ESL Teachers

I am an English literature graduate with a passion for teaching and the English language. I am a self-driven and results motivated professional who thrives on challenges. My skills include project management, punctuality, Microsoft Office, problem solving and team leadership.
I am a confident team player with a passion for gaining teaching experience.

I am a TEFL certified, university graduate aspiring to be an ESL teacher. I have a passion for languages, which motivated me to major in linguistics at university. Now, it impassions me to encourage other students to nurture their own love for language and master English. I have experience in a classroom from volunteering at His Kids Preschool for the past four summers where I assisted teachers by monitoring children and organizing classroom materials. I therefore have strong skills in classroom management and communication.

To whom it may concern,

Please accept this letter in consideration for the position of English Teacher. I have received my TESL/TEFL Certificate from California State University San Marcos American Language & Culture Institute and wish to continue teaching second language learners English in an engaging communication approach.

Before moving to England my daily life included school, work, and ballet, teaching me that it is not impossible to handle multiple tasks if you approach it with the right mindset. Dance has opened me up too many opportunities and is a key driver that has led me to be interested in working as an English Teacher. I have been able to work with children of all ages through teaching ballet, the younger groups needing more creativity to understand movement concepts has led to many silly endeavors in the classroom, while older students needed a more structured approach to enhance their skills. This has taught me how to be diverse in teaching styles to accommodate for the student’s individual needs.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Melanie Hughes

I have degree in English from the University of Wyoming, which was acquired concurrently with a degree in Physiology. I've taken graduate courses in English, and taught as a Graduate Assistant for the Human Physiology lab. I have worked with children for the past two years, both as a mentor at the Help Yourself Academy and at a local Mental Health Hospital that helps children learn how to cope with trauma, and have appropriate social skills.

My personality is typically cheerful and patient-especially with kids. I enjoy teaching, and really love seeing kids grasp new concepts. I'm an organized and punctual person, and really strive for good and open communication wherever I work.

Teaching English in Asia is an enriching and fulfilling opportunity. Being able to educate and observe the progression of students is highly rewarding. In addition, I am interested in experiencing a new culture and way of life. Teaching English in Asia has been a lifelong dream.

I am Bachelor of Social Science graduate. Achieved 64 credits in a Post Graduate Certificate in Education program, which I was unable to finish due to financial reasons. During these program I was able to gain teaching experience working as a student teacher in two schools. I am very passionate and determined individual. I am very good at organizing, I have good written and verbal communication. During my time as a student teacher I was able to gain crucial skills on how to manage a classroom.

I am a strong experienced manager working with a high number of foreign volunteers who come to learn English, teaching them basic English to business English through out their stay. Stays would last from 4 – 8 weeks usually with 2 foreign volunteers at a time. I also work with foreign settlers looking for full time work. They come to me to be trained in retail working while also developing their English skills before they apply to full time work.
Throughout my years in both retail and various teaching roles I have gathered much knowledge in people skills, all students are individual and everyone learns in their own unique way. I use multiple methods of teaching (linguistic, visual, auditory, kinetic), mixing both traditional ways of learning with new to reach every student. Learning is not a skill that is necessarily instinctual or easy, and therefore different approaches must be used to make learning easier and more fun for students.
I have an open mind, a positive attitude and high expectations in the classroom each day. I want my classroom to be a fun and relaxed learning environment, allowing students to not fear learning and believe there are no stupid questions. If you do not ask how would you ever find out the correct answer.
I strongly believe in student-centered learning. Creating lessons that focus on the students and how they learn rather than the teacher being the center of the class. Letting students work together and take more control on the lessons makes them rely more on what they already know and forces them to think more rather than rely on myself to give them the answer first. We would then go over their answers together and I would offer solutions and answers.
