I have worked for several years part time and both a babysitter and an au pair for local families in my town in the UK. Additionally, during my time at school I volunteered with local refugee children to help them with their homework. This experience, along with my friendly and outgoing personality, has enhanced my skills working with children and helping them to grow and learn as individuals. Throughout this last year at university, I have volunteered through a society helping local adult refugees to improve their English skills. This has given me valuable experience to put my TEFL qualification into practice. I am a very patient and dedicated individual and would love the opportunity to help young children with their English skills. I have always been very driven and motivated to continue my own learning experience, and this enthusiasm is reflected in my desire to help others get excited about learning too.

I have quite a bit of experience in teaching various subjects and taking care of young children. I've looked after and tutored children for a number of years and taught English for a year to mainly preschoolers as well as elementary and middle school aged kids in Taiwan.

I have always been fascinated by language. This fascination is what drove me to get my bachelor's degree in linguistics with a minor in French. In the past, I have studied multiple languages formally and informally such as French, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese, and German.

I am passionate about the English language and have a great deal of experience working with it. This includes through my English literature degree and my work as print news editor for my student newspaper.

I also have a great deal of professional experience working in a team. I currently work at UBS where I collaborate with others on a daily basis to achieve a variety of goals. I also oversee long term projects and help to see them through.

Finally, I am a positive and enthusiastic person who will throw myself into any challenges or new experiences. Furthermore, I am kind-natured and friendly which makes me well suited to working with children.

I am highly adaptable to change.I’ve always considered myself to have a strong work ethic; I always aim to meet deadlines.I am discipline in my work, Patient and determined and I have a genuine interest in working with and helping develop children to reach their full potential.
I have often been told by my students’ parents that their children feel loved and cared for in my classroom. When I started teaching, one of my student caught my eye as being constantly aggressive and hostile. I kept him after school for an hour each week, but instead of detention, I asked him to help me clean up the classroom and prepare the lessons for the next day. He just wanted to talk, and I could sense that. At the end of the year the parent thank me for my patience and care I gave to the children.The meaningful contribution made in overcoming challenges in the classroom to help create a productive and happy learning environment

As part of my bachelors degree, I studied a module called 'Communicating and teaching Mathematics', which involved researching and evaluating how effective various teaching methodologies are in different scenarios. From this, I am able to determine which teaching style is most suitable in specific contexts and develop a good understanding of child development. In addition, we were also required to design two learning resources for secondary school students. My creativity enabled me to produce original and engaging content that aided the students in transitioning to their next level of education.

Having worked as a private Maths tutor for Primary and Secondary school students and as a Mentor for first year university students, I have experience in working with a variety of age groups. I was able to successfully adapt my style and produce the appropriate learning material for the differing audiences. I created a positive energy within my lessons to inspire confidence in the students and to motivate them to achieve their full potential. Also, my personable approach allowed me to quickly build trusting relationships.

As a hobby, I have a huge interest in travelling and embracing different cultures. Given there are over 160 nationalities at my university, I am experienced in working in a multicultural setting and I am sensitive to different cultural values and customs. I would also hope to share insight on British culture with others.

I am currently a experienced English tutor who has taught students of all ages. I'm passionate about mentoring students in improving their academic and personal development. I have excellent communication skills to help their students understand complex ideas.
I have a very positive attitude which helped motivate students by emphasising their strong points and encouraging them to challenge themselves.

I am an American who grew up in the Bahamas, and I attended an International Baccalaureate program primary school in the Bahamas before going to an elite International
boarding high school in the U.S. with about 300 students from over 30 countries. I then went
to a top university in Canada and have also travelled to now 29 countries. I believe that me
teaching in Incheon would be a fantastic opportunity for both myself and your students- to
further expand my skill base, gain new cultural and historical insight, and for me to share my
passion for learning, reading and writing, as well as my unique life experiences with the
students there in order to further expand their horizons. I am an incredibly friendly, positive and encouraging person to my family, friends, coworkers and students and have been told that my energy lights up every room that I enter.
In terms of visual, verbal and kinesthetic learners, I thoroughly enjoy incorporating
presentations and arts and craft projects into my lessons and I am very skilled with visual arts,
musical lessons, keynote and powerpoint presentations, and utilizing technology, while also
including unique physical and tactile learning activities that I have used in my university
projects, coaching, tutoring, and both my artistic and scientific endeavors.
My expertise and studies in early child development and psychology, along with writing for children’s literature will also be a wonderful asset to have. I have also worked remotely for my research jobs in the past and I have both learned and tutored remotely amidst the current global pandemic via Zoom. I say this to assure you that I would be perfectly equipped to teach remotely should COVID-19 circumstances change.
Kindly review my attached resumé, which further details my higher education and relevant experience.
I look forward to hearing from you and I thank you for your time!

Warmest regards,
Nicholas Rahming

A personal attribute of mine that I think will benefit this workplace is that I am very patient. As children grow, they learn how to socialize and communicate with others. At first, it may be difficult to understand children as they learn these developmental skills, but I am willing to calmly interact with the student in order to fully comprehend their perspective of the situation.

In addition to patience, I am very friendly. In fact, strangers often ask me for directions or other types of assistance while I am walking around town. With childcare educational programs, I want children to be able to have fun with a variety of activities, and I believe that if I present myself with an optimistic yet professional attitude, I can become more approachable to children if they require assistance.

An experience that may contribute to my qualifications is my employment with the City of Richmond as a substitute sports instructor, preschool worker, and day camp volunteer. During those times, I interacted with a variety of age groups including preschoolers, and I was able to support the children by planning and implementing games into the class. If situations arose where children misbehaved, I was able to digress the matter by calmly speaking to them about their actions. Resolving issues also allowed me to communicate well with other employees and meticulously carry out duties assigned to me.
