My name is Phillip Tsang and I’m very much interested in teaching in Seoul. I was born and raised in San Francisco, California. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in business economics. While studying at university, I was able to meet many Korean friends that were studying abroad. The friends that I made was a bond that is something that has carried me all the way through my adult years. That is where my interest to experience the culture further and desire to learn the language began.

I’ve been working in a logistics company for the past four years where I am responsible for coordinating multiple shipments daily across America and all over the world. I also am involved with communicating with our offices all over Asia which gives me the opportunity to interact with people from different cultural backgrounds.

Although I have no formal teaching experience, I lead a team of two people and consistently train new employees on the system and procedure. The extensive amount of time and effort that my superiors have instilled into me for being in charge of the training portion of our company is something that I have to take very seriously. Becoming a teacher takes a lot of patience as well as organization to prepare two of my strongest points in life. I am very much so confident that if I am granted this once in a lifetime experience I will be able to bring so many positive changes to these kids’ lives.

Best Regards,
Phillip

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
