ESL Teachers

I am a very outgoing person who is excellent and forming new relationships with others. During my time at university I have had the chance to meet countless people through social events, promotional work, and my course.

I cope well in unfamiliar situations and often use my initiative to find solutions to issues that arise, as well as do my best to support my team whilst not being afraid to ask for guidance in order to improve my abilities. As a fast learner I find that I am very adaptable and can overcome many difficulties.

Through presentations and group discussions at university I have been able to greatly improve my communication skills both amongst large groups and in personal conversations, a skill which is key to succeeding in this role.

My previous experience of promotional work has also made me comfortable with meeting new people and allows me to quickly find ways to create connections with others.

My key strengths consist of my attention to detail, planning, and execution, and teaching. I have passion for teaching and English alike.

I was a teacher's assistant in an elementary school, this placement taught me of the fundamentals of designing and delivering elementary level literacy support. Additionally, I have tutored senior year students in computer science, and created daily lesson plans to motivate the students in computing disciplines.

I have Bachelor of Arts English degree as well as a diploma on computer programming. Having worked in information technology industry gave me work experience in managing a high-volume workload within a deadline-driven environment.

I am keen to learn and always looking to improve. I am driven by success and hard work. I have experience teaching guitar and music production to children aged 11-18 and have learn many teaching skills from this experience. I feel that many of these skills are transferable to English teaching.

I am very excited by the opportunity to continue my teaching career. I am a college graduate. I have a BA in Communication from Kennesaw State University. Once I graduated, I spent a year teaching English as a second language in Hangzhou, China. While teaching abroad, I gained more applicable skills such as patience, classroom management, and dedication to my students and their education. I am passionate about empowering students to reach their full potential as lifelong learners and effective members of society by inspiring them to think, to achieve, and to care. I am sure I will be able to meet any and all expectations from your school.

I graduated from college in December 2020 with a Bachelor’s degree in Strategic Communications and am currently working on my TEFL certification. I will be TEFL certified in April 2021. I first learned about teaching English overseas as a career in 2015 and it’s like a lightbulb went off in my head. I knew this was the path for me. I always knew that I wanted to travel and I’ve always been interested in other cultures and languages.

My college degree was heavily focused in advertising and PR principles, writing, studying demographics and target audiences, and ethics. I’ve worked various retail jobs since I was 18 and have been with my current job since 2016. After being with my store for a year, I began training new employees and learned how to adjust my training style to the person’s needs.
Through working retail, I’ve developed many skills that cross over into teaching including: learning how to interact and deal with a variety of people, patience, adaptability, planning, and interpersonal skills. I’m adaptable and work well under pressure. Sometimes there's no pressure like working 40+ hours a week in a mall during Christmas season.

More personally, I’ve always been an avid reader and learned a lot of my early vocab through books. I believe this gives me a unique insight into the frustrating nuances between written and spoken English. I understand the frustration with English pronunciations that don’t follow any rules.

I vividly remember finding the same book in two languages and trying to figure out how translation worked. It definitely went over my 6-year-old head and I remember naively thinking that it was just translated word for word.

I've learned a lot about linguistics since then and have taken Spanish, Latin, and Korean classes. Korean was my foreign language in college. So I have a lot of experience as a foreign language student and I’m ready to take on a role as the teacher.

I have experience as a tutor at 6 ESL summer camps in which I led children of all ages in a mixture of classroom and outdoor activities.
Following my success as a tutor, I was promoted to a supervisor position and was responsible for training over 70 tutors.
I pride myself on being an engaging and enthusiastic communicator, as well as on my ability to form and maintain interpersonal relationships. I have used this skillset to lead a plethora of training sessions across a variety of fields including ESL, retail and youth football.
I have an MA and BA in English related fields, along with a TEFL certificate. I bring the skills that I gained at university into teaching by devising creative lessons for the students to engage with.
My interests include writing fiction as well as performing stand-up comedy. I also love to travel and to seek authentic experiences in new countires. I am an outgoing person who enjoys meeting people from all over the world and learning about other cultures.

I have had five different English as a second language jobs since 2016 and have taught in three separate countries. I currently teach online to students all around the world. Notably, I am teaching three students from Korea; one kindergarten student, one aged nine, and one age 30.

I have worked with English students one on one, in ESL summer camps, and academic classrooms. I also have experience teaching theatre, arts and crafts, and various outdoor activities, including soccer, hiking, and camping, to children in ESL summer camps.

I am patient, very energetic, and I love to work with children. Through various travels around the world, I have gained cross-cultural communication skills, which include non-verbal communication. I also have theatre skills, including public speaking. My strongest academic subjects besides English are politics, sociology, and geography.
I am outgoing, love to meet new people and learn about different cultures!
