ESL Teachers

My name is Amy Lake. I am a native English speaker originally from the United Kingdom. I have a bachelors degree in Law and specialised in the debating team. I am now currently living in Milan as I moved to teach english here.

I have obtained a 120 hour TEFL certification, as well as training and certifications in:

1. The Safeguarding of children,
2. Health and safety,
3. Infection prevention control (especially important for covid),
4. Food hygiene
5. Fire Safety.

I have an endless passion for teaching and learning. My experiences teaching a variety of ages from a mere 3 years old to 18 year olds. I have worked for elementary schools here in Milan both in class and online, which I have several reference letters for.

I now strive to teach english in Korea as it is forever advancing in the educational system. Being proclaimed as one of, if not the best, country for education, i wish to bring all my exciting ideas to Korea to help it progress even further.

In regards to teaching style, i encourage the preference of interaction and more speaking, especially with younger ages. Although it is while to learn and advise on new grammar, at young ages the aiding skills towards learning a new language are speaking and listening.

I also believe certain systems are important in a classroom in order to gain trust and co-operation with the students, such as a rewards system and rules. The creation of these rules and idea's of rewards are best made as a team, i.e the teacher and the student's, in order to show a mutual agreement and also build trust and a relationship.

Teaching is an amazing way for someone to express their passion for a subject to other individuals and help engage them in the joys of learning. I love teaching as it gives me the opportunity to encourage and engage students to learn my own language, whilst also supporting them to be the best they can, as they are after all, the future generation.

I have my Bachelor's degree from the University of Oklahoma and a 120 hour TEFL/TESOL certification from the TEFL Organization. I am currently teaching English as a foreign language online so I do have teaching experience (this is a freelance position which I will end if I begin teaching in-person). Currently I teach children and adults as well as students of all ages. Aside from that, I have experience tutoring students in an array of topics. I have found that approaching my lessons with proper preparation and patience is the best way to get through to students.

I am motivated by a passion for education and a love for teaching. I understand that students often learn at different paces and I am comfortable working with pupils of different skill levels. Whether it is online or in-person, I feel that I am able to connect with my students and ensure that they are retaining as much information as possible.

I am a native English speaker. I have a Bachelors Degree in Social Science and a TEFL certificate. I have experience in working with kids from volunteering at schools. I am a hardworking and deadline driven individual. I can adapt easily to changes and I would be able to stay for the entire length of the contract. I am friendly and honest. I am good with computers and I am a creative person. I enjoy sketching and reading in my free time.

I graduated from University in 2018 with a BA in History. I knew I wanted to do a Masters degree, so I completed a TEFL Certificate in order to go teaching abroad to save money for my degree.

I went to Russia for a year, quickly learning how to teach and picking up skills. I was observed in classes and received feedback on my lessons, which led to my improvement.

Although I was asked to stay in Russia and carry on teaching, I left to do my Masters degree, as I knew it would be the last opportunity I had to do it.

I've now completed my Masters degree and wish to get back into teaching, as it's the most rewarding thing I've ever done. I enjoy the job, getting to know the students and experiencing life in a different culture.

I think I'm a reasonably competent teacher, as my former school will attest and can provide a reference. However, no-one is perfect and my teaching style and confidence will certainly improve as I gain more experience. I'm always looking to grow and learn new things.

Born into a family of educators, teaching is in my blood. I am a native English-speaker and a South African citizen. I currently hold a Masters Degree and received my 168-hour Level 5 TEFL Certificate from The TEFL Academy (with 20-hour classroom teaching practice) in 2020. I have three years teaching experience at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology and in my private time enjoy tutoring my nieces and the children in my neighbourhood. In 2019, I worked for the international award winning five star airline Qatar Airways, where I’ve gained extensive international travel experience and worked with people from all cultures and continents. I can therefore easily adapt to new environments. I have a vibrant personality and describe myself as a hard-working, professional and responsible individual. In my free time I enjoy the outdoors, travelling and meeting new people.

I have a degree in English and much experience in writing and editing, therefore have a very good understanding and command of English usage, grammar, idioms etc. I am a friendly and patient person and I like children, I am a mother and have raised two sons of my own who are both now at university. I also enjoy music and singing and would be happy to incorporate these into my lessons, where appropriate.

My name is Atilay Elmas and I am a Canadian citizen living in Canada. I have a bachelor’s degree in English Literature from Concordia University and a TEFL certificate of 150 hours. I’m really interested in the opportunity of starting my teaching career in South Korea.

I am an energetic, hard worker, fast learner, and enthusiastic person who looks forward to always improving himself. Although, I have no teaching experience, I strongly believe that I would be an undoubtable asset to your team.

I am dedicated and passionate about the students' I interact with.I get to know students' strengths and weaknesses ,which gives me the opportunity to get to understand them and their backgrounds.I had recently been in a situation ,where a grade 8 student ,had asked me a question on the meaning of ''What is an educator?'',which to my surprise ,they should have known the meaning of it.However ,this did not stop me from explaining the meaning ,as well as ,providing an example.

I have gained tremendous amount of knowledge and guidance from my mentors ,which has paved a platform for me to project and to interpret my methods of teaching to students' ,to simplify and make lessons a memorable one,where each student ,takes away a new piece of information every time.

I have used my experience, to explain, various topics which I interpret in my own way and hope to relate to each student .This opportunity has allowed me ,to simplify essay writing ,by explaining the ''Introduction,body and conclusion'' ,allowing me to also explain how and when to implement the use of a''paragraph''

My time spent at the Primary and High School till current ,has allowed me the opportunity ,to dive into new challenges and to understand different teaching methods from observation.I have projected excellent assistance through exam invigilation, as well as ,class assistance to my mentors.

Through my experiences sitting in on lessons,I have delivered comprehension lessons ,asking each student, to read aloud, which created a platform for students, to practice their speaking and reading skills.This allowed to students' to shy away from fear and nervousness as well.I found that students' were eager to read ,answer the questions ,as well as ,ask questions .

I project a very pleasant and approachable persona ,to both my mentors and to the student's.I found that students' interacted well in class discussions ,which mean't a lot to me ,as I feel that most times students' are afraid to speak up in class ,due to fear or being nervous.This creates a calm environment ,as I always want students' to be calm and comfortable in the classroom.

Whenever I am given the opportunity, to assist in class lessons or to sit in on lessons,I always encourage students' to aim for better ,than they did the day before.I encourage, each individual to be enthusiastic and passionate about each subject, regardless of whether they like or dislike it.For example,I found that minority of students' always sighed when they heard the subject ''Math'' ,I encouraged each student, to work from day one of the subject ,to focus and to dedicate some time to practice ,as it starts in the classroom to pave their desired futures.

I aim to guide students' in the right direction ,and make them aware ,that school is a wonderful place to be ,it has a lot of opportunities ,that can easily be passed up ,if not grabbed with both hands.I believe communication and organisation is extremely important ,I always maintain a friendly atmosphere for students' ,so that they understand ,that I am there, to lead them in the right direction and I am not their enemy ,as most students' do think .I was once in high school ,and I can relate so much to the students' ,that it has become a passion, to steer them into the right path to a bright future.

Dear Sir/Madam,

It is with great pleasure that I am applying for teaching positions within your company. Ever since I finished my degree I knew that I needed some time away from education and to focus on finding my career path, and honestly I am excited. I feel as if I will find this within teaching.

As you can see from my CV, I do not currently have any experience teaching English. However I have held previous classes, and catch up sessions throughout university with struggling students in the years below me, in which I had some very valuable teaching and social experiences.

I have always been good with people, mainly children, as I have grown in up a large household and am the oldest of all my siblings and cousins. Having a large family has meant I am able to be very personable and easy to talk to. I feel that my hand in helping my family raise the younger children in the family will be a great asset to helping me throughout my teaching journey.

In addition to this I have a 120+ hour TEFL online course. This course covers, gramma, teaching methodology, teaching online, young learners, teaching large classes, and a telephone teaching course. To further educate myself in ESL teaching, I am currently completing two add on TEFL courses, Teaching Young Learners 30hrs, and Teaching English Online 40hrs. I am also set to start 12weeks of evening classes online in Korean Language.

Finally I would like to say that I have researched your company, and have seen excellent reports about your recruitment services, schools and overall support throughout the process. I would love to be a part of your team.

I appreciate your time and consideration, and look forward to speaking with you soon.

I love children and have a passion for sharing knowledge and empowering others, teaching is a convergence of the two things I love the most. I believe education is one of the best ways in which you can change someone's life, engaging with students for me has meant not only imparting knowledge but making them feel valuable. I am patient, compassionate and kind. I have, whilst holding a full time job, volunteered my time and resources to empower young learners with English and Life Orientation skills who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. It has been a tremendous pleasure to watch them thrive and has inspired me to take a leap of faith and teach full time.
