ESL Teachers

My previous workplace experience ensured that I developed strong time management and communication skills, and an ability to resolve interpersonal conflict. An example of how I utilized and developed these skills is the kennels is assisted in managing, there was a strict schedule that had each job organised down to the hour it had to be completed by. I was in charge of ensuring that all staff in every building, including myself remained on schedule and that the tasks were completed properly.
I have experience in demanding work environments which has given me the ability to manage stress effectively and remain calm. This is especially useful when working with children, as I have done in the past when working in a stables where children's pony clubs, summer camps and lessons are done on a regular schedule. I have found that children respond best to someone who is cheerful but remains calm and clear.
I am very independent which makes it much easier for me to travel away from home for extended periods of time. However I also enjoy working as part of a team, my work in the stables relied on having a team who worked together effectively and helped me develop a good capacity to work cohesively with others. I enjoy setting challenges and strong goals for myself, it ensures that I achieve any goals set out by my employer and that I am more than willing to take on extra work or projects.

My teaching experience includes working in China for nearly three years. With my first job in Beijing I worked for an English training school and Kindergarten. I then worked for Beijing Royal Foreign Language School, a top international boarding private school. My teaching experience there has been with large classes in grades 2,3 and 5. I also helped run the schools ‘’Global Scholars’’ program, with grades 5 and 6.

Following on from this I worked as a homeroom teacher in Seoul at YBM PSA. Here I got to experience the more hands on elements of homeroom teaching and together with my two Korean colleagues thought a class of 20 students. This also afforded me the opportunity to teach new subjects. After completing my time in Korea I returned to BRS to teach grade 5 for another year.

My continual training and work in both these schools in China and my experience in Korea has given me a very good grasp of the key mechanism for teaching through English as a foreign language, and how to best apply these in a classroom environment.

I have also previously worked in the Irish Military. My experiences in the Irish Defence Forces have great relevance to teaching in China, as they have instilled in me a great sense of personal responsibility and high standards of professional and personal conduct. My time in the army also provided me with many opportunities to give History lectures.

With my teaching I hope to maximize my student’s individual performance while simultaneously providing an engaging and enjoyable classroom experience. Hopefully my teaching will inspire their passion for learning, encourage their personal growth and further their professional aspirations.

I am very passionate towards students’ education, progress and development. I have always wanted to see students improving and developing their skills in areas I could help them with, and I believe that with being an English teacher I would be able to give the students my best in order to see them develop valuable skills for their future. I have experience in tutoring students from elementary to high school online. I also have experience in teaching through a volunteering program, where I taught students ages form 8-13 years old general English in South Korea. As for other experiences, I taught elementary level adult students general English in order to satisfy the requirements of my Diploma of TESOL.

I originally become interested in teaching when I was in college with the goal of becoming an ESL teacher. I started my career in a sales position and progressed to more ‘hands on’ educational and serviceable roles supporting sellers within my organization. However, I have always found myself volunteering with children in and out of classrooms through various programs. I’ve helped teach classrooms of children, mentored high schoolers and taught kindergarteners through my church’s Sunday school program. I am certain my business and volunteer experience will provide a unique professional, structured and playful environment conducive to effective learning with students.

As a teacher of English as a Second Language, I will provide a motivational, structured and fun environment with meaningful language learning that is able to address the strengths and weaknesses of each student.

I have recently graduated university with a Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree and a 150-hour TEFL qualification.

During my time at university, I believe that I have developed strong communication skills, both on an individual basis and as a team player, through many presentations and events that I took part in. Through my university assignments I have learnt to have good time management skills and good knowledge of written and spoken English. I am computer literate with a variety of different software. I have the abilities to work independently and in a group setting.

Throughout my time at university I held a few different employment roles, which have helped to build my confidence. These roles have been customer facing so were variable and unpredictable. Having to problem solve any issues, as well as making sure that I completed all the tasks for the day. Time management skills and being punctual were a very important part of theses roles.

For the past two years, I have been volunteering with a local Girlguiding UK Brownie group with children aged 6 – 11. I work closely with the leader to plan and run all the weekly activities, incorporating the general programme set by the organisation. Working with this age group has really boosted my ability and confidence to deal with any situation that presents and thinking on my feet, as activities with this age group, often do not go to plan.

I believe that with these combined skills and experiences, I would provide a positive contribution to your school.

I am an energetic, friendly and motivated individual who enjoys sharing her knowledge with others.

I don't have much experience in the teaching industry, however I did spend a week as a teaching assistant in a primary school in the UK in 2013. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and have since been interested in pursuing this.

I believe that some of my skills would be well suited to your company.

Creating a new planner is a new experience for me, however, after completing my certification I can create effective teaching planners that will cater to students of every English proficiency level. I have received my 120 Hours TESOL certification from The International Open Academy, founded in Dublin, Ireland. As an ESL teacher, I can select certain materials that would be beneficial to the student and help correct issues that they struggle with.

As a full-time student and an English major, I have been able to create many detailed and thorough essays, creative writing, presentations, and powerpoints that have helped me to be able to organize my work and closely read what the underlying themes of the essay are. I would harness the same skills in my teaching to identify learning material, organize them in my teaching planner, and effectively use it in the classroom.

I have been on the Equestrian team at Wesleyan College for 3 years and learned the essentials for being a team player, identifying nonverbal communication, and using verbal communication. These skills are important in order to be able to work as a team for your company and have effective team building. I am good at working under pressure and the ability to interact with many different people.

As requested I have attached a copy of my résumé. I look forward to hearing from you and I am very appreciative for this job opportunity. Thank you for your consideration.
