ESL Teachers

Through past experience with working as a teacher’s assistance and tutor, it has allowed me to develop communication skills needed to effectively assist and teach middle school and high school students. Additionally, it has allowed me to gain confidence in being able to adapt to all students’ needs and learning levels. It has also allowed me to develop traits that make a teacher efficient with communicating with students and make them more engage in their learning.

Throughout my career, I have had many experiences as a teacher, specifically as a senior trainer at Kings wood camp in Guangzhou and while teaching university exchange students as an assistant language teacher in Sheffield. These experiences have led me to growing my skills as a teacher.

These are some of the skills I can bring to your school

Interactive and Informative lesson – During my time teaching I have been able to create interactive lessons that are both enjoyable and educational for all my students. From these lessons I truly believe that I was able to motive my students, easily obtain there full attention and get them work at their maximum potential, no matter how challenging the lesson was.

Work effectively in a group setting – Throughout my career I have always been able to effectively work in a group setting. From working in a gym or sales environment too working in public and private education settings. Being able to work effectively in a team was essential for my career as I often faced demanding task that required a strong group cohesion.

I am currently at Sheffield University studying East Asian Studies. Spending a lot of time within South Korea and already having taught Korean students I believe I can fit in quickly to your schools environment and apply my skills as a teacher efficiently.

These are just some of the many qualities that I can bring to the table if given the opportunity to work for you. Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely

Lewis O’Brien

I am a very passionate and caring person with an enthusiasm for education. I love learning and I love teaching, particularly languages. I have 6 months of experience teaching as a volunteer English teacher in Hanoi Vietnam. I taught as a volunteer as I wanted to practice teaching and gain some experience. I also taught in many classes and schools of all ages and sizes as a cover teacher. Since then I have taught English online with DaDaABC for over a year.

My main skills in teaching are my patience and clear pronunciation. Students have always found my accent very easy to understand, and my speaking speed is suitable to students of all skill levels. I am very patient with my students, I understand how difficult learning a new language can be, so I encourage practice and repitition, while making my classes as fun as possible for my students.

As a recent graduate of the TEFL Org programme, I have a keen interest in perusing my career in the field of education. After gaining some experience in the educating young children during my university experience, through the Teddy Bear Hospital charity programme, I became enthusiastic to further this interest and use my language skills to educate others.

My time at the Teddy Bear Hospital involved teaching primary school children about their experiences at the doctor and dentist, to ease their fears about their visits. I was able to design lessons to create fun and interactive classes for the children, and as a result the children were captivated and their worries about attending hospital and dentist appointments were lessened. The practical teaching skills that I gained varied from: confidence and proactivity in a classroom setting to classroom control and adapting lessons to fit a particular group of students. Witnessing the children’s progression and curiosity in the class first-hand was the main motivating factor that led me to desire a career in teaching.

Furthermore, during my TEFL course I was able to have the opportunity to practise my teaching skills on several occasions. The course involved planning and teaching PPP structured lessons for grammar and vocabulary and a reading lesson with a skills-based lesson structure. This enabled me to gain the confidence needed when teaching English lessons specifically and improved my skills when designing classes to be interactive and fascinating.

Completing a degree in Graphic and Communication Design at the University of Leeds and working in the field of design, has also been highly beneficial, as it often involved presenting work to a large group of peers. This enabled me to improve my public speaking and presenting skills, as well as allowed me to find ways to intrigue and capture the attention of individuals in a topic that might not always be enticing to them. Working alongside a design team on a daily basis, at Hybream Consultants, with unique and differing individuals, and therefore ideas; I was able to master adapting ideas to suit all members of the group. This advanced my skills in conflict management, problem solving and communication. The creativity I have acquired from these experiences will be valuable in creating a fun and interactive classroom environment for students of all ages.

Thank you for the consideration of my application. I am a native English speaker and have acquired my TEFL certificate, TESOL Certificate and Bachelors's Degree. I am currently an online English teacher with experience in teaching adults and kids at all levels and age groups.

I have always had a passion for interacting and engaging with people and have gained experience in the communications field for 8 years.

I have taught English across the world and my experience has allowed me to adapt well to students of different ages, language levels and nationalities.

My goals are to guide, motivate and inspire students in achieving their individual language goals and to create a dynamic educational experience for all learners.

I am applying to be an International English Teacher in South Korea as I am very passionate about having diverse experience while working with children in educational settings.

My credentials include a bachelor’s degree in education (Early Years) along with a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate. I have experience in working with children as a teacher/early years practitioner for 5 years.

I pride myself to have an excellent teaching practices based on my knowledge and experiences, especially with children and I strive to be creative with the children that may extra help in learning. I am wholly committed to being involved in collective working environments and believe that it takes a group to educate rather than a single person.

I have great technological literacy and can work with any type of computer system or network. My communication skills, both written and verbal, are very good which is needed when dealing with many children.

I am currently teaching at a prestigious kindergarten in Hong Kong and have been doing so for the past 3 years. Prior to this I was working with Oxford International, a company that provides language programmes for international students in the UK. Whilst working with them I was lucky enough to be given different job roles through the years. I started out as an Activity Leader, then became Onsite Activity Coordinator and ultimately was given the role of Programme Coordinator.
Finally, whilst studying at university and before that at high school I have always had private tutoring jobs.

All of this teaching experience has made me into someone who is very understanding and sensitive to students’ needs. It has also allowed me to develop effective communication and lesson planning skills which will ultimately allow students to keep focused and motivated. Above all I feel I have gained an enormous amount of patience and empathy for children.

I pride myself of being described as hard working and reliable by all previous employers as I believe professionalism in the workplace is the key to success. My ultimate goal is to foster an maintain and open, honest , communicative and supportive classroom in which each student feels safe , secure, special an appropriately challenged.

In 2015 I started volunteering at New Season Foundation. This particular foundation is a non-profit organisation aimed at improving the lives of the youth in South Africa. My role at the foundation was to assist my students with their numeracy and literacy skills during an afterschool programme.

I tutored students between grades R to 5. Each day I would plan and present lessons based on the work they were being taught at school. The majority of my students struggled with the English language as they were mainly Afrikaans speaking. My lessons therefore largely revolved around teaching them to understand the language effectively.

I always tried to make my lessons relatable and interesting. At the end of each week I would create a challenge and divide the class into two teams, the winning team would win a prize and at the end of each month I would create a quiz and the student who scored the highest marks wins a prize. Apart from being a tutor, I also played a supportive role in the lives of my students as I ensured that I understood and catered to their individual learning needs.

Being a university student, a volunteer tutor, a paralegal, a legal secretary and a personal assistant proved me to be a fast learner, resilient, and able to adapt to any situation. I am great at interacting with people, I have a great attitude and I have the ability to work well in a team. I am an all-rounder and I'm great at multitasking. I am attentive, meticulous, creative and diligent.

I am certain that I will be a dynamic addition to your team and I look forward to discussing the position with you further.

I have worked with children for 4 years now through employment and volunteer experiences. I currently take on the role as an Early Childhood Educator and work with a range of age groups from Preschool to School Age at a child care centre. Responsibilities include working with staff to create an inclusive environment that caters to the needs of all children and engaging with children in curriculum.

I do not have experience teaching English however, I am currently in the process of completing my TEFL certification and very committed in learning and gaining skills. In addition to that, I am able to communicate and work with children and families, and plan meaningful emergent curriculum. I am also patient, reliable, and able to work as a team

I hope to have the opportunity provide an enriching environment to allow children to learn and develop skills in English. Making a difference in the learning and development of children is very important to me.
