I am a dedicated, hard working native English speaker, and I am confident that I possess the qualities that make me ideal for the ESL teaching role in Korea.
Having successfully completed a 120-hour TEFL course, I believe myself to be in a good position to take up the role advertised, being eager to begin furthering my skills and applying them to educating. Time spent volunteering at a local Cubs group has made me comfortable and confident in leading groups of children. In addition to this, I recently have begun observing French classes in a nearby primary school, which offers me a very useful insight into how a professional teaches a foreign language to younger learners.
University gave me experience in organising and delivering presentations, while achieving a first-class degree demonstrates my dedication and ability to work hard. My employment has instilled me with a strong sense of responsibility and taught me excellent communication skills, in both speaking and listening. I pride myself on being friendly and open, characteristics that make me a great fit for this role, while a keen interest in running keeps me fit and healthy.

I am a friendly and approachable individual that is well acquainted with foreign language teaching, having both learnt Spanish to fluency and mentored students at sixth form and degree level. My disciplined work ethic was important in me achieving an Upper Second-Class Honours at university. I am flexible and adaptable which has allowed me to mentor students, take part in extracurricular activities and balance a job alongside education. Furthermore, I have an in-depth understanding of student-teacher dynamics, including how lessons are most effectively planned and delivered, which will undoubtedly contribute to me becoming a key member of staff.

Dear Whomever it may concern,

My name is Royon Meerzadah. I graduated from Duquesne University in 2020 with a degree in International Relations and a minor in Political Science and Law. Throughout my time at school I gained experience in teaching by tutoring many foreign exchange students in English, the students I primarily worked with were from Saudi Arabia and Japan. Over the summer of 2020 I worked at a summer camp where I tutored kids from 1st grade to 7th grade in math and science as well as spelling, reading, and writing. Currently I am a teacher's assistant in Spain helping teach kids from 3rd grade to 6th grade English. In my current position I converse with the students in English as well as teach to them American grammar, slang, vocabulary, and culture so they may better understand the language.

I come from a multicultural and ethnic background, due to this I have developed into a very open-minded person. When I was young my family moved back and forth between America and Uzbekistan which made me a type of person that can adapt to different environments easily. I am also a very friendly and outgoing person. I love meeting new people and going to new places. My ability to adapt easily, friendly and outgoing personality is how I found employment in Spain as a teacher's assistant.

I have great time management skills and I am very detail oriented. I developed my time management skills due to working part time and doing internships, while also being a full time university student. This disciplined me into making sure I managed my time wisely. In the past, I worked at a law firm as well as a research facility. Both of these internships emphasized the importance of being detail oriented to make sure there were no mistakes made in our research or projects.

I currently teach English online to Chinese students, both adults and children. Using the curriculum provided, I teach grammar, vocab and conversational English using props, rewards and games to engage learners of all ages.

I have also taught English to local Koreans in my area, as part of an English-Korean Language Exchange I was a part of. We met once a week and the students directed the topics we spoke about.

I am currently a support worker, aiding adults with learning difficulties. I arrange educational and engaging activities to help improve their speaking and understanding, as well as support them in daily tasks. This job enables me to stay patient, creative and find alternative ways of communicating – as many of the adults I care for are non-verbal and require signing, images and gestures – much like teaching someone who speaks a foreign language.

I have developed a significant degree personal autonomy which manifests itself in a strong sense of self-direction, discipline and initiative, from combined experiences in the hospitality and retail sectors as well as experiences in various volunteer roles carried out during my time as an undergraduate student. I am capable of effective time management and am able to communicate ideas, concepts and facts concisely to groups of diverse ages and capabilities. What I lack in practical teaching experience, I make up for with advanced TEFL qualifications and the ability to learn quickly and attentively, thus being able to adjust my techniques and activities accordingly. I consider myself to be a patient, warm and supportive person, capable of a high degree of professionalism.

I believe I have the skills and the experience necessary to be an effective, confident and empathic teacher.

My degree in theatre has helped me develop confidence speaking to a room full of people. I believe this confidence will help me transition to my role within the classroom and not be able to command the attention of my students effectively. I am a creative person and can think of my feet which will enable me to engage the students with that interesting tasks that, not only help them learn, but will also keep their attention and be fun.

I am a very organised person who likes a challenge and I think this is a challenge I can rise to. Throughout my time at university, I had to work to and meet strict deadlines, which has led to me having good time management. This strength will help me to complete lessons plans promptly and ensures all tasks in the classroom can be completed in the allocated time slot.

My previous roles working in retail have enabled me to be confident in adapting my approach to a wide variety of people and groups. I think this is important when working with students of different abilities as ill be able to tailor my approach to them to ensure they feel valued in the classroom and excel in their learning.

During my time in retail, I had to watch customers and look for 'buying signals’. I think this skill can be transferred into monitoring student's needs, especially when monitoring those who are struggling but are nervous about asking for help. As I have taught English online before I have the skills to build rapport with students even if we do not speak the same language. teaching children in China online, I used props, body language and engaging activities to keep students interest and get the most out of our lessons. During my time I also have some experience teaching face to face so know how to run a class and keep students engaged. I am also used to working with a wide range of stake holders and so know how to keep a balance of different groups wants and needs and make sure they get the most out of it. My experience in both education and the work place has taught me how to effectively and politely resolve problems if they are to arise.
