ESL Teachers

While I do not yet have extensive teaching experience, I spent four weeks in Bali in August 2025 volunteering as an English teacher to children aged 5-11. This gave me valuable practical experience in planning lessons and adapting learning activities to different abilities. I also believe that my background working in healthcare has given me strong transferrable skills that would be highly beneficial in a teaching role. These experiences have strengthened my creativity, problem-solving skills and ability to adapt quickly to changing situations – all of which are essential when planning and delivering lessons.

In terms of personality, I am patient, empathetic and approachable and work well in environments where building relationships and communication are important. I am also eager to learn and confident that I would adapt quickly to this new role and be contribute positively to the classroom environment.

I’m good at customer service, team work, as well as working in a fast paced environment. I grew up with 3 younger siblings so I’m good with kids. I’m physically fit and I enjoy dancing, painting, and singing.

I am writing to express my enthusiastic interest in the ESL Teacher position at your school. With a
professional background spanning both in academic instruction and professional media, I offer a
unique combination of classroom precision and high-energy student engagement.
During my time as a teacher at Primrose Galleria, a premier American preparatory school, I was
responsible for delivering high-level curriculum centered on literacy, STEM, and character growth.
My approach focuses on maintaining a structured academic atmosphere where students are
encouraged to surpass standard developmental goals.
What further sets me apart is my 4-year tenure as a Creative Project Manager for a news/TV
station. My media experience allows me to lead a classroom with the authority and storytelling
required to keep students captivated. Whether I am tailoring a lesson to help a student master
letter formation or connecting classroom topics to the real world, I strive to make learning English
a lived experience. I have even heard my students independently recite their lessons while playing
outside on the playground!
I am skilled in:
• Classroom Leadership: Building a safe, organized, and high-achieving learning space.
• Dynamic Engagement: Leveraging my energy and storytelling background to maintain student
focus.
• Collaborative Communication: Working alongside parents and leadership to ensure learning
goals are met both in and out of the classroom.
I am confident that my work ethic and communication skills will make me a valuable asset to your
faculty. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Keirra Ewah-Washington
