ESL Teachers

I am friendly, easy-going, very easy to work with, passionate about everything I do, and I love meeting new people. I have a great attention to detail, love learning new things, diligent, a great multi-tasker and very patient. My skills include computer skills, many hours of research based work, problem solving, extensive writing and reading skills, professional speaking, and deep knowledge of interpersonal relations.

I have fantastic interpersonal and communication skills which allow me to get on and connect with people from all walks of life. I am very independent and can easily adapt to new work places and surroundings I work brilliantly as part of a team and also have the ability to work on my own and use my own initiative. I have worked in a number of different Finance contracts, and I have also completed my 140 hour Tefl certificate in my own time. I have always been very passionate about teaching and the English language has always been my favourite subject, from when I was a student myself till now

My strengths are micro-managing and organizing small projects and groups of students or teachers with clear objectives and goals in mind. I work to execute positive results and expected outcomes as an educator and professional. I enjoy being part of a team with other educators with similar goals and objectives in mind. I believe I would be an asset to your team as an ESL instructor for other educators with a combined total of over 4 years of educational experience at all age levels.
Futhermore, I have one year of teaching experience at GnB English Gimhae and Jangju campus as well as 2 years of teaching experience at Bewegung kindergarten in Busan. I returned to South Africa in 2018 where I worked as an Public High school teacher at P.J Oliver Art Center and continued to work at Jack Meyer Art Center in the beginning of 2019. Recently I’ve been working as an apprentice in Children Minstry at Christ Church Stellenbosch.

Lastly, I hold a bachelors degree in Visual Arts Fine Arts and a masters in Visual Arts Education from the University of Stellenbosch South Africa. I look forward to setting up a mutual convenient time to have an interview in person.

As an excellent communicator and presenter, I’m now seeking to apply my skills in a second career as a teacher of English. While working in corporate America the past 5 years, I’ve taught several classes, conducted countless presentations, and trained new hires one-on-one. I’ve worked voluntarily with youth the past 3 years, so I know a bit about how to keep kids interested and learning. In addition to the skills I learned while obtaining my Bachelor of Science, I also learned how to create meaningful lessons and activities while earning my TEFL. Certification.

While I am new to EFL instruction, I have much to offer you and your students, including:

• Extensive experience in preparing and delivering presentations
• An educated, neutral U.S. accent
• An excellent command of grammar (My mother is an English professor.)
• Superior writing skills
• Teaching experience, training experience, and international experience

In addition, I view teaching as a service, and my management experience at The Welfont Group has developed in me invaluable teaching skills. Running training sessions has improved my leadership abilities, while supervising a multicultural staff has helped me to communicate with all types of people. These skills, along with my creative approach to language education, make me a strong candidate for the position of ESL Instructor.

I’m certain I can make an excellent contribution to your teaching staff. I am attaching my resume and a recent picture. Copies of transcripts and references are available upon request. I look forward to hearing from you.

I I am Rhiannon Croker, a 23-year old English Literature graduate. I am currently studying a part-time distant MA in Humanitarian Action, whereby I liaise with group members across the world. I have a desire to learn, travel and immerse myself in different cultures. I feel as though this role is the perfect fit.

I have a 120-hour TEFL qualification, which I obtained in 2014 and since then, have taught in Romania and at an international summer school called SAMIAD in the UK. I am very experienced working directly with children, which I have gained through various work experience and volunteering. I have assisted with learning experiences when I volunteered at the Story Museum in Oxford. I helped run educational workshops for children between the ages of 4 and 10. My role was to escort the students around the exhibitions, show them how to interact with the exhibits and also run little focus groups where we wrote stories, rhymes and sang with musical instruments. Proceeding this, I helped run an arts and crafts workshop, whereby students would make informative posters about their favourite books using collages. I undertook a similar role when I volunteered at the House of Illustration in London and at the Salisbury Playhouse, whereby I designed table tops that are still present in the main foyer. Whilst at the Story Museum, I was a steward at Oxford Literary festival and also a steward on mornings dedicated to children with learning difficulties, so that they could immerse themselves in a quiet and more serene environment. I have had experience in the teaching environment, which I practiced whilst working in Romania as an English Teacher and at SAMIAD international summer school in Trent. In Romania, although the camp was comprised of mainly privileged children, the organisation sponsored some children from various orphanages. In my class I had an orphaned boy from Brasov, of whom needed a different care plan. It was my responsibility to implement this care plan and to see that it was performed, of which I managed successfully. At SAMIAD, I taught students from all over the world including China, Russia and the Ivory Coast. When I volunteered at the Salisbury Journal, I helped lead Stage 65, the internal Youth Group. This was a fun, supportive community group with young people aged 4-25. Every member was given a role within the plays. In 2017 South Wilts Mencap awarded the Salisbury Playhouse organisation the Betty Williams Award for going the extra mile for people with learning disabilities and making them feel included. Currently, I work part-time as a residential support worker with unaccompanied asylum seeking children and young care leavers, of whom are placed in semi-independent living. I encourage them to go to college, attend extra curricular and to acquire life skills, such as cooking, budgeting, travelling etc.

I am hardworking and love a challenge. Therefore, I hope that you consider me for this role.

I lived in South Korea for 2 years, teaching English at an English centre. Throughout my two years there I taught a wide range of students from early childhood, primary and secondary levels. My experience has enabled me to develop strong planning skills and adaptability. It has given me the ability to perform in high-pressured environments, in which I have always aimed to continuously strive in improving my teaching skills. Since working in an educational environment, meeting deadlines and punctuality are my number one priority, characteristics of which are vital for any successful teacher. I have experience in teaching every key skill including, speaking, listening, reading and writing. I have learnt various teaching techniques, all of which I utilise during my lessons, and I have been able to acquire and hone my classroom management skills to create a successful learning environment for my students.
My employment history has helped me communicate with everyone, no matter what age. This experience serves me well in communicating to all types of people within an educational environment and has allowed me to effectively adapt to any role that I undertake. Adapting one's teaching strategy is vital to be able to meet the student's needs.
I believe that I am a professional and highly motivated individual, dedicated to anything I do.

Greetings,

I am interested in the English teaching position. I am an
English native from America/USA and have a bachelors of science degree
in Communication. I’ve attached my photo and resume. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Over the past few years through my own travels, I have met many people who are currently working as TEFL teachers all over the world. Hearing stories of their experiences in this role has excited me into this career change. I believe that although I have not had any experience of teaching in a formal manner, through my work history I have a lot of skills that I could bring to this role, which I will detail below. I am also excited for this change in direction as I like to remove myself from my comfort zone, not only in that I have not taught before but also living in a whole new country. I thrive off arriving in a new environment and being fully immersed in the culture, food, colours, language and rituals. 2 years ago, I completed my first solo trip when I backpacked Asia for 4 months. Although filled with trials and tribulations, I came out the other side smiling and craving more. I have, for a long time, wanted to experience living and working in a new country. This would give an amazing once in a lifetime opportunity to experience a new culture in a lot more depth.
Over the past few years I have run a youth club and previously ran a holiday play scheme. Being the lead worker, I have been responsible for creating the plan for each session. When creating these plans, I have had many factors to take into consideration such as: the individual abilities of each young person, the budget available for the session, the timing of the session, how many activities need to be planned to keep the young people from getting bored and any props or resources that need to be prepared beforehand. I would then take note of which activities work well and which do not work for future planning. I also consult the young people on what activities they enjoy / don’t enjoy. I use my planning as an opportunity to create a fun and engaging environment for these young people.
With regard to my youth club, we can get anywhere up to 40 young people each week. This has meant that we have had to develop skills in managing large groups of young people. This group can display challenging behaviour which as a staff team we have had to challenge. As part of my current TEFL course, I will also cover a module on teaching large classes. While working as a support worker in a college, I supported teenagers in classes of up to 30 students.
While working as a crisis / family intervention worker, I worked with families from other continents. This was an interesting contrast to the other families I worked with, as I would have to take on board their own cultures and experiences when developing my session plans. I also had the experience through working with these families, to work with people whose English was very limited. Although this was a challenge, I would adapt my working processes to ensure that they understood what I was discussing. One example of this can be seen with a family from Afghanistan, the mother had very limited English-speaking skills. I would therefore use a lot of demonstrations, visual props and explaining things in simple terms as tools to aid in understanding. I really enjoyed making a range of props and visual cues for all of the families that I worked with at this time, including a 3D bedtime reward chart for a visually impaired family, and a ‘busy bag’ full of spelling activities (made from print outs, clothing pegs, lolly pop sticks etc) for an autistic child who struggled to concentrate when doing extra learning at home.
I have previously worked as a support worker in a college. I supported a first-year childcare and first year plastering class, with class work, understanding the course material, challenging behaviour and preventing bullying. Through this role I supported the teacher is reading out materials, and ensuring the young people understood the task given through concept checking. I would also support the young people in reading the course material, providing examples to help with insight, support with practical tasks and writing skills. Whilst at college I also volunteered to be a reading mentor for year 8 students who were struggling with their reading skills. This involved encouraging the young people to read through materials, working on pronunciation and supporting at points in which they struggle.
Furthermore, I can work as a valued member of a team going beyond the needed expectations in order to complete the task to the best possible standard, I also enjoy contributing ideas. I work efficiently as an individual and can show the initiative to do so. I am very flexible on how I carry out a task at hand, taking a person-centred approach to ensure the client’s needs are met. I enjoy learning new things and would be enthusiastic about further training. In addition, I would take feedback on board to help self-improve, asking for guidance when unsure. I also strongly believe in equality and diversity with a distinct view that everyone should be treated with respect and not judged, giving each individual the same level of care and commitment. Additionally, I am very good at time-to-work planning, meeting all deadlines set in place. I like to keep myself organized and plan ahead.

I'm a qualified teacher and had the privilege to teach English for 3 years in Taiwan. I have a passion for teaching and helping students to improve their learning abilities. I'm adventures and flexible and easily adjust to new circumstances. I'm eager to make a difference to student's meaningful learning and to apply methods to enhance their learning. I also just now completed a TEFL Level 5 Course. I believe that a person should be a life long learner and always be ready to learn more.
