I would like to express my strong interest in an English Teaching position in South Korea. With experience supporting learners in classroom, one-on-one, and professional settings, coupled with a 120-hour TEFL certification, I am eager to bring my passion for education and commitment to student growth to South Korea.
As a Co-Teacher and Paraprofessional at Frederick W Hartnett Middle School, I worked with students for individualized 504 and IEP plans, assisted in lesson delivery, and managed classroom activities, inquiries, and behavior. I have also stepped in as a substitute teacher, planning and executing lessons while maintaining a positive and structured learning environment. Additionally, my experience as a private tutor for over a decade has honed my ability to adapt teaching strategies to diverse learning styles and needs—skills that are essential in supporting students in a dynamic hagwon setting.
Beyond academics, my background as a pediatric-focused psychiatric technician and EMT has strengthened my crisis prevention, communication, behavioral management, and interpersonal skills. I am certified in CPI and MOAB, and I consistently foster safe, engaging, and supportive environments for students of all ages. I bring energy, patience, and creativity to the classroom, striving to make English learning both accessible and enjoyable.
It is important to me to nurture student confidence and academic growth. I am excited to contribute my experience in lesson planning, individualized support, and classroom management to help students thrive in English language learning.
Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background and enthusiasm for teaching can benefit students and a school community.

I have leadership experience both from volunteering at my local Boys scouts regiment and volunteering with Younglife youth organisation. I’m an enthusiastic and energetic person with a passion for leading and discovering new cultures.
Having volunteered as a camp councillor I have had teaching experience, whilst also keeping the safety of the children my top priority.
I have also ran numerous summer schemes at my local dance school for dancers aged 3-16. This built my management and quick thinking skills, as often dancers would lose interest in a task. This would require me to adjust tasks to ensure engagement from every student.

I bring a mix of experience, adaptability, and strong interpersonal skills to my teaching. I’m patient and able to adjust my approach to meet students at different levels, making sure everyone can understand and keep up. My teaching style focuses on clear communication, creativity, and engagement, helping students stay interested while building confidence. I aim to create a positive, supportive classroom environment where learning feels both effective and enjoyable.

My name is Grace peers. I am 26 years old. I’m from the Wirral, England. I have a degree in criminology and Psychology and 120-hours in TEFL course at The TEFL org. I am passionate and driven when it comes to developing children's skills in the English language. Last year, I taught English in Vietnam in a small town called Ha tinh.

During this time, I have delivered engaging lessons, created customised tests, lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations, and interactive games to enhance student learning. I have worked with public and private school so I’m familiar with large classes sizes. I motivate stronger students by having conversations with them and helping them speak more fluently. With the weaker students, I adapt my technique by building their confidence, creating a safe learning space, use fun and engaging activities and give them the extra support they need.

In my classroom, I focus on making my lessons fun, interactive and engaging. I believe students learn the best when they are active participants so I incorporate games, songs and stories. I love to use visual aids, gestures and props to make lesson more memorable. I have a teddy that when the student hold only they can give the answer or talk. I have taught a range of ages but my most experience is with children from 3 to 10.

I am friendly, positive, and confident person, I put my heart into everything I do. I am enthusiastic about my job which rubs off on my students. Having great organisation helps a lot in the classroom as I have to juggle a lot of tasks and help me mention a level of professionalism. I create a warm and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes. My goal is to build their confidence in speaking and understanding English. Therefore I always celebrate progress and make sure every students feel supported. I am adaptable individual and have a thirst to experience different cultures and countries.

I believe TPR (total Physical response) is a really good way to teach younger students as
TPR makes meaning clear and memorable. It stimulates both hemispheres of the brain. One way i have used this in my classroom is when teaching grade 1 ( 6 year old) about action verbs. We played Simon says. This along side drilling the vocabulary helped them remember the action verbs after having two weeks of from school.

Some student may feel tired or unmotivated. But to overcome this i make sure: i show an interest in the students’ learning; have well-prepared lesson plans; build rapport with them; are enthusiastic; use lots of intonation in my voice; and avoid shouting, my students should hopefully keep interested. Rewards can also help, simply by giving students stickers for completing a task. I found this really useful especially with capybara stickers in Vietnam.

I am passionate about education and truly love contributing to the community, helping students build a brighter future. My role as a teacher is important to me as i believe every student should have a chance of education. I want every child to have a chance to succeed.

I am a hardworking, reliable and passionate professional with experience supporting international students and tutoring students of different ages. I have a degree in English and a TEFL certificate.

I am writing to express my interest in an English teaching position in South Korea. With a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and a focus in Communications, a 120-hour TEFL certification, and over eight years of experience in communication-driven roles, I bring a strong foundation in engagement, adaptability, and interpersonal connection that translates naturally into the classroom.

Throughout my professional career, I have developed the ability to communicate clearly, build trust quickly, and create structured yet welcoming environments for diverse groups of people. In my role as a Front-of-House Lead and Event Coordinator, I regularly worked with individuals from various cultural backgrounds, adapting my communication style to ensure clarity, comfort, and positive engagement. These experiences have prepared me to foster inclusive and supportive learning environments for students.

My background in training and mentoring team members has strengthened my ability to guide learners, break down complex ideas into accessible concepts, and encourage participation. I am particularly passionate about helping students build confidence in their English abilities through interactive and engaging lessons.

I am especially drawn to South Korea’s commitment to education and cultural exchange through programs such as EPIK and private academies. I am eager to contribute to a school community where I can support student development while also growing as an educator in an international setting.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my skills and enthusiasm can contribute to schools in South Korea.

Dear GLOII Job Consulting Team,

I am writing to you to apply for the English teacher position.

I have experience teaching English in Vietnam and Japan. In Vietnam, I taught for a semester in elementary, middle, and high schools. In Japan, I taught in elementary schools for one year. I gained experience in teaching in varied settings to different ages. I worked successfully alongside other teachers, as well as by myself, to provide engaging lessons for learners of varied abilities.

I find it extremely rewarding being among, and learning from, people from different backgrounds and cultures to my own. Travelling and working among people from different countries is something that is very important to me and, through my many and varied work experiences, I realise that finding ways to engage positively with young people is going to be something I would like to continue throughout my life.

During my time coaching sport in South Africa and America, I enjoyed working as part of teams made up of diverse groups of people from all over the world. I am very experienced at and capable of fitting into a team and contributing to it. From my time spent playing sport and working as a PE teacher and football coach, I appreciate the importance of teamwork and cooperation in achieving a goal.

I greatly enjoy teaching English. My desire to do so has increased since working as an English teacher in Vietnam and Japan. I would now very much like to further test and develop my English teaching skills in Korea.

From my merchandise vending and front of house roles I have developed strong skills in communicating effectively with clients and potential customers in a high pressure and sometimes challenging setting. I enjoy being the face of my team in demanding environments. I am adept at quickly forming positive working relationships with individuals from all backgrounds.

During my time in teaching and in hospitality, I strengthened my ability to maintain my sense of humour during trying circumstances. This enables me to cooperate effectively regardless of pressure. I also developed diligence in my work ethic, as I built my skills in understanding, managing, and exceeding clients’ expectations.

I hope that this letter expresses how excited I am at the possibility of working for you in Korea, and how I think I would be a strong asset to your team.

Yours sincerely,

Samuel Lodge
