ESL Teachers

I have been a classroom teacher for sixteen years. I teach early childhood, elementary, and middle school students.

I like my students to have fun in my classroom but I also expect proper classroom behavior. I encourage my students with positive feed-back when a task is done well and understanding when they aren’t understand the lesson.

I am adaptable with both what and how I teach. I like being challenged, to a point, in order to keep my job interesting. I am dependable. I will ask for advice when needed.

Good communication and writing skills. Team player and work well as an individual. Share ideas to better my job or tasks. Eager to learn.

I am a licensed Canadian teacher with 7 years of ESL experience. I have a Master's in Education and an Honors Bachelor in English. I have just finished teaching in Japan for six years on the JET program. I enjoy speech coaching. One of my students ranked in the top 20 of Japan's National Junior High Speech Contest (2019). Before that, I worked at a reputable private Kindergarten in Korea. I have also worked as a substitute teacher and a tutor in Canada. I have taught children from ages 4 to 15. I prefer working with elementary school aged children, but kindergarten and older are fine, too.

Throughout my years of teaching experience, I have developed many skills in communication and relationship building. I have taught all age groups in a variety of subjects such as swimming, lifesaving, music, English, English language learning, social studies, and math. Altogether, my experience is well over 1000 hours, with 1 year spent within schools working with kids from grade 1-12 during my university practicums and volunteer work. Continuing to grow and learn, I will continue to act as a student, for I will learn just as much from my students while I teach them. Professional development and confidence are my assets, as well as interpersonal skills and class management. Through my education degree, I have taken courses to develop my experience teaching English language learners. Both online and in person, I taught English language learners and my passion for teaching has grown. Thank you for taking the time to consider me.

I am interested in the English language teaching position abroad in South Korea. I am known to be a reliable hardworking individual that is always happy and positive. My passion for teaching stemmed from volunteering as an associate member for NCS which is a personal and social development programme for 15-17 year-olds in the UK. I had to conduct ice breakers, help design a social action project as well as support students in various physical, educational and social activities. I demonstrated my excellent team working skills, problem-solving skills and I believe I had the ability to motivate and inspire the students. I believe I have had a lot of experience in teaching EFL informally which involved practising conversational English at different levels, correcting English homework as well as helping with preparation for the TOEIC exam.

I have recently graduated from the University of Sheffield with a 2:1 honours in Korean Studies. During my degree I was able to study at Hanyang University and experience living in South Korea. As you can tell from my degree, I have a genuine interest in Korea and its beautiful culture. As I have previously lived in Korea, I know what to expect and would like to learn more about Korea and travel to places I have never explored before. Due to the combination of my desire to teach and my love for Korea, I believe Korea is the best place for me to teach EFL. I believe if given the opportunity to teach EFL in Korea, I can develop and further my career in teaching. The most rewarding thing is to see prospective students progress in the English language.

As I have a large family it means that I interact with a lot of young children very often. I am known by family and friends as getting along well with kids, making up exciting stories, leading fun activities as well as giving good discipline when needed. I have a bright personality, a lot of energy and patience. I hope that I am able to have the opportunity to bring these qualities into a classroom and make learning a fun and educational experience for students.

I have just finished my bachelor degree in Sociology, I have worked in a number of different job sectors that have included working with children. My first job at Build a Bear has shaped who I am as a person, it was a happy job therefore I am a positive person that creates safe and friendly environments. While maintaining an enthusiastic and bubbly persona. Through having experience in different jobs I have development skills such as problem solving and working under pressure.

I have over 3 years ESL teaching experience in China. I have taught multiple levels including Kindergarten students, Elementary students, Middle school students, High school students and even University students. I prefer teaching older students as that I feel that is one of my strengths. I don't like teaching Kindergarten students.

I feel that I'm very independent and resourceful. I'm also good at encouraging students. I'm very passionate and enjoy teaching as I feel that it could make a huge difference.

I have held leadership positions in high school and at Howard University and have experience mentoring students and facilitating lessons and discussions. I am a responsible and hard working person. I put my everything into the things that I commit to and I am very organized. I am also fast learner and I am always open to receiving feedback and advice. As someone with a Bachelor's in Psychology mental health is an issue that I take very seriously so creating a stress free learning environment is something that is very important to me.

I consider myself supportive, friendly, creative, curious and energetic, eager to grow and learn new skills. I tend to be a hands-on and visual learner, so demonstrations when introducing new concepts are very helpful. I have a love for creating and drawing, so I tend to put a few artistic elements into my presentations and demonstrations.

I have also previously volunteered at a few organizations, including Frontier College and the Ralph Thornton Community Centre to teach children from Grades 1-3 online over Zoom. With online reading sites and worksheets supplied to the volunteers, we used the resources given to us while creating our own presentations to demonstrate certain grammatical concepts. I also keep a journal to track my students' progress and help plan for future lessons.

I'm an enthusiastic Early Childhood practitioner with an extensive experience of working with children and young people across all ages up to 18 years old. I have worked in Preschools as well as Primary schools in England and Primary and Secondary schools in Scotland. I'm TEFL certified and have also completed a classroom course. I hold a degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Early Childhood with upper second class honours (2:1 Hons) from British University.
I'm outgoing and enjoy the experience of meeting new people and exploring the variety of culture.
I'll be happy to answer any questions during an interview.
