I attended the University of the Highlands and Islands.Gaining my BA (Hons) in History and Politics on the 30th July 2018, achieving upper second class honours. I then acquired my Mlitt in History the following year, achieving a passing grade. At university I completed modules that focus on British politics, culture and history such as the ‘British identities’ module. This will enable me to instill a sense of culture into my lessons.

During my undergraduate and masters I have worked mainly in kitchens, such as at the Dornoch Patisserie and Jurys Inn. At these jobs I have become skilled at working as part of a team in a busy, often hectic enviroment. I was also responsible for the training of new staff at both of these businesses which helped me realize how much I enjoyed teaching.

This has made it my goal to acquire a teaching position. To this end I completed a 140-hour TEFL.org course. This included, video observation, teaching large classes, Telephone Teaching Course, Methodology and Grammar modules. This has given me a strong introduction to teaching English, which I hope to expand upon in acquiring employment as an English teacher.

I do not have much experience with teaching, beyond the teaching required for my University degree. However, I do have experience being in Korea and I am currently learning Korean, while looking at taking the TOPIK proficiency exam in the near future.

I am a lively individual. I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable and relaxed around a teacher. I know how to brighten an atmosphere and keep people smiling, while also being aware of the limit and understanding when to tone it down and be more serious and stern. I am a motivator too, I encourage others to try harder and to never stop working, no matter what. The only things worth having are the things we've worked hard for.

I am a computer literate person, I have no trouble operating a computer and using one to create powerpoint presentations.
I consider myself linguistically competent. Not only do I have a firm grasp on the English language but learning other languages is something I enjoy.
I am a goal driven person. I set standards for myself and targets to achieve and I work my hardest to see them accomplished.
I also believe I am a quick learner and can adapt to a new environment swiftly.

Hello,

In the last 5 years of my professional experience, I have worked in the education field which assisted families in the USA with funding for their education.

I have some experience working with children and training adults. I've worked with people from various parts of the world with their English fluency and their understanding of the American culture.

I am very personable and dependable. Many colleagues find me approachable for all questions when assistance is needed. I am also very patient and observative which allows me to view things from a greater perspective before reacting.

I am excited to continue being a part of students lives through more hands on education.

Maintain over 10 years of interpersonal and managerial experience in customer relations in various demographic locations. Supervised between 15 to 45 employees at one time. I have extensive practice serving as a support system and advocate to facilitate personal growth and steer colleagues toward achieving individual and common objectives. Demonstrate the value of long-term commitment and loyalty to employers, colleagues, and clientele.

I recently moved to Korea from the United States on an F-6 Visa in July of 2020. I first visited Korea in 2012 to experience my wife’s culture and visited several times in the following years. My purpose of relocating to Korea long-term was to immerse myself into a culture and family which I have grown to love, and having the opportunity to serve a positive role in Korean community as an English Teacher.

I believe motivating students to want to practice English, and helping enhance their overall English capabilities to benefit their futures would provide me a sense of pride and fulfillment. Although I have no classroom teaching experience, on prior visits I have had personal interactions with younger Korean family members and friends who once were reluctant, but overtime pursued practicing English with me. This brought me joy and facilitated my desire to move to Korea and teach.

I am a very energetic and proactive person. In my spare time I enjoy training for endurance cycling and running competitions. I believe that my outgoing personality traits, personal experiences in Korea, and professional qualities gained through my prior work experience will provide the balance of energy and professionalism that it requires to be successful in a private English school.

I am a hardworking, highly motivated individual with a positive working attitude. I strive for perfection in everything I do and love to help others whether that is inside or outside the working environment. My goal is to help people all over the world, and I hope to pass on my knowledge to other people learning English so they can better their future. I am currently working through my TEFL 148-our course, where I am confident I will gain the skills needed to provide students with a supportive learning environment.
I have had experience working with children in a summer camp, this experience working abroad has given me valuable lessons in dealing with children and helping them be productive in a work environment.

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.

However, my time in Vietnam proved that I was passionate about teaching, and that I was able to manage large class sizes (30 – 50 pupils), with support from a local teaching assistant. Although flashcards and worksheets were provided, the lesson plans were my own, and I was able to adapt lessons to suit the varying abilities of the students. Having come from a youth theatre background, I tend to use physical games and exercises to manage children's energy levels, and to hold their attention span whilst introducing new language. Vietnamese children are highly energetic and competitive, so good behaviour was rewarded with a team game to finish the lesson.

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

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.

Please note that I do have facial piercings and visible tattoos, as seen in the attached picture. I would cover these up during the working day.

Yours sincerely,

Anna Lewis

Hello,

I am Asiphe Sibali, a native English speaker from South Africa. I have a 120 hours online Tesol certificate and a Bachelor's degree in Construction Management which has equiped me with skills such as great communication, patience, relationship building, adaptable and crisis management.

I don't have a proffesional teaching experience but during my time in University I had the opportunity of tutoring other students for a period of 2 years. I had the opportunity to instruct a wide variety of students from various backgrounds and all facets of society. As a result, I am a compassionate teacher, who remains sensitive people's unique needs, differentiates instruction, provides individual whole group support, integrates multicultural teaching units, and offers positive encouragement and reinforcement to keep students focused and motivated.

• I am a caring, fun and loving teacher
• I am able to handle students that do not know English
• I will always make the best of any situation
• i have experience in education as well as psychology

I currently hold nearly 2 years of ESL teaching experience. I taught for 15 months in a language centre in Hangzhou, China. In this language school I taught students aged 2 to 15. In this role I was told by my co teachers and senior teachers that I was a very warm and welcoming teacher. I try to encourage each student individually to do their best as opposed to being number 1. I want to see everyone progressing, not just the top in the class. Whilst taking this role I gained 2 Cambridge TKT certificates.
I also have been teaching students online for 6 months. I currently teach one to one VIP students from China, as well as a large group of business professionals from the Middle East. As teaching online has been new to me this year I have tried to adapt to the platforms as well as I could. I try to be a facilitator for the students to practice their English with each other, and correct any accuracy mistakes. I want these students to build their confidence in using the English language. I taught a group of primary aged Estonian children History as a CLIL course. These students were learning History and English at the same time from me, so I have skills in teaching other subjects in English.

I am a highly positive and amicable person who gets on well both in team and solo work.

I have experience working within a school environment as a student ambassador for Bournemouth University. With this role I delivered workshops to small groups of children aged 10-12 on various subjects, I really enjoyed this role and I am looking to further my experience of working in a school environment. Further to this I have 2 years experience working as an archaeologist across the UK. These roles in my professional career have given me the skills to work independently, as part of a team and an attention to detail.

I have also recently completed a MSc in Risk, Disaster and Resilience at University College London. I am an outgoing, adventurous person who is looking to tackle a new role within the teaching profession. I am especially looking for a new role abroad as I have a passion for culture and travel.

Having worked withing the heritage sector as a senior archaeologist for 11 years i have managed and directed a variety of large and small scale projects. Having held more senior positions my people management, time management and organisation skills are first class. Throughout my career i have also been heavily involved in student and staff training. Most notably i worked for Bournemouth University teaching best practices in archaeology and theory to students up to Masters level using various educational tools.

The majority of my career highs have all centred around the educational elements of my work and this encouraged me to complete the TEFL online course last year. I am now looking to pursue an English teaching career abroad and to further my teaching skills. I have a passion for culture, travel and education which makes me an ideal candidate for such a role.

Archaeology is a profession which incorporates a number of disciplines from scientific, computer based to social and over the years i have gained many transferable skills in all of these disciplines plus many more. Away from work I enjoy history, Art, food and sports.

Over the past ten years, I have grown to love working with children. My experience has allowed me to work with a wide variety of age groups, ranging from three to thirteen years old. In this time, I have learned how to handle children in large groups, use appropriate discipline, cater to their needs, and engage with them in fun and creative ways. Previous work experience at Vice Media and Story Arc taught me to efficiently manage my time and sharpened my interpersonal skills. These skills will serve me well when it comes to lesson planning and working with the school's administration to ensure that my facilitation is appropriate and in line with the curriculum. In completing my TEFL coursework, I learned how to make lessons student-focused, limit teacher talking time, and the importance of eliciting understanding from students. I am excited to apply this knowledge in the classroom through the use of partner work, role-playing activities, songs, and educational games. As a creative, adaptable, and empathetic person, I am confident in my ability to assess students' needs and come up with new ways to make learning English not only exciting but also digestible.

Demonstrated experience in ESL conversational tutoring with students ranging from 8 to 18 years of age.

Experience in mentoring/leadership of elementary/middle school children

Nannying experience

Possesses personality traits suited for teaching young learners such as patience, an energetic demeanor, and a passion for teaching the English language.

I am outgoing, friendly, approachable and naturally like helping people. I am confident in my ailities to teach and engage students.
I have a level 5 tefl certificate and a BA (hons) degree in Journalism.
I have travelled a lot and have lived abroard for 8 year. So i am accustomed to different cultures and traditions.

I have many years of experience working with children and customer service, I've learn over the years that my greatest strength is patience and a want to help others. There has been many times that a problem has been resolved because of listening and being understanding opposed to a headstrong approach. My personality has always been calm, energetic, and approachable. Many people always feel comfortable coming to me with their problems, and is probably why children like me. I also have very strong communication skills.

I have around four years of experience as an ESL teacher in Korea and Japan. I've had the opportunity to work with a wide range of students, from beginners to near-fluent speakers and kindergartners to high school students.

I have experience working as a Head Teacher and am interested in taking on more responsibility in my next job.

I am a very inquisitive individual, always seeking to learn new things and improve every facet I can. I like to consider myself as a welcoming and sociable person, always willing to converse with others whether they are new or familiar faces. Having a desire for travelling and having graduated with a degree in English Language and Literature, I decided to facilitate my interests and skills through teaching English as a second language.

After I graduated I took the leap to move to Hanoi, Vietnam, to teach English at public schools. During my time teaching for Binh Minh Education Development Center (Jan 2019 – Mar 2020), I taught over 1000 students and 30 classes per week, demonstrating cross-cultural communication skills, as well as structure and enthusiasm within the classroom. I also exhibited cultural sensitivity inside and outside the classroom, immersing myself and embracing a foreign culture and adjusting to its unique social etiquette. Since the pandemic, I have transferred my skills onto online platforms, where I continue to teach children and adults English every day.

Moving to Vietnam allowed me to challenge myself and step out of my comfort zone, which facilitated invaluable personal growth. I consistently try to challenge myself physically and mentally to develop my skills and expose myself to new experiences. I am curious to seek new environments and enhance my skills, whether this is in a new work environment or a foreign culture.

I am a very friendly and professional person. I work well in teams and as an individual. I currently work in Beijing China where for the last year and a half I have been teaching in a well recognised training centre teaching English to children aged 3-13. I have a passion for teaching and believe that every child has the potential to reach their goals and the goals set for them.
