ESL Teachers

I am a citizen of the United States with a Bachelor's Degree as well as a 120 hour TEFL certificate. I have my necessary E2 documents (apostilled diploma & background check) ready.

I believe I would be a good teacher because I'm a responsible professional who knows how to be nice and patient when someone is struggling with a language. I would be sure to correct mistakes in a polite way that makes sure they're still willing to keep at it.

I have been living and working in Iksan, South Korea as an English teacher for the past seven years. I have worked in both public elementary/middle schools and private hagwons. I think working in all different types of schools has helped to make me a well balanced teacher who is patient, hard working and creative when producing and presenting lessons. I have worked with students from age 6-19 and I have learned a lot about tweaking a lesson plan to suit different types or ages of students.

I am a qualified Teacher of English as a Foreign Language with many years of experience working in Korean and Japanese schools and academies as a native English Teacher. I have worked with kindergarten, elementary, middle-school and adult students. I am comfortable working in front of a class, and of tutoring students one-on-one. I am determined to develop my teaching skills further, and of learning new teaching methods for use in the classroom. I seek new challenges and greater responsibilities in my teaching career.

Experience: I tutored English to university students. I have developed Economic content for tests, assignments, and exams for college students. I have also taught dance to kids from the age of 6 – 18, and adults.

Personality: I am friendly, approachable, optimistic, patient and energetic.

Skills: I have studied overseas which has extended my horizons and enabled me to adapt to almost any environment. I am a quick learner and enjoy immersing myself in different cultures.

Describe your skills by explaining what you learned, what results you achieved, the projects you worked on etc. This description enables you to show off your experience and helps employers get a better understanding of you.

I am a passionate teacher who makes sure that every student in the class, no matter their level, is always learning. I’m youthful and energetic, always trying to improve whatever I get involved in. In the fourteen years and one term at Kamo High School, I always taught the top Year 12 math class. According to my H o D, I was given this class because the results of the class were always excellent. These results were obtained by teaching to a high level and always expecting the students to reach these high standards.
Also, during my second year there I initiated Wednesday after school tuition to three or four students in the library. By the time I left this had grown to about twenty students each Wednesday up in one of the math department classrooms with two or three teachers involved.
Throughout my teaching I was often involved in professional development such as Restorative Practice training, Te Kotahitanga, a program developed to help improve Maori academic performance as well as Teacher Effectiveness Training.

During five years in Wellington and two years in Ottawa I was involved in voluntary telephone counselling, usually putting in about 14 hours work each four-week roster cycle. While living in Ottawa for four and a half years I completed the equivalent of an additional BA in psychology extramurally through the University of Waterloo.

I am a flexible and attentive ESL teacher with excellent communication skills, with close to 8 years teaching experience in South Korea. I am organized and driven with the innate ability to stay on task. Uses effective and efficient methods of teaching while focusing on the individual needs of each student.

I am a very animated person, which means I use bodily expressions to emphasize a concept and that is why I was a successful teacher with pupils at a young age. In other words I dramatize words and sentences and use music to emphasize what I am teaching. I haven't mentioned this on my resume, but I was a singer for a little while with a band in Washington D.C.

I have written two books so far. I haven't published my first one, although I have been accepted by one publisher. I wasn't proud of my work, so I decided to embark on a new venture by writing another book that I am planning on publishing once I have completely edited my work. Essentially, I am a writer which will add value to students as I can use that skill to help them develop stories.

I am also very diplomatic, honest, and friendly. I have been offered a position as a client relations representative when I was a journalist because of how customers really liked me, so I would end this by saying I excel in customer service, which translates to a skill I have whereby I can manage relationships and mediate with mothers and staff members.

I have esl exp. in China three times.My co-teachers and students enjoyed and anticipated my lectures.My interpersonal experiences shared and received well.Having traveled extensively in Asia gives me an insight into family dynamics that enhance my acceptability.I love the respect offered to the family and the elderly and share that value.My vocabulary and grammer leave little room for misunderstanding.

I am a reliable, friendly individual who is outgoing and hard working with good time management, communication and organisational skills. I am able to act on my own initiative or work well as part of a team as I am able to build a good rapport with others. I throughly enjoy taking opportunities and new experiences when they present themselves and I like to face challenges head-on with a positive attitude. I have ICT skills with Apple iWork and Microsoft Office.

During my final year of high school, I trained through CCEA (Council for the Curriculum, Examinations & Assessment) to become a Reading Partner to mentor younger pupils (aged 11-12) in their reading & English skills. In my final year of university, I was a StAR (Student Academic Representative) for the English department.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing and listening to music. I collect vinyl records and early editions of novels. I have a keen interest in history, psychology and mythology as well as learning to understand other languages and cultures by reading books in another language and listening to foreign music. I also enjoy travelling, going for walks with my dogs, spin classes and dance cardio workouts to keep healthy and spending time outdoors when I am not working and studying.

I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature with Drama and Theatre Studies in July 2018 and my TEFL course in December 2018.
