ESL Teachers

Hello! My name is Peace Kanu-Asiegbu. You probably read my first name Akachukwu and shook your head as you tried to pronounce it. Thankfully, there will be no need for that. I go by my middle name Peace which is shorter, universal, comes with its own hand signal, and is a great conversation starter in any country.

I speak three languages (English, Igbo, and Spanish). I can read and understand quite a bit of Italian and Portuguese because of its linguistic similarities to Spanish. My latest quest into languages are Russian and Korean. The Russian is because I have been obsessed with James Bond movies and action movies in general since I was a child. Most of the bad guys spoke Russian so I wanted to learn. My Korean language learning has happened within the past year. I have managed to learn the Hangul alphabet, the grammar rules that pertain to the alphabet, and some basic phrases. Duolingo, Korean television, and learning blogs have played a part in my learning. Basically, I love languages. I have also lived on three different continents so I am accustomed to being immersed in different cultures. One of my favorite places to be is at an international airport.

I am a freelance web designer with ties to the fashion and hotel industries. Although those interests seem to be varied, I can assure you that it allows me the opportunity to converse with people from all walks of life. I worked in the hotel industry for over 4 years. The job allowed me to talk to people from all over the world daily and assist them with their needs. I helped with translation services at 360 Eats, the non-profit organization, where I was a web designer for over a year. I also helped with tutoring language students over the past couple of years, though not in an official capacity.

I know that my experience might not be linear with teaching, but I understand the process of learning multiple languages as a child or at any age. Before I immigrated to the USA at age 10, I lived in Aba, Nigeria. Though English is one of the official languages of my country, I also had to speak my native language of Igbo at home. I remember being corrected by my dad to speak more English at home. I added Spanish to my languages when I moved to the USA. I even got one of my bachelor’s degrees in Spanish. I understand the mindset of students and the process that it takes for everyone to learn a foreign language. I also understand that everyone learns differently. I believe that I am perfectly positioned to make a difference as an English teacher in Seoul.

I like to have fun and believe that everyone should have the opportunity to live their best lives. I know that learning English, in addition to knowing another language sets people up for success. I look as languages as a superpower. I am excited to be a small part in someone’s learning journey.

Good day,

As I am applying to your school, I am also learning basic Korean. It would be an honour to be a part of your institution and provide service to students of English.

I am a young professional seeking a career change. I have worked as a freelance architect for 5 years with my Bachelor degree. I have almost completed 2 master degrees, one in Architecture and one in Global Smart City Management. I seek a change now, towards engaging with people more directly and compassionately.

Before this, I did many jobs which I enjoyed, such as waiter, barista, salesman, and deliveryman. I also worked in start-up for a number of different SME companies. I have much experience in service and operations. As my career unfolded, I found many interesting friendships and mentors along the way.

I am compassionate, caring and respectful. I am fun and enthusiastic, and easy to talk with. I am hard working and always calm in all situations. If you hire me as a teacher, you will open the door for me. I will surely repay the favour by opening the door for your students with the skill of the English language!

Thank you for the opportunity. Good luck!

Kind regards,

Mo

I am an enthusiastic, dependable and hardworking individual who is greatly passionate about education as well as making a difference in student's lives. I am very delighted to apply for a teaching position at your institution.

I hold a TEFL certificate, a bachelors degree in environmental studies and a PGCE. I hold one year experience in tutoring undergraduate students at my previous university as well as 6 months classroom experience that I obtained as a part of my PGCE practicals in a local high school. I also hold 5 months experience where I am currently working at a primary school as an educator assistant for the first grade class.

This is the ideal chance for me to continue my professional development because I am passionate about education, am patient, have outstanding organisational abilities, and can easily interact with students.

Hello, my name is Penelope Tooks. I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from Kutztown University. I majored in English with a concentration in Professional Writing and Minors in Literature and Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies. I was the Vice President of our school's literary magazine, a tutor at the writing center, and a student assistant for a professor in the English Department.

I have a deep interest in people and their cultures. I've studied abroad in two separate programs. I went to Ireland for a month last summer. The program helped me learn about Irish history while studying poetry and literature. At the beginning of this year, I went to Italy for three months to complete an internship. I did research on the local historical monuments and museums. Then, I wrote articles for a tourism company.

Much of my experience has revolved around writing, grammar, and literature. I love to study English, and I learned that I love teaching it as well. My tutoring position was one of my most fulfilling experiences. I love guiding people through their learning journey. It would be a dream to get the opportunity to help children, who are at the beginning of the educational path.

I am computer literate and i have have excellent communication skills.

I am British by nationality, I grew up in Hungary and attended the Lycée in Budapest until I moved back to the UK to complete my A Levels. This cross-cultural upbringing has made me open to living and working abroad. My degree at the University of Manchester where I studied Arabic and French consolidated this ambition, when I lived in Amman, Jordan for eight months. Travelling has always featured strongly throughout my life, for example I have travelled solo around South America and worked at a Summer Camp in France.

I speak French, English and Arabic, and enjoy communicating with and learning from each new encounter in my life.

My involvement as an educator began while I was still at school; I did a work placement at a Preparatory School assisting with French and Drama. During my second year at University, I tutored first-year students under the PASS scheme (Peer-Assisted Study Sessions) alongside private tutoring, teaching English to IELTS students from South Korea. I then went on to teach English to Syrian refugees for the Manchester Refugee Rights society. During my year abroad I completed my Level 5 Ofqual TEFL qualification and taught Somali and Sudanese refugees English in Amman. In all of my teaching roles I strove to create an engaging and active atmosphere in the classroom.

I currently work with Global Nomads Group, an NGO facilitating cross-cultural understanding and relationships between youth across the world. Within my role I encourage discussions on global issues between American and Middle Eastern students.

Experience: I grew up in the United Kingdom, so I am fluent in English, and I can also speak basic Thai and Japanese. I completed a 150-hour TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Course, before continuing my studies at University.

Personality: I would describe my personality as versatile, insightful, principled, dependable, and passionate. I have a deep understanding and perception of people's emotions and situations. Whilst utilising integrity and consistency, I have a strong sense of right and wrong. Additionally, I show determination and enthusiasm towards a particular interest, task or pursuit.

Skills: I have a number of years of customer service experience which developed my communication skills, organisational skills, time management and abetted my ability to create interpersonal relationships with colleagues and customers. I am certain these fundamental skills are transferable to any work environment and profession. I regularly look after my 4 year old nephew, engaging and communicating with him that is easily understandable, and assisting in his learning and development.

My experience in an official teaching setting is fairly limited, but I do, and have always considered myself a natural teacher. Over the last five years, I held a career as a wilderness crew leader, primarily focused on teaching young adults a variety of skills for success in the outdoors. I was responsible for up to ten young adults in remote locations, providing their food, safety, and training. This is where I found my love of teaching. The fulfillment of providing someone a unique and rewarding experience is what I believe I am meant to do, and I want to transfer this skill to a global setting. I have recently been volunteering with a company called Asian Human Services, based in Chicago, Illinois. Watching my student grow and improve has been the most rewarding experience of my life, I want to carry that passion to your school.

Greatest strengths: My greatest strength is my ability to adapt to different situations quickly. I thrive in learning how to build a routine and executing it daily. I also think that I am adaptable within team environments. I am able to sense where I would be most helpful and fill in whatever that role may be. I love to learn, as well, and whatever I do not know, I pick up very easily.
