ESL Teachers

I am confident in my command of the English language. I am passionate about language learning and desire to help others cultivate their skills as I will with mine. I was involved in both Japanese and Korean culture clubs in college. They helped grew my desire to continue learning language and culture. I am TEFL certified.

I am a punctual, organised and a native communicator of English. I hold all my work at a high value of importance, no matter how small the task is. I am self-motivated and independent; meaning I can work by myself and within a team. I believe even the smallest assignment is what makes the bigger picture perfect. My ability to pick things up quickly and my enthusiastic attitude to work has always allowed me to fit easily into most work dynamics, with little to no problems.

Since graduating from University, I have been thinking about my future more now than ever before. Over the years I have had different jobs (Admin, retail, Banking), which have been amazing and have helped me gain experience and learn new skills; skills that I plan to put towards my future goals and endeavours. Due to recent events, I’ve been able to volunteer my time online to people of different backgrounds. Since May 2020 I have been tutoring English online my main student being a Korean university student. I have been helping him in both written and spoken English and improving his conversational skills as he hopes to work abroad after graduating. I have also taken up a position as an ESOL teaching assistant at ELATT

There are three main reasons why I want to teach. The first is because I have a passion for teaching English. I wish to impart my knowledge and experiences to not just my future students but other teachers. I don’t just plan to share my knowledge but to gain some from those I meet and other educators. The second reason is that I understand how knowing a second langue opens more career paths and opportunity for students. It gives them an academic advantage as well as increases their confidence. I want to help and motivate them to reach their langue goals. Finally, I want to make a difference in students’ lives. For me, it was my English teachers that ignited my passion for creative writing and English. They are the main force behind me studying English at a higher level and a large factor in me wanting to become a teacher myself.

My teaching philosophy is to never give up on my students. Every student is different and has their talents, weaknesses and strengths. Each student learns differently and has unique ways of retaining information. I will use a variety of teaching methods such as visual and auditory; to reach students, so that no one is left behind. I plan to learn from students as much as they learn from me. My philosophy will be to teach my students how to study, how to ask the right questions and when. One way I plan to emphasise this philosophy in my classes is to incorporate regular feedback from students and be available to them through different means for questions. Many time students avoid asking questions because they are shy of being singled out by their peers. I aim to encourage my students to fully engage in the topics taught and speak (within reasons) freely. I strongly believe asking questions is the only way students can fully comprehend what they are learning.

I have only recently completed my TEFL course and am looking for my first teaching opportunity in Asia with a view to entering the education sector as a long-term career path, while simultaneously having the chance to expand my knowledge and understanding of other cultures and languages. Despite my educational background being in Politics and the social sciences, I have taken part in many educational initiatives previously. In particular, my experience with the ParliaMentors program, in which I helped to sustain a social action project that educated 16 to 18-year-old students about the British democratic process and as such involved conveying educational material in a manner that was engaging for the target audience. Similarly, I have been involved with the Scouting movement as a troop leader; the main role of a troop leader is to engage younger people with basic education on the environment and nature.

During my 3rd year at university, I also completed an exchange year in Seoul at Korea University, and as such have a basic understanding of the Korean language as well as prior basic experience with the Korean educational culture.

The opportunity to be able to tutor and teach young people in what is an increasingly needed skill in a more globalised world is one that has inspired me to pursue a career in education. The chance to give students a life skill as tangible as bilingualism going forward as well as play a significant role in their formative years in the education system is something that I regard as rewarding on both a professional and personal level, and consequently is a position that I would enjoy applying my studious work ethic to.

Hello. I have been teaching ESL since 2007. Currently, I am teaching freshmen at Kongju National University in Cheonan, South Korea. I have a lot of experience in both Korean offices and Korean classrooms that would be beneficial to any academy or school.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

I have completed a BA honors degree from London metropolitan university in Education studies and English literature, I have also competed a 120 hour TEFL course. I have one year previous teaching experience working in schools and colleges around the UK.

I am a graduate of the UTJ2 University in Toulouse, where I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Foreign Languages, an English and Spanish International Business Course. I master the linguistic and cultural foundations of English and Spanish and, as you will see from my CV, my voluntary and paid work as an English teacher has given me experience in teaching both children and teenagers but it has also given me the opportunity to instruct a wide variety of students from various countries and all faces of society. As a result I am a compassionate teacher, who can adapt to my students personal needs in order to see them grow in confidence through their newfound joy of English studies.

My specialisation lies within understanding each student, their learning capabilities and how best to increase their love of the English language. That is why I incorporate a variety of resources to accommodate students via visual, audio and kinesthetic methods.

I really enjoy teaching English, and I strongly believe that I am a cheerful, fast-learner, creative, reliable and adaptive person.

I am a dedicated, hard working native English speaker, and I am confident that I possess the qualities that make me ideal for the ESL teaching role in Korea.
Having successfully completed a 120-hour TEFL course, I believe myself to be in a good position to take up the role advertised, being eager to begin furthering my skills and applying them to educating. Time spent volunteering at a local Cubs group has made me comfortable and confident in leading groups of children. In addition to this, I recently have begun observing French classes in a nearby primary school, which offers me a very useful insight into how a professional teaches a foreign language to younger learners.
University gave me experience in organising and delivering presentations, while achieving a first-class degree demonstrates my dedication and ability to work hard. My employment has instilled me with a strong sense of responsibility and taught me excellent communication skills, in both speaking and listening. I pride myself on being friendly and open, characteristics that make me a great fit for this role, while a keen interest in running keeps me fit and healthy.

I am a friendly and approachable individual that is well acquainted with foreign language teaching, having both learnt Spanish to fluency and mentored students at sixth form and degree level. My disciplined work ethic was important in me achieving an Upper Second-Class Honours at university. I am flexible and adaptable which has allowed me to mentor students, take part in extracurricular activities and balance a job alongside education. Furthermore, I have an in-depth understanding of student-teacher dynamics, including how lessons are most effectively planned and delivered, which will undoubtedly contribute to me becoming a key member of staff.

Dear Whomever it may concern,

My name is Royon Meerzadah. I graduated from Duquesne University in 2020 with a degree in International Relations and a minor in Political Science and Law. Throughout my time at school I gained experience in teaching by tutoring many foreign exchange students in English, the students I primarily worked with were from Saudi Arabia and Japan. Over the summer of 2020 I worked at a summer camp where I tutored kids from 1st grade to 7th grade in math and science as well as spelling, reading, and writing. Currently I am a teacher's assistant in Spain helping teach kids from 3rd grade to 6th grade English. In my current position I converse with the students in English as well as teach to them American grammar, slang, vocabulary, and culture so they may better understand the language.

I come from a multicultural and ethnic background, due to this I have developed into a very open-minded person. When I was young my family moved back and forth between America and Uzbekistan which made me a type of person that can adapt to different environments easily. I am also a very friendly and outgoing person. I love meeting new people and going to new places. My ability to adapt easily, friendly and outgoing personality is how I found employment in Spain as a teacher's assistant.

I have great time management skills and I am very detail oriented. I developed my time management skills due to working part time and doing internships, while also being a full time university student. This disciplined me into making sure I managed my time wisely. In the past, I worked at a law firm as well as a research facility. Both of these internships emphasized the importance of being detail oriented to make sure there were no mistakes made in our research or projects.
