I have a wide range of ESL teaching experience despite my age. I have spent time teaching in Vietnam, China, Thailand as well as the UK. I am now currently teaching at an elementary school in Yanggu, South Korea. Thanks to this experience, I have managed to grow and improve my teaching abilities across many different age groups and English speaking abilities.
I am very hard working and pride myself on ensuring my students are actively learning, while also creating a positive and welcoming atmosphere in my classroom so that all students are confident enough to use their English, whatever their ability may be.
I am always looking for ways to grow and improve my teaching so that my students education can grow and improve in turn.

During my undergrad, I got the opportunity to work directly with youth and applied the skills that I have learned. I completed 150 hours of community service at an Early Development Center. I also have experience working with student K-5. I am outgoing and full of energy which would lends itself well towards working with younger students. I am currently living in Korea and have a year experience working at a Academy. I've worked with Elementary through middle school students. I have experience making my own lesson plans and helping students prepare for middle school test. An average class size ranges from 1-8 students.

I am an energetic, sociable person with a passion for language teaching and learning. I am working on a 180 hour TEFL certificate and have recently completed an MA in Applied Linguistics from which I gained invaluable knowledge in SLA teaching methodologies and teaching practices. In the past, I have tutored students for German language exams, as German was my BA major.

Dear Hiring Manager,

I was looking for a teaching opportunity on the TEFL jobs centre and I just saw that you had openings for an English teacher.

I am from Canada, but currently living in Ireland. I have a newly obtained TEFL certification, and I have experience tutoring and working with children. During summer 2018, I had the opportunity to give workshops to promote children’s literacy development and help them see that reading can be a great and rewarding experience. I led early-learning music workshops for children in 2014. It helped young children to discover different instruments and rhythms, as well as some dance moves and vocabulary. I was also a camp counsellor in a summer camp for disabled people for two years.

Additionally, I have a Bachelor's degree in music from the University of Montreal. I speak English and French and I have been studying Korean for 4 years now. I am patient, hardworking, reliable and I have great teamwork skills. I love traveling and South Korea is one of the destinations that I liked the most and I would be thrilled to have an opportunity to enhance my teaching skills.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you need more information.

Best regards,

In terms of myself, I can bring a wide range of experience and knowledge. In both of my professional jobs, I have achieved multiple promotions every year, and have been positively recognised for my ability to train all people and adapt accordingly.

In addition to this, I do have teaching experience, having achieved a degree and QTS in teaching Geography to 11-18 year olds at Sunderland University. As well as this, I have also completed a placement at a local primary school to give experience of a younger age.

Finally, growing up my Mother was a childminder, which also gives me a unique insight into even younger ages, and how they can develop through their childhood.

I am passionate about education and love to do so in a different country. I consider myself to be reliable, trustworthy, responsible, intelligent and a good team player. I believe there needs to be a balance between fun and discipline in any learning environment and that every child should get the opportunity to reach their full potential.

I am an open minded and independent individual who likes learning new things. I am caring, empathetic and have a good sense of humor. I have excellent communication and leadership skills. I am able to adapt to different situations and environments. I have a lot of patience and give good advice.

I have had the experience of interacting with people of different age groups in my community. My first classroom teaching experience was when I was a kindergarten and elementary school religion teacher at my local church for a year. I helped to coordinate plays; I did arts and crafts with the children, I engaged in a lot of reading, writing, singing and dancing with children in my class.

I have also been part of a youth group and helped to train some of them in the multimedia team. During my time at my local church, I went to orphanages and old age homes to offer my help by serving them food, handing out gifts and interacting with them on a personal level.

I do have some professional work experience in the HR field which has equipped me to work with staff members.
