Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you with reference to the job advert for an ESL teacher as shown on the website TEFL.org.uk. I feel that my extensive background in education and my recently acquired TEFL 120 hours makes me a suitable candidate for the job.
Having already graduated from university with a degree in Education Studies, as well as a Graduate Diploma in Youth and Community Work, I have recently qualified as a TEFL teacher (120 hours), and I am soon to become a qualified College teacher specialising in SEN (Special Educational Needs). This process has enabled me to become a professional and engaging teacher who is able to stimulate and empower students of all ages and abilities through fun and engaging activities.
In addition to my qualifications, I am able to plan, prepare and deliver lessons to students from a range of levels including beginners to advance learners. My background includes placements with young children, teenagers and adults, as well as a voluntary experience in Portugal. This highlights my ability to plan and deliver to all students, and to ensure that a student-centred approach is effectively utilised.
In my previous roles I have prepared a range of materials to support the learning of my students. This has helped to successfully engaged students to aspire to high standards. I am able to create an inclusive and fun learning environment that supports language development within a safe and engaging way.
Furthermore, I have experience of supporting students in groups and in one-to-ones, with high quality resources that encourage students to achieve learning objectives. I volunteered in a youth club in Portugal where I developed the speaking and listening skills of the students through conversation and games. This is important as it highlights my ability to educate students in both formal and informal contexts.
Additionally, I can offer experience of planning curriculums for new courses, and organising workshops to support learners. This has included speech and language workshops, readings groups and activities to develop confidence and communication.
As a native English speaker, with experience of teaching across all age ranges and abilities, I feel that I would be able to make a positive contribution to your students, and become a successful member of your team.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Yours sincerely,
Andrew Britton.
