I am an experienced ESL homeroom teacher that has profound verbal and writing skills. I have been working in South Korea for a year and nine months. I am currently teaching kindergarten, elementary and middle school students. I have a passion for teaching as I am an independent thinker and I have excellent class management skills. I am confident in my teaching styles and method. I work well under pressure and I easily adapt to a work place. I have background knowledge of the Korean culture and it continues to interest me. I am an energetic person and I enjoy contributing to students' academic progress. My stregnths include having the ability to be attentive when given instructions and I am an overall patient person. My other stregnths also include being able to resolve conflict.
I believe that my skills, personality and stregnths will contribute to the growth of the school.

With diverse experiences spanning teamwork, communication, and leadership, I possess adaptable interpersonal skills crucial for an ESL teaching role. Coupled with a determined and organized approach, I excel in managing responsibilities and fostering relationships. Proficient in communication and IT, alongside effective time management, I am well-equipped to engage students and facilitate learning effectively as an ESL teacher.

During my time at Prior Park College as high school student, I successfully balanced academic responsibilities with school administration duties as Deputy Head of Clifford House. This role involved facilitating communication between students and staff, fostering strong relationships, and implementing new ideas. These experiences have honed my ability to build rapport and collaborate effectively, essential qualities for an ESL teaching role.

I am a recent graduate of The Open University, majoring in English Language and Literature and I am highly interested in obtaining a position in the field of teaching English as a second/foreign language through Gloii. I am positive I would be able to fulfil the duties required for the various positions available as I have experience in teaching both children and adults in online and classroom settings.

My interest in the role stems from my warm and welcoming personality as well as my desire to help people fulfil their language learning goals. My work with Cambly Inc. consisted of speaking with people from all over the world; specifically South Korea, Japan, and China where most of my regular student reside, teaching course materials provided by both myself and Cambly. The course materials covered a range of subjects, such as grammar, vocabulary, business English, casual conversations, travel phrases and more. My involvement with Cambly has further helped me to enunciate correctly to ensure understanding amongst my students, and it allowed me to expand my teaching skills.

In addition to teaching online, I have experience teaching in a physical classroom through Little English (Gibraltar) where I teach English as a foreign language primarily to children as well as general English for local students. Little English (Gibraltar) involved interaction with the students and playing educational games in order to make it more engaging. Furthermore, in Little English (Gibraltar) I was required to create my own lesson plans and provide feedback to parents when necessary. Additionally, I became familiar with a classroom setting and using physical materials, such as flash cards and worksheets.

Apart from the above I am a keen individual who is willing to learn the language and culture of South Korea. I am confident in my abilities and consider myself able to meet the job specifications as my education and experience match the required criteria. I am well-spoken and professional, and computer literate. I would highly value the opportunity to provide my services to your organisation.

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

I am a professional candidate with communication skills that build a safe and friendly environment.

In my work experience as a youth worker, I developed my teaching skills. In this role, I supervised and supported activities and citizen workshops. My interpersonal skills created an effective line of communication for mentoring; I used creativity as a way to interact with service users and create a safe space.

My 150 hour TEFL teaching certificate structured my teaching and management skills. I now have skills in classroom management, lesson planning and teaching English as a foreign language. I have a fun and logical personality, this is great for interactive methods in a classroom setting. As an online ESL teacher, I was able to put these skills into practice.

I hope to be considered and I look forward to hearing from you.
