I am an energetic, friendly and motivated individual who enjoys sharing her knowledge with others.

I don't have much experience in the teaching industry, however I did spend a week as a teaching assistant in a primary school in the UK in 2013. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and have since been interested in pursuing this.

I believe that some of my skills would be well suited to your company.

Creating a new planner is a new experience for me, however, after completing my certification I can create effective teaching planners that will cater to students of every English proficiency level. I have received my 120 Hours TESOL certification from The International Open Academy, founded in Dublin, Ireland. As an ESL teacher, I can select certain materials that would be beneficial to the student and help correct issues that they struggle with.

As a full-time student and an English major, I have been able to create many detailed and thorough essays, creative writing, presentations, and powerpoints that have helped me to be able to organize my work and closely read what the underlying themes of the essay are. I would harness the same skills in my teaching to identify learning material, organize them in my teaching planner, and effectively use it in the classroom.

I have been on the Equestrian team at Wesleyan College for 3 years and learned the essentials for being a team player, identifying nonverbal communication, and using verbal communication. These skills are important in order to be able to work as a team for your company and have effective team building. I am good at working under pressure and the ability to interact with many different people.

As requested I have attached a copy of my résumé. I look forward to hearing from you and I am very appreciative for this job opportunity. Thank you for your consideration.

I have taught in Korea for 1 year but I have over 12 years of experience working with kids. I have substitute taught, done long-term subbing, 1 on 1 tutoring with adults, and completed my practicum with university students at Duquesne University in the USA. I also have 3 education degrees, with my last being a M.Ed. ESL Specialist with a 200+hr TESOL certificate along with a teaching license.

In the classroom, I am a very bright and energetic teacher. I try use that energy to motivate students, helping increase student learning in the classroom.

I believe in giving back to the world and I find this as an opportunity to make a difference, and work with people from other parts of the world to nurture others and change the lives of students. I want to enhance and leverage a career in teaching and hone other relevant skills as well. My dream is to get and have more hands on experiences, where I can be well adept at teaching, bringing in solutions and innovative ideas into the world,experience new ideas, from other places and people from different backgrounds

I have always loved learning and have always wanted to teach. I enjoyed studying for a Law degree and for the Legal Practice Course where I obtained a distinction. During my education, I have found that education is an important factor in helping to achieve social justice and I am very much interested in helping students to learn in a positive and supportive environment; I feel that this will be beneficial for them and will help to lay the foundations for a successful life, academically, professionally and socially by helping to make them more well informed and engaged members of society.

At GCSE and A – Level, I enjoyed helping other students and would often encourage them to complete their work and to revise for examinations. I achieved two A’s and a B at A-Level and was mentioned in the local newspaper and the college prospectus. I would like the opportunity to inspire young people, to teach them to love learning and to develop a positive attitude that will help them to overcome the fear of failure, for example in my first year at college I sat one of the modules for an exam early and was awarded a C grade by the end of the year I had achieved almost all A grades. I really want to encourage students from all backgrounds to ‘never give up,’ as my father always encouraged me to do.

During my first term at university, I volunteered one day a week at the Redbridge Refugee Forum and became aware of the challenges that refugee families face not just with acquiring a new language but with obtaining food, adequate shelter and other financial support which could have an adverse impact on their education. My volunteering experience reminded me of the difficulties that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds faced when learning and helped me to observe the importance of managing class time efficiently to make sure each student was provided with support in the classroom and to tailor the provision of information to accommodate different learning styles to different young people where possible.

I have worked as a Switchboard Operator and Receptionist during the day and night shifts at two hotels and have learnt to successfully work with people from different backgrounds and this has helped me to develop excellent communication skills. I have worked as a Commercial Litigation Paralegal and as a Business Support Officer, for the Children’s Social Services department, in the youth centre and office, as a result, I have resolved to provide young people with the same great educational experience I was given.

I am a CELTA and TEFL certified ESL/EAP teacher from the UK with over six years of experience. I am currently teaching at Canvard College University of Business and Technology in Beijing, China, and will finish my contract by teaching at the University of Plymouth, UK.

My current employment contract ends on September 5th, and after my visa documents are processed, I will be looking to come to Korea. 

During my career, I have lived and worked in four different countries, including two years in Korea. My skills include vast experience with lesson planning, creation of exciting and in-depth lessons for all ages and abilities, confidence and enthusiasm, an open and likeable personality, and a true interest in Korea and Korean culture.


My current role of Pre-Sessional Academic English Tutor at Canvard University of Business and Technology in China, (and later, University of Plymouth in the UK) has allowed me to refine my skills as an English instructor to a more professional level. Teaching in a university environment has been an extremely rewarding job with its own unique challenges that I have enjoyed every second of.

 With my experience, confidence, certification, creativity and enthusiastic personality, I know for a fact that I can actively contribute to the reputation of any school.

Thank you for taking the time to read and consider my resume. I look forward to hearing from you to discussion my application further.
