ESL Teachers

From June 2018-February 2020 I worked as an English Teacher in Beijing, China, thus giving me nearly two years of experience. During my time in Beijing, I learned the challenges and joys of teaching English to students as their second language. I believe a student is best engaged and learns effectively when they are developing intellectually, emotionally, and physically. By focusing on whole child development, the students will get more out of each lesson, as no area is being neglected. Because of this, I strive to make each one of my lessons fun and engaging for the students, and make my classroom a safe and inviting place for students to be themselves. To make the students comfortable, I always greet each student individually and practice patience, especially when students are struggling with the material. Having patience with young learners is critical to their success, and perhaps one of my most valued strengths as a teacher. In addition, I make my lessons engaging by incorporating games and interaction in my lessons. I enjoy doing activities in my lessons that involve all types of skills – listening, speaking, reading, and writing. I do my best to incorporate multiple skills at a time, so children are continually challenged throughout the lesson. Because not every student learns in the same way, I try to vary each activity to best cater all students. For example, I believe each lesson should contain activities that include things for visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. Some lessons will include games that get the children up and moving, some include songs and chants, and some may be focused on drawing and using fine motor skills with craft projects. I enjoy diversifying my lessons so each day provides something new and exciting.

I am hard working and a fast learner.

I love working with people and working with children is highly rewarding work. I have worked with children for four years at my church's club teaching them outdoor skills, life skills and about the bible and God.

I have also worked on a summer camp called Kirkwood Camp in America. I worked with all ages at that camp and was able to learn a lot about myself and the children.

I am a good team worker and highly organised. I do the best in everything that I do.

I am hard working, a good team member and a fast learner.
I am adaptable to most situations and I enjoy working with, and helping, people.

I have worked at my church club for four years. The club is called Adventurers and Pathfinders. I taught the younger groups of 4-5 year olds and it was very rewarding. We mostly teach them outdoor skills and about the bible.

I have also worked on a summer camp in Pennsylvania America. I worked with all age groups and again it was very rewarding. The best part of the job was working with the different children who came every week.

I have a TEFL 130 hr certificate and I was able to do in person classes and gain experience from that before COVID truly hit the UK.

I am a good writer, speaker and I look forward to working with you.

I am an enthusiastic individual with a strong desire to learn new skills and work in new challenging environments. I have worked in the tourist industry for a few years as a tour guide. I worked at Glenfiddich and Cardhu distilleries, conducting guided tours and speaking to large groups of people, teaching them about the whisky making process.

I am conscientious and I can be relied upon to support my team. My main skills are communication, team work, and adaptability. All of which I demonstrated in my previous role as a tour guide. Over lockdown I have worked as a production runner, assisting photographers and producers in a fast paced environment.

In my free time I enjoy drone photography, hill climbing, and traveling.

My academic training and eight years of experience teaching K-12 students and adults in a variety of settings, as well as university students preparing for graduate school admission, has prepared me to be a highly effective instructor. In addition to teaching English Language Arts at a charter school in Baltimore, I am also the Gifted and Talented Learners Lead. Moreover, as a former English teacher in New York City and Korea, I have experience teaching a diverse, tech-savvy student base.

Beyond my teaching expertise, I also have written several papers on the issue of ENL/TESOL education, both in the United States and globally. My research has informed my instruction, which allows me to better serve my students by understanding the unique position of a diverse student body. I have extensive experience incorporating community outreach into my classroom and my curriculum. For example, as an ELA teacher, I led a mini-unit on civil rights, using my knowledge in educational theory and differentiated learning. From those lessons, my students spent some time writing letters to their congressional leaders, advocating for more responsive leadership. Also, while teaching in Korea, I developed speaking lessons to aid my students in applying for jobs in the United States and Australia, mainly based on the TOEIC and IELTS exams. I truly love discovering ways to integrate cultural relevance into my lesson plans, and would like to continue this process.

It is my goal to combine my range of experiences with my ability to be a compassionate, enthusiastic, intelligent teacher who will make a positive contribution. After receiving my Masters in Education, I became not only proficient in the practical aspects of teaching, but also the more technical concepts. I would welcome an interview and hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience.

Good day

I’m Carmen and I’m from Cape Town, South Africa. I’m 32 years old and have been teaching English since 2018.

I have experience teaching children of all ages and adults. I have a BA degree and I’m TESOL certified.

I am passionate about teaching and eager to help all my students achieve all their goals. I would like to make a career out of teaching and I aim to obtain my teaching license next year.

I would love an opportunity to expand on my teaching experiences with your school. I aim to be a valuable asset should I be afforded an opportunity.

I hope and look forward to hearing from you soon!

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.
