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.

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.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am very interested in applying for your Full Time Private Academy Teaching job vacancy, which I discovered via the TEFL website.

After recently completing my MA English Literature degree at Bristol University, I am now looking for a career in teaching and see working in Gwangmyeong, Seoul as a fantastic opportunity. My time at university has laid the foundation of possessing solid communication and interpersonal skills. I am passionate about education, and believe I would make an excellent teacher at this academy. I also have past experience working with young people in my local area during my time with Innerflame, which is a UK youth organisation.

Lastly, I see myself as someone who is flexible and adaptable to new environments, and would enjoy the challenge of sharing my knowledge whilst abroad. Thank you again for this opportunity and for taking the time to review my application.

Yours sincerely,
Leo Bugden

I am a very enthusiastic, outgoing and confident person, with a passion for teaching. This confidence means that I am a very clear communicator, and I have been employed in many public-facing, and team-based roles. I am highly organised, a trait that I believe is crucial for teaching. I utilise this organisation regularly to create lesson plans, in my work as a personal tutor. I also understand the importance of varying my teaching style. My years of experience have taught me how to be patient with a variety of different learners, as well as how to discipline learners effectively to maximise their learning experience.

I have several years of experience teaching. I have worked for three years as a one on one tutor, teaching Maths and Geography to students aged between 12-16 for their exams. I also have experience teaching larger classes, and younger learners. At university I went to local schools to teach groups of primary school children, usually between the ages of 5-10 about conservation and nature.

I hold a first-class, bachelors degree in Geography from Durham University in the U.K. Additionally I hold a 120-hour Certificate for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. This qualification included modules on English grammar, English teaching methodologies, as well as techniques for teaching young learners and business English.

– Having studied English Literature at university, I have a strong grasp of the English language as well as how it fits in the wider contexts of modern society.

– I have experience working with children from my part time job (during university holidays) at KidZania London. Here, I educated children (aged 4-14) regarding various roles and jobs that they can do as adults in entertaining and imaginative ways. The skills I adapted in my time here could be easily transferred to the teaching methods I have learnt with TEFL Org and allow me to teach English to young learners and teenagers in fun and innovative ways.

– I spent a year studying abroad in Austria, meeting an array of people from different cultures and learning how to adapt to a different country's way of living with them. I also became an unofficial English tutor to many of my flatmates and friends as they often asked me to correct their english whilst in conversation, or help to look over their essays for any mistakes.

– Overall, I feel as though one of my biggest strengths is my positive and bubbly personality which gives me the energy and patience needed to teach.

-Having studied Anthropology and Sociology at university , I’ve learnt a lot about human culture and have been able to explore different societies and civilisations. This inspires me to travel and to expand my learning with real life situations.

-Whilst working in retail, I have become a Team Coach in the children’s department. Retail can be a fast paced environment and so I am flexible to things changing last minute and adapting towards it. Through this experience I have been able to create plans on how to best meet a child and parent’s needs and how to reach a solution which appeals to both.

-During the UK lockdown I had the opportunity to create a book club amongst my friends as reading is one of my great passions. This allowed a more structured debate and nuanced discussions about books and other media that we would not have had otherwise.

-I am an outgoing and bubbly individual who has a passion for learning and who is able to adapt to new situations.

Although I was prevented from acquiring practical face-to-face teaching experience due to the imposition of the UK lockdown, I have experience of lesson planning and delivery gained both at university and during my TEFL course. Additionally, I have volunteering experience working with primary-aged children of a local school.

I am a committed individual who is passionate about supporting others. I strive for perfection when completing personal goals, but also take pride in encouraging and helping others to meet theirs. I am creative and energetic, which is essential when teaching young children.

I am a flexible, adaptable and used to facing daily challenges. My current workplace demands that I am organised and take initiative when completing tasks.

This is identical text to my submission for the SAT position. Please disregard any repeat submissions from other sources. I have a feeling I have already applied at Gloii, but I wanted to be certain you saw my resume.

I am not one to blow my own horn, but if I must define my strengths, I would guess that they may include strength of mind, determination, and persistence. These strengths are the culmination of experience in business at major companies in publishing, such as McMillan and Simon and Schuster, in marketing, in sales at HP, and in other customer-centric roles at other major companies. My experience as a small business owner showed me how it feels from “the other side”- the place where management sees the world and left me with a well rounded view of the workplace.

Some of the soft skills I acquired have been perishable, but I strive to stay fresh through constant interaction with working professionals daily. These skills include reframing those awkward moments, formal business etiquette, and presentation skills. Relevant task skills include holding my TEFL, freelance teaching experience of over one and a half years and tutoring specific individuals for over one year.

Korean language specific skills include the Korean voiced and unvoiced “th” sound that everybody seems to have a problem with, and difficulty with nasalization of certain vowels before nasal consonants. This give the L1 Korean speaker an overly vocal sound when speaking English and can be described as sounding “tough”. I work to help my students through that and improve their articulation.
