ESL Teachers

I am currently working at a secondary school (ages 11-16) in the United Kingdom primarily as a Learning Support Assistant. I also teach a couple of students EAL in one-to-one lessons and have covered some small groups in this subject. From these, I have experience planning my own lessons.
From working with lots of students in different situations, I have quickly adapted to learning how each individual students learns best. I believe this is a good skill to have in order to help students get the most out of their education.

I am open minded and happy to be placed any location, being adaptable in nature – I love immersing myself in new culture and meeting people. Being confident in versatile social and professional environments, I enjoy new learning experiences.

My approach to teaching is routed in my drama and theatre background, with a Masters in Playwriting – I have delivered drama workshops in a multitude of settings, including: schools, universities, community centres, and with young people who's first language is not English. I believe drama is a brilliant way to engage learners, and an essential communicative tool.
My teaching style is person centred: I believe that creating a structured, compassionate, and inspiring teaching space, any learner can find their potential to excel. I am comfortable creating visually stimulating classes but know the importance of teaching the core principles of the lesson. I have experience creating lesson plans for large scale classes, with numbers exceeding 70, and one to one. I have taught classes in the UK, Nepal, and Uganda. With a Masters of Letters from University of Glasgow, I have taught classes in schools, colleges, universities, and community settings. I have experience teaching english to people who have recently arrived in the UK, and have worked with Scottish Refugee Council to teach English.

Teaching is thrilling. I enjoy helping learners to make their own discoveries. I am passionate that education is a pathway to empowerment, and I love that I can play a part in transforming someone’s life for the better. I am also fascinated by languages and gain a huge amount of knowledge just by teaching others. I certainly thrive from teaching young people because I find their imaginations to be unlimited.

In my free time, I love trying new food, cooking, and meeting new people where I might learn something new. I am a huge fan of the outdoors, as a runner, cyclist, and climber. I really love exploring new countries.

Organised, good communicator, creative, work well as an individual and also in a team.

I have over 3 years teaching experiences. I started my teaching journey in 2019 working for SMARTPREP which is a private tutoring company . On the other hand, my online ESL teaching began in 2021. Both of these teaching have taught me good communication skills, adaptability, patience and a good listener. I have such a bubbly personality which makes me to be approachable, and it's to build a rapport with my students. Also, makes students to engage with me freely which is an important part of learning. My skills includes good communications and listening skills. Moreover, I am a patient and confident person.

I am a people person who loves the idea of experiencing somthing new, someone ready to take on challenges and conquer them. I am good at team working through past jobs as well as single work and leading. I have had to work under pressure and consider time limits when at work. I have a clear voice and a joy to learn.

This past year, I have been working as an ESL teacher in Thailand, as well as an online English tutor for students around the world. I taught English, Mathematics, Science, Health, Computer, and Social Studies to grades 3, 4, 5, and 6. I am an extroverted and optimistic individual who seeks adventure and challenges. As a natural-born leader, I am highly skilled at communicating with others and solving any problems that come my way. Helping others is my highest priority, and it brings me joy to use my talents and skills for the greater good of my community.

My communication skills and understanding for the emotional world of children, especially at elementary level, is my greatest strengths as a teacher. I do not find it hard to gain trust of the students, because I understand how they feel in different situations and can choose the right words in my lessons.
Student interact with me very well because focus more on many the lesson fun and interactive rather than strict with a lot of focus.

I am not in the field of education but I have a little bit of experience. I volunteered at my church as a Sunday school teacher for three years and I also informally tutored psychology students in the same year as myself when they needed assistance. My experience as a waitress may not seem to fit in but I believe that it has helped me with communication skills. Meeting and speaking with people of different ages, races and cultures. I am a patient, punctual, committed and fun loving individual. I believe that all the aforementioned qualities are great to have as a teacher.

Dear Gloii Job Consulting Recruitment Team,

My name is Paul Russell, and I am a TEFL/TESOL certified English language teacher. The vacancy at English Education Services LTD was brought to my attention on the TEFL Org website and the teaching placement opportunity Gloii is offering immediately stood out amongst the other vacancies. Key factors included the location of the institution since South Korea is a beautiful destination I have always longed to visit. Another is the age range of the students since I have experience working with children aged between five and twelve in a sports coaching role. I relish the opportunity to be immersed in a new culture and to thrive in a fresh environment that is vastly different to my own. Spreading my own knowledge and culture through the art of English language teaching, using a blend of my own teaching techniques with techniques that are proven, tried and tested.

I hold a BSc (Hons) degree and a TEFL/TESOL 120-Hour Premier Course Certificate. I am close to attaining my TEFL/TESOL 40-Hour Exam Preparation Course Certificate whilst presently working as an online English tutor. However, I have reached a stage where I want to break free from the confines of online teaching to teach English language in a new environment, using my academic skills and work experience to maximum effect in a classroom setting.

Now, I aim to combine transferrable skills from my youth sports coaching role with recent qualifications and experience acquired as a TEFL certified teacher. I believe my invaluable knowledge of coaching children aged between five and twelve years old has equipped me with the ability and understanding to lead and teach groups of a varied age range and ability.

However, I yearn for a fresh challenge that can provide room for academic growth and career progression whilst embarking on a once in a lifetime adventure. I have been searching for an organization/school that holds principles that are consistent to my own, demonstrating strong passion and a high level of teaching professionalism. Upon researching the education system of South Korea, I was extremely impressed and reassured that any school I would be placed at would be a top-level teaching establishment that I not only want, but very much need to be a part of.

I a very confident, outgoing individual, with excellent intrapersonal skills. I believe I am the right person to be filling the placement vacancy, especially considering how much I enjoy working with young learners. If we share the same view, I very much look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Sincerely,

Paul Russell

I don't have any experience in teaching but I worked in an exercise clinic for a year and a half in Vancouver that gave me plenty experience in leading a groups of individuals and educating them in health. In this position I was responsible for leading online classes, taking a group of 4-8 through an exercise programme, guiding them in how to perform exercises correctly and answering any questions they had in relation to those exercises or just to their general health and fitness. I also supervised sessions within the clinic and acted as a support system and educator to the members we had, making sure they were performing exercises safely and correctly and also being a motivator for them to help them through their exercise routine. This position provided me with so much responsibility and allowed me to become more confident in teaching exercises and helping my members progress and adapt a healthier way of life.
My personality is very upbeat and happy, I can be shy in the beginning but very quickly come out of my shell when I am comfortable with my surroundings. I am very active and enjoy the gym and outdoor activities, I love cooking and trying new things and I love visiting new places.
In terms of my skills, I would say I have strong organizational skills, I am a good team player and work well with others, I have a good work ethic and always make sure I am prepared for my day at work.
Currently completing my TEFL course.
