ESL Teachers

I am a fully qualified TEFL teacher with over two years experience of teaching English as a second language. I am passionate about teaching and my own development as a teacher and aim to continue growing and improving as a teacher both through formal training and through the experience that I gain whilst teaching. I am interested in curriculum development and different approaches to and methods of teaching. I am organized, hard-working, and have excellent interpersonal skills.

My creative mindset alongside my technical knowledge of a variety of equipment allows me to create interesting and experimental content through film making, photography and editing in order to catch and keep people's attention and convey information.

Furthermore, I can communicate effectively with thanks to my experience in working within retail jobs and assisting a variety of customers, as well as my assistant roles during my times working for the University's Students' Union, where I would converse with a diverse selection of students from around the globe.

I am proud of my work ethic, as can organise my workloads effectively and work efficiently in order to meet deadline whilst producing the best quality of work.

I also have a strong ability to read people and situations as I often play basketball and have to know what the other players are planning to do in order to make my moves to give our team success. I am also able to acknowledge when people are understanding me and what I’m conveying, as I had to plan for a wide variety of situations and communicate to different levels of knowledge and understanding.

I'm a very patient, understanding and dedicated person. I'm enthusiastic to help Korean children learn English. I will graduate university this July, of which I studied Asia Pacific Studies and Korean language. During my time at university I was always very hardworking which has resulted in me achieving a First Class Honours degree. Through my hard work I was awarded a scholarship for my exchange year abroad at Ewha Womans University . Therefore, I have much experience and knowledge of Korean culture and the language. From these experiences and interactions with Koreans I have come to understand how important it is for Koreans to speak fluent English. I wish to help Korean children achieve this. In preparation to teach English, I am now volunteering to help Koreans in my home city with their English speaking. I have a lot of experience with children, I volunteered to teach children aged 4-12 at my local church for one year. Furthermore, I have 10 nieces and nephews, who I look after on many occasions.

I enjoy helping students overcome struggles and obstacles they face when trying to learn a new concept. In the past, I have tutored children from elementary and secondary schools in writing, reading, and math. In addition, I volunteered at an early childhood learning center where I would read out loud to the children, create crafts about American holidays with them, and play games that enforced concepts they learned in their lessons.
I believe that children must have a simulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, and socially. My desire is to create an atmosphere where students can meet their full potential in learning & speaking English. As a teacher, I want to empower and provide students the confidence they need to be able to speak English outside the classroom and use it in their future endeavors.
Since English is the dominant international language of the 21st century, it is important for students to be taught in an innovative way. Using technology will allow for the students to be prepared for the global engagement they will experience in the real world.
Teaching in Korea will allow me the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a classroom environment in a new region and continue to fostering this culture exchange and awareness between the students and myself.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am currently seeking employment as a TESOL teacher in Korea and came across this position through a LinkedIn search. I was immediately interested in the goals The English School has set out.
I am a passionate ESL teacher and have sought opportunities to participate in new ways of teaching. I have taught several age groups in a variety of settings. Most of my experience has required me to work in teams to create curriculum that will give students, children and adult age, a real life experience. Throughout my experience in both online and classroom teaching, I have learned that students learn best when they are empowered and inspired.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Olimpia A. Escamilla

I have recently finish my Masters in Marketing and Public Relations and have worked in Communications for 5 years. My education and previous work has given me the opportunity to effectively communicate with a diverse range of people in numerous scenarios. I have recieved training in delivering training, management and leadership and believe that these experiences have given me the tools to teach English.

I am empathetic and so I can understand others thoughts and feelings through my high emotional intelligence and active listening which means I can help students who may have difficulties learning. I'm also innovative and creative meaning that I will be able to think of fun ways for people to learn. I can respond well to unexpected situations and be adaptable to changing my behaviour for different levels and ages. I like to be sure that I am organised and work well independently but also believe that teamwork is essential for success. Finally, I am confident and enthusiastic about work which I am passionate about and teaching English aboard is a job I have always wanted to do!

I currently work at a 학완 in Seongnam-si but am looking for new employment at a smaller school or Kindergarten. I have a few months experience as a teacher of English now and I have learned quite a lot about how to teach here in Korea.

I have a very bright and positive personality and enjoy working with children. I actually work with the children currently at my church in Seoul. I keep watch over the younger kids ages 3-5 while their parents are in classes. I have a "can-do" attitude where if I don't know how to do something I will figure it out.

For skills, my degree is in Graphic Design, but I worked for the school newspaper and was an avid reader all growing up, so I'm very comfortable with English and teaching it to young kids. I enjoy reading aloud to children the most because my mother has a PhD in literacy and that is how I was raised and taught.

For the last few years I have been highly motivated about working with children and youth in as many avenues and experiences available to me. Of recent, I have been studying and teaching English around Austria. I would love to continue this avenue and hone my English teaching abilities in the coming years. In this experience I have acquired my Certificate TESOL and acquired over 300 hours of teaching practice in the Austrian school system. I have witnessed and created environments in which using language is both active and engaging for learners, which is core to my own personal teaching ethos. I have worked with children and young adults in many capacities and have experienced creating sustainable living conditions whilst working abroad; these are expressed in greater depth in my CV. This experience will offer insight into my own teaching abilities and allow for further professional development. I am excited about the opportunity to implement my knowledge and skills in a foreign yet similar environment.

Accomplished grasp of the English language
Throughout college my ability to write essays and statements has been praised. I assisted students who struggled with language and phrasing when writing essays and artist statements. I particularly enjoyed this as I worked wit h them instead of correcting their work for them, this helped them to learn from their previous mistakes and improve overall

Creative Problem Solving
Because of my background in art and design, I have honed my creative problem solving skills which has proved to be invaluable when working with younger students, particularly those who do not speak English proficiently. I believe that I have utilized this skill when designing lesson plans to keep the students entertained and interested while learning a new language.

Ability to Adapt
Over the years I have taught myself to adapt to ever changing situations and the ability to approach new tasks with composure and optimism. This was a necessity when I initially moved to South Korea. I believe that this ability has allowed me to experience this beautiful country with open eyes and embrace all that it has to offer
