I am a kind and friendly individual, able to work well under pressure and maintain a professional demeanor in a classroom setting. I have just completed my Celta qualification and had fantastic feedback from my tutors regarding my lesson planning and performance so I feel I would be well suited to a teaching role. I currently work in administration within an English language academy for adult students and have been observing the teachers lessons to gain further experience in how lessons are given and different teaching methods. I was also heavily involved in our junior school programmes over the summer and easter holidays, staying in the residential accommodation with our students, planning all excursions and managing the students on excursions. Throughout all my jobs I have often worked in public facing roles so I feel that my communication and listening skills are great. I am looking forward to starting a new career within the English language teaching community.

I am an experienced ESL teacher with over 4 years experience online and in person. My most recent experience is as a Homeroom Teacher in Mapo-gu. Within this position I also taught the first ever international class at the school which included teaching English, Math, Science, Social Studies and even arts. We performed a short musical for parents. Although my time at this school was short, it was very impactful on not only me but the school as well. I created the curriculum on my own and had free reign over the topics taught. This meant studying topics such as creative writing, book reports, the life cycle and so much more.

I have recently graduated with an Honors degree in Children's Literature and Creative Writing from a UK university and am currently completing a 120 hour TEFL qualification.

I have an F6 visa and therefore do not require sponsorship to work in Korea.

I am a hard working, determined young woman. I am very passionate about making a change through education.
I was volunteering at my University as a Radio Presenter and Producer. I used to mentor new students at student media, I was responsible for employee wellness, I was a part of the disciplinary committee.

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Mosa, and I’m writing to express my keen interest in teaching English in Korea. South Africa has been my home, and I am excited about the prospect of contributing to an educational environment in Korea.

I have diligently prepared my necessary documents for placement in a Hagwon and am eager to embark on this fulfilling journey. Your online presence and commitment to collaborating with esteemed schools resonate with my aspirations in this field. I admire the support you provide to teachers throughout the placement process, and I am enthusiastic about the possibility of working with you.

I have a passion for learning, good organisational skills and I adapt easily to new environments. Strong communication skills with patience and understanding.

Thank you for considering my application.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Warm regards,

Mosa

I have much experience with working with children in formal education settings. I had worked as a teaching assistant at the African Angels school in East Chintsa, South Africa as part of a placement programme whilst studying at Sheffield Hallam University. This gave me a good introduction to teaching English as a foreign language (many of the students spoke Xhosa as their mother tongue). I also have over 12 months of experience as a teaching assistant in UK based schools, diversifying my skills in education by learning conflict resolution and different teaching styles.

I consider myself to be hard-working, empathetic and adaptive. I hold myself to high standards in whatever I do and always look to learn as much about a role as possible so I can deliver the best performance. I am patient, knowing that students have different ways of learning and taking on information, and knowing that your approach to teaching needs to flexible so that all learners can take something valuable from a lesson.

As a politics graduate and an individual with a passion for story-telling in my spare time I am adept at writing and teaching others how to improve the structure and quality of their essays, poems and stories. Other skills include being comfortable using a variety of IT systems and building a rapport with individuals from a range of backgrounds and differing professions.

Thank you for your time in reading this.

In terms of my strengths, I communicate well and thoroughly, meaning that I can efficiently explain and understand lesson plans while effectively responding to students struggling to understand the topic. I adapt very easily, I am well traveled and although I have never been to South Korea specifically, I find settling into new places to be a quick process. I am eager to continue learning, I understand my knowledge is not absolute and I learn from my mistakes every day. Finally, I bring a strong energy everywhere I go. I have the ability to stay excited about the task at hand, and I hope to let that excitement spread to all my students wherever I go.
