ESL Teachers

I am in the process of completing my TEFL course which I'm really enjoying. I completed the 2-day classroom session and got some great feedback from the tutor. During the classroom session I demonstrated excellent eliciting skills and provided students with clear spoken and written models of the target language. When asked to apply the key techniques for teaching English as a foreign language I used visual aids effectively to teach new vocabulary, modelled and drilled pronunciation and made good use of checking questions. I was able to use a variety of interactive and kinaesthetic practice activities for students to participate in, and high student talking time was encouraged during pair work activities. The tutor gave feedback that I demonstrated the necessary skills to be a successful and effective English language teacher.
As I am new to teaching English, I have little experience. However, through my current employment as a Health Care Trainer I have ample experience in delivering group interventions, where I support people who are living with chronic pain. I can confidently manage group interactions, provide information in a clear and concise manner and engage the group well, promoting interaction and learning. I have lots of patience and understand that people learn at different speeds and in different ways. I feel that the skills I have from my current role are transferable to teaching English in a classroom setting and on a 1:1 basis.
In terms of personal qualities my main strengths are communication, honesty and self-motivation. I would describe myself as a caring, compassionate and open-minded individual, with a positive and optimistic attitude. Other people have described me as friendly and approachable and a good listener, and I believe it is these qualities that allow me to develop trusting and supportive relationships with others.
I look forward to taking on new challenges and feel that this would be a great opportunity to use my newly learnt skills in a highly rewarding environment. I can offer dedication, integrity, and the enthusiasm to become an excellent teacher. I look forward to having the opportunity to discuss my skills further.

I am an enthusiastic person with an optimistic view on life. I communicate quite effectively in both writing and orally, I have a strong affinity for planning and organizing effectively.
I dont have any teaching experience at the moment.

I have a variety of experience of working with people in health, research and education settings. My education gave me a great platform to shape my career path in a number of ways and I originally chose the health sector. However, my most recent post was spent working in schools and education settings delivering workshops and group work primarily. This experience was enthralling and has led me to seek employment relating to being a full-time educator. My passion for helping people and my experience of working with young people between the ages of 5 and 18 is the reason I am applying. In addition to to this, I am passionate about english language, reading and would love to experience a new culture whilst educating young people about the english language, and perhaps some supplementary work around mental health/wellbeing. My skills are largely based around my ability to form relationships with a diverse range of people. But, I have competencies in presenting, writing, data analysis, teaching (to both small and large audiences), to name a few. In addition to this I am enthusiastic, hard working, kind and caring.

I am a passionate and dedicated ESL teacher who is focused on providing an innovative, fun, and inspiring classroom. I have a track record of encouraging students to master English while also nurturing their love of the language. I'm also committed to finding new methods to get better results and improve my learner's progress. I have over 3 years of experience working with students from elementary through college and understand the unique needs of students and how important it is to create an environment that is both nurturing and challenging for them.

In my previous role as an ESL Teacher, I worked with elementary, middle school and high school students who were at different levels of English proficiency. I have created lesson plans and found better new methods to help these students improve their language development and also on their cultural development. I have often worked one-to-one with these students to create a program that is both personalized and fun.

I am confident that my experience working with students of all ages and creating an engaging and personalized learning environment will make me an asset to your center. I would welcome the opportunity of an interview to discuss my experience and what I can contribute to your center.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon

My name is Chris and I am a TEFL- qualified, native English teacher from the United Kingdom.

I have a great deal of experience teaching students of all levels, teaching both ESL and English Literature (IB level). I have over three years of teaching experience; I have assisted thousands of students over this time, preparing them for exams, holidays, new jobs, or just increased interaction with English speakers.

I am a friendly, outgoing, and patient teacher who has plenty to offer any ESL company. Having spent the past few years teaching online, I feel it is now finally the time to transfer my skills to the classroom.

I am CAPS and DeCAPS compliant. I work with Deaf children and colleagues. I am able to conduct full lessons in strictly South African Sign Language. I work very well in a group and I am hard working and a team player

I am an enthusiastic, hard-working individual, who is aspiring to gain more experience teaching young people. I am passionate about this due to my previous experiences in the past years. One of which was being able to watch a student that I tutored in art exam prep, pass her exam and move into higher education.

During my work experience in a busy MP’s Office (June-September 2015), I had to learn how to make effective decisions that would result in taking the MP's needs and priorities into account. For example, a constituent struggling with an urgent benefits application would be prioritised over an email response from the MP in regards to the council cutting grass more frequently. The role as a caseworker was ever-changing and it allowed for me to be able to recognise when to prioritise certain tasks for the MP.I also had to encourage other staff members to apply their own judgement and recognise when certain cases should take priority. I had to constantly think of what issues would be in the best interest of the MP.
Another example, is that I would have to identify a range of relevant and credible information sources when responding to constituents emails or when carrying out research as requested by the MP.
Additionally, in my role as a legal analyst I would have to collect new data from internal and external sources in regards to new legislation when working with Factor Law (January- June 2020). On the basis of my analysis decide whether to approve documentation for onward transmission to the client (GoldmanSachs or to escalate my concerns to legal partners Allen and Overy. In all my postgraduation work I have shown an ability to make effective decisions often in a pressurised environment.

Effective communication was at the heart of my client support role (Covid Vaccine rollout) at the NHS (April- November 2021). In this role I communicated directly with people ensuring that they met the criteria for Vaccine appointment allocation. These individual communications around aspects of a person’s health required sensitivity, diplomacy and absolute clarity. I also deployed my leadership skills in interacting with NHS colleagues to ensure consistency of approach and quality service to clients. I would also lead on reporting upwards were I observed inconsistencies and anomalies.
I also communicated effectively orally and in writing in my role as Legal Analyst at Factor Law (Jan-June 2020) dealing with legal contracts. I would often speak to clients from all over the world from different cultural and linguistic cultural backgrounds were communication was challenging but were absolute clarity was essential. This role also required leadership skills in that I regularly briefed the team and senior managers around areas were the approach to the work or the service to the client could be improved.
Most of my work at Factor was done through digital channels so it was critical to make sure my communication was clear and accurate for the foreign clients.

I demonstrated the managing a quality service competency when I worked as a Legal Analyst Factor Law (January-June 2020.) In this role, there was no scope for ambiguity and it was my responsibility to ensure accuracy and consistency in the documentation I reviewed on behalf of the client.
For example, if I realised that a contract had defective language or identified unattended omissions it was my role to alert the client and have the documentation amended. This was a vital and high quality service which ultimately protected the client from potential risks.
I would also participate actively in morning meetings with other members of my team and we would discuss amended legislation, objectives and best practice. We would also establish what our targets were and how we would reach them. We would discuss errors that we had come across and how we would tackle them in the future if they arise. This teamwork ensured a high quality service and ongoing improvement in delivering for the client.
As a Legal Analyst (January-June 2020) I worked on legal projects for large Global clients, in the areas Financial Regulations, Corporate Restructuring and Commercial regulation. Throughout this role I have been dealing with various contract types from complex financial services documents to high value commercial contracts to conduct high volume contract review, data extraction and analysis as well as some drafting, negotiation and counter party out reach. As a result, I have developed my ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously and I have improved my attention to detail to provide an excellent run rate with a focus on quality.

When working in a busy constituency office in June- September 2015 I often had to complete tasks under strict time restriction for the MP. I also had to send out letters and emails articulated at a high-level and at a fast-pace on behalf of the MP.

I ensured that I reached out to the clients and made them aware of the deadlines and chased them up if they weren’t responding at pace.
I also had to take responsibility of my own personal workload and ensure I got through my assigned contracts with added amendments done on time.

As a Legal Analyst (January-June 2020) I worked on legal projects for large Global clients, in the areas of Financial Regulations, Corporate Restructuring and Commercial regulation. Throughout this role I dealt with a range of contract documentation including complex financial services data and high value commercial transactions. I undertook high volume contract review, data extraction and analysis were there was considerable pressure to complete against fixed deadlines (legal cut off dates including Brexit). As a result, I have developed my ability to handle multiple complex tasks simultaneously and at pace while ensuring no diminution in accuracy or service quality.

Even though I don't have teaching experience, I have been working with children part-time for the past 3 years. I am confident that my love for children as well as my flexible and cheerful personality will make students' English learning enjoyable and meaningful.
