I have a lot of experience working with children, as I have been volunteering at the Weston park museum with the children for the last two years. I helped with a wide range of activities from school sleepovers to arts and craft activities. I also spent two months in Cambodia where I was a teaching assistant , I helped with the lesson and helped the children with their pronunciation. I have many skills from working in customer service for the last two years, working at Next, KFC and the University of Sheffield Student Union. These places taught me organisational skills, time management and problem solving. My internship at the Roman Baths helped me develop project management skills as I had to prepare for a public presentation on historical objects of my choosing. Finally, I am an enthuastic person who puts everything they have into any task I am given. Hence, why I feel I would a great edition to any school.

I worked on a week-long placement with an English teacher in a UK secondary school as an assistant, helping younger students with both receptive and productive tasks.

Additionally, I was assigned as a reading buddy for several years in secondary school. In this role, I helped the youngest children of the school with their reading with the aim of encouraging them to read aloud and inspiring them to take up reading in their own time as a hobby.

Coupled with this experience of working with young people, I am an extremely patient person, especially after working for many years in the hospitality industry in which adult customers are knowingly rude and sometimes even aggressive. Therefore, I have developed a knack for remaining calm in stressful situations and can defuse them well.

Quite simply, my history degree taught me to think, speak and write – standing me in excellent stead for a teaching role. I can analyse highly complex situations and communicate my findings and arguments in a sophisticated but understandable manner. I made numerous presentations whilst at university, so I am no stranger to the prospect of standing in front of people and taking the lead in that respect.

Conscientiousness and meticulous attention to detail are among my finest assets, meaning that lesson plans will be fully thought out, with every section of the lesson bearing in mind one ultimate question: how do I maximise the learning of my students?

Furthermore, I will have received highly specialist training through my completion of a 150-hour TEFL course by the time I secure a job to add to all these skills – covering classroom management, lesson structures, class activities and so forth.

I am an English native with a university degree in English Literature with an 80 hour TEFL qualification. I have experience working with vulnerable people, assisting learning and supporting education in a teaching environment. I have an excellent grasp of the English language and have the ability to teach it confidently.
My personality is friendly, out-going and hard-working. I have worked with people from all walks of life and I thrive on meeting new people. I have travelled to various countries in the past as I have a passion for new experiences and learning new things. As a result I have developed personally and professionally from it.
My greatest asset is my passion for teaching, looking forward to the next stage in my career.

As a recent graduate with a first class honours in Asian Pacific Studies, I am knowledgeable in various cultural and social differences that young students in South Korea have and will be able to adapt my knowledge to teach them. Throughout my final year of university, I worked as a receptionist for the Student Union's Advice Centre and was able to balance studying, working and socialising well. This receptionist position also helped me develop the necessary skills to handle all types of people in a calm and sensible manner.

As a British-born Chinese, I am completely fluent in English. But I also know the struggles of learning another language whilst growing up, so I understand how students may feel whilst they are undergoing their English studies. I am passionate in the art of languages and think that it is one of the most important skills a young person can learn and so I hope to be able to assist in a student's learning.

Most importantly, I have completed a 120 hour TEFL course, where I undertook modules on English grammar, teaching methods, telephone teaching, large classroom teaching methods, as well as undergoing classroom observations. In addition to this, I have undertaken Teaching Knowledge Tests, certified by the University of Cambridge. This means that I am well equipped in how to teach English as a second language.

I am a very confident speaker who finds it easy to communicate with people on many different levels. This is a trait of mine that I have always had and was able to build upon during my time working as a customer service advisor for Axa Assistance. While working in a call centre communication is paramount and this was something I was able to strive at. I feel that my natural skill at speaking as well as the communication skills I gained as a part of my job with Axa would make me a great fit for any role be it a teaching one or any other one of a similar nature.

Since I was young I have always been extremely good at the English language. It was my best subject during my time in school and I have always found it very easy to understand the many aspects of the language such as grammar, spelling etc. I also very much enjoy helping others especially when it comes to learning new things.

Using my communication skills I feel I would be a great person to help teach others my knowledge and understanding of the English language

As a native English speaker, and an English Literature graduate, I have an excellent understanding of English and English grammar, as well as being a fluent and clear communicator.

My short work experience in a school illustrated that I work well with children. I was able to build up a rapport with the students, and I enjoyed the classroom environment.

Furthermore, through the TEFL course I completed, I developed a confident teaching style and coped well under pressure.

I have confidence in my ability to rise to any challenge, and am enthusiastic about the opportunity to experience life in another country.

Throughout both my employment history and education, I have had extensive experience of delivering results in high pressure environments. Having worked in a variety of roles with varying responsibilities, rapid adaptation to new working environments is one of my strongest assets. My years working front of house in hotels and restaurants served to further my interpersonal skills, particularly with regards to difficult customers. This provided the foundation for further development at University, in a number of modules I excelled at creating and delivering verbal presentations to an audience.

I am a highly approachable individual with excellent written and verbal communication ability, capable of adjusting to new challenges. My positive, energic personality assures that I will strive to produce my best whilst completing the task at hand.
