Amanda: United States: Nov 01, 2019

As a recent graduate from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, I am eager to apply as an English teacher in Seoul, South Korea.
As a student, I took several classes involving the English language and have a certificate in Professional Writing, as well as one from a 120 Hour Advanced TEFL program. In addition to this, I also have an OPI level score of Intermediate-Mid in Japanese after only one year of study. In the Summer of 2018, I spent seven weeks in Japan, taking language classes and feel that my experiences there will have an impact on my teaching style in South Korea. It should be noted that I am currently teaching myself Korean, as well.
Attributes that make me a well-suited candidate include, but are not limited to:
• Motivation: Although I already have two Associates degrees, I went back to school for the sole purpose of applying to be an English Teacher in Seoul, South Korea. In addition to this, I have been self-studying the Korean Language.
• Adaptability: With my previous experience living in East Asia last summer, I feel comfortable making a life in Korea. Currently, I work as a server and am able to adjust myself to various customer needs and am more than happy to be placed outside of my comfort zone.
• Timeliness: I am not known as a procrastinator. I prefer to work diligently with deadlines and do not care to show-up to meetings late. I take care to ready myself for any type of situation and prefer to do my share of the work, if not more, because I am aware of the responsibility that is placed within me and do not want to let my coworkers down.
At Antioch College, I was well known as the student who completed their work quickly, diligently, and needed little guidance. My self-motivation drives me to be successful and I hope to represent that part of myself well in my future endeavors.
I am aware that the available teaching positions in Seoul, South Korea are scarce, especially for the inexperienced, but I would very much appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate my skills and further explain my qualifications.
I look forward to hearing from you.
