ESL Teachers

I am a native English speaking person, with a Honours degree and a South African citizen. I completed my TEFL Course in September 2021.
I am motivated and excited to pursue my dream in inspiring and teaching a class of individuals. I currently work with individuals and I lending a helping hand to those in need and assist people in reaching their individual goals. I look forward to creating exciting, engaging and enjoyable lessons to motivate my students and help them to learn effectively. I pride myself on managing my time effectively and efficiently and always aim to complete a task and teach students to the best of my ability.

I am motivated and excited to pursue my dream in inspiring and teaching a class of individuals. Working with individuals currently and lending a helping hand to those in need and assisting people in reaching their individual goals has always been a passion and dream of mine. I look forward to creating exciting, engaging and enjoyable lessons to motivate my students and help them to learn effectively. I pride myself on managing my time effectively and efficiently and would always aim to complete a task and teach students with the utmost precision and to the best of my ability.

I am a TEFL certified recent English graduate from Nottingham Trent University with a demonstrated history of experience in childcare and education. Skilled in student mentoring, and working towards proficiency in Korean and German, I aspire to be an ESL teacher and believe my experience learning a second language myself will prove useful in teaching students.

My previous experience includes babysitting children (age 5-12), volunteer teaching in pre-schools (0-5 years) and a special education school (5-18 years). Throughout school and college I also tutored younger students (age 11-12) in English. I am currently working as a host at the National Sea Life Centre, a position that involves educating children and adults about sea creatures and the animals in the aquarium.

My experience mentoring/ teaching students of different ages groups and abilities has allowed me to develop key skills such as patience, creativity and an energetic attitude.

My strengths are that I am very studious. I do not teach a topic that I do not fully understand. I have no experience teaching English as the pandemic stopped me applying for any positions. I do have experience in teaching yoga and exercise. I may teach a small class or a large class and I have to be effective at communicating which is important as participants could injure themselves. I am also an Event Technician which involves setting up festivals and corporate evetns. Deadlines must be met and insrtuctions concise as again people could injure themselves and waste valuable time.This is particulary important as sometimes an event is just about to start.

I believe that my personality is easy going in nature and I am always curious. When conducting an exercise class I only want the participants to have fun and to learn at the same time. I am puntual take my jobs seriously. If need be I am fun, fair and firm depending on the needs of the class.

I have always liked working with younger students. I have volunteered at church teaching the elementary school students ever since I was in grade 12. I've also spent many years tutoring elementary school students and adult learners for many years.

From my experience, I've learned to be very patient and to be an active listener.

I am an enthusiastic, self-driven, and professional individual with a likeable and friendly personality as well as a can-do attitude. I am a graduate from the University of Leeds receiving a 2:1 in English Literature, a degree that helped develop skills in both written and verbal communication, critical thinking and independent decision making, time management and self-organisation.

Following my graduation, I also completed a 140 hour TEFL course, receiving excellent feedback from my personal tutor (a reference letter is available upon request).

In addition to this, I also spent 6 months in a teaching assistant position within a year 4 class (age 8/9). Within this position I worked with students one-to-one, in smaller groups of 2-8, and within the general classroom. This role boosted my confidence and knowledge in working with children and my teaching skills and ability was improved through hand on experience. In addition to this my employers provided a lot of support and advice which further assisted in the development of my skills. A specific responsibility of mine within this role were the intervention groups (groups of 4-8 children) which I independently taught daily for english, grammar, and handwriting.

Currently, I am working on a temporary basis as a cover teaching assistant in a year 3 class (ages 7/8). Many of my responsibilities are similar to my previous job position, however working in a different school and with a different age of children has further boosted my experience and confidence in the classroom. I am still teaching smaller groups of children grammar, english, and maths independently, and in addition to this I also have been teaching one-to-one phonics to some of the children.

I have also volunteered with a local youth theatre company working with children ages 4-12, assisting a small team run three weekly sessions. This has given me experience in working with a wider range of children, and also combined my love of drama and the arts with my love of teaching.

As someone who is passionate both about education and learning, I will be able to pass that passion on to my future students for both the language of English, and for education as a whole. After graduating with honors from TWU with a Bachelor's in Science for History, I have shown my dedication and perseverance in not only getting a job done right, but a job done on time and a readiness to learn from any bumps along the way. Being also a member of the National Society of Leadership, I have shown that I am a natural leader that can grab the attention of my class and lead them forward in a concise, understandable manner. Along with this, I held a managerial position at one of my first jobs the moment I graduated; acting as a mentor to new workers and bringing in an air of enthusiasm for my work force as well as an aura of perfectionism I would expect of a well organized team. Shortly after this, I went to be a payroll agent at an accounting firm and quickly rose ranks to educate my fellow employees on proper server maintenance, computer based procedures, and how to handle a section of our 50+ clients. I work adamantly and efficiently to have a good job done, but more than that, I strive to build with my team/class a friendly environment where mistakes aren't discouraged, seeing these stumbles as a stepping stone to a more solidified end product.

I am a patient, determined, and adaptable individual from Coleraine, a small town in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. I am a bilingual native English speaker with an extensive background in art, computers, and literature. I have always had a passion for travel and adventure, which was further reinforced during my university years.
I have lived more than three years in Asia, between Thailand and Korea. I have also traveled to and visited many other countries during this time. I have developed a deep appreciation for other cultures and find I feel most comfortable when immersed in another countries traditions.
I have previous experience teaching in the Republic of Korea. I taught students between the ages of seven and sixteen years old. I helped guide and educate students onto their future paths and found it to be a truly rewarding experience. Helping students overcome their adversities and find confidence in themselves taught me a lot about teaching. I gained invaluable experiences in teaching children and teenagers, and I discovered subtle methods of engaging each age group.
During my tenure in Korea, the Covid-19 pandemic struck the world. During this time, we were able to continue educating our students by carefully planning and following social distancing guidelines along with efficient use of personal protection equipment (PPE). I believe the skills I developed during this time were invaluable and are still of use today as variants of Covid continue to persist. I have also been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine. I am confident in my ability to work safely and diligently under Covid safety restrictions.
I have completed my 120 hours TEFL course and an advanced 30 hour course for Teaching Young Learners.

Hi there,

My partner and I are looking for teaching positions in South Korea for as soon as possible in a public school!

We are both native English speakers from Oxford, UK, qualified with teaching experience.

We have recently been offered a job in BangBae but this was for a Hagwon and we really are only interested in working for a public school in South Korea.

We both have degrees, I qualified in English Literature, studying modules such as Children's Literature and gained a 2:1. We also both have 120 hour TEFL qualifications, our DBS and all of these documents are notarised and apostilled- ready to go.

We also have teaching experience, mine being teaching children ,primary and secondary, in person and online for a number of years. Coaching students from GCSE level, through to A Level and even assisting in the editing of dissertations for university students. As such, I grew in confidence and skill through working with such a variety of ages and abilities.

I am an extremely articulate, energetic and bubbly individual who is very driven and compassionate. Having lived in New York for a while too, I am used to living abroad and assimilating into foreign cultures and very much enjoy immersing myself in unfamiliar environments.

I will attach my CV so that you can have a look.
I very much look forward to hearing back from you.

Kind regards,
Saffron Seddon

I have experience teaching students from the age of 8 to 18 years old. I have taught a range of subjects from engineering to history, as I previously worked for a British University. I have visited schools and colleges across the UK to teach them the benefits of higher education, alongside delivering subject taster sessions. I am highly motivated by ensuring that the students I teach progress and develop their skills. I am passionate about teaching and my passion for education shows when I am in a classroom. I also have experience working for a college working with students aged 16-18 teaching the benefits of work based learning.
