For the last few years I have been highly motivated about working with children and youth in as many avenues and experiences available to me. Of recent, I have been studying and teaching English around Austria. I would love to continue this avenue and hone my English teaching abilities in the coming years. In this experience I have acquired my Certificate TESOL and acquired over 300 hours of teaching practice in the Austrian school system. I have witnessed and created environments in which using language is both active and engaging for learners, which is core to my own personal teaching ethos. I have worked with children and young adults in many capacities and have experienced creating sustainable living conditions whilst working abroad; these are expressed in greater depth in my CV. This experience will offer insight into my own teaching abilities and allow for further professional development. I am excited about the opportunity to implement my knowledge and skills in a foreign yet similar environment.

Accomplished grasp of the English language
Throughout college my ability to write essays and statements has been praised. I assisted students who struggled with language and phrasing when writing essays and artist statements. I particularly enjoyed this as I worked wit h them instead of correcting their work for them, this helped them to learn from their previous mistakes and improve overall

Creative Problem Solving
Because of my background in art and design, I have honed my creative problem solving skills which has proved to be invaluable when working with younger students, particularly those who do not speak English proficiently. I believe that I have utilized this skill when designing lesson plans to keep the students entertained and interested while learning a new language.

Ability to Adapt
Over the years I have taught myself to adapt to ever changing situations and the ability to approach new tasks with composure and optimism. This was a necessity when I initially moved to South Korea. I believe that this ability has allowed me to experience this beautiful country with open eyes and embrace all that it has to offer

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.
