I have been a manager in the hospitality industry for over twenty years in which time I have shown an ability to train staff and managers to understand their job roles. I am also a great ambassador for the organisations I work for as I am personable and can talk to people at all levels of the organisation with confidence. I love working in customer service as you can understand what people want and deliver, as well as resolve issues a to a satisfactory outcome.

I am a calm and friendly individual and I believe this helps me understand people and help them in the best way I can. I am driven by seeing other people reach their potential and it gives me great pleasure to see others achieving things they couldn't previously do through learning and development.

I am very grateful to have the opportunity to spread my love for my native language to those who wish to learn it and better their futures through communication and international opportunities.

I am hard-working, Enthusiastic about teaching with children and good problem solver. I am well organised and presentable. Always strive to achieve the highest stranded possible at any given task or job. I am accumulated at working in a fast-paced environment. I can communicate to all ages well as I have been mentoring and teaching others since 2013. I am passionate is Korean culture and language I am learning Korean at the moment. 

My experience:
At college, as part of my personal development, I worked closely with junior students. Junior students would approach senior students for guidance and help in practical and academic work.
Senior students were also required to teach practical lessons, evaluate junior students assessments and to act as mentor guiding them through the year.

Why I want ot teach in korea
I visited Korea for 7 weeks last year, and really enjoyed the culture and lifestyle that Korea has to offer. Learning more about the culture and language is one on my key interests.
Teaching provides students with the tools and knowledge to thrive in the adult world and find their passion as I did. Inspirational teachers can excite and influence children, helping them to improve their knowledge and grades. I have been fortunate in my own learning to have been guided by some outstanding teachers. My science teacher at school was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic, which inspired his students and helped them all to achieve better grades. One of my lectures had extraordinary energy and high expectations of her students, providing guidance and support which reflected in the achievements in her students. These two teachers provided me with a role model and standards of what teaching should be.
English as a second language is vital in today’s interconnected world, opening up more opportunities for the next generation. Being able to teach English in Korea is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of a child’s development and growth, in a vibrant and exciting culture.

I am an experienced professional educator. I have created custom course curriculum with lessons specifically catered for my students to achieve the best results possible. I can foster an engaging and purposeful classroom environment where students are comfortable to make mistakes and improve their abilities. I have experience using student centered teaching methods.

I have a first class degree in English from a London university and am passionate about literature. I have worked for publishing companies and as a bookseller. As a teacher I think reading for pleasure is really important for students and always encourage students to pick fun books.

In my gap year before university I worked at an international school in South Korea on Jeju Island. I worked as a boarding house assistant and a teaching assistant. The opportunity allowed me to travel, pick up some of the language and made me fall in love with South Korea and its food.

I am ready to start a new experience and put my TEFL to practise. I have supported in classes before but want to take the lead and work to inspire students to learn a new language.

Hello! My name is Ben Davis, I'm a TESOL-certified English teacher looking for a new opportunity to help students and make life-long friendships. I'm a hardworking and dedicated person who takes time to do things the right way. I love working with children and seeing the happiness that learning can bring them. On a personal level, I like to go on hikes outside and play guitar!

I have recently graduated from university and I am eager to experience different cultures and pursue a career in TEFL teaching. I am currently completing a 120 hour TEFL course from TEFL.org. I am an outgoing and empathetic person who enjoys communicating with others and have a passion to always broaden my skill set.

I am confident with my English ability and also using computer software so I would be able to successfully plan my lessons. I am a great listener and a very organised person.

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am a university graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature and minors in French and Writing, TESOL certification, TOEFL score of 115, and my inherent passion for literature and language learning that would make me an excellent addition to your team. I am a highly-skilled, compassionate, and enthusiastic teaching professional with insight into developing lesson plans and curriculum for elementary to university students. My long-term goal is to eventually go back to school to get my Master's Degree in Library and Information Sciences. With already a year of teaching experience in Korea, I am confident in my ability to become a valuable asset to your academy.

Having studied both English literature and French, I have a deeper understanding of language learning. I am conversationally fluent in French and studying Korean and German. I tutored literary theory and French and acquired the necessary skills to teach students of varying ages and managing classroom atmospheres. I like to research and incorporate various resources to accommodate students via visual and audio learning methods. Depending on the student or students, I integrate either different levels of popular, well-known literature or textbook learning with interactive, student-centered activities that maximize “student talk time,” engaging students in activities using speaking, grammar, writing, listening, and reading to help improve their accuracy and fluency across key skill areas and to ensure comprehension and retention of the concepts and vocabulary. My goal is to foster and maintain a communicative and supportive classroom for students to feel secure and appropriately challenged.

While studying as a full-time student, I also bartended simultaneously, giving me great time management skills. I learned to be flexible to satisfy both the needs of the customer and management and ensure a good atmosphere while managing a clean and safe work environment. I worked in many different, high-demand environments, that allowed me to hone my ability to recall recipes and follow health and safety protocols.

I am outgoing, flexible, and willing to go above and beyond to learn quickly and perform efficiently, including extra prep to ensure I would meet and exceed the academy standards. With my educational and professional background, I hope I have been set apart from other applicants. Please contact me at your convenience so we can set up an interview, I’d love to answer any questions you may have regarding my abilities and to discuss how my diverse skills and experience will enable me to make a valuable contribution to your academy. Thank you for your time.

Yours,

Madison M. Darcey
