I believe that my strong language experience and education makes me a highly competitive candidate for this position. My key strengths that would support my success in this position include:

I have strong communication and language skills.

I am hardworking and always try to motivate others.

I can develop good relationships easily.

I am talkative and always make others feel comfortable.

My name is Leeahn, and I saw your institution’s Korean language teaching job posting on the ‘glassdoor’ website and am submitting my application for your consideration. Currently, I am working at SJ Canada which is agency that helps the process for Korean students to study abroad in Canada. I got MA TESOL degree at the University of Bath and completed my program in September, 2022. My dissertation title was “Exploring challenges and strategies of South Korean EFL teachers in the process of material development using communicative language teaching approach: The role of teaching experience”. My experience with the dissertation would be really helpful in a potential role at your institution because I will use authentic materials which support students’ interests, which will encourage students to engage in my class. Moreover, my course would be helpful for this position since it helped me to learn how to teach linguistics. As a native speaker of Korean, I am confident with this job and the skills that I learned during MA TESOL will translate easily to teaching in Korean since it is about how to teach the language effectively to the learners.

Before my studies at the University of Bath, I graduated with a Bachelor of History Education in 2018 and began teaching History to 11th graders at the Global Vision Christian School in the 2018-2019 academic year. At the school, used a range of teaching methods to suit the needs of every class, inspiring my students with diverse group activities, interesting videos, and games. Furthermore, I developed the social studies curriculum in weekly meetings with my colleagues. These meetings made me confident when communicating with my colleagues and management teams.

I approach teaching enthusiastically and passionately by focusing on helping others become the best version of themselves by creating engaging and valuable Korean language learning. My qualifications and approach to teaching would make me a good fit for your department. Also, I am quite excited to share my language and my culture with the students at your institution, and also get the chance to experience Chinese culture.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you regarding the next steps!

Sincerely,
Leeahn Kim

While working for a long time as a production PD at MBC Radio, I directed and produced a number of programs. Representative directing programs include [Lee Jeok's Starry Night], [Lee So-ra's Music City], [Yoon Jong-shin's 2:00 Date], [Tablo Cho Jeong-rin's Close Friend], [Kim Ea-na's Letter at Night], [Park Kyung-lim's There are [Starry Night], [Lee Joo-yeon's film music], [Bae Chul-soo's music camp], [Son Seok-hee's Attention] (Director) / [Idol Radio] project.

While producing/directing programs, I have won numerous broadcasting-related awards, including [Korea Broadcasting Awards], [PD Awards], and [Broadcasting and Communications Deliberation Committee's [Good Program of the Month Award] (awarded twice).

When I was working at MBC, I had the experience of covering and staying in many countries for about 2 years (6 months in Europe, 3 months in China, 3 months in Southwest Asia, 1 month in Africa, etc.) I watched a number of cultureal performances.

Also, while serving as the head of FM at MBC, I was in charge of donating 20,000 traditional folk songs of [Finding Our Sound], recorded by seniors at MBC Radio for 30 years, to the city of Seoul for free. At the time, there was a lot of opposition within the company, but I actively argued that donating our precious intangible cultural heritage with the spirit of our ancestors to the museum is the best way to make keep our traditional folk songs. Finally, I was able to convince them. As a result, the Seoul city Government was able to establish the [Our Sori Museum] in front of Changdeokgung Palace.

About 80% of the programs I directed were popular music related programs broadcasted on the MBC-FM channel. For this reason, we made a mini-concert every week in a live broadcasting studio on a small scale, and [MBC FM Summer Music Festival] on a large scale, attended by over 50,000 people.

In addition, I participated in directing [Jam Concert] (5,000 audience), summer vacation camp, etc. while directing [Starry Night], and while directing [Lee So-ra's Music City], monthly small theater concert [FULL MOON’S MUSIC PARTY]. In addition, we have successfully directed large-scale performances such as [MBC FM- DJ Concert], which is the largest annual event of MBC-FM.

Having worked as a radio PD at MBC since 1994, I have been directing live broadcasts for 2 hours every day for 25 years. In order to direct live radio broadcasts every day, you need to be able to communicate smoothly with not only seniors in the media like Son Seok-hee, but also star musicians like singer Lee So-ra and rapper Tablo, so that the program can produce high results. While I was producing these programs, I made sure that many of them occupied the first place in the same time slot listening rate.

Producers of radio programs always need the ability to communicate well with writers, engineers, and other staff, as well as relationships with star hosts. As a specific example, while directing [Son Seok-hee's Attention], I made sure that a healthy, tense relationship was formed among the host, a famous anchor, and the big-time politicians who appeared in the show. In addition, numerous complaints regarding the contents of the broadcast were raised daily from both sides, but efforts were made to ensure that the program does not lose its sense of balance through discussions with the staff.

While working as a radio program production director (PD) at MBC, I have always thought that radio PDs play a role similar to that of a Korean language teacher for listeners. As radio PDs, we must use only sound to help listeners understand the content in their native language.

Over the course of 26 years and producing over 30 programs, I have always made an effort to use correct Korean language and have studied it as well. With this knowledge and experience, I would like to provide enjoyable and fun, yet proper Korean language education to students

I have communicated well with students and improved their grades.

While working for a long time as a production PD at MBC Radio, I directed and produced a number of programs. Representative directing programs include [Lee Jeok's Starry Night], [Lee So-ra's Music City], [Yoon Jong-shin's 2:00 Date], [Tablo Cho Jeong-rin's Close Friend], [Kim Ea-na's Letter at Night], [Park Kyung-lim's There are [Starry Night], [Lee Joo-yeon's film music], [Bae Chul-soo's music camp], [Son Seok-hee's Attention] (Director) / [Idol Radio] project.

While producing/directing programs, I have won numerous broadcasting-related awards, including [Korea Broadcasting Awards], [PD Awards], and [Broadcasting and Communications Deliberation Committee's [Good Program of the Month Award] (awarded twice).

When I was working at MBC, I had the experience of covering and staying in many countries for about 2 years (6 months in Europe, 3 months in China, 3 months in Southwest Asia, 1 month in Africa, etc.).

While working as a producer of radio programs at MBC, I have thought that radio PDs play the same role as Korean language teachers for listeners. This is because radio producers must make contents understandable to listeners solely through sound and in their native language.

While producing about 30 programs for 26 years, I always tried to use the correct Korean language and studied Korean language. Based on this knowledge and experience, I want to teach the right Korean language in a fun and enjoyable way.

As for me, I can approach new things enthusiastically, and do not like working alone (Sometimes, I used to love taking a exercise alone, swimming, climbing a mountain and jogging). Furthermore, I am an outgoing and sociable personality to adapt myself to new environments very quick. My blood type is O so enjoy meeting people and adjusting each opinion and really happy to create synergy effect. Meanwhile, my weakness point is that it is hard for me to get angry. Instead of that, I tried to understand other person’s situation and consider why he(or she) could do that. So I constantly have a time to take a exercise so as to relief stresses.

I began tutoring students at a young age. I tutored kids of the same age for their TOEFL exams at 16. I also have experience working as a teaching assistant to elementary school students and years of experience working with kids from ages 5-13. I have a psychology degree and am extremely interested in developmental psychology and the education of children. I have an outgoing personality and get along with children easily. I also speak multiple languages and am very adaptable to any environment.

One of my key strengths is communication both as a speaker and in writing. As a professionally qualified tour guide and teacher with over a decade of experience I am a clear and articulate communicator. I also have over six years experience working in project and programme management at UK Parliament, a role that included communicating complex and varied information in written reports to management boards and Members of Parliament to inform and influence decision making. I very much enjoy meeting and connecting with people from different backgrounds and cultures both through my work and through my extensive solo travels by bicycle which have seen me cycle over 40,000km through 50+ countries around the world.

As a professionally qualified Project & Programme Manager I have strong well practiced skills in business planning, resource and stakeholder management and best practice in governance and reporting. I have contributed successfully to large project initiatives across corporate, information and construction projects while maintaining impartiality. I have an organised approach to tasks.

I am a resilient and resourceful problem solver having worked in high pressure situations and on high profile projects. For example I have safely led a tour group out of Parliament during a terrorist attack on site and I have cycled solo and unsupported across the Negev, Gobi and Sahara deserts. In my profession I have analysed data in reports to senior management and MP's which have directly influenced policy, for example implementing the Outreach Services Westminster sessions and the schools travel subsidy project which contributed significantly to the core objectives of these services and created broader access to information for public and students.

I am a curious and proactive individual who has a great deal of experience interacting with people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures and I understand the importance of treating everyone equally with respect and honesty.

I have a wide variety of experience teaching abroad, especially in East Asia, so I'm familiar with the kind of pressures that students in Qingdao face. I am passionate about education and have studied widely in the Humanities, achieving first-class honours in English at Durham University, studying for a year abroad in Hong Kong, and attaining competitive scholarships for my Masters degree at the University of Oxford. I am very excited by the prospect of working for an international school, and am particularly interested in working with secondary level students.

Dear Hiring Manager,

I was thrilled to see your openings for teaching positions. I am an energetic, detail-oriented, passionate individual from the United States who holds a Bachelor's degree from the University of San Francisco. I graduated in May 2022 with a 3.94 GPA. I have 6 years of experience with children, including 4 years of private tutoring, 2 years of match instruction, and most recently, experience teaching English to Korean, Japanese, and Chinese students through virtual platforms.

In 2018, I graduated from Whitefish Bay High School, which is ranked #249 of 17,843 schools nationally (top 1.5%). I graduated with 4's and 5's on 6 AP subjects as well as a 33 on the ACT. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish.

I am skilled in experiential learning, tailoring plans to individual needs, and implementing innovative resources (such as videos, metaphors, real-life situations) to communicate information. I'm an energetic and organized person who has a huge passion for instilling a love of learning to children. I enjoy creating a fun, engaging environment conducive to learning.

I have my diploma and background check (both with apostille) all ready. Please review my resume and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Julia

I think I have a strong adaptability. I've adapted well so far despite the changes in the environment. I think life in a foreign country can be difficult for some foreigners. If so, that will affect children's emotions.
I think my adaptability is my strength in that regard.

And also, I have a very strong affection to children. Especially, to emotionally sensitive children. This is why I have choice my major to education psychology. I am particularly interested in counseling. I think my skill will be helpful to teach children.
