ESL Teachers

I do not have much experience with teaching, beyond the teaching required for my University degree. However, I do have experience being in Korea and I am currently learning Korean, while looking at taking the TOPIK proficiency exam in the near future.

I am a lively individual. I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable and relaxed around a teacher. I know how to brighten an atmosphere and keep people smiling, while also being aware of the limit and understanding when to tone it down and be more serious and stern. I am a motivator too, I encourage others to try harder and to never stop working, no matter what. The only things worth having are the things we've worked hard for.

I am a computer literate person, I have no trouble operating a computer and using one to create powerpoint presentations.
I consider myself linguistically competent. Not only do I have a firm grasp on the English language but learning other languages is something I enjoy.
I am a goal driven person. I set standards for myself and targets to achieve and I work my hardest to see them accomplished.
I also believe I am a quick learner and can adapt to a new environment swiftly.

Hello,

In the last 5 years of my professional experience, I have worked in the education field which assisted families in the USA with funding for their education.

I have some experience working with children and training adults. I've worked with people from various parts of the world with their English fluency and their understanding of the American culture.

I am very personable and dependable. Many colleagues find me approachable for all questions when assistance is needed. I am also very patient and observative which allows me to view things from a greater perspective before reacting.

I am excited to continue being a part of students lives through more hands on education.

Maintain over 10 years of interpersonal and managerial experience in customer relations in various demographic locations. Supervised between 15 to 45 employees at one time. I have extensive practice serving as a support system and advocate to facilitate personal growth and steer colleagues toward achieving individual and common objectives. Demonstrate the value of long-term commitment and loyalty to employers, colleagues, and clientele.

I recently moved to Korea from the United States on an F-6 Visa in July of 2020. I first visited Korea in 2012 to experience my wife’s culture and visited several times in the following years. My purpose of relocating to Korea long-term was to immerse myself into a culture and family which I have grown to love, and having the opportunity to serve a positive role in Korean community as an English Teacher.

I believe motivating students to want to practice English, and helping enhance their overall English capabilities to benefit their futures would provide me a sense of pride and fulfillment. Although I have no classroom teaching experience, on prior visits I have had personal interactions with younger Korean family members and friends who once were reluctant, but overtime pursued practicing English with me. This brought me joy and facilitated my desire to move to Korea and teach.

I am a very energetic and proactive person. In my spare time I enjoy training for endurance cycling and running competitions. I believe that my outgoing personality traits, personal experiences in Korea, and professional qualities gained through my prior work experience will provide the balance of energy and professionalism that it requires to be successful in a private English school.

I am a hardworking, highly motivated individual with a positive working attitude. I strive for perfection in everything I do and love to help others whether that is inside or outside the working environment. My goal is to help people all over the world, and I hope to pass on my knowledge to other people learning English so they can better their future. I am currently working through my TEFL 148-our course, where I am confident I will gain the skills needed to provide students with a supportive learning environment.
I have had experience working with children in a summer camp, this experience working abroad has given me valuable lessons in dealing with children and helping them be productive in a work environment.

Having passed the 120 hour online TEFL course, I flew to Hanoi in January 2020 to begin an EFL teaching internship through Fluent Vietnam. This included teacher training in Hanoi, and further training through Dang Tuan Language Centre in Haiphong, using the Cambridge curriculum. I delivered ten 40 minute lessons with primary school students (aged 5 – 10), before schools closed across the country due to the Coronavirus pandemic. As Haiphong is located 1700km from the Chinese border, I made the difficult decision to cut the internship short and fly back to the UK early February.

However, my time in Vietnam proved that I was passionate about teaching, and that I was able to manage large class sizes (30 – 50 pupils), with support from a local teaching assistant. Although flashcards and worksheets were provided, the lesson plans were my own, and I was able to adapt lessons to suit the varying abilities of the students. Having come from a youth theatre background, I tend to use physical games and exercises to manage children's energy levels, and to hold their attention span whilst introducing new language. Vietnamese children are highly energetic and competitive, so good behaviour was rewarded with a team game to finish the lesson.

The reason this vacancy appeals is the incredible opportunity to explore SK, whilst honing my teaching skills over the academic year. Having travelled to Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam, I’m really keen to learn about Korean culture, taste the cuisine and visit the beautiful beaches.

What I can bring to the role is a confident and methodical approach to teaching, which allows the students to figure the language out for themselves, and apply it naturally. I have a clear English accent, which will be easy for the students to understand, but will also help with pronunciation.

Please note that I do have facial piercings and visible tattoos, as seen in the attached picture. I would cover these up during the working day.

Yours sincerely,

Anna Lewis

Hello,

I am Asiphe Sibali, a native English speaker from South Africa. I have a 120 hours online Tesol certificate and a Bachelor's degree in Construction Management which has equiped me with skills such as great communication, patience, relationship building, adaptable and crisis management.

I don't have a proffesional teaching experience but during my time in University I had the opportunity of tutoring other students for a period of 2 years. I had the opportunity to instruct a wide variety of students from various backgrounds and all facets of society. As a result, I am a compassionate teacher, who remains sensitive people's unique needs, differentiates instruction, provides individual whole group support, integrates multicultural teaching units, and offers positive encouragement and reinforcement to keep students focused and motivated.

• I am a caring, fun and loving teacher
• I am able to handle students that do not know English
• I will always make the best of any situation
• i have experience in education as well as psychology

I currently hold nearly 2 years of ESL teaching experience. I taught for 15 months in a language centre in Hangzhou, China. In this language school I taught students aged 2 to 15. In this role I was told by my co teachers and senior teachers that I was a very warm and welcoming teacher. I try to encourage each student individually to do their best as opposed to being number 1. I want to see everyone progressing, not just the top in the class. Whilst taking this role I gained 2 Cambridge TKT certificates.
I also have been teaching students online for 6 months. I currently teach one to one VIP students from China, as well as a large group of business professionals from the Middle East. As teaching online has been new to me this year I have tried to adapt to the platforms as well as I could. I try to be a facilitator for the students to practice their English with each other, and correct any accuracy mistakes. I want these students to build their confidence in using the English language. I taught a group of primary aged Estonian children History as a CLIL course. These students were learning History and English at the same time from me, so I have skills in teaching other subjects in English.

I am a patient, dependable and friendly aspiring ESL English teacher, with 3 months experience in the teaching field, which I gained from volunteering at a public primary school.
