I am young woman driven by hardwork and ambition. I am a postgraduate student with an interest in education, my interest stems back from my years as a tutor and practical demonstrator. I assisted second year students at the University of Johannesburg with the Geographical Information Systems practicals and Geography module. I conducted 45 minute tutorials and I planned activities and topics covered within the tutorials. I possess excellent writing and communication skills. I currently work as an interpreter and am an active listener.

My Strength are:

Communication skills- I always use the best communicative and friendly methods, listen attentively and to maintain and use dignified language.

Team player- I am a very active team player with great enthusiasm.

Problem solving- I believe that where there are misunderstandings the matter has to be dealt with in a calm manner, either dealing with a student or parents.

Time management- time is a very important thing and it should be used very carefully. Being prepared and setting up working strategies and minimizing time is very important.

I am writing to apply for your position opening for an English teacher. I believe that my experience in teaching ESL and English Education in the diverse contexts of South Korea, China, and the United uniquely qualify me for the position you are offering.

My work in EFL/ESL and secondary English education has afforded me opportunities to enhance the content knowledge and agency of my students within diverse cultural and linguistical settings. As an associate professor in English Education, I employ an interactive, student centered approach to teaching, invoking students’ experiences through a praxis of content, technology, field work, research, and reflexive inquiry. My undergraduate courses in Applied Linguistics include traditional theories of SLA and ESL pedagogy as well as theories from critical sociolinguistics and critical literacy. As a researcher and teacher in the Professional Development School program in English Education at Penn State University, I taught English methods classes, supervised students’ teaching, and helped high school students, pre-service teachers and English teachers pursue inquiries and multimedia pedagogical applications.

Again, I am very interested in your position for an English teacher and believe that I have the requisite experience and education to make an excellent addition to your faculty. Thank you.

When I was 18 years old, I moved out of my parents house for the first time and left Canada for Ireland. I moved over with no family or friends and created a life for myself there, returning to complete m BA in it entirety in Ireland. I have been traveling on my own for 8 years and have no problem going to new places and meeting new people on my own. I have being working since the age of 14 and have worked in many different types of jobs, giving me ample experience in multiple different sectors.

I always believe each person has their own strengths and its best to cultivate those, which is why as a keen Business Graduate, I have gained knowledge and experience through my tenure at Southern sun for the past 9 years, however, my passion is to become an Elementary teacher, hence my PGCE admission through the University of Unisa. I am passionate to get to know students as individuals and dedicated in helping each student reach their full potential regardless of academic challenges and I will strive to foster strong relationships with all students as individuals.

I am committed in creating a nurturing environment and want to inspire students to achieve and go beyond their current capabilities.

I have excellent and fluent communication skills both verbal and written.

I pay attention to detail, interpersonal skills and love teamwork. My motto is to be hardworking, honest, responsible and meticulous. This in turn gives me the right attitude to help students and offer my ability to students as well as go through experiences and learn from my lessons. I am always willing to learn new things and adjust to new challenges and I am passionate in helping others so that we are able to strive together and achieve the best results.

I am intelligent, ambitious, and passionate about teaching. I graduated #1 in the College of Business at my very large university while working throughout school. I became a tutor in my final year of school, and it was my favorite job that I have ever held, and cemented for me that I wanted to teach. I became very good at understanding how different students learned, and how to craft a lesson to their enhance their understanding of difficult concepts. I have a very calm and thoughtful personality, which I believe helps me to understand students and how to best attack a concept or problem.
