ESL Teachers

I love to teach English to students from all backgrounds, levels and experience. I was teaching primarily kindergarten in Vietnam starting in September 2019- March 2020 but due to the Covid-19 pandemic I was forced to return home to the UK (very reluctantly I may add).

My degree was in Law. I enjoyed my degree as it has given me many transferrable skills and the confidence to get in front of my students confidently and articulate what I need to teach in an efficient manner.

I think the thing I love about teaching is the difference that you see in how quickly a student improves and the smiles and enjoyment that success brings. I don't think that there is a better more life fulfilling job than that.

One of the primary reasons that I love teaching English abroad as a foreign language is the opportunity to travel and experience first hand new cultures and the difference that you can make to the quality of lives of the students. It allows me to be creative in my work life which means that there is never a boring or unfulfilled day in the classroom.

I am an outgoing, professional and fun individual who loves to socialise with a wide variety of people from around the world. I believe that I could strike up a conversation with a stranger and find common ground with anyone as my knowledge and interests are vast. I try and live my life on the premise of treat people how you would like to be treated and that at one stage even your best friends were strangers to you so treat everyone you meet with respect that they deserve.

I am a patient, creative and charismatic individual who gives everything to his students to ensure that they have the best learning experience possible while at the same time having fun and getting to grips with a challenging language.

I love sports especially football and I am an avid Manchester United fan. I live only a short distance away from the legendary Old Trafford and visit there often. I love to spend time with my family and friends doing all manner of activities including but not limited to museum trips, picnics in the park and watching sports.

I think my greatest strength for teaching is my ability to build a strong rapport with students. I really care about the educational progress and general well-being of my students and am a naturally personable and bubbly individual. These traits allow me to create a fun and safe classroom environment, which I believe is integral to successful learning. I am TEFL- certified and have experience teaching abroad, both in Europe and Asia, and am great at communicating with students of all ages, no matter what level of English they have. As someone who studied foreign languages at school and university, I find it easy to put myself in the students' shoes and to understand the challenges involved with learning English. As a result I make sure that I am supportive and encouraging and give students the confidence they need to thrive in their learning of English.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts and Sciences from the University of Illinois where I earned a GPA of 3.65. I believe this reflects my passion for learning and how hard working I am. I also have received a TEFL certification of 180 hours from the International TEFL Academy in Chicago. This certification class was very thorough and taught me many important aspects about being an English teacher abroad, from making lesson plans to teaching grammar to creating a good classroom environment, and thus, I feel I am extremely prepared to be an excellent English teacher. My TEFL certification class also contained 10 practicum hours where I observed and taught English classes to adult English learners in the Chicagoland area ranging from the beginner level to the advanced level. I have also over a year of experience teaching both in a school in Korea, as well as for an online teaching company. I am able to make detailed lesson plans, help students with grammar, pronunciation, and comprehension. I absolutely loved teaching these students and am now confident I will be able to teach people from another country efficiently as well as engage them with my lessons and class content. I also taught an intensive TOEFL test preparation class, so I am able to teach TOEFL as well. I am a very hard-working and responsible person and have always been committed to producing the best work I can with any job I do. Through various part time jobs working at coffee shops and my university’s library I have learned the importance of organization, efficiency, hard-work, and communication with co-workers, employers, and customers and believe I am an exceptionally good employee. I am very passionate about teaching English.

DESIRED START DATE – I have to give 4 weeks notice at current job. After that I am happy to start as soon as I am able to travel to South Korea.

I am a meticulous, hard working and trustworthy individual who functions well as part of a team or on my own initiative and following instructions with minimal supervision. I was Student Union President at Hereford University as an undergraduate and became proficient in organisation and working with other people in sometimes-difficult situations.

I am currently employed by EF ~ I did 10 months teaching in classroom with them. I am currently providing online classes for students.

During my time at EF I was awarded best colleague award & outstanding teacher award. I was also promoted to Senior Academic mentor within 6 months of employment in my first teaching position.

I really enjoy teaching. I have always loved children and found this to be the first job I've had that I feel extremely passionately about. I see it as something that I wanted to continue to do and build a career around.

In my spare time I enjoy hiking and reading. I have hiked the across England and Spain (Spain was somewhat dryer). I would love to come to Korea and learn some of the language and about the culture there. When I was younger I was moderately obsessed with Korean TV shows which has become an interest in Korean literate and culture. It is a place I have always wanted to see and what better way to get to know a place that to live and work there.

Thank you for your consideration,
Cottia Fortune

I am a recent graduate from SUNY Binghamton University. During high school, I participated in Korean school at my church as a TA for almost 4 years. This experience has given me a chance to learn skills of teaching, especially for children of young age like kinder to elementary level. I have also worked as a piano tutor during high school which gave me more opportunity to communicate with younger children. In college, I have taken Korean classes as a TA to help young adults and fellow colleagues to learn Korean and participated in the Korean tutor program to help students with the language.
As a citizen of Korea, I am both fluent in Korean and English. Being a bilingual would be helpful in many cases since the positions are sited in Korea. I have also taken a TOEIC exam this June and received a perfect score of 990 which will be a plus to Korean employers.
I am a very positive and loving person. I have always wanted to be involved in this field in terms of interacting with kids and teaching them beyond the language. With this in mind, I will be able to work with all my energy and put all enthusiasm in any environment. All positions described would be fulfilling if I am offered the job. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Please contact me via e-mail or phone as I am currently back in Korea. Thank you very much.

I'm a native English speaker with a great sense of communication and a passion for teaching. I decided to embark on a journey to Asia in January, 2018. Throughout the past two and a half years, I have gained invaluable experience in teaching English as a foreign language to students across Vietnam & Singapore in both centres and online platforms.

I have taught English as a second language to students aged between 4-18 years old, mainly focused on grammar, reading and conversational skills.

My love for coaching young learners to build confidence in expressing themselves in English, is my greatest driving force. I strive to make a difference in the lives of my students on a daily basis.

Dear Sir/Madam:

Hello, I am Jameel Kaba and I'm applying for the position of ESL Teacher. I have a Bachelors of Science from the University of Western Ontario. Though most of my experience is in the sports industry, I am interested in learning more of the Korean culture, and trying something new.

I have some basic experience with teaching English from my time within the hockey industry. When I was with the Vancouver Canucks, I would spend some time working with recent draft picks who may not speak English. Though the players would only be in the city for about a month, I would help teach them basic English phrases to get by during their stay. As a scout, I would occasionally have to interview players for scouting purposes. Some times though, the player may not speak English or may have broken English. So to try and communicate I would try a variety of methods. These methods included trying to draw out plays and see what the player would do, or see if they can try to type out their answers on a phone.

As for myself I am motivated, well organized, and detail oriented, as well as a self-starter who is creative and adaptive in a new environment. If I need to obtain any certification for this position, I'm more than willing to obtain it. For a preferred location I'd like to work in a big city such as Seoul or Busan, but I would be willing to teach in any location. Part of the reason for why I would like this job is to learn more about the Korean culture and lifestyle, and also to step away from sports for a little bit. I know some basic Korean expressions, and am attempting to learn a little bit at a time. Having worked in the Hockey industry, I am used to working any day and any time even if it is a holiday.

Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi there,

I have a BA in English, an MA in Film and Television Studies, and a TEFL qualification. I have teaching experience in Singapore at a phonics and literacy school with children aged between 3-12 years of age, online to teenagers and adults from around the world, and private phonics tutoring to a young child. I love working with both children and adults, helping them with their ESL journeys and offering quality teaching to enable my students to succeed with their language acquisition.

I would describe my teaching style as kind and patient, always making sure to correct errors and using positive reinforcement to manage classroom behaviour.

I love to travel, and living abroad whilst teaching English is wonderful for me – I find it such a fulfilling job and I always bring enthusiasm and friendliness into my classroom!

My skills lie in organisation, punctuality, reliability and being creative.

I am a recent college graduate from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology. I am a kind, friendly, positive, open-minded, and determined individual. I enjoy exploring and learning new things and meeting new people. Children are my passion. I am fortunate to have a pretty solid background in working with children from different ages, backgorund, and personalities. My first job as a Community Service Assistant in a after-school program, I worked with elementary students but mainly with 5th graders. I learned a lot from that job since it was my first job. I learned discipline, teamwork, and communication. I also worked as a Child Care Aide in my university's Child Care Program. I mainly worked with infants and kindergarteners. It was a great experience. Also, I worked as a summer camp counselor for a summer in university summer camp and that was a fun experience and gave me even more leadership skills than I expected. I had to instruct, teach, and guide the student through many activities and problems. I worked with 4th graders. I am organized, communicative, and a great listener. I also worked as a voluntary teacher's assistant in my local learning center in high school that led to my passion for children. The teacher and the students were great and I enjoyed my time.
