Through the TEFL classroom course and through my previous teaching experience, I have demonstrated that I am an active, confident, conscientious and well-organised teacher with a can-do attitude. I have taught students who were beginner-level English speakers, some of who had no previous English language experience. Using games, activities and visual aid I was able to make my lessons enjoyable and keep my students engaged and interested in the learning experience. As a result, each student showed marked improvement across all four major language skills.

I am a creative, empathetic and sociable person. In particular, I enjoy building relationships with all my students so I can identify their strengths and support them in their learning. I am deeply caring, a very good communicator, and can create a classroom environment for the children to feel comfortable and confident.

My undergraduate degree at SOAS involved studying in Korea for 1 year and as a result I am well-versed in the Korean language. I also understand Korean values and culture, and so I am able to adapt my teaching and communication styles to suit the cultural norms of the children. Prioritising the children comfort and learning experience by conducting classes suitable to Korea’s culture is of utmost importance to me.

I have freshly completed my Bachelor of Science degree and a TEFL 120 hour combined course and am looking for my first experience as an EL Teacher. Though, I lack experience in teaching, I compensate for this with an eagerness to learn and high level of enthusiasm. From my travels around the globe and especially living abroad for a year in Australia I mixed with a lot of internationals where I discovered a passion to learn about new cultures. I’ve lead many assessments during my degree, practising my presentation skills and captained various hockey sides, skills I believe to be very transferable to the classroom setting. I would describe myself as a very personable, approachable and smiley person who enjoys problem solving and interacting with others. I believe I would make a fantastic addition to your school.

Thank you for reading my application.

As a supervisor at my current job, I exhibit strong leadership skills and am great at problem solving, team building and showing others how to carry out tasks effectively. The people in my life would describe me as energetic and as someone with a lot of patience and understanding. I also have experience caring for children over the past several years and have gained a lot of insight on how to connect with them and help them learn.

A former Radio show host, translator, interpreter and language exchange meet-up organiser with a good understanding of Asian and European culture, especially about Korea and England. I describe myself as an effective communicator and team player due to skills obtained from a wide work experience.

I am naturally sociable and positive as a person hence why I worked as a volunteer in London helping people including North Koreans, supporting individuals with difficulties through my bilingual language and social skill. (Native/fluent in both English and Korea, I have English accent when speaking English and speak with Korean accent when speaking Korean)

Having worked in an UK high school for the last eight years, I have a lot of working experience teaching students. Furthermore, I have directed an amateur film company and qualified as a sports coach to lead a community jogging group. All of these experience have allowed me to hone teaching and leadership skills which I can bring back to the class room. I find a great deal of my success with these groups comes from my confident, friendly attitude.
