I have recently qualified as a primary school teacher and gained a PGCE qualification. Due to my qualifications, I was able to develop my understanding on how to support young children’s’ learning. I have always been intrigued in working with children and being able to inspire them. I am interested in this role because I feel I have the right skills to fulfil the requirements and have the right attributes for the position. I have gained a lot of different life skills as well as academic skills in order to be a good role model to young children. When reflecting on my character, I would describe myself as a hard working person who has the ability to handle difficult situations. My independence has meant that I was able to overcome obstacles without relying on other people, a key aspect of my life which will benefit me in further education to achieve my goal, to inspire young people. As I have spent a lot of time in a school environment, I am able to understand how the school system works. My good communication skills mean that I am confident when speaking to people all around the school and welcoming them in. Speaking an extra language (Turkish) has enabled me to communicate students/parents who have difficulties speaking English.

Through constant observation and engagement in dialogue with other practitioners both in and outside of my own school I have learnt a lot about different teaching styles and in turn been able to reflect on my own practice. Continual professional dialogue and exchanging of good practice with colleagues and fellow teachers has given me a deeper insight into the world of teaching. I believe asking questions and sharing experiences is the best platform for development. Only by researching, reflecting on my own and on others practice will I ensure that I continue to develop professionally.

I am an energetic, fun teacher with 13 years of teaching experience that include ages pre-kinder to elementary. I have taught in the USA, South Korea, Japan and Mexico. My last position was at a Chinese bilingual school in Seattle where I was the lead teacher for 20 pre-k students. I was recognized by parents for building students' English reading skills to a first-grade level. In Suncheon, South Korea, I worked for the government at City Hall where I taught ages kindergarten to middle school.

As a teacher, I take pride in my students' achievements and academic development. I have gained ample experience in the following areas:

Building phonemic awareness, phonics and vocabulary for reading and literacy.
Differentiating for diverse learners and ESL students.
Teaching math skills, including counting, using manipulatives, simple addition and subtraction.
Developing curriculum, assessing child development and managing a functional classroom.

Assets I would transfer to your school are my commitment to education, collaborative nature,
and openness to feedback. I have all of my documents, including apostille FBI check.

I have excellent written and spoken English as a graduate with First Class honours of English Literature from Trinity College, Dublin. I am a native speaker of British English and am currently enrolled in a 168 hour Level 5 certification course with TEFL, which I hope to complete by September.
I am a friendly and driven person eager to share my language skills with non-native and non-English speakers; I likewise hope to gain some tutoring experience from my TEFL course before moving to South Korea to teach. I am very interested in the culture and customs of South Korea and would love the opportunity to work in an exciting environment and completely immerse myself in both a new language and lifestyle. Though my current understanding of Korean only covers basic sentences and a limited vocabulary, I hope to gain greater proficiency by studying Korean alongside my TEFL enrolment, despite this not being a requirement for this role.
My best skills are my excellent organisation and time management, both of which helped me as Editor-in-Chief of TN2, a student-run arts and culture magazine. I developed my negotiation skills and interpersonal communication in this role, as well as learning the value of effective teamwork and a detail-oriented approach to new challenges. This leadership position also helped prepared me for teaching roles in terms of learning the values of both authority and mutual respect in a professional setting.
I have a comprehensive understanding of English grammar and writing, and my interest in literature which encouraged me to pursue my degree, gave me an understanding of the value cultural tools can have in creating new methods of education. I hope to apply my love of literature to future lesson plans and create new learning opportunities for those seeking to improve their English.

Good Team player, all previous and current experience taught me to effectively and efficiently work in a team to achieve great results through communication. Current experience enhanced my ability to meet deadlines and problem solve as required to improve services.

I believe, due to my previous professions, I have many qualities that make me a great candidate for teaching in Korea. In many of my previous positions, I engaged with a number of diverse communities and individuals. I have had no trouble at all with interacting with and teaching others.

I worked at the University of Essex as part of the university welfare staff. I acted as the first point of call for over 400 designated university students when it came to academic assistance and peer counselling. I learned the responsibility that comes with being an educator, particularly to a range of internationally diverse students with different needs and expectations. I understand was it means to be patient and compassionate with students when things are challenging and I am an excellent mentor and motivator.

In my job as a recruiter, I had many other experiences dealing with different cultures, interacting with clients and staff, from junior all the way up to senior management level in many European countries. I have had plenty of experience dealing with strict deadlines and high targets and so, I understand it is important to always be adaptable, prepared, and ready for anything.

In my career debating, I have experience coaching high school students in debating and public speaking in a number of formats such as Oxford, British Parliamentary, and Model United Nations. As such, I have learned the value of teaching others how to communicate clearly and effectively in a way that is still interesting and fresh. It would also be fun to teach these practices to new students!

On a personal note, I consider myself very professional, responsible and hard-working, but also someone who can be entertaining and fun!

I have tutored for three years at my university, giving me some experience in the education sector. I am always ready for a challenge, or a way to learn more about new cultures. I am normally very patient, calm, and positive with the students I tutor, and I am able to quickly think on my feet.

Dear Future Employer,

My name is Anna Babalola, I am a graduate from New England College with a BA in Fine Arts.I have experience in art for over 8 years and while in college I volunteered in a program to teach art to students starting from kindergarten to the 12th grade.
With the little experience I had teaching the students I am confident that I will be a great fit to either teach English or Art to students of whatever grade you are willing to assign me to. I am patient, friendly and easy to work with and because of my experience as an art major, I receive critiques well and also willing to learn. I believe the students are also capable of teaching me a few things as well.
If I were given the opportunity to work with the students and also my peers it would be a great opportunity for me as a recent college grad to gain experience in the field I have always wanted to work in. I hope to work with you in the near future.

Thank you for the consideration

Sincerely,
Anna Babalola

I have recently completed my BSc in Economics and Financial management from the University of Hull Business School, I also hold a TEFL 120 hours certificate. During my studies I produced high quality work and enjoyed engaging with other students.

I am bilingual in French having grown up in France. Growing up in a different country enabled me to have a dual culture and understand differences in languages. This was also useful as I taught english to french speakers whilst at university on online platforms.

I have also been a keen rower since the age of ten. Whilst at university, I was the club captain. This meant that I organised transport and people’s training sessions between squads. The competitive atmosphere and team spirit led me to finish fourth in France and third in the university championships. Undertaking rowing means that I am an energetic and focused individual who enjoys traveling and people.

Finally I completed an 18 month work placement whilsts at university in contract compliance. I managed my own time and was the lead audit for our French clients. Furthermore, I introduce a taylored training program for my department as I noticed an area for improvement within the company. I produced a professional and logical document that is used to train new comers within the business.

I am a BSc Psychology graduate from the University of Hull. As a student and having worked in the public hospitality sector I am experienced in working in a demanding environment, capable of organising and prioritising my own workload.

During my studies, I have completed three qualifications including mental health first aider training for both adults and children as well as a Level 2 Mental Wellbeing course for young children. I have gained the ability to apply both interpersonal and professional attributes when working with students of all ages and backgrounds. I am approachable and confident with the ability to work as a team, listening to and giving instructions whilst producing work of a high standard.

My ongoing passion is for dance, which I have consistently taken part in since the age of 4. In this past year, I decided I wanted to push myself further and after auditioning I was given the opportunity to teach my own ballet class to a select group of students within the University.

In the past I’ve worked with children of a wide range of ages all the way through from 3 up to around 14 years old. I have completed a placement at a primary school working with multiple age groups as well as shadowing a learning mentor whilst working with children with special educational needs. As well as this, for 2 years I voluntarily supported and taught dancers at my previous dance school and offered one to one sessions with children struggling with the technique in their dance classes.

Hello there!

My name is Courtney, and I am a 26-year-old South African and native English speaker with a love of other cultures and languages. I have a Bachelor of Science in Geography and am very friendly, energetic, reliable, responsible and an incredibly hard worker with a high work ethic. I am currently looking for teaching positions in central Seoul and am available to start as soon as my visa is processed.

I was formally trained as a facilitator in South Africa and Switzerland, and as a presenter in Belgium. I am also a qualified TEFL Teacher, having completed a 160 Hour course with an advanced certificate in teaching young learners. I have been privileged enough to have worked with youth aged 5 to 30 years-old from over 100 countries in a number of different contexts including running education programmes, delivering trainings, hosting summer camps and developing online learning materials and course curriculums.

I absolutely love presenting, facilitating and teaching and I have experience delivering classes and workshops online and in person to learners at many different levels from elementary to university level, in many different countries and cultural contexts. I am flexible and adaptable, and I am able to adjust my methods, activities and content level according to who I am teaching.
For the last four years I have worked for a Swiss nonprofit organisation that conducts youth education programmes in over 180 countries. In that time, I had the privilege of meeting people from, and living all around the world – including travelling to Seoul. Through my own experience, I have seen how learning a new language can connect you to the world in new and wonderful ways. I became an English teacher to combine my love of inter-cultural exchange and my love of public speaking and facilitating with trusted teaching practices to offer others the enriching and life changing opportunity that learning English provides.

I would like to teach in Korea because, of all the places I have been privileged to travel, Korea stood out among the rest for the kind and hardworking people and rich culture. I have always wanted to go back and to have the opportunity to experience living and working there.

I am excited to give you more information and I look forward to speaking with you.

Working in quality assurance in the food manufacturing industry has given me the opportunity to work though challenges with regards to teamwork and communication.
I have found that I thrive in environments where I can work in a diverse team in order to complete a goal.
Patience is a strength that I have learned through my interactions with different suppliers and clients.

My strengths in term of experience are customer service, problem solving and patience. Those are strengths I acquired while working as a leader in customer service for 5 years and a assistant manager for 2 years.

As for my personality strengths I would say that I am some who is adventurous, curious and flexible. I like to discover and learn new things. I also understand that not everything go accordingly therefore I don't might changing and adapting to a new situation or environment.

Some skills that I possess are teamwork, communication and leadership. I am not scared to take the lead on a project personal or professional and manage and motivate the people around me.

I have accumulated experience teaching children and teenagers aged 12-18 in a secondary (high) school and children aged 4-12 in a primary (elementary) school setting since October of 2020. This experience means that I would be able to create lesson plans that keep pupils interested and allow them to thrive. Due to COVID-19 classes have been extended to an hour meaning that I have experience keeping a class’s attention over long periods of time. I have learned to adapt to the more difficult teaching environment that Covid has created.

As I can play different instruments such as guitar, saxophone and tin whistle, I would be able to perform traditional Irish songs for the pupils and would encourage them to participate while teaching. If possible, I would enjoy setting up a music club in the school to encourage and teach anyone willing to take part. I would be capable of this task as I was an active member of my secondary school community helping to organise charity events such as book sales, bake sales and talent shows. For work in my community I was awarded a Gaisce President’s Award. To add to this, I was a senior prefect and mentor to children who had just started secondary school. In this role I was proactive in helping students with any issues that they needed to resolve and would be able to bring that experience to help in a Korean school community.

As a singer in a chamber choir called The Ramparts and from starring in two university plays, I have been exposed to the pressure of performing live in front of large audiences of strangers. The skills learned from these experiences have translated into my work as a teacher as I have no issues in dealing with stress and pressure. When teaching children, you must be flexible to all different levels of ability and background making my improvisational skills from performing applicable to a teaching environment. I have gained valuable experience teaching in a primary/secondary school and being part of a school community as a teacher. The feedback I have received from pupils and staff has been very positive and I would want to bring my enthusiasm and passion for teaching to the pupils in Korea. I have confidence in my ability and experience to adapt to the different learning needs of Korean students.

Importantly I hope that my experience in learning and teaching in Korea will help me have a deeper appreciation for the country’s culture, heritage and history. I am fully prepared to invest my time, energy and skills into getting the most of my class if hired.

I am a well organised individual, who brings creativity into teaching. In my current position working in finance I sometimes provide training to other members of staff as well as new joiners. There is a number of transferable skills I can utilise in this position, from organisation, admin, building relationships, time management and many more.

I am a very bubbly and charismatic individual. I have a huge personality and enjoy any activity that allows me to release my energy and flourish. Working with children is a passion of mine and I thrive off helping and watching others learn and grow.
I have travelled extensively throughout my life and love learning about new cultures and meeting new people. I am a big “foodie”, I enjoy good food and always eager to try new things. Music and dance play a huge role in my life and I am always incorporating it in my everyday life and activities. In addition, I enjoy staying fit by hiking, working out and group activities.

I am a kind, patient and positive person who loves working as part of a team and has a passion for teaching English and traveling. I have three years teaching experience in China and would love to teach again in Asia. I love teaching young kids and making school a fun learning environment. I’m experienced and calm in a teaching environment but would love to gain more experience and learn more myself.

I am an adaptable and quick learner who is hardworking and equipped to handle any challenges that may arise. I am good at dynamic problem-solving and try to view things with an eye for quality while still ensuring that the multifaceted nature of the tasks at hand are taken into account. I have worked diligently in various customer service and education roles that have garnered a wide range of skills including great communication abilities and mastery of time management. I am one who is friendly, with a cooperative and team-focused demeanor that is always ready for a new challenge. This has translated well into my work and allowed me to grow as an employee and a person. From previous experience, I have skills in various cloud technologies and office programs such as Microsoft Office, Salesforce CRM, Tencent teaching platforms, and social media. I am also adept and experienced at lesson planning, event organizing, and parent-teacher communication and training.

Taking a position as an undergraduate teaching assistant is what started and fueled my desire to join the field of education. This was further solidified and validated in my work as an ESL teacher for young and mid learners. It is through this line of work that I have discovered my love of languages, education, and seeing students grow and succeed in areas they never thought they could. This is a path I am excited to contribute to, enhance, and explore within South Korea.
