ESL Teachers

My goal is to provide an enriching and fulfilling educational experience to any student that I may have, and i believe i have the skills to do so. I excel at managing multiple tasks at once, and resolving them in an efficient manner. My work experience as an assistant manager of a retail nursery has given me the skills needed to effectively coordinate and motivate those around me to succeed. I am hardworking and willing to go above and beyond my responsibilities to ensure that anything that I do is of impeccable quality. I am formally educated, having achieved a Bachelors of Arts from a California State University, as well as specifically trained for this job, having already received a 120 hour TEFL certification. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello,
My name is Anna Munoz Rodriguez and I'm from San Antonio Texas, where I was born and raised.
I recently graduated from The University of Texas at San Antonio with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management. I have also completed a 200 hour TEFL Program (which includes teaching Young Learners and Business English), 20 hours of which are in-class hours. I also have a 30 hour certificate teaching English Online.

I don't have a lot of teaching experience. However, I recently started teaching English classes to adults at the Center for Refugee Services. I also began teaching English classes online to children located in China. Outside of my teaching hours, I work part time at the university I graduated from. Here, I am an administrative associate/receptionist where I handle a majority of student requests (and questions).
When I am not teaching, or working, I am usually reading or writing. I also take Korean Language classes (every Saturday!) at the Cultural Center near my house.

I am a hard-working, determined individual and I am more than confident in my abilities to teach at your school. I look forward to meeting you!

My desired location is Itaewon(Seoul)/Seoul, but I can be flexible with my location for the right school.

Even though I was born in Spain I hold a British passport – as both my parents are English. I have always
spoken English at home and I have spent every summer in the UK visiting family. I went to school in Spain and so I had to attend English classes with my classmates (even though I already spoke English at home), this gave me the advantage of seeing and understanding how English is taught to non-English speakers. I also gave English classes to children who needed extra support (children from 9 to 16 years old) as well as more mature students.
I am friendly, amiable, hardworking and creative.
I love to experience new things – I lived in Italy for a year and I have lived this past year in England doing my Master's Degree.

TEFL Position

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am excited to begin my journey as a TEFL teacher. I am a native English Speaker with a South African accent.

I have graduated from the University of Cape Town with a Bachelors of Social Sciences qualification in 2019. I also received my 140 hour TEFL  certification in July 2019.

Through my experiences I feel that teaching kindergarten learners would be the best position for me. I love being creative and making my lessons fun through colorful and interactive activities. I would love to be able to enrich young minds, helping them to better themselves, making life more accessible to my students.  I am confident as an educator and believe I am approachable and easy to talk to, which I feel is key to creating a good learning environment as well as being able to build a strong and trusting relationship with my students.

East Asia has always been on my travel list and being able to teach there would be a dream come true. I am recently married, with my wife and I having TEFL qualifications, it would be wonderful to teach together and start our TEFL careers together.

I appreciate your consideration, I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Faithfully,

Abdullah Khatieb

Hello,

I'm currently looking for (single) teaching positions in Korea, starting ASAP (or in the near future), with my preference being in Seoul; I was wondering if you had any suitable positions available.

I'm a native speaker, recent graduate and additionally I have completed a 120hour TEFL course. I have all my documents ready to go (including Bachelors Degree with apostille, Criminal record check with apostille and sealed university transcripts). This would be my first teaching role but I have held professional management roles, worked with the public and worked effectively as part of teams for many years now. I'm hard working, confident, plan ahead and I'm used to delivering to high standards. The chance to work in Korea and bring out the best in a classroom of students is a challenge that I look forward to.

I'm currently in the UK, so don't yet have a Korean visa but I'm ready to move upon confirmation of job, as soon as I am needed. If you're interested I can also forward any documents needed. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Kind Regards,

Jamie Ogle

Hello,

My name is Max Manayan and I have recently graduated from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I am looking to teach English in a Seoul hagwon for a year while I apply to graduate school. I have no formal teaching experience, but seeing as I have not been too far removed from the classroom setting, I believe I will be able to learn the ropes of teaching.

I spent the Spring semester of 2019 studying at Korea University in Anam and was able to familiarize myself with the culture. I appreciated every moment spent and would love to have the priviledge of returning to Seoul! In terms of skills, I have experience in both molecular biological and ecological research. I am interested in understanding the fundamentals of teaching, because I believe is an valuable skill applicable to any situation. Thus, I would love the opportunity to gain some real world experience in this coming year.

Thank you for your time,
Max Manayan

My philosophy of education is that all people are unique and this uniqueness creates a unique community in every classroom with a positive attitude, open minded, encouraging and ultimately inspiring, which makes a stimulating educational environment where students can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially where they can meet their full potential.
To achieve this there we have to keep it simple by keeping instructions clear and checking for student understanding, this way we can be sure that they know what must be done.
Giving them lots of time to practice makes them comfortable to use by talking and writing the language, using positive reinforcement remarks and celebrating student accomplishments also boosts their confidence.
I have a strong sense of making life and work easier for people working under difficult conditions with a tendency of seeing complexities of situations with a very selective behaviour pattern, making things simple which I like to believe is a good habit of quality control. I find it challenging to give something of importance for others to do; I tend to rather do it myself because of the highly developed level of competency. Change within the normal frameworks of work and life in general is something I handle very positively especially when there is a good reason behind the change. I have a very cautious but positive approach to new ideas and technologies, in a sense that if the new realities are convincing and realistic it is easy for me to adapt to them. I always push for a positive change by making myself available to actively work towards a better reality for all, becoming actively assertive to getting things done with structure and control measures.
I believe with the nature of my international work experience in India, which involved a great deal of learning, research, self-motivation, thinking outside the box and a wide range of skills, an understanding of industries was essentially given, so I can utilize my experience and skills to be well adept in this position I am applying for.

I do not have any direct experience with regards to education but have been heavily involved in working with children throughout my life. Potentially my best experience was as a first-year class mentor in secondary school. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting up weekly with the first-year students to talk about problems they were having in the year. It was our goal to ensure the switch from primary to secondary school was as seamless and as unintimidating as possible. We eventually became good friends with the younger students which they said allowed them to adjust easier to their new student life.

Apart from this I have babysat younger kids on many occasions as well as assisted my mam in her job as a physiotherapist by dealing with kids with physical and intellectual disabilities.

I am a naturally welcoming person and strive to be inclusive of everyone. I like to think that I present myself in a respectful and confident manner.

I have worked hard throughout my life to ensure that I achieve my fullest potential. My work ethic and determination has been commended during my various employments. This included work as a labourer in New York and Vancouver, a waiter working for a catering service and finally during two internships with Pfizer.

During these various jobs my communication and interpersonal skills improved greatly.
I have the utmost confidence that I will apply myself to a teaching job in a similar manner. I can ensure you that you will be satisfied with my employment.

I enjoy learning foreign languages. I started with French and took French for 5 years and even did French immersion in Quebec. I use my skills from learning my foreign languages to better understand my friends who have trouble with speaking or writing in English. Learning foreign languages has changed my view on how I look at the English language and how to present the way I speak and write to non-English speakers.

I am a highly passionate English literature graduate with 2 and a half years of
classroom experience alongside a TrinityCert TESOL certificate that I gained while studying at the English Teacher Training College in Austria. While studying there I was introduced to, and immersed in, a wide variety of educational theories and methodologies. My theoretical background in education was then complemented during my time in Austria where I was privileged enough to be given the opportunity to teach a widely divergent set of students that encompassed beginner level students to upper-intermediate level students (A1-B2 on the Common European Framework). In order to meet the language learning needs of such a disparate and contrasting set of learners I had to refine, adapt and successfully apply the methodologies I was introduced to. This experience has given me a rich grounding in education which has been perfectly complemented by my time at First Leap in China where my pre-existing theoretical knowledge has allowed me to successfully navigate the problems I faced in applying teaching methodologies to new students that have different learning needs, and possess a different linguistic structure than what I was previously exposed to when I gained my teaching qualification.

After a year and a half teaching for a nationally expanding teaching company in China – First Leap – I was awarded a promotion to Teacher Advisor after attending a rigorous management-based training course administered by my company. As a Teacher Advisor, I am responsible for the professional development of all teachers in four First Leap centers across Beijing. As a part of my role, I utilise my theoretical and practical teaching knowledge in one-to-one and group training while administering assessments of teachers to establish a consistently high level of teaching quality across the region.

Throughout my employment history in Austria and China I have proved I am very adaptable to new cultures, and I am ready to immerse myself in a new compelling culture to continue my personal and professional development.
