ESL Teachers

I have 16+ years of experience in education, working in: primary, secondary, college, and in the community. I have both Governorship and Directorship experience and excellent leadership and management skills. I enjoy working with all age groups and abilities, having worked in SEND and alternative provision as well as main stream education. I love art, music, poetry and drama which I use in activities within my lessons – I would love to experience Japanese culture, learn about traditions and Japanese history and I use a communicative, learner centred approach and through every day conversations my learners gain a good understanding of the use of English language in everyday life. I am friendly, professional and very approachable, I build excellent rapport with all my learners, their parents/carers and I have excellent team skills.

Confident and enthusiastic individual bringing several years of
experience guiding, mentoring and developing individuals of all
ages. Eager to succeed through a love of hard work, attention to
detail and excellent organizational skills. Well-developed communication and problem-solving abilities with eye for detail and highly creative coaching style. Motivated to learn, grow and excel in the ESL teaching industry.

My primary passion in life is travelling; I love meeting new people, learning new languages, discovering new cultures, and simply being in new environments. In 2018 I spent one year living in the United States (CA), where I adapted and adjusted to the local lifestyle – as well as having a lot of experience travelling through central America and Europe. Furthermore, I have keen interests in health and wellbeing, physical fitness and the outdoors in general. I’m also incredibly hungry to learn new skills to feed my ongoing love of self-improvement.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my application. Enclosed in my teaching application you will find my curriculum vitae; however, I would briefly like to address the strong abilities that make me a desirable candidate for interview.

Firstly, I have a strong aptitude to working as a team, and as you will see from my highly unique resume, I am extremely adaptable to different environments and team dynamics. Secondly, I am a keen learner; as an assertive individual, I am always looking at how to better my own knowledge and how best to integrate this into the classroom. Thirdly, I have vast understanding of linguistics in not only English but in modern foreign languages as well. Lastly, I am a highly creative individual who is not afraid to shy away from adventurous and exploratory lesson planning.

Within the classroom I practice firmness but fairness in my discipline, whilst maintaining a communal sense of compassion, as every child deserves to succeed. I have had a broad experience in the age groups I have taught and the requirements of those pupils; I believe this has made me a flexible and highly adaptable individual. Most importantly I hope you will acknowledge the kindness and ethics that I value within my application.

I truly believe that I have the potential to grow not only as a teacher but as a person through this experience. I wish you luck in finding the most suitable candidate for the job.

I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Suzannah Dubowski

I am interested in a career as an English teacher as I am passionate about working with young people and working abroad. Its also a great way of using my experience with organising activities for young people to form a more permanent career path than the poor salary for non permanent jobs provided by the outdoor industry. I have ambitions to work and experience cultures and languages in many different countries all around the world. I have many years experience of working with children in loads of different locations including Madagascar, spain, france, greece, the UAE and the UK. My personality is enthusiastic bright and fun loving and my skills include experience and knowledge of games/challenges to keep young children occupied and having fun.

I have never been one to sit back and take life as it comes, I have always been a very driven person with a complete and utter love for life but more specifically the love of the life you can create for yourself. Throughout my life I have always been very driven, self-motivated and passionate in all aspects of life itself and all aspects of which I have encountered. I have a very giving heart through which I felt the need to give back to the community and have done so, spending two incredibly outstanding years of my life educating, mentoring and coaching individuals in an NPO.I have very strong communication, organization and leadership skills which I pride myself in and such said skills have helped me develop myself both personally and within the industry itself. I feel that the work I have done speaks for itself, as I envelop myself entirely in what I do regardless of the job specified. My love for life, passion and drive has pushed me beyond my own expectations and has taken me to new heights where I now face the new opportunities and challenges, ones which I intend on conquering to the best of my ability and those challenges that I will face in the near future.

I have a BSc in Food Sciences, currently working in the sports nutrition industry and I'm considering a career change into education.
I would describe myself as attentive, curious and a foodie! I enjoy interacting with and learning from different kinds of people.

Without wishing to repeat what is already included in my resume, I do want to acknowledge that beyond the few months I worked as a dissertation tutor, I have no experience teaching English – certainly not as a foreign language in a classroom setting.

But not mentioned in my resume is that throughout my time at university I worked as a carer. I cared for a man with severe learning difficulties and a visual impairment. My official title was as a 'Personal Assistant' – but my responsibilities spread further than this might suggest, to acting as his councillor, his nurse, etc. I've had absolute responsibility for his physical care, for his finances, diet, and calendar.

I think this might be relevant to mention when applying for TEFL jobs – especially if that job turns out to be with young learners. Because I have valuable experience managing the quality of life of a vulnerable, impressionable person – in helping them to engage effectively and safely with the world around them. And I know the value of patient guidance.

To put it simply, I would like to become a teacher because I enjoy helping people. And TEFL fits perfectly with this time in my life, when I wish to broaden my horizons. South Korea has a particular pull. I have for years watched Running Man, and from that show developed a real curiosity for the Korean language, the country’s history, and its people – some of whom I met at university and have developed good friendships with.

I have a strong preference for Seoul, not simply because it’s a capital, but because that is where these friends live and work. Choosing to teach abroad is obviously quite an uprooting, and while I am very keen on adventure and new beginnings, I would appreciate the opportunity to work in a place where I have some kind of support base – however small. I think that could prove invaluable.

Thank you in advance for any consideration you might give my application. I sincerely appreciate your time.

I have three years tutoring experience and one year full time experience in class. I started tutoring in 2018 when was doing my second year in university. i have ben tutoring students from primary school to high school.

I am a goal oriented person and I dedicate myself t anything that I do. I have patience and I do not give up easily.

I have good communication skills and I also innovative. I also have good Microsoft skills.

I am a calm, easy going , dedicated, hardworking and adaptable individual with many years of experience in various professional jobs. I have a mastery of the English language and enjoy teaching on a range of topics, as I have had to do in a few of my previous roles. My top three strengths are self-motivated, adaptability and mediation . My personality has been described by previous employers and colleagues as friendly, approachable, dedicated and quick to help. I am also great under pressure and do not waiver under difficult circumstances.

To whom it may concern:

My name is Annette Lee. I have been in Dongtan, Korea for about a year now and would like to continue teaching in Korea, but this time in Seoul.

In my current position as a full-time English teacher at a private academy, I have had the privilege of teaching about 90-100 students per semester. My students range from the kindergarten level to elementary school grade six. Each day, I teach my students a mix of grammar, writing, speaking, and reading in the context of an all-English only curriculum. Due to current COVID-19 regulations, I have experience teaching in-person classes, Zoom classes, and a hybrid class style setting.

Not only do I have experience teaching English in Korea already, but I have had a diverse array of jobs back in the States. I have worked as a clinical manager, medical scribe, and a Disney server. As such, I have experience working with people from different cultures and backgrounds, as well as honing my communication and team skills.

I believe that I will be a good fit for any school/academy because I have the experiences necessary to be successful with my students, but also become I am a Korean American at heart. I have truly enjoyed getting to know more of my Korean heritage while here. And thus, this lets me connect with my students and co-teacher in an amiable and genuine manner.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to apply to your program. I look forward to
hearing from you!

Kind regards,
Annette Lee
