ESL Teachers

Over the past ten years, I have grown to love working with children. My experience has allowed me to work with a wide variety of age groups, ranging from three to thirteen years old. In this time, I have learned how to handle children in large groups, use appropriate discipline, cater to their needs, and engage with them in fun and creative ways. Previous work experience at Vice Media and Story Arc taught me to efficiently manage my time and sharpened my interpersonal skills. These skills will serve me well when it comes to lesson planning and working with the school's administration to ensure that my facilitation is appropriate and in line with the curriculum. In completing my TEFL coursework, I learned how to make lessons student-focused, limit teacher talking time, and the importance of eliciting understanding from students. I am excited to apply this knowledge in the classroom through the use of partner work, role-playing activities, songs, and educational games. As a creative, adaptable, and empathetic person, I am confident in my ability to assess students' needs and come up with new ways to make learning English not only exciting but also digestible.

Possesses personality traits suited for teaching young learners such as patience, an energetic demeanor, and a passion for teaching the English language.

I am outgoing, friendly, approachable and naturally like helping people. I am confident in my ailities to teach and engage students.
I have a level 5 tefl certificate and a BA (hons) degree in Journalism.
I have travelled a lot and have lived abroard for 8 year. So i am accustomed to different cultures and traditions.

I have many years of experience working with children and customer service, I've learn over the years that my greatest strength is patience and a want to help others. There has been many times that a problem has been resolved because of listening and being understanding opposed to a headstrong approach. My personality has always been calm, energetic, and approachable. Many people always feel comfortable coming to me with their problems, and is probably why children like me. I also have very strong communication skills.

I have around four years of experience as an ESL teacher in Korea and Japan. I've had the opportunity to work with a wide range of students, from beginners to near-fluent speakers and kindergartners to high school students.

I have experience working as a Head Teacher and am interested in taking on more responsibility in my next job.

I am a very inquisitive individual, always seeking to learn new things and improve every facet I can. I like to consider myself as a welcoming and sociable person, always willing to converse with others whether they are new or familiar faces. Having a desire for travelling and having graduated with a degree in English Language and Literature, I decided to facilitate my interests and skills through teaching English as a second language.

After I graduated I took the leap to move to Hanoi, Vietnam, to teach English at public schools. During my time teaching for Binh Minh Education Development Center (Jan 2019 – Mar 2020), I taught over 1000 students and 30 classes per week, demonstrating cross-cultural communication skills, as well as structure and enthusiasm within the classroom. I also exhibited cultural sensitivity inside and outside the classroom, immersing myself and embracing a foreign culture and adjusting to its unique social etiquette. Since the pandemic, I have transferred my skills onto online platforms, where I continue to teach children and adults English every day.

Moving to Vietnam allowed me to challenge myself and step out of my comfort zone, which facilitated invaluable personal growth. I consistently try to challenge myself physically and mentally to develop my skills and expose myself to new experiences. I am curious to seek new environments and enhance my skills, whether this is in a new work environment or a foreign culture.

I am a very friendly and professional person. I work well in teams and as an individual. I currently work in Beijing China where for the last year and a half I have been teaching in a well recognised training centre teaching English to children aged 3-13. I have a passion for teaching and believe that every child has the potential to reach their goals and the goals set for them.

I speak English, French, Spanish.
I have experience looking after children (baby sitting and teaching swimming).
I am friendly, sociable and work well in a team.

I am lucky to be the kind of person who can get along well with others and relate to any age. I am also a very open-minded individual, especially if it piques my interest or gives me a chance to learn something new. I am very flexible and capable to adjusting quickly to any given situation.
I have been a part of the Girl Scouts of America since I was 6 years old and continue to participate by helping lead troops of young girls. Girl Scouts taught me how to be a leader. It has always been a privilege to help inspire the next generation of girls to take on challenging tasks make a difference in their community, and become leaders.
Through working with Girl Scouts of America and as well as working as a private nanny I have been able to work with many amazing children, each unique in their own way. This has taught me how to be adaptive while working with others to adjust to their individual needs so no one gets left behind.
One of my biggest experiences that I want to mention, that I did not expect, was when my professor asked me to teach for his classes. He did not like the subject of Statistic nor did he understand it well, it was a section in the curriculum though. He asked the class if anyone had taken Statistics before taking his class, which was research methods, and I was the only one who spoke up, so he had me teach the class and him the subject. After class he asked me if I had the time to teach the unit to his other classes, I agreed. It was one of my most enjoyable experiences and it got me interested in teaching in the future.

The majority of my recent work experience is based in the legal sector working and assisting solicitors after completing my law degree. However, while studying I gained a lot of experience working in retail and in various bar jobs. I also have experience as a football referee which may be of particular use when teaching young children as I was refereeing mainly youth football. So I have some experience of managing children, being clear and also flexible in my approach to ensure they understand.

In terms of my personality, I am a very calm individual. I am clear and understanding as well as fair. I am a good listener and communicator – these are things I believe will stand me in good stead to be a very strong teacher. Not to mention, I have an extremely firm grasp of the English Language developed through my academic studies as well as in my leisure time as I am a very keen reader of non-fiction books. My other passions include sport, music, comedy and travel.
