ESL Teachers

I am a native English speaking British citizen. I am also a native speaker in German and Tamil. I have completed a 168 hour TEFL course recently.

I am passionate about traveling and learning about new cultures. Visiting South Korea last year has inspired me to apply for a teaching position in Korea to pursue my career in teaching as well as learn more about the Korean culture. Over the last 10 years, I have worked with children and young adults in various settings. I enjoy working with students to help them to efficiently learn and look forward to creating exciting and engaging lessons to motivate them.

Past Experience:

2017 – 2018 Engagement Coordinator
Deliver and facilitate high quality, engaging presentations and PSHE sessions to a group of up to 250 students during school assembly in mainstream schools, SEN schools and colleges.

2016 – 2017 Senior Mentor/Assistant Programme Manager
As a Senior mentor, my role was to lead, inspire and pastorally care for a team of up to 12 participants (aged 15-17), ensuring their safety and assisting their personal development through 18 days of intense activities. Work alongside other members of staff to ensure that all young people in the team are engaged and fully participating in all activities. Facilitate and tailor curriculum sessions to the team in an engaging and inspiring way. Lead visits to community partners/charities to deliver social action projects.

2012 – 2013 Trained Volunteer – Victim Support
As a trained volunteer, I provided emotional support to victims of crime on the support line as well as in person. Additional work includes advocating on behalf of victims with other organisations, and working closely with support workers. Trained in Hate Crime, Disability Awareness and Mental Health Awareness.

2011 – present Private Tutor (part-time)
In my spare time I have been tutoring A-level students in Psychology and German to prepare them for their final exams.

2006 – present Tamil Teacher (4 hours every Saturday)
Teach children and young adults (aged 5 – 17) Tamil. This involves teaching them how to speak, listen, read and write the language at various levels ranging from beginner to A-level students.

I am confident in speaking to people one-on-one or to large groups of people, which I believe will help me to be an enthusiastic and effective teacher. My previous work as a swimming instructor, camp group leader and lifeguard has given me plenty of experience interacting with and educating children of all age groups. This experience has given me a foundation of skills in communication and organisation which I hope to build upon by teaching English as a foreign language. Furthermore, my time spent volunteering at a student helpline has given me a deeper understanding of the struggles many students face during their time in education, meaning that I am aware that teachers not only have educational responsibilities, but pastoral responsibilities to their students. With a good balance of energy and empathy, I am confident that I can be a successful teacher to my students and a valuable asset to my employers.

I am a master’s degree educated, qualified EFL teacher with over 10 years’ experience working with children and young adults in various settings. I enjoy being creative and am also keen to use this creativity and my passion to create stimulating lessons to inspire a class. Introspective and lively, I have a variety of outside interests and remain committed to improving my teaching skills further and contributing to the success of the school. I am a bubbly individual always smiling and positive. I believe that my strength lies in being able to motivate all types of students to study hard and achieve their best.

Although I have never been to Korea, I grew up in Angola as a 'third culture kid', with Portuguese as my second language. I grew up reading books and have wanted to teach English from a young age. I'm outgoing, well-spoken and have a fairly neutral accent on account of my upbringing. Having received my Bachelors at a university in the UK I'm eager to pursue new experiences, and because of my ongoing passion for reading and writing, the opportunity afforded by TEFL academy to travel and teach English seems like a dream come true.

I do not have any experience as I have recently graduated. I am an open hearted and minded person that can be loud at times. I enjoy being around people. I am computer literate, I have good written and verbal communication skills. I also possess good management and time management skills.

I have completed a 120 hour TEFL course, as well as two additional advanced grammar and teaching young learners courses. In the past, I've had experience being an assistant for my prior horseback riding instructor and helped her instruct young children to properly ride the horses.

I have a high energy personality well suited for handling smaller children and an energetic, yet patient, attitude to match. In the past, I've done well matching the energy of children, while also managing safety and varying attitudes

Dear Sir/Madam,

It is with great enthusiasm that I submit my cv in consideration for possible teaching positions you may have currently or in the future. I have a Bachelor Degree in Fashion Design, from De Montfort University and a TEFL certification, (120 hours). I am also First Aid Trained.

As a highly compassionate and approachable teaching professional, I am confident in my ability to become a valuable member of your teaching staff.
Through my previous employment experience, I have instructed a wide variety of students from various backgrounds and cultures. As a result, I believe I am someone who is very understanding and sensitive to students’ needs. My previous experience has also allowed me to develop effective listening and lesson planning skills which will ultimately allow students to keep focused and motivated.

One of the ways I plan to assist ESL students is by developing and presenting comprehensible and stimulating lesson plans that facilitate all learning styles. I research, incorporate and locate a variety of resources to accommodate students via visual, audio, tactile and kinesthetic methods.

My goal is to foster and maintain an open, honest, communicative and supportive classroom, in which each students feel safe, secure, special, and appropriately challenged.

I would enjoy the opportunity to have an interview in order to discuss how my diverse skills outlined in my cv. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Bijal Bhundia.

I am looking forward to immerse myself into the culture of my host country, developing long life relationship and adding value to the lives of my potential students regardless of their age and where they are in life, while bearing in my mind that it is my responsibility to be culturally sensitive, courteous and empathetic at all times.

My live for the receiving and sharing of information and knowledge, and linguistics is the best way to do so.

My previous experience in auditing appealed to my logical aand analytical side, my current work as an ESL teacher requires me to be emphathetic, patient, focused and a life coach of some sort to students who are young and lack confidence. Learning to adapt lessons and approaches to the majority of students will be the best skill I have obtained.

The experience of studying abroad for a year is my greatest asset as it gave me the opportunity to embrace and adapt to a different culture and environment. I took many classes which focused on teamwork and group presentations which allowed me to demonstrate how to communicate effectively and overcome conflict, as well as planning ahead and ensuring work was completed on time.

Being a good listener is a strength of mine as I believe observation is key when it comes to teaching because successful classes should be tailored around the students needs. I am also very energetic and friendly, especially around children, as I believe they should always feel comfortable around an adult; but more importantly, because teaching and learning should both be fun. I am open to learning new languages which is why I would love to be able to teach English to those willing to learn, as I believe this is the best way to meet new people and see more of the world.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I was excited to find your posting for an English as a Second Language teacher. I strongly identify with the goal of cross-cultural communication and global citizenship. I am confident that I would make an excellent addition to your teaching team because of my passion for helping students, my teaching and cultural experiences, and my TEFL qualifications.
I tutored English and science to beginner, intermediate, and advanced students of various cultural and linguistic backgrounds in Scotland. I earned my TEFL certification after completing a Level 5 140-hour course. Through my teaching experiences and TEFL studies, I developed critical pedagogic and classroom management skills, along with a passion for teaching English.
I'm equipped with the Communicative Teaching Method, I apply this method in the classroom through interactive, student-centred activities that maximize “student talk time.” I scaffold my lessons so that they include pair and group work, as well as movement around the classroom. By engaging students in speaking, grammar, writing, listening, and reading and appealing to diverse learning styles, I help them improve their accuracy and fluency across key skill areas.
I understand both the excitement and the challenges that accompany learning a new language and living abroad. In my classes, I typically set aside five to ten minutes at the start of each class for students to share their “highs” and “lows” for the week, an activity that my students have appreciated as they adapted to new surroundings. I aim to support students’ social-emotional well-being as they learn English and deepen their global awareness.
I look forward to speaking with you to discuss your specific needs and my ability to meet them. I'd be thrilled to join a team of globally-minded educators dedicated to high-quality language instruction. Please feel free to contact me at 07730270443 or zohaibzahid1@gmail.com. Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Zohaib Zahid
