ESL Teachers

I have obtained a Masters degree in Law from the University of Strasbourg.

I am also a qualified TEFL instructor (Teach English as a foreign language). Having recently obtained my TEFL certificate I am eager to gain some experience in teaching English in a more practical way.

Having Irish and French nationality, I speak both English and French fluently.

Apart from being a conscientious, diligent, discreet and loyal person, I am a team worker who also works well independently and can deliver projects on time.

As a naturally enthusiastic and optimistic person who has worked in a variety of jobs and industries for the past 10 years, I have acquired a broad set of skills that equip me with the right tools to be a successful ESL teacher. My time working in the hospitality industry, from corporate driven to community owned organisations, gave me the opportunity express myself in a variety of roles including cook, bar man and waiter, which is evidence of my adaptability. Here I developed important interpersonal communication skills, working as part of a team in high intensity, quality-driven environments. As a sociable and courteous person, developing a good rapport with customers and colleague came naturally to me. My job role as an organic farming project manager in a sustainability NGO in India was highly autonomous in nature which developed my initiative; coupled with low-resource availability it allowed me to exhibit intuition and creativity. I showed flexibility and a willingness to be responsible when I took up coordinator positions at both centre and cross-regional project level, in which I assessed and evaluated project development and managed and mediated fellow interns. My time in India exposed me to an assortment of cultural and social norms different to my own as I engaged and collaborated with various sects of society. As a considerate and curious person this enhanced my cultural sensitivity and awareness which further aided me in communicating and working across cultural, social and linguistic barriers. Some of the projects I worked on in India included teaching in the classroom taught me aspects of classroom management. Finally, my achievement of a high 2:1 at the University of Leeds (founding member of Russel group – top 24 U.K universities) demonstrates my diligence and required acute time management to succeed.

Since the age of 15 I have had a large variety of part-time jobs which has enabled me to acquire a wide range of useful skills that can be applied to teaching. My ongoing job working as a bar supervisor involves communicating effectively with my team to ensure excellent customer service is delivered. Management of staff requires me to be flexible and adaptable to ensure the expectations of the team are met, even under high pressured situations. I remain patient when teaching new staff about the job role and I'm always friendly and willing to help with any questions or problems they might encounter. I also have experience as a teaching assistant in a UK nursery school. This involved interacting with the children to help them develop reading, writing and numeracy skills but also aiding the teachers with creative lesson plans to keep the children engaged. I thrived in this environment as I'm a very enthusiastic and optimistic person which enabled the children to be motivated to learn. Achieving a first-class honours in my master’s degree demonstrates that I am extremely hardworking but also can effectively plan and manage my time. I also studied in Australia for my third year of University which required me to be very independent and confident in a completely new situation.

I have a BA Hons in Theatre Arts (Acting), and several summer camps for children with a local church as well as work experience in a primary school during my secondary school and university years. I have participated in many theatre productions, inside and outside of school and university, not only as an actor but production roles as well. I performed for seven weeks at the MAC theatre in Belfast with professional children’s theatre company, Cahoots NI where we performed an original musical Henry the Incredible Book eating Boy. As Captain to my school’s hockey team for two years, I have strong leadership skills and teamworking skills which came into practice when I completed my Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme in 2010. As doing 120+ hour TEFL course with TEFL.org , I developed the skills to not only teach English to all ages but how to do so in an relaxed yet exciting environment that the students will be happy to learn in.

As noted in my C.V, my competencies and capabilities are strongly in line with the requirements to be an EFL teacher. I would believe myself to be a determined and strong willed person but I can also show patience and understanding. I am an outgoing and adventurous individual and I enjoy going places with my family and friends. I am a committed team player and enjoy working with people from all different communities and cultures; my work in Ryanair allows and enables me to become friends with people from all over the world. I have many hobbies including singing, acting, dancing and reading and travelling abroad. In total, I believe my experience will allow me to be of great service to any school in South Korea.

My name is Megan Stone and I am 24 years old. I have a BSc in Medical Genetics from Queen Mary University of London and I recently completed a 150 hour TEFL qualification. I have experience working with children and have found it very rewarding.
Over the past year I have been working towards teaching in Korea. This goal has driven not just by my desire to teach but also by an interest in Korean culture. I spend a large amount of my time listening to Korean music, watching Korean shows and watching videos about Korean culture. Teaching in Korea would give me the opportunity to experience a culture that I have been interested in for a long time. Outside of Korean culture my main interests include reading novels, playing board games and escape rooms. I am conscientious and hard working. I have experience of working to deadlines, often on complex projects where attention to detail is important. I am a keen problem solver and work well in teams. I am considered a compassionate person who gets on well with my colleagues. I have had a passion for teaching and working with children from a young age: during my time at Hobart High School I spent a week on a work experience placement as a teaching assistant, and I also volunteered my lunch breaks to act as a reading mentor for younger students.

I am a masters graduate from London who would describe myself as open minded, resilient, optimistic and caring.
These qualities have proven to be very beneficial while working
in various roles within education.
As outlined in my resume, I have had short term placements in both primary and secondary schools and have also work
in an administration capacity at the tertiary level.
With my love and passion for working with children, I see teaching as a journey in which growth is necessary . It is through challenges and developing your skills that you are able to grow and deliver a higher standards of teaching to each student.
I would like to further expand on my previous experience as I am ready to embrace change and open to learning from every single aspect of it .

I’m a very well organised person who values being well prepared.
I have a very bubbly and outgoing personality which helps build a relationship with my students. I have used my fun personality to making learning more exciting by including games, songs and fun challenges to push my students improvement.
I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of age groups and find that my easy going personality makes the students transitions easier.

I currently work as an after school teacher in South Korea. My classes consist of up to 15 students in elementary school.
I also teach adults students 3 times a week.

I am a recent Master’s degree Graduate in Intellectual History at the University of Sussex , in which I obtained a merit (2018). I also hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History 2:1. Recently I finished a TEFL.ORG UK 120 Hour course in teaching English. My academic subjects have vastly improved my written/communicative skills, understand various current and historical cultures, while allowing me to intellectually grow.

During my Masters and Undergraduate studies I worked full time, in a fast food restaurant and as a logistics assistant, allowing me to develop a strong work ethic. This has developed me into a driven individual and to have a balance of working leisure. Currently I have been working as an agency staff as an administrative officer for the Ministry of Justice – brooding my perspectives and getting a better understanding of judicial and administration aspect of work.

In describing my personality the word that comes to mind is active. This is due to my confident and positive nature. But, also my desire to learn, understand and interact with others while always actively working hard to achieve my goals. This teaching role would be a great opportunity to share this energy with others, especially young children, as I know personally of the importance of learning more languages to be able to communicate more with the world and open more opportunities! My qualifications, personality and the experience I have gained make me a suitable candidate for the English teacher role and I feel that I would be a positive influence on the children.

Dear Sir, Madam,

I am a recent graduate of Business Management from Edinburgh Napier University, (online), and in combination with achieving a TEFL qualification, I have been looking for opportunities to make a career change into a business orientated role or an English Teaching role Internationally.

I have been in the security industry for over ten years, however I am seeking a career that will allow me to put my business qualifications to use, whilst also having the opportunity to work with people internationally and pass on my English speaking skills.

I have had the opportunity to work closely with colleagues from various different ethnicities, for example Sierra Leone and Iraq, and so I am knowledgeable of the sensitivities involved with different religions and cultures and can confidently mix with others.

I have the confidence in my ability to be able to say, with hard work and drive, I would be successful in this role. I signed up for the Royal Marines because I loved the outdoors and fitness aspect, however I have always felt capable of doing much more than my role required.

As a former Royal Marine, I am punctual, honest, and I have integrity and discipline. I am therefore also a team player and can work under pressure. I work hard to produce good results in any task, I have a keen eye for detail and I feel I am particularly good at writing reports. Also, in line with various security company procedures over the years, I have consistently throughout my career been randomly tested for drugs and alcohol, and asked to provide background disclosure checks. I currently have security clearance with the UK Ministry of Defence to be able to work in this current position.

Should you consider me not suitable for the role of English teacher, I would be grateful if you may consider me for other roles, possibly as English teacher or Sports teacher, (I am a keen sportsman with an interest in football, Muaythai, running and cycling).

Sincerely,
