ESL Teachers

Volunteering in a summer camp in Thailand, to volunteering in an inner city school in Glasgow, it is clear my experiences vary with each developing and providing new skills.

Throughout school, I always enjoyed working with younger children and volunteered when living in Saudi Arabia. This exposed me to the different types of children and backgrounds and it allowed me to acknowledge these differences in a way to work with each child individually.

In returning to the United Kingdom for sixth form college, I became a sports leader. This involved organising sporting events for the local primary schools. This improved my organisation and team work. It also taught me to be flexible as certain things did not always go to plan. I was also a Netball coach for a small Primary School. This was one of the most rewarding roles I had in school as I was able to see the skills and love for sport evolve within these children. I was also a student mentor at school, helping younger students who were less able with English, Maths and Science. This was challenging as it was difficult to maintain their interest but by being approachable, enthusiastic and understanding, it made it easier.

At University, I was also a student mentor. I also volunteered at a school in inner city Glasgow which was also very rewarding. Last summer, I volunteered at a summer camp in Thailand for a week and at a school in Chiang Mai teaching English. This taught me to be flexible as there were many times when we had planned for different age groups or for different abilities and due to a lack of communication we were misinformed.

This summer coming, I am going to Italy to teach English in a summer camp. I am then going to Greece to also teach in a summer camp.

I have studied BA Drama and Theatre Arts for the past 3 years at university, so I am very confident and can think quickly on my feet. I am passionate and energetic and love helping people, so a teaching job is the perfect fit for me. I am professional and strong-willed and strive to be the best I can be and to do the best I can do in all things. I have recently completed my 120 hour TEFL course and have my certificate.

To Whom It May Concern:

Please accept my candidacy for the English Language Teaching position with your school in South Korea. My years of experience in education and youth development demonstrate my devotion to improving the future of learners in my classroom. During my time teaching Korean students in the United States, I was delighted to learn of how dedicated and eager they are to learn English. I would be honored to teach in South Korea.

While completing my Certification of English Language Teaching (CELTA) with the University of Cambridge (Teaching House New York), I taught pre-intermediate and upper-intermediate English learners using a variety of techniques. I used different course books to teach integrated receptive and productive skills lessons. I clarified various language points, including grammar, vocabulary, phonology and functions. I excelled at lesson planning and building a great rapport within the classroom. I am confident that the skills and techniques attained through my CELTA certification will make me the ideal English Language Teacher.

Prior to my CELTA completion, I obtained my Masters of Public Administration at Baruch College, I conducted my capstone research on how mentorship can have high impact on the personal and academic achievement of young women in Brooklyn, New York. In my last position as Coordinator of Internships and Professional Development at New York City College of Technology, I was able to develop and facilitate in-classroom professional development workshops to over 400 students each semester. My students have shared sentiments echoed by many: “As City Tech students, it is important that there are people like Ms. Nicole Dillon of the Professional Development Center who work to help us recognize our potential.”

I am confident in my ability to succeed as an English Language Teacher in South Korea. I consider myself an innovate team player and educator.I look forward to discussing my qualifications with you.

I am an experienced, qualified, and cheerful teacher who is enthusiastic about the English language and making learning a fun and positive experience that students look forward to.
I am certified in TEFL (a 120 hour online course) as well as registered to complete a CELTA certification by the end of June, 2018. I have worked as an English teacher and tutor in Japan, Korea and America and am very experienced at adapting to life in a culture different from my own.
I am currently a student at the University of Hawaii, graduating May 12th, 2018. I work for the University with their international students teaching English conversation part time.
Many students specifically request me as a teacher and my English classes often grow quickly and are extremely popular for the schools/programs I have taught for. This is because I have seriously studied a foreign language myself and I understand exactly how hard it can be. Because of this, I create a warm, welcoming and encouraging atmosphere where students can gain confidence, have fun and feel positive about English learning.

I have experience in a number of relevant positions, including teaching in primary schools. My most significant experience in relation to this application was at 'Manor Courses', an international English language school. There, I learned many skills in communication, interacting with patience and boundaries with students, as well as how to engage them in learning. I have numerous voluntary experiences, such as at the 'Samaritans' and as a mental health advocate, which have helped me to be a good communicator.

I am a passionate and enthusiastic individual, conveying an enthusiasm for ideas that I have to others. This energy means that I have a strong work ethic, and care deeply about what I do.

Patient and inquisitive American mixed race creative born and raised in Southern California. Graduated in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in sociology at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Currently living in Los Angeles, California.

Experience in background acting, restaurant & courier services, nonprofit organizations, children's piano performance. Demonstrated skills in critical analysis, customer service & satisfaction, music performance, creative improvisation, performance coaching for children under ten, and community organizing.

Personal interests include drawing, screenwriting, acting/improv, serigraphy, historical research, and Afro-Cuban drumkit.

In terms of experience, I have been a hall senior for my university, which involved living with the students in halls and being a first point of contact for any questions or problems they may have. I helped to organise introduction week events for the university students and made sure everyone felt comfortable and got to know each other in the initial weeks. I have also had lots of experience with babysitting; from the ages of 8-14. I entertain the kids and play games with them, and often cook food and help them with their homework. I sometimes have to stay over if the parents are away for a night and help them go to school the next day. I have also been involved with the youth group at my local church on sundays. This involved teaching the children about morals and life lessons through games and songs, which was really fun and rewarding. At high school, I was the House Captain. I was elected for this and had to make sure that my house was integrating across all years. I helped with activities such as sports days and variety shows, which were across all the years, and helped the students fell comfortable and part of a wider family in the school.

I have a very bubbly and outgoing personality, and love to interact with new people. I believe this would make me an ideal candidate for teaching english to a class of new students. In terms of working style, I am a hard worker, who loves to be challenged and put out of my comfort zone, therefore I believe throwing myself into life in Korea as a teacher would be a perfect fit for me. In my Physics degree, I learnt how to think logically and to work calmly under pressure, even when tight deadlines were set. Furthermore, I am able to express myself thoughtfully and in a structured manner, which I believe will make me a valuable English teacher. I am currently completing a 120-Hour TEFL course online, which I have found extremely worthwhile and has increased my knowledge of how I would style my classes when teaching English to young students, to get the most out of each lesson.

I want to teach english in Korea because I want to do something fulfilling and worthwhile. I want to give my knowledge and help more children to learn english, which is ever-increasingly important in today's globalised society. I have had experience working with children in school, at church and outside of education with my babysitting experience, and I thoroughly enjoy interacting with them. There have often been times when they have come to me for advice and I feel honoured to have the responsibility to be a role model for them. This is something I would love to be able to continue by teaching English abroad in Korea.

I am a positive and highly responsible native English speaker, with the enthusiasm, self motivation and versatility to work to the best of my ability, and share my linguistic skills with students and others alike.
