I began working while I was still studying to complete a Bachelor of Arts
degree in Communication Science. For the last 2 years of my studies I
worked as a remote, freelance copywriter. During this time, I
completed written article-based work for a variety of online
publications and websites. This work included gambling and online
casino written game reviews and recommendations, travel-based
articles and reviews, as well as other written work on a variety of
subjects.

After I completed my degree, I was able to intern and later take on a
permanent position at an advertising, media and marketing agency
based in Bryanston, Sandton. I now work here as a Digital Marketing
Assistant. This involves building content calendars, posting content,
managing and responding to messages or queries. I am experienced
with paid advertising on social media as well, having run numerous
client campaigns across Facebook, Google ads, Instagram, LinkedIn
and Twitter. I am also an experienced copywriter who frequently
creates content for a variety of companies and brands. This includes
post copy, website page copy, as well as scripted content for both
radio and TV.
Photography is another passion of mine. I am often present to help
cover brand events and/or activations. I am accustomed to shooting
and editing photos when required on a client-by-client basis. Looking
to the future, I am hoping to make a change. To get outside the office
and do something that really adds value to the future. I want to be a
teacher! I have now completed my Online TEFL 168
hour diploma. I am very excited to start my new career as a teacher!

My experience teaching three children the piano has allowed to acquire and exhibit patience, open-mindedness, kindness and adaptibility. I have freelanced for two years as a jazz musician in Cape Town and as a result of that I've developed qualities such as; punctuality, professionalism, reliability, rapport skills and an “easy to work with” nature. For the most part I'd consider myself a cool, calm and collected individual. I think that I am good at explaining concepts and breaking them down, making it easier for people to understand them. I enjoy working with people.

My passion for teaching developed during my years as an English tutor at Santa Fe college and a volunteer teacher at Gainesville Community Center. In These roles I created tailored lesson plans, conducted engaging classes using interactive methods, and provided personalized feedback to ensure each student's progress. These experiences helped me develop excellent classroom management skills and the ability to assess and adapt to diverse learning needs. My humor, optimism and genuine passion for helping students excel have been central to my teaching approach.
Additionally, my fluency in both English and Arabic has enabled me to connect with students from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. As someone who thrives on creating an inclusive encouraging classroom environment

Team player, hard working, dedicated, passionate, love working with people.

I very much appreciate the high value that East Asian culture places on education, and I like the idea of being able to contribute towards that in a meaningful way. Gloii's commitment to quality education and its supportive environment for teachers align perfectly with my professional goals.

I am confident that my passion for teaching coupled with my enthusiastic and positive outlook makes me a strong candidate. I am eager to contribute as an inspiring role model teacher whilst embarking on this exciting new chapter of my life in Korea.

I would love the chance to discuss how I can contribute as a Native English Teacher. I am available for an interview at your earliest convenience and look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for considering my application.

Best regards,

Dean Powell
