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.

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.

Hello! My name is Ben Davis, I'm a TESOL-certified English teacher looking for a new opportunity to help students and make life-long friendships. I'm a hardworking and dedicated person who takes time to do things the right way. I love working with children and seeing the happiness that learning can bring them. On a personal level, I like to go on hikes outside and play guitar!

I have recently graduated from university and I am eager to experience different cultures and pursue a career in TEFL teaching. I am currently completing a 120 hour TEFL course from TEFL.org. I am an outgoing and empathetic person who enjoys communicating with others and have a passion to always broaden my skill set.

I am confident with my English ability and also using computer software so I would be able to successfully plan my lessons. I am a great listener and a very organised person.

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am a university graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature and minors in French and Writing, TESOL certification, TOEFL score of 115, and my inherent passion for literature and language learning that would make me an excellent addition to your team. I am a highly-skilled, compassionate, and enthusiastic teaching professional with insight into developing lesson plans and curriculum for elementary to university students. My long-term goal is to eventually go back to school to get my Master's Degree in Library and Information Sciences. With already a year of teaching experience in Korea, I am confident in my ability to become a valuable asset to your academy.

Having studied both English literature and French, I have a deeper understanding of language learning. I am conversationally fluent in French and studying Korean and German. I tutored literary theory and French and acquired the necessary skills to teach students of varying ages and managing classroom atmospheres. I like to research and incorporate various resources to accommodate students via visual and audio learning methods. Depending on the student or students, I integrate either different levels of popular, well-known literature or textbook learning with interactive, student-centered activities that maximize “student talk time,” engaging students in activities using speaking, grammar, writing, listening, and reading to help improve their accuracy and fluency across key skill areas and to ensure comprehension and retention of the concepts and vocabulary. My goal is to foster and maintain a communicative and supportive classroom for students to feel secure and appropriately challenged.

While studying as a full-time student, I also bartended simultaneously, giving me great time management skills. I learned to be flexible to satisfy both the needs of the customer and management and ensure a good atmosphere while managing a clean and safe work environment. I worked in many different, high-demand environments, that allowed me to hone my ability to recall recipes and follow health and safety protocols.

I am outgoing, flexible, and willing to go above and beyond to learn quickly and perform efficiently, including extra prep to ensure I would meet and exceed the academy standards. With my educational and professional background, I hope I have been set apart from other applicants. Please contact me at your convenience so we can set up an interview, I’d love to answer any questions you may have regarding my abilities and to discuss how my diverse skills and experience will enable me to make a valuable contribution to your academy. Thank you for your time.

Yours,

Madison M. Darcey

I have three years of teaching experience in Japan, Italy, and Ireland. I am a friendly and energetic person who enjoys teaching all age groups. I have experience of teaching kids from as young as 2 years old, right up to group classes of adults. I enjoy sport a lot and so am skilled at working in a team environment if so needed in the workplace. I love to travel and experience new cultures. I lived in Japan and Italy and so am very capable of moving abroad and adapting to an unfamiliar situation. I am dedicated and hard working and feel I would be an asset to any company which I join.

Experience
Since the age of 12, I've been passionate about helping ESL learners grow more comfortable with the English language. I started tutoring other peers and young children at the age of 12 in English, and fell in love with teaching. In college, I studied elementary education for a semester, but quickly realized what I want to do is teach in my birth country, South Korea. I stopped studying elementary education after the semester finished because it was focused too heavily on teaching in the United States. Instead, I dedicated my time and energy into studying English as my minor. English has always been my favorite subject in school as well as the subject I had the most talent in. Throughout elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, I worked with international students, especially Korean students, to edit assignments and papers, and explain grammar concepts.

Personality
I have a very outgoing and optimistic personality. I throw myself completely into things that I am passionate, and love to dedicate time and attention to details. I'm someone who is happiest when surrounded by people, and I love to work quickly, but carefully. I've always been the one who finishes tasks the fastest, but not by sacrificing quality.

Skills
I am skilled in English reading, writing, and speaking. I have studied public speaking extensively, and my major in college was focused on English writing. I am experienced in business and marketing, but realized that teaching is what I want to do.
