I am a native english speaker currently living in the UK looking for a new opportunity in South Korea. I have attached my resume to this e-mail. I am highly experienced and highly qualfied in my professional role with a comprehensive background in training and education.

While I don't have a lot of experience in direct classroom teaching to children, I hope that my experience and qualifications prove my dedication and ability to learn quickly. I've gained a lot of confidence through my current role, working directly with a large range of different clients in a high-pressure environment. I have a passion for education as I have created and delivered formal financial education presentations to many different audiences. Therefore, I am also very comfortable producing my own learning material and have the technical knowledge to do so.

I have been self-studying Korean for 18 months, approaching a B1 intermediate level, so I understand the difficulties and the process of language learning.

I am a well spoken and charismatic leader who would make an ideal candidate for this position not only for. my experience, but for my unique perspective on the English language. Learning a language is half the battle, but learning to use it in an engaging way is critical for individual success. I am an excellent role model for students to learn higher skills in the Target language such as: humor, sarcasm, persuasion, jokes, professional lingo, and many other crucial aspects. My experience teaching English has taken me to 5 countries with diverse needs and projects. Finally, I am from Tennessee and my accent is very clear while also representing one of the dialectal regions of the USA. This is important to expose learners to these accents so that they have the confidence necessary no matter where their education takes them. Thank you.

I have worked in many sectors in the corporate world and have learnt many new English words from those sectors. I would like the opportunity to work as an English teacher as I have tutored my fellow pupils from secondary school all the way to my years as a student at Business School.
I do have a TEFL qualification along with a Bachelor of Commerce Honours degree.

I feel my greatest strength is that I’m highly personable and have a high degree of interpersonal skill. I’ve spent a lot of time with various and diverse people from different cultures throughout my life. I’ve lived, worked or travelled in more than twenty countries; and I’ve been able to so successfully because I’m proficient at connecting with people.
