ESL Teachers

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.

To whom it may concern.,

As a 22-year-old, hardworking, and enthusiastic young adult. I aspire to be the change in my immediate environment. I believe myself to be someone who continuously strives to gain knowledge and understanding to support my keen interest in the social and public sector through Psychology and Education.

As a first-year novice teacher, I aspire to utilize my newly
developed knowledge and skills to inspire young minds.
Given the opportunity to educate learners, I
hope to gain experience while building a base of
understanding of the young mind. I strongly believe in the
principle of pursuing every opportunity that comes your
way. I hope to be given the opportunity to utilize my
creativity, organizational skills, and patience to gain
experience within the field of education.

I am currently pursuing my Post Graduate Certificate in
Education through Stellenbosch University. I have
completed my BA Humanities degree through the same
institution.

I have some experience within the education sector, as part
of our Postgraduate program requires us to complete a
two-month practical within a school. I have observed and
taught English Home Language, English First additional,
and Life Orientation lessons.

I have completed a TEFL diploma (Teaching English as a
Foreign Language) with a practical element.
I am a hard-working, young adult who is a fast learner and
enjoys challenges.

I believe that I would be an excellent fit
for this position as I am responsible, organized, creative,
and innovative within all contexts. I succeed at working
independently as much as I enjoy mutually sharing creative
ideas with other team members.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

If you are looking for a teacher who is open to learning/is a quick study, diligent with their work, and has plenty of initiative, then look no further. I have past work experience at a grocery store and at a technology company. Also, I have done volunteer work, which has allowed me to develop skills for this position. I have gained skillful knowledge in researching information to then execute and work as a collaborative group to complete the given task. I am also proficient in meeting deadlines, using different approaches to a problem, and adding creative flares to tasks.

My specialties also include being passionate about the work I do and being able to communicate with others clearly and accurately for either assistance or idea-bouncing.

Please review my attached TEFL resume for a more detailed account of my abilities and skills. Although it will illustrate some achievements and skills, I would like to re-emphasize my proven ability to work in fast-moving environments and my adaptability to possible changes to my work to satisfy myself and/or the customer.

Although I do not have classroom teaching experience, I have been doing the job of a teacher for years. I have an Instagram account where I teach lessons for free. Through my language learning journey, I have made many language partners where I assist them with grammar, definitions, and pronunciation. I can transfer these skills into a professional setting such as a classroom.

I sincerely believe that with the skills I have through previous work, I can make a marvellous contribution to your existing team.

I'm currently in Busan, South Korea and have been working at a POLY institute since February 2021. I want to experience a new work environment with elementary and middle school level. I can quickly obtain a great relationship with my students. I'm eager to work and have great time management so I will always meet deadlines with any duties I must complete.
