My experience consists of teaching children (3-16 yrs) basic music theory, English speaking, and writing skills. I worked with families with children (0-6 yrs) in building healthy parenting skills through creating programs and activities that support their children's physical/emotional/cognitive development.
I am known to be an engaging, resourceful educator, and I am open to criticism and learning from my peers. I am hardworking and always ask questions to improve my performance and quality of education.
I have a music background, which consists of piano and violin which I use in my current position to teach families and their children through songs. I can create social media content using Canva and Instagram. I also have experience in using Windows OneDrive for documentation. I am able to use Zoom for online learning programs too.

– Interned at a Korean workplace (국가인권위원회), thus familiar with Korean work culture (9 months)

PERSONALITY

– I am caring, calm, positive, friendly, and approachable. My shy Korean students (ages 5, 10, 16, etc.) especially felt comfortable around me.
– I respect each student as I would an adult. I believe in encouraging their self-confidence and creativity as much as their English language ability.

I do not have any official experience teaching, but I still believe I have the skills, dedication, and professionalism to be an asset to your organization. My strengths include punctuality, determination, and creative problem solving. I am a cool-headed and patient person with a passion for education and the English language. Education plays a larger role than anything else in providing people with opportunities to improve and take control of their lives. I would be honored to contribute to that.

Dear Sir/ Madam

I hereby make an application for the position of English Teacher that was advertised at your school. After reviewing your job description, it’s clear that you’re looking for a candidate that is extremely familiar with the responsibilities associated with the position and can perform them confidently.

I hold a 120 Hours TEFL Certificate from globaltefl.uk.com/. I currently work as an English Teacher at California KL Language Center, in Malaysia.

Having worked in schools in England for the past three years, I have developed a passion and commitment to teaching. A key focus of my work has always been teaching children to speak, read and write beautifully, providing them with the skills and confidence to flourish.

In my last role, I took on the responsibility of teaching English as a second language to Japanese students. Through structured weekly lessons and day-to-day immersive learning, I tutored 4-5 year old students from speaking no English to developing a wide vocabulary and the ability to understand, speak, and write English. This wonderful experience sparked my desire to teach English as an additional language full time.

Having now studied a level 5 TEFL certificate, I am further prepared and enthused to begin teaching in South Korea. I believe in the value of a high quality education and I am a caring, attentive teacher who strives for the best in their students. I am confident that I can bring my experience, professionalism, care and dedication to this job.
