ESL Teachers

I am a hardworking, reliable and passionate professional with experience supporting international students and tutoring students of different ages. I have a degree in English and a TEFL certificate.

I am writing to express my interest in an English teaching position in South Korea. With a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and a focus in Communications, a 120-hour TEFL certification, and over eight years of experience in communication-driven roles, I bring a strong foundation in engagement, adaptability, and interpersonal connection that translates naturally into the classroom.

Throughout my professional career, I have developed the ability to communicate clearly, build trust quickly, and create structured yet welcoming environments for diverse groups of people. In my role as a Front-of-House Lead and Event Coordinator, I regularly worked with individuals from various cultural backgrounds, adapting my communication style to ensure clarity, comfort, and positive engagement. These experiences have prepared me to foster inclusive and supportive learning environments for students.

My background in training and mentoring team members has strengthened my ability to guide learners, break down complex ideas into accessible concepts, and encourage participation. I am particularly passionate about helping students build confidence in their English abilities through interactive and engaging lessons.

I am especially drawn to South Korea’s commitment to education and cultural exchange through programs such as EPIK and private academies. I am eager to contribute to a school community where I can support student development while also growing as an educator in an international setting.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my skills and enthusiasm can contribute to schools in South Korea.

Dear GLOII Job Consulting Team,

I am writing to you to apply for the English teacher position.

I have experience teaching English in Vietnam and Japan. In Vietnam, I taught for a semester in elementary, middle, and high schools. In Japan, I taught in elementary schools for one year. I gained experience in teaching in varied settings to different ages. I worked successfully alongside other teachers, as well as by myself, to provide engaging lessons for learners of varied abilities.

I find it extremely rewarding being among, and learning from, people from different backgrounds and cultures to my own. Travelling and working among people from different countries is something that is very important to me and, through my many and varied work experiences, I realise that finding ways to engage positively with young people is going to be something I would like to continue throughout my life.

During my time coaching sport in South Africa and America, I enjoyed working as part of teams made up of diverse groups of people from all over the world. I am very experienced at and capable of fitting into a team and contributing to it. From my time spent playing sport and working as a PE teacher and football coach, I appreciate the importance of teamwork and cooperation in achieving a goal.

I greatly enjoy teaching English. My desire to do so has increased since working as an English teacher in Vietnam and Japan. I would now very much like to further test and develop my English teaching skills in Korea.

From my merchandise vending and front of house roles I have developed strong skills in communicating effectively with clients and potential customers in a high pressure and sometimes challenging setting. I enjoy being the face of my team in demanding environments. I am adept at quickly forming positive working relationships with individuals from all backgrounds.

During my time in teaching and in hospitality, I strengthened my ability to maintain my sense of humour during trying circumstances. This enables me to cooperate effectively regardless of pressure. I also developed diligence in my work ethic, as I built my skills in understanding, managing, and exceeding clients’ expectations.

I hope that this letter expresses how excited I am at the possibility of working for you in Korea, and how I think I would be a strong asset to your team.

Yours sincerely,

Samuel Lodge

I am a certified teacher currently completing my Master of Education while working as an occasional teacher in a variety of classroom settings. My experiences have strengthened my adaptability, communication, and ability to build strong relationships with diverse groups of people. I hold a degree in English, which has developed my critical thinking, analytical writing, and ability to clearly express complex ideas. In addition to my academic background, I competed in soccer at the university level and internationally, experiences that shaped my discipline, resilience, and teamwork. Navigating both academic and athletic environments has made me comfortable working under pressure and adjusting to new challenges. I have often found myself in spaces where I was underrepresented, which has contributed to my self-awareness, perspective, and ability to connect with others from different backgrounds. I am thoughtful and reflective in my approach, and I value continuous growth both personally and professionally. Overall, I am someone who is driven, adaptable, and committed to developing both my skills and the communities I am part of.

Hello, my name is Ava Nolan, I am 26 and I am a fully qualified primary school teacher from Ireland. I graduated from Dublin City University in 2022 with a Bachelor of Education. I have a deep interest in learning about the world around me, I have spent the past year travelling around Asia and Australia and I love to meet new people and to learn about new places, cultures and traditions.

I specialised in Drama Education while I was in university. I regularly integrate drama education into many different subject areas as I find that can be a meaningful and creative lens to access learning through.

I have a strong interest in teaching English and bring valuable experience in supporting with students for whom English is an additional language.

Greetings to everyone, my name is Tai Talbot. I graduated from Delaware State University with a degree in Political Science. I would describe myself as cheerful, resilient when faced with hardships, and leading each day in positivity. Since I was young, I have always been passionate about helping others. I volunteered overseas where I visited an orphanage in 2019 and got to instruct lessons with at-risk youth. That experience encouraged me to pursue charity as well as working in areas that support children. My fellow peers have said I would be a good fit as a teacher some day, which has encouraged me further to consider a career as an English teacher.

It is truly my biggest dream to help others around me especially children, and I believe I will have the chance to do that at GLOII. If I am chosen, I will strive to fulfill this role with care and responsibility and become a crucial part of the team. Thank you for considering my application as a teacher with your company.
