ESL Teachers

I am a hardworking yet kind hearted teacher. I am very open and positive, which I believe has been one of my greatest strengths as an English Language teacher. I tend to allow students to express themselves – giving them the confidence to make mistakes here and there, before carefully and appropriately correcting them.

I am a cheerful person, who loves seeing others happy. I also am a very relaxed and easy listener – which many have described as refreshing. In terms of skills, other than attentive social skills and awareness, I am becoming quite an experienced English language teacher. I am also a creative writer and author in my spare time, and I enjoy writing short stories.

A joy and passion working with children and adults. Experience educating in my local aquarium with tour sizes from 4-20 students and ages ranging from 3 years old to college students. Teaching topics would include species identification, adaptations, habitat, water quality and conservation. Organization, patience and time management are skills that I excel in.

My most recent experience in teaching is when I taught English in Shenzhen, China to 4-6 year olds from sept 2019 to Jan 2020. I have gained many skills though this, most notably my confidence, when teaching those at a young age its important to make the lessons fun with games and songs, so I had to let go of insecurities like 'looking silly'. The second most important skill I learnt was patience, I had a class of around 23, all at different stages in the English language development, not only did I have to be patient with those who lacked behind, but I also had to be flexible in ensuring those who were at a higher level were still engaged with the lesson.
I perform well in stressful situations, and find it easy to work with my colleagues. I love to explore and experience new things, and I'm not afraid to throw myself into new environments for example, when I arrived in China, it was the first time I had ever been abroad! Despite this, I was able to adapt very easily to the new culture and climate.
I have a deep passion for teaching and the rewarding feeling of seeing my students succeed.

I have come to a path in my life where I want to pursue something I’m passionate about doing which would be teaching children. I had research and looked into TEFL courses which would help me take the step in the correct direction for my goal. I have since completed my TEFL course (December 2019) which has helped push my personal growth and development.

I pride myself on being a helpful person, a go to person who people feel comfortable to be around and able to provide look after student’s development. I do truly believe that to keep attention of young students that learning and classes need to be fun but also able to work hard when it is needed. I believe I would make a great teacher and help benefit a school.

My teaching philosophy is I want children to enjoy learning, come away from a lesson happy and knowing they have learnt something that day. By being a positive person, I want to make students feel confidence when learn are new language and grammar. I understand that some children might not need to use English but it will always beneficial to them as it is a language which is used almost every.

My strengths are that I am determined to succeed, to push myself and help out others. I've done over two years of voluntary work and this has motivated me to pursue a career in which I can help others. I believe that teaching would give me the best opportunity to do so. I can adapt to new environments pretty easy but also know when to ask for help and advice when needed.

I've also been a camp counselor in the United States, in which I mainly looked after children at the ages of 10 to 11 years old. This experience made me realise how amazing it is to help a kid grow, to help them solve their problems and create an environment in which they could improve as a person. It's motivated me to pursue it full time as it was a highly rewarding job. I also want to have a change in my life, to experience a culture as wonderful as South Korea and explore the country and meet the people whilst I'm there.

To Whom It May Concern,
I have always felt that travelling is my passion. So I cannot help but think the opportunity to become an English Teacher abroad is the perfect place for me. South Korean culture has always fascinated me. It started when I discovered Kpop to the amazing food to then meeting some of the kindest Korean people at university.

Fast forward to 2017, I graduated with a 2:1 from Manchester Metropolitan University in Computing. Outside my academics, I also worked part-time as Front of House and played Badminton and Volleyball in my spare time. Currently, I am a UX Research Executive at a company called Dentsu International with 3+ years of experience. During this period, I sharpened my qualities as a researcher as well as my communication, time management and interpersonal skills. I am always keen to enhance and develop more qualities as a teacher. Therefore, I took the next step by starting a 120 TEFL course to help me prepare and initiate my new adventure in South Korea.

I believe my background in user experience and previous hospitality roles would provide value by adding a unique perspective when it comes to teaching. I am a fast and enthusiastic learner, ready to become part of the school.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my application, and I hope to hear from you anytime soon.
Sincerely,
Jashen Alaba

I love educating people and I believe in cultural exchange. Teaching abroad will allow me to experience the best of both worlds. I have 2 years of experience working in Education with Chicago Public Schools as a Paraprofessional. My role was to assist the teacher with daily class instruction. I worked with any age range between 8-14 years. I love to laugh, make nw connections. I love making music which I plan to implement in my lessons where its appropriate. My know how to relate to kids very well, and they usually like me within the first week. I get alone well with professional colleagues which is a plus.

Skills:
I have recently graduated from Royal Holloway, University of London in English Literature. From my degree and schooling education I have learned to become observant, communicative and manage time effectively. From the volunteering I have completed over the years it has allowed me to become confident, show leadership skills and understand others in an empathetic way. Furthermore, through part time jobs I have learned to show excellent customer service and organisational skills.

Personality:
I am known to be talkative albeit shy at first. I pride myself on my time management and organisational skills which I have been complimented for many times. In my free time, I enjoy hiking which I did a lot of during the months of lockdown! I also painting scenic imagery and love to read books. The genre I read the most tends to be historical fiction or non-fiction. I also have an Instagram blog where I rate, review and recommend books.

Experience:
I have had many part time jobs in customer service/ retail related jobs which have helped me deal with people appropriately and gain a lot of patience. During my second year of university, I tutored GCSE students English Literature which has motivated me to go into a career of teaching.

My name is Hope Warren and I am an English graduate and communications professional holding a 120-hour TEFL certification. I have over 100 hours experience teaching ESL online to children.

I have a passion for communications and the English language which I love to share with eager learners. In my experience so far, teaching has been the most rewarding thing I have ever done. The feeling of seeing a student’s pride when they have mastered a new set of vocabulary or grammar point fulfils me, and I want to use my skills to help as many students as I can to achieve their goals. As a teacher I am patient, encouraging and kind, as I believe students learn best in a positive, comfortable environment. I am a reliable and dedicated teacher with a perfect attendance and punctuality record, so you can always rely on me to be on time and prepared to teach at the start of every lesson.

I spent some time in South Korea in 2016 and was astounded by this beautiful country. I have been dreaming about returning ever since, so when I decided I wanted to teach abroad, Korea was an obvious first choice. Upon doing my research, I found this job posting on the TEFL org website and it sounds like the perfect opportunity that I am seeking. I love the fun and unpredictability that working with children brings, and in my experience as an online ESL teacher I have learned the importance of being creative and adaptable.

I possess an MA in Literature and Publishing and have worked as an English language teacher in six countries over a span of 14 years. This has included teaching second language learners of all ages and nationalities in a variety of different settings: universities, high schools, private English schools and summer camps. I have also taught English for a number of varying purposes: general use, professional use and preparation for exams. In addition, I have experience providing corporate training in English language editing for native speaker employees within a company in China. My English language expertise has been broadened and deepened by my experience working as a copy editor and technical writer. I would describe myself as open-minded, adaptable, patient and eager to take on new challenges and to accrue new experiences.
