My Ideal start date would be next year February as that would give me enough time to collect all the background checks and apostilled.

I have been an English teacher in China now for three years. In those three years I have taught a range of student ages from 3 years to 22. I am well organized and can stick to strict time constraints. I work well in teams as well as autonomously. I am easy to interact with and can capture the attention of many students to engage them in classes. While teaching younger students, I had a range of experience teaching phonics, tenses, basic vocabulary and acting classes. With my older students I have had experience teaching them more complex sentence structures and and grammar points as well as assisted them in academic writing such a Compare and Contrast essays, Research essays, Problem and Solution essays and Argumentative essays.

To whom it may concern,

As a new but enthusiastic ESL teacher I wish to gain experience and develop my skills. Having taught English online to students in China for the better part of a year, I am aware of how rewarding this profession can be and it is one that I wish to pursue further. I am greatly looking forward to being able to teach students in person where my personality can shine through and I am able to build relationships in order to motivate, educate and hopefully have fun with them along the way.

As a destination for teaching, Korea really stands out for me. The rich culture and stunning scenery is something that I am really looking forward to being immersed in. For someone such as myself who is just starting their teaching journey there appears to be a great support system in place that removes a lot of the hurdles so I can focus on finding my style and becoming a better teacher.

With my motivation to share my knowledge and develop the students understanding of the English language, I am prepared to push myself to exceed the expectations you have for this role. Thank you for your consideration

Sincerely,
Sam Townsend

I am very comfortable working with and managing groups of children, a skill developed through my experiences working as a nanny, helping run a vacation bible school program, babysitting younger family members, and tutoring.

I am also currently enrolled in a 120 Hr TOEFL course, as well as a Teaching English to Young Learners TOEFL Specialist Course, both to be completed this month (July 2019). While in university, I also took an education course aimed at showing teachers how to effectively improve student literacy and fluency in English.

I also believe my personality makes me especially well-suited to a foreign teaching position. After spending a semester in Shanghai–and interning at Intel Shanghai for a summer–I am very flexible and capable of thriving in different environments where English is not the primary language of communication. Working abroad has made me patient and very empathetic. I have studied four languages throughout my life and am accordingly familiar with the struggles of language learners and can connect with them in ways that I believe will make me an effective teacher. I have a real passion for the English language and would love the opportunity to share this excitement with my students.

My internships have made me comfortable with managing larger groups and speaking in public. I feel fully confident in my classroom management skills and my ability to communicate lessons effectively.

Overall, I believe my experiences have shaped me into a person capable of being an effective teacher who makes her students excited to learn.

Hello,

I am a confident, positive-minded, and hardworking person capable of making a meaningful contribution using a wide variety of skills and experiences directly linked to teaching, management, and care. Some of these enriching experiences include the Children's literacy center, in which I established a professional and open rapport with my student; working at the Worner Campus Center at Colorado College as a manager in which I offered a multitude of customer services along with managing over 20 student assistants. And one of my most fun and recent experiences was teaching social studies at Keystone Academy in Beijing to students ages 5 to 14 years old.
Through my experiences, I polished my skills in handling several tasks simultaneously, prioritizing, organization, technical, interpersonal, and dependability. In addition, I am strong-minded who has excellent communication skills and the ability to work individually or within a team. I am a fast learner who adapts quickly to change and eager to learn new things. I am someone who meets goals and provides top-quality results with minimal supervision.

As a CELTA certified English teacher, during my teaching practice, I worked with wonderful adult learners, ranging in age from late teens to late sixties. My students also varied in their English proficiency from lower intermediate to upper intermediate. From this experience, I learned a lot about meeting my students' needs, time management, and classroom management.
Currently I teach English and critical thinking online through Aha! Academy to Chinese international students in their late teens and twenties. Through teaching in this one-on-one capacity, I have grown in my ability to guide students in their communication skills and cultural awareness. Previously, I taught weekly 3 hour American Culture and Conversation classes for international graduate students at UCLA to facilitate a smooth transition to the US. In this position, I was responsible for lesson-planning in addition to teaching.
These experiences have all contributed to my abilities to encourage my students, help them achieve their goals, and empower them to excel in their communicative and receptive abilities in English.
As someone with a warm and friendly personality, I care deeply about my students and one of my great strengths as a teacher is my ability to connect with my students.
