methods to ensure the best learning experience. These include practice and production and TPR techniques that help my students build confidence and fluency in English.

My expertise encompasses lesson planning, grammatical awareness, controlled practice with games, and the integration of functional language into my teaching methods. These skills were refined through my TEFL certification, which provided me with a comprehensive understanding of teaching English as a foreign language. My interest in education extends beyond my professional qualifications and experience. Teaching English as a second language is particularly rewarding because it opens up new opportunities for students and empowers them to communicate effectively in a global context.

I believe that learning should be enjoyable and empowering. My goal is not just to teach my students English but to inspire them to become confident and fluent speakers.

I am passionate about motivating and educating students in English and American culture, as I believe they are interconnected. I have a deep interest in exploring different cultures and traditions while sharing my own. Building a strong connection with students is important to me, as I believe it is crucial for effective learning and motivation. After completing a level 5 TESOL/TEFL course, I gained detailed knowledge of English grammar and developed strong written and oral communication skills. I am committed to continuously studying and acquiring more effective techniques and skills to become a more proficient ESL teacher.

Hi there.

My name is Siphesihle Magcaba, also known as Beka. I am 29 years from South Africa and currently residing in South Korea, Cheongju city. I have been working with elementary school students for 4 years now, 2 years in South Africa and 2 years in South Korea. I love my job because it allows me to contribute in the development of our future leaders. My teaching philosophy is that every student is capable of grasping the information taught as long as you can tap into their strengths as a teacher, this means that I use different methods for different students. I learned this skill from my job as an educator's assistant back in South Africa, my duties included helping students who had reading and writing difficulties.

Choosing me to be a part of your school will mean choosing someone who is dedicated; hardworking and would only be a positive influence to the learners.

Thank you.

Dear Director,

I’m a graduate from the University of Pretoria with a degree in BCom Financial Sciences. Following on from this I took and completed my 120-hour TEFL Certificate with TEFL Professional and Development Institute. During that time, I was also teaching English and Mathematics at Ebenezer Excellence Academy to students from the age of 9 to 14 years – a job I enjoyed immensely! I enjoy singing dancing and hiking on my free time.

I currently tutor children from the age of 8 to 18 years old at an orphanage home, I assist them to improve on their academic performance. I have been teaching English as a second language and Mathematics at a School called Ebenezer Excellence Academy. When I first started the position as a Teacher, I worked with an average of 15 students per class. As my role continued, my classes grew. Now, I teach 20 to 25 students per class period. In each of these classes, I worked with students with beginning to advanced skills in English, helping them achieve better scores on their assignments. On average, my students' scores on assignments and tests have risen by a full letter grade with my support.

One of the many skills that make me qualified for this position is my ability to learn languages. Currently, I have learned Zulu, Sesotho, Sepedi, Tsonga, Xhosa and Venda and I hope to learn more as I continue my professional career. My ability to learn these languages gives me a unique perspective when I teach my students because I think about learning their languages myself. I also can help students by teaching in their languages, helping them understand the words they need and want in English. This skill means I can teach students with diverse backgrounds. My teaching methodology is a learner-centered approach in which learners participate in the design, execution, and evaluation of their lessons in learner-centered classrooms. I allow the learners to participate in these choices, I give up more control and accountability. Additionally, I have learned how to transition from a directive to a collaborative leadership style. I allow learners to be free to walk around the classroom, work in small groups, and utilize centers.

Thank you for your consideration and time as you read through this letter and consider me for the English Teacher with TEFL certification role. I look forward to learning more details about the position and the organizations I would become part of in the role.

Sincerely,
Dineo Mogwera
