I, Tshireletso Boitshepo Bonokwane, am applying for the English teaching position. I’m
from South Africa. I currently live and work in South Korea. I am a 31-year-old female. In
2023, I graduated with a degree in forensic science and technology. I received my 120-
hour TEFL certificate on August 10th, 2022. I’m currently employed at two public schools
in Anseong-si, Gyeonggi-do Province, South Korea. My main school is a middle school
where I work four days a week, and my travel school is an elementary school where I
work once a week and teach five sixth-grade classes. I started my contract in this current school and my travel school on 26th April 2023, and I’ll be completing my contract on 28th February 2026. I would like to start the job preferably in March or April 2026.
I think of myself as a diligent worker and a leader. I’m quite good at solving problems. I
value honesty and a hands-on approach, and as a team player, I am equally adept at
conveying the goals and vision of any organisation I work with. I collaborate with people on
a technical and human level. I ask questions and provide detailed explanations while being
patient. I have a strong background in education and a strong interest in kids and learning
in general. I believe that working as an English Native Teacher in South Korea for nearly
three years, together with previous experience in my home country as an Educational
Assistant at a combined school, has provided me with the necessary knowledge and skills
as a teacher.
Thank You
Miss T.B Bonokwane 

To whom it may concern;

I am writing to express my interest in the teaching position at your school. With a multicultural upbringing, rigorous academic training, and a passion for language and history, I bring a global perspective and strong intellectual curiosity to the classroom.

Originally from China and raised in Canada, I completed my early education across both countries and was awarded the Ontario Scholar designation for academic excellence. I hold a CELTA certification and began my undergraduate studies at Queen’s University in Kingston before transferring to Germany, where I completed my degree. I later earned a Master’s degree in Central European Comparative Studies from Charles University in Prague, graduating summa cum laude. This multidisciplinary program, rooted in history and cultural analysis, deepened my appreciation for diverse perspectives and critical thinking.

I have lived and studied in five countries and am fluent in English, Mandarin, French, and German, with additional exposure to Polish, Czech, Latin, Russian, and Finnish. This linguistic and cultural breadth enables me to connect with students from a variety of backgrounds and to foster inclusive, engaging learning environments.

Currently, I am seeking an opportunity to contribute to a vibrant, international academic community, recognizing the dedication to education, curiosity, and intercultural understanding.

Please find my CV attached. I would be happy to provide further information or references at your convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Warm regards,
Robert Ding

I am an empathetic and hardworking educator with a strong work ethic and a passion for ensuring each of my students reaches their full potential.
I am a qualified teacher in the United Kingdom, holding Qualified Teacher Status, with four years of teaching experience. I taught at Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate for two years between 2022 and 2024. This is a private, independent, and international boarding school, in which 53% of the student population comes from overseas. Queen Ethelburga’s offers education to both primary and secondary-aged students, with varying levels of English as an Additional Language ability.

Over time, I have developed my teaching practice to become an adaptable and responsive teacher, able to identify barriers to learning and implement appropriate support to ensure every student can succeed. I am well versed in pedagogy, and as an advocate for lifelong learning, I strive to continually improve my teaching through research, observations, and current best practices. In addition to my PGCE in History, I am trained in phonics through the Ruth Miskin Fresh Start programme, and I also hold a Team Teach Level 2 qualification. I also hold a 120-hour TEFL certificate from TEFL.org, completed in 2017.

Prior to completing my teacher training in 2021, I worked as an SEND Lead Practitioner at York High School, supporting the effective running of the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities department. Within this role, I was responsible for identifying students with additional needs. I also taught phonics and targeted reading interventions to 170 students three times a week, in small groups of 10–12. I hold a Certificate of Higher Education in Primary Education Studies from the University of Cumbria (completed in 2011), and I have experience working with both primary and secondary-aged students in mainstream and special educational needs settings. To supplement my studies during this time, I also spent a month teaching English as a foreign language to primary and secondary students in a school in Nepal, as well as providing English lessons to school staff in my spare time.

Since leaving Queen Ethelburga’s in August 2024, I have been working as a supply teacher with Just Teachers. I have worked in a range of mainstream and special educational needs settings, in both teaching and pastoral roles. This experience has been highly beneficial to my teaching practice and has equipped me with the ability to walk into any classroom and create a safe and secure learning environment where each child feels valued and empowered to do their best.

I am currently based in the UK and am looking to start a new role in December 2025 or January 2026. I have a flight booked to Thailand on Tuesday 16 December, with a view to travelling to South Korea from there. I would be available to start from Friday 19 December. All of my documentation, apart from the CBC (which I have yet to apply for), has been apostilled and is ready, if needed.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you in due course.
