I am a motivated individual who is realistic and acknowledges the many challenges that teaching will bring and strives to meet them. Recent teaching experience has taught me that every child is capable of reaching tremendous heights and it is my goal to possess the required skills, qualities, and attitude to successfully play a key role in helping them to achieve their true potential.
In my experience as a teaching assistant at a local secondary school I gained an insight into both the demands of teachers and the importance of teacher/student relationships. This role required initiative, self-confidence, and the ability to remain calm and composed in challenging situations. I have developed the ability to interact with pupils on a professional and nurturing level. As well as subject planning, I was responsible for preparing worksheets, activities, and homework to enable students to improve their grades. I became aware of the satisfaction that can be gained in working with children through observing their development, progress, and achievements. Initial teaching skills were developed when I began working as a tutor which consisted of two hours per week at the local community centre. I planned and delivered revision sessions allowing the students to compare what they knew before the revision lesson and what they knew after it was discussed as a class.

Seoul, Korea is my homeland and I have not been back since I was young. When I was three months old, I was sent on a plane from Seoul, Korea to the United States. Right as I was birthed, I was taken out of my biological mother’s arms and was immediately placed into the Korean governmental foster care system. She desperately wanted me to have a life that could provide me with opportunities and privileges in America. I am a first generation, Korean American college graduate in a Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) major.
In college I made it my goal to be educated on a magnitude of disciplines, I wanted to be diversely educated on many subjects. I did not want to only focus my education on one specific topic, I took advantage of the different classes that are offered. I have a strong cultural background that greatly makes up who I am. When I was an adolescent my American parents decided this would be a striving age to expand my personal education through cultural immersion. The main principle of the cultural immersion is to physically and mentally explore the different and unique cultures, but most importantly to be a part of a diverse community. I have mainly focused my scholarly career on environmental science, and integrating general science and mathematical studies, as well as cultural classes that include language. My goal is to do the most I can with the knowledge I have gathered so far into my life by helping and supporting others.

Having over 2 years experience working as a teaching assistant at St Barnabas and St Paul’s Primary School, I have gained invaluable skills working with children of all abilities, including children who do not have English as their first language. Among my responsibilities, I plan and lead group interventions, which include speech and language interventions. Through working at a primary school, I have expanded on my ability to adapt to changing circumstances, whilst continuing to provide a professional and engaging attitude. I would bring a passion for learning and a positive attitude to the team, as well as a keen determination to become the best possible teacher I can be.

I have excellent teamwork skills, which I have been able to expand on through working as part of a large team whilst working in the catering business, as well as my current job working in a large school.

To give myself the best possible start to an ESL job, I have also obtained a 120 hour TEFL certificate from TEFL Org, and I am excited to put into action the knowledge and skills I have acquired through my course.

As a physical geography graduate, I have a passion for exploring new places and immersing myself in diverse cultures. I am extremely friendly and approachable, and I am keen to embark on a new adventure.

While obtaining my Bachelors degree, I worked at an after school program called Wings for Kids, teaching social and emotional learning skills to Kindergarten students. I led a daily schedule of activities including games, group discussion, academic center time, and project based learning time. I obtained my 120 hour TESOL certification in 2018. My professional experience teaching in China includes my time working at an English training center educating young learners from the ages of three to twelve. I prepared lesson plans with the provided curriculum, adapted my teaching methods to meet the needs of my different students interest and abilities. I utilized technology, flashcards, music and games to enhance the students learning experience. In my role as a Homeroom Kindergarten teacher, I was responsible for about 25 students between the ages of 1-3, an at that age its mostly repetition and memorization so we focused on listening and speaking in the majority of our lessons. I also had a 30 minutes period 3 days a week teaching 4-7 year olds mainly focusing on their reading, writing, and grammar. I am passionate about teaching young learners, and my energetic and bubbly personality radiates into their learning experience. I get a great sense of joy from seeing my students develop and grow as individuals. I am a patient person, who enjoys learning from others and committed to my own growth and development as well.

Dear Sir or Madam
I am writing to apply for the opportunity to teach EFL with your school as advertised via The TEFL Academy. I am a 25-year-old female English native speaker from South Africa. I have taken a strong interest in pursuing my career in English teaching as I have a friend who is currently teaching abroad. They described their experience as truly fulfilling. I am an avid novel reader which has always made me fond of the language. It had never occurred to me I had a skill that could be passed on. I would love to be given the opportunity to teach and help students increase their proficiency in the language.

I have recently obtained training in teaching English as a second language by completing the 168 hour Level 5 TEFL Certificate with The TEFL Academy and the Teaching English to Young Learners (30 hours) course. Moreover, besides being a recently graduated ESL teacher, I have also obtained a Bachelors of commerce degree and a Bachelor of commerce Honours degree in management. I am certain in my ability to become the most dedicated English teacher. I would like to offer you a blend of talents and experiences.

Some of my key strengths include:

 Able to plan and organize efficiently
 Demonstrated ability learn quickly and manage time well
 Highly skilled in establishing clear objectives which can be translated to lessons, units, projects, and other activities.
 Fluent and well versed
 Able to work long hours and weekends

I currently await the arrival of my TEFL certificate. If there is any other information you require, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully
Miss Farah Khan

(I do apologize I do not posses any professional portraits of me smiling, I will take some and hope to forward them to you)

Experience: Volunteered as teacher in multiple countries
Personality and Skills: I love languages (both teaching and learning, as well as writing). I'm outgoing and passionate about foreign cultures. I like to teach through using real life examples and emphasizing each learning style.

I am bright, determined and open minded aspiring teacher who is determined to enrich the lives of the people I teach and gain noteworthy experiences and knowledge from my future journey as an English teacher. I am hopeful that I will be able to achieve such things after establishing a connection between me and Gloii Consulting.

While I do not have formal experience in teaching but I do have 3 years' experience with tutoring young Chinese natives English and Mathematics, so I have experience in working with teaching children. What I lack in experience, I am determined to make up in tenacity and an eagerness to teach. I also have many skills from prior experiences and jobs that I believe make me fitting for the job as an English teacher. I also am accustomed with Korean culture, which I believe makes me an appropriate candidate for teaching within the country.

If someone were to ask me what my teaching philosophy was, I would have to say that I believe that when it comes to teaching there needs to be a good mix of authority and understanding as learning a language is a journey. If the teacher is too firm or cold, it could potentially discourage learners from wishing to try and can be detrimental. You need to be able to allow learners to make mistakes, in order to help them correct them and improve.

I have strong understanding of the importance of communication, and how to interact with people from a range of different backgrounds and age groups.

I am a responsible, reliable and outgoing person, who can quickly adapt to different situations and can cope well under pressure.

I really enjoy helping people, especially the feeling of accomplishment when I have helped motivate someone achieve a personal goal.

I also appreciate the importance of maintaining a balance between work and fun, to ensure there are high levels of productivity while still being engaging/

Having passed the 120 hour online TEFL course, I flew to Hanoi in January 2020 to begin an EFL teaching internship through Fluent Vietnam. This included teacher training in Hanoi, and further training through Dang Tuan Language Centre in Haiphong, using the Cambridge curriculum. I delivered ten 40 minute lessons with primary school students (aged 5 – 10), before schools closed across the country due to the Coronavirus pandemic. As Haiphong is located 1700km from the Chinese border, I made the difficult decision to cut the internship short and fly back to the UK early February.

The reason this vacancy appeals is the incredible opportunity to explore South Korea, whilst honing my teaching skills over the academic year. Having travelled to Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam, I’m really keen to learn about the history and culture of SK, taste the cuisine and visit the beaches, museums, and cities.

What I can bring to the role is a confident and methodical approach to teaching, which allows the students to figure the language out for themselves, and apply it naturally. I have a clear English accent, which will be easy for the students to understand, but will also help with pronunciation.

Throughout life I have always felt a pull towards helping others in any way that I could. This is what I consider one of my strengths, as I will always do my best to assist those around me with their needs.

Throughout my varies jobs such as waitressing or working as a reservations agent, I have learnt how to effectively communicate and help many types of people. From difficult to friendly, I am able to understand people’s needs and how to approach all situations thoughtfully. I am adaptable and able to learn on the spot.

Balancing both a full time degree and a part-time job has also given me both time management and organisational skills. I believe that these are all skills that are transferable and adaptable towards the role of teaching.

The use of language is close to my heart as I personally use my words to write songs that tell stories. My university degree focused on how words and phrases can have an impact on those around us, and how to use that to your advantage. This is why I believe I will be able to engage students in their discovery of a language different to their native.

I have worked for three years in a child care setting, as well as had work experience teaching Japanese to elementary school children while in high school (this was with the help of a Japanese teacher). I also hav3 English Teaching experience in a winter program while I studied aboard in Korea.

I am a happy and out going person, who loves kids and loves to help them learn. I have wanted to teach English sense a young age and have centred my studies around this.

I am very good with kids and teaching them, I had little to know problems when teaching in Korea over my winter break. I can adapt fast and work very well under pressure.

I have often been told by my students’ and peers that they feel loved and cared for in my classroom. Having grown up in a financially struggling household myself, I am always alert to clues that a child might be hungry, tired or in need. i always to give my 100 percent effort in any situation. i have learned that different people learn at different paces so its all ways go to show empathy.

I am a good communicator, diplomatic and have the ability to fit with all sorts of people. I am hard working and have a positive and flexible approach to work. A creative thinker, I rise to the challenge of seeking solutions. I am calm under pressure, a must in the film industry. I'm a self-starter, and have worked in many roles: PA, for a CEO, Office Manager, Film Production Assistant and Film Assistant Location Manager to name a few.

I have been contracted on a temporary basis at many companies whereby, having been booked for an initial short contract, my employer has taken me on permanently. This is evidence of my ability to fit in with all sorts of people and my hard working nature.

I love literature and the English language and that's why I studied it at Royal Holloway, University of London.

I’m interested in Korean culture, history and progress. My brother’s family have visited four times. They were so impressed with the politeness of the Koreans, the cleanliness of the place and the entertainment. I am fascinated with Korea and hope to travel to your country soon.

I have the ability to fit in with all kinds of people: from CEO’s to film directors, producers, government ambassadors and children and teenagers!

I believe teaching is my forte and wish to be employed by GLOOII.

I am passionate about the subject and teaching.

I’m empathetic, understanding, approachable, patient and encouraging. I want students to feel comfortable in seeking help and therefore be confident speaking and writing English.

I believe it’s important to build a rapport and to give feedback in a positive manner. It’s vital that students understand and are encouraged by their progress as well as learning from their mistakes.

I believe motivation and accessibility are key to learning.

I am keen to embark on a new career as a teacher.

I have been a manager in the hospitality industry for over twenty years in which time I have shown an ability to train staff and managers to understand their job roles. I am also a great ambassador for the organisations I work for as I am personable and can talk to people at all levels of the organisation with confidence. I love working in customer service as you can understand what people want and deliver, as well as resolve issues a to a satisfactory outcome.

I am a calm and friendly individual and I believe this helps me understand people and help them in the best way I can. I am driven by seeing other people reach their potential and it gives me great pleasure to see others achieving things they couldn't previously do through learning and development.

I am very grateful to have the opportunity to spread my love for my native language to those who wish to learn it and better their futures through communication and international opportunities.

My Personality
I am hard-working, Enthusiastic about teaching with children and good problem solver. I am well organised and presentable. Always strive to achieve the highest stranded possible at any given task or job. I am accumulated at working in a fast-paced environment. I can communicate to all ages well as I have been mentoring and teaching others since 2013. I am passionate is Korean culture and language I am learning Korean at the moment. 

My experience:
At college, as part of my personal development, I worked closely with junior students. Junior students would approach senior students for guidance and help in practical and academic work.
Senior students were also required to teach practical lessons, evaluate junior students assessments and to act as mentor guiding them through the year.

Why I want ot teach in korea
I visited Korea for 7 weeks last year, and really enjoyed the culture and lifestyle that Korea has to offer. Learning more about the culture and language is one on my key interests.
Teaching provides students with the tools and knowledge to thrive in the adult world and find their passion as I did. Inspirational teachers can excite and influence children, helping them to improve their knowledge and grades. I have been fortunate in my own learning to have been guided by some outstanding teachers. My science teacher at school was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic, which inspired his students and helped them all to achieve better grades. One of my lectures had extraordinary energy and high expectations of her students, providing guidance and support which reflected in the achievements in her students. These two teachers provided me with a role model and standards of what teaching should be.
English as a second language is vital in today’s interconnected world, opening up more opportunities for the next generation. Being able to teach English in Korea is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of a child’s development and growth, in a vibrant and exciting culture.

I am an experienced professional educator. I have created custom course curriculum with lessons specifically catered for my students to achieve the best results possible. I can foster an engaging and purposeful classroom environment where students are comfortable to make mistakes and improve their abilities. I have experience using student centered teaching methods.

I have a first class degree in English from a London university and am passionate about literature. I have worked for publishing companies and as a bookseller. As a teacher I think reading for pleasure is really important for students and always encourage students to pick fun books.

In my gap year before university I worked at an international school in South Korea on Jeju Island. I worked as a boarding house assistant and a teaching assistant. The opportunity allowed me to travel, pick up some of the language and made me fall in love with South Korea and its food.

I am ready to start a new experience and put my TEFL to practise. I have supported in classes before but want to take the lead and work to inspire students to learn a new language.
