Throughout my past professional career, I have undertaken various important responsibilities with utmost sincerity. After graduation I
became a peer educator, which equipped me with experience of teaching. I worked alongside a teacher teaching life skills. I taugt in elementaryschool, where I used lelearn centred style which allowed students to engage and participate in the lesson which lead to learners enjoying the lesson and wanting to learn.
I understand that being an ESL teacher requires one to have an ability to forming good relationship with students, colleagues and parents and be
open minded and have the ability to navigate difference in culture flexibility and I believe that I hold those traits. Helping students establish their personal, vocational, academic goal is a passion of mine which I strive for.
The skills that resonates with me which plays a huge role in becoming a good esl teacher are the ones listed below:

• PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS
• INTERPERSONAL SKILLS
• ABILITY TO WORK IN A TEAM
• COMMUNICATION SKILLS (VERBAL &
WRITTEN )
• COMPUTER SKILL (MS Office & excellent
speed and accuracy typing)
• VERY GOOD ORGANISING SKILL
• ABILITY TO WORK UNDER PRESSURE
• ATTENTION TO DETAILS

I greatly enjoy working with children of all ages. I take my jobs and education very seriously and hold myself to a high standard.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Birmingham having studied History and Hispanic Studies as an Undergraduate and International Relations as a Postgraduate. I am very hardworking, organised and can adapt quickly to new situations, as well as being reliable and diligent.
I can speak Spanish and have experience tutoring English as a foreign language to Spanish speaking students and I also have experience coaching Karate to all ages (from five years to sixty years old.) I am currently completing an 120 hour online Teaching English as a Foreign Language course from TEFL.org learning how to plan and deliver lessons, I will complete this course in April.
From learning foreign languages I can empathise with students and have a lot of patience in teaching because I understand that everyone learns differently and has different attention spans. From coaching Karate I learned how to lead activities that would keep children focused and in a manner that would optimise memorisation of new knowledge and concepts. I hope to transfer these skills and develop as a teacher in order to help students achieve their potential and learn happily.

I completed my BCom in Econometrics and Economics at the University of Johannesburg in 2017.

What do I have to offer? I am an analytical thinker, diligent and a meticulous person which I believe to be the type of individual that will learn and enhance my international spectrum, to keep the standard and even raise it to higher bars. In collaboration with my studies, I also have work experience as a financial controller at Sagisa Process Engineering where my duties involved doing debtors and creditors control, analysis of financials and reporting to the directors with viable solutions, using Sage Pastel/Evolution software for bookkeeping purposes , performing the B-BBEE recognition level procedure and earning the company a recognition level of 4 according to the newly established BEE Standards. Also included is SARS filing tax submissions and payroll (Intercode).

I believe to be the type of individual that will learn and enhance my international spectrum as I partake in the programme. My main aim is to add value through foreign language education and understanding of the Korean culture from different perspectives. South Korea is known to be a beautiful yet cultural and quite tech savvy country. To be honest, I don’t have first hand experience in teaching but I’m keen because I know that it’s something I can do at any given moment because it’s the most heart warming feeling, knowing that you have impacted a learners life both directly and indirectly. The opportunity has also come in a time where education has been impacted but now is the time to try and excitedly assist to get things back to normal.

My endeavours are to achieve wisdom and knowledge through education, which will result, in a character being built to serve with sound judgement and good ethical values. My achievements in this regard, have not come by default but through hard work, fighting through the most unfavourable circumstances.

My ambitions are to carry out my work faithfully and reaching my true potential by adding intrinsic value to the organisational structure as a whole. I hope my application receives your attention.
