Hello my name is Ciaran Foley I am a 25 year old male from Ireland. I graduated from Dublin Technological University in 2018 with a Bachelors of Science in Environmental Health receiving a 2:1 honours grade. Following graduation I gained employment in Ireland as an Environmental Manager in a meat processing facility. In May 2018 I moved to Toronto and worked in a bar for the first few months before finding employment related to my degree as a Safety Supervisor in a logistics company. I left Toronto in April 2020 with the plan to complete TEFL and relocate to Asia to teach. I have now completed a level 5 TEFL course with The TEFL Academy and am looking for employment. It is still unclear when I will be able to move due to the COVID-19 pandemic but I am actively trying to make connections to help me find a suitable teaching position in an area I like. Thank you for taking the time to review my application and I hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,

Ciaran

When starting my career in education, I found a keen interest in special educational needs. Through my placement as a level 2 teaching assistant I was able to develop this interest as a skill. Later used to become a respite worker for families with autistic children. As this job went on, I found myself becoming keenly interested in child development. This brought me to my bachelor’s degree in child and young person development.

The three-year degree allowed me to further my knowledge in this field, whilst also providing me with first-hand experience in a number of different settings including schools, youth offending facilities, kindergartens and youth clubs. I eventually graduated with a 2:1 grade after completing my dissertation: A comparative report of Estonia, Finland and Russia in terms of PISA. On completion, I was able to display my public speaking skills when invited to speak at the British Conference of Undergraduate Research.

During my studies I developed a personal passion for travelling and made regular trips to mainland Europe whilst Spending my summers in North America and south East Asia. Through this, I was given the chance to experience different cultures and social values. This made me question how other countries viewed education and what role education played in the societies of developing nations. This, coupled with a keen interest in geopolitics, brought me to my master’s degree (International development & education).

The MA allowed me to explore these unanswered questions whilst giving me the platform to debate worldwide social issues. Alongside this, I gained valuable experience in my placement module. Experiencing life in an Indonesian education foundation. Working with impoverished students teaching English and Climate Issues. Alongside this, I worked as part of a group implementing a waste management project for the setting.

With my passion for travel, quick adaptation to cultures and background in teaching. I feel that this role would give me the perfect opportunity to display my own personal skill set in a demanding and new environment. Fulfilling my own personal desire to live and work outside of the UK and providing the employer with a valued resource for the school.

Thank you for your consideration,

James F. O’Hara

I just graduated in May 2020 with a BA in Critical Languages and International Studies: Korean with a minor in Business Administration from the University of Texas at Arlington, and it's been my goal for many years to live and work in Korea. In 2019, I visited Korea twice, once to study abroad at Yonsei University and again for just 4 days for my birthday because I loved the country so much. Experience-wise, I do not have a TEFL, but I spent 2 years at Southern Methodist University tutoring Chinese-native graduate students learning English to teach their own classes, and studying Secondary Education and taking ESL education courses. I am a strong leader and efficient; I've turned around my current restaurant workplace and take great pride in my eye for spotting weaknesses in a system and moving quickly to remedy them. I have a passion for travel, but more specifically, I'm passionate about traveling around Korea.

I’m a native English speaker, and the accent I use is the General American accent. Over the past four years, I’ve taught at a variety of institutions. This includes a college, a high school, two private schools, and an adult English school. I believe my broad range of experiences make me an excellent candidate for a position at Lee School.

I spent a year and a half teaching adult students at GJun, an adult English center. I taught vocabulary, General American pronunciation, and grammar through the use of articles, video and group discussion. My goal was to help them openly and fluently express their ideas in a safe, English-only environment.

I taught English for a year at Su-Zhen Junior College of Medicine and Management. As a language instructor at Su-Zhen, I held conversational English lessons for the English Department, Early Childhood and Education Department, Nursing Department, and the Health and Beauty Department. Additionally, I provided all lesson plans, quizzes, tests, and class material.

I served as an English instructor at Deguang Catholic High School for two semesters. This was an advanced program designed for elite students preparing to go abroad. While the school provided a textbook and class material, I added additional course material and lessons as needed by the class.

Finally, I spent the majority of my teaching career at Joy English. During my first year, I taught at Joy Dawan. I then transferred to Joy Yongxin to help open the new school as both of these language centers are operated by the same owner. While at Joy English, I taught ages 6 – 18. All lessons and material were provided by the school. However, we were expected to be creative and flexible in regards to lesson and project planning.

At Joy English, teamwork was important. All foreign teachers were paired with a Taiwanese teacher for each class. On the other hand, while teaching at Shu-Zen, GJun and Deguang, I taught class without supervision or assistance. Thus, I have experience working both as a team or on my own, and feel comfortable in both situations.

My teaching style is energetic, outgoing, and positive. However, I am also patient. I understand how difficult it can be to learn a new language, and that sometimes some students need a little more time to get it right.

Experience: I have completed a 120 Hour TEFL Course from The TEFL Org (Student ID/Certification Number: 124798), and have previously worked as a Classroom Assistant at the British School of the Netherlands' English Language Summer School (2014 & 2015). My experience at the summer school included assisting ESL teachers and students during classes, supervising students during their non-english lessons, and teaching sports for a variety of age groups (8-16 years old).

Personality: I am a friendly and outgoing person, who has an excellent sense of humour. I enjoy taking on new challenges and mastering them to the best of my ability. I am quick to make friends and build positive relationships with my colleagues, and am sure of my ability to form similar working relationships with my students. I take my work seriously and am committed to maintaining high personal and professional standards.

Skills: I have a high level English speaking and writing skills, as evidenced through my degrees. I have excellent leadership skills, having led several student-run societies during my high school and university careers. I possess excellent public speaking and presentation skills, having undertaken Model United Nations as an extra curricular for approximately 7 years, and utilising these skills during both my bachelors and masters degrees.

I am a hardworking individual that loves working with kids. Patience, understanding, and diligence are all traits that I embody and plan to cultivate in the years to come.

I have 5+ years of experience editing English essays and tutoring – chemistry, math, and Latin – and I would like to put my skills to use as a teacher for international students. As an ESL teacher and role model, I plan to lead my students in a collaborative environment where they can ask questions and interact with each other during collaborative assignments.

Dear GLOII,

I am a passionate English Teacher with five (5) years of experience teaching students of various ages (preschool to adult), literature and English language skills. I have become an expert in providing students with a well-rounded education in grammar, reading and writing. I am motivated to help students advance in their English language abilities for future personal and professional success!
I have also had great success in building engaging lesson plans and communicating ideas to foster student comprehension. I am an expert in adapting course materials to meet established standards and individual academic capabilities. I am well-versed in motivating students to meet learning objectives!

I've taught piano and choral music to children since I was 13. I taught piano at my parents' piano school, and then after graduating from High School I would work as a teaching assistant for the choral teacher at the beginning of school years. I recently graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in English, and mastery of the language is a strong point of mine. I follow rules well and am very personally accountable.

I am a college graduate with degrees in English and Linguistics, with minors in Chinese, Asian Studies, and Education. I have five years of combined teaching/tutoring experience and three years of experience as a copyeditor. I have worked with students of all ages and worked extensively with students learning English as a second and/or foreign language. From 2019-2020, I was teaching English in Mongolia at Otgontenger University. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was 14-years-old. I love teaching, seeing my students grow, helping them achieve their personal goals, all while learning from them along the way. I am flexible, curious, and a fast learner. I adjust well to new environments, and I am a hard worker; I will do everything and anything for my students.
