ESL Teachers

I graduated at Gallaudet University and majored in International Studies. My field can be anything to work with companies, government, or teaching with children/special children. I would like to get new experience working with children and I am good with write and read to help them able to understand English better. I am deaf and I have ability to speak, I believe that it is good suitable for me to work with kindergarten. When I have spare time, I helping people around me who are learning English as I noticing that people who able to understand English better with a lot of explanation and gave example what word look like, but as for children, they need to have a lot of vision and more active to understand the word better. I love little children and I would love to see them bring their bright future.

I'm a recent CELTA certified teacher who is enthusiastic, empathetic and effective, and I have worked with a variety of age groups, both children and adults.

My greatest strength is my ability to speak publicly in a comfortable manner, and to create effective lessons covering receptive skills, productive skills, and language systems. My ability for clarification of language points, like vocabulary, phonology, grammar, and functions of the English language is another great strength, as well as creating strong and detailed lesson plans and language analyses.

I've worked in the behavioral health field for most of my career, and have led countless classes regarding recovery for at risk people; this required detailed analysis of people and their behavior, and quick thinking. These experiences have also allowed me to become well equipped for situations which require mediation of conflict, preparation of documentation, and adhering to a strict schedule. I also had to create lessons for my class, often making my own materials, and adapting material from existing textbooks.

JOSE ANDERSON TAN ARANETA

Hi my name is Jose, 36 years of age and currently based here in the United Kingdom. I’m a trained English tutor. I believe in this life quote – There is no glory without sacrifice. I speak three languages, they are English, Filipino and a bit of Spanish. I am using English most of the time especially at work settings and talking with my friends.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing last 2006 at Western Mindanao State University in the Philippines. Part of my training was conducting health teaching to my clients in the community and case presentations in the hospitals. After I finished my degree, I decided to apply as a First Aid volunteer at Philippine National Red Cross and then I progressed as a Teacher, teaching Basic Life Support to school ages from 10 to 15. One of the things that was included in my Red Cross teaching was making sure that my students acquired the basic knowledge and understanding on how to perform Basic Life Support.

My primary and secondary education at Immaculate Conception Archdiocesan School was from 1996 to 2001. These are the subjects that were included in the curriculum which were English language, English literature, Physics, Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Music Arts and Physical Education, Science and Health, Computer literacy, Character formation and Good Manner and Right Conduct. Also we had a practice teaching demonstration as part of our curriculum. To further my studies, I came to the United Kingdom in 2008 and did a BSc Hons in Health and Social Care. I obtained 270 credits in my studies at Anglia Ruskin University. Part of my application to become a student in the U.K. was to take the International English Language Testing System – IELTS – and meet the language requirements here in the United Kingdom.

I like travelling, internet surfing and reading books in my spare time. I also like visiting National Trust sites and discovering some of their treasures. These are just some of my hobbies to keep my life going and growing.

I have been in the UK for twelve years and developed my skills in the English language. I am attracted to the role because I want to further develop my teaching skills and for my professional growth and development. I am very much looking forward to working with your company, because I believe it will help me develop my professional skills in teaching. I posses good interpersonal and communication skills and a basic knowledge of IT skills.I am hardworking, flexible, caring and patient.

I passed my teaching English as a foreign language- TEFL course and my Cambridge Assessment – teaching English Online.

I am now a qualified English teacher.

As your English tutor, I will make sure that my students will deserve and obtain their English language qualification.

As a mechanical engineering graduate, I feel as though I have strong analytical skills. This means that I can judge classroom activities and situations and amend them to make the learning experience more efficient and positive for the students.
A personality trait of mine is enthusiasm. I feel as though this translates well to students, who are then more receptive to learning.
Another important trait that I have developed has been patience. As all students learn at their own pace and in their own way, it is important to remain patient in helping them all.
One of my years of university was spent in Malaysia. This was an excellent experience for me, and taught me many things. For example, adaptability through learning in new ways and adapting to the norms of a foreign country. This is a skill that will carry over to this role.
Furthermore, my year in Malaysia was a chance for me to explore communication in a new way- non verbal communication, being mindful of different cultures and how I express the words I want to say. This is an invaluable skill that aids in the teaching of students at all levels of English proficiency.
Finally, being organised is something I pride myself with. As a teacher, being organised is imperative- if you are organised, the students are able to learn effectively.

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.

If you require any more information regarding my experience or would like to know more about me as a person feel free to contact me regarding an interview

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.
