ESL Teachers

Hello. My name is Blake Sablatura. I'm a 30-year-old educator currently based in the United States, with over seven years of international teaching experience in Mongolia and China. I currently work as a park ranger, but a lot of my duties focus on conservation education. I specialize in project based learning through English language instruction, cross-cultural communication, and educational outreach, with a strong background in working alongside local education departments and teacher training institutions. I’m passionate about history, lifelong learning, and exploring different cultures, especially through their food! I’m currently seeking a teaching position abroad where I can continue to grow as an educator, contribute to student development, and immerse myself in new cultural experiences. I am actively seeking to relocate. I am currently working for the federal government, but with the recent difficulties imposed upon federal workers by the administration and having already been fired once illegally and rehired by court order, I believe it is best to try to build a life outside of the United States at this time.

A motivated, professional and self-driven graduate with documented experience in Foreign Language Acquisition (FLA), Phonetic Analysis (PA) and Cultural Studies (CS) looking to secure English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching opportunities for the new academic year approaching (September 2025). Holding a Master of Arts degree in Linguistics from a top 10 world-wide institution (The University of Edinburgh) ensures that I possess world-class experience in theoretical and applied linguistic theories, ranging from formalised grammatical assessment to standardised proficiency descriptions (CEFR, etc). I aim to enrich any teaching role with my in-depth knowledge of varying world Englishes, ranging from American, Australian, Irish and British English, confident in my ability to lead and embolden any English learner with differing nativisms and contextual knowledge.

With seven years of teaching experience, including a leadership role in a bilingual primary school, I bring a strong background in supporting English Language Learners across a range of proficiency levels. I have designed and delivered differentiated lessons using curricula such as Cambridge and Little Wandle Phonics, and have successfully supported students with diverse learning needs. My personality is warm, student-centered, and resilient, shaped by international experience and a deep commitment to creating inclusive, supportive learning environments. I’m highly adaptable, value clear communication, and thrive in collaborative settings. My strengths lie in differentiation, classroom management, and cross-cultural communication, and I’m especially passionate about helping students gain confidence in their language abilities through engaging and respectful instruction.

To the GLOII Consulting recruitment team,
I am writing to be considered for the role of English Teacher in South Korea. As a native English speaker, a first-class graduate from the
University of Bristol and soon-to-be TEFL-qualified English teacher, I
am motivated to start my journey as an ESL teacher, helping students
gain confidence and competence in English through engaging,
needs-based instruction.
I have over 1 year of relevant classroom experience. Currently, I work
as a Teaching Assistant at a primary school in London, where I support
young learners to develop literacy skills through 1:1 and group
phonics, grammar and writing instruction (as well as mathematics,
science and humanities.) This requires organisation and patience –
crucial characteristics of an ESL teacher, and has given me practical
experience in lesson planning and monitoring student progress. I have
worked in a range of educational settings which has required me to be
adaptable to meet the needs of students of different backgrounds and
abilities. To further demonstrate my commitment to the education
sector, I will mention that I intend to obtain a PGCE to become a
fully qualified English educator.
My TEFL Level 5 Certificate (168 hours) from The TEFL Academy has
provided me with a solid foundation in ESL teaching methodology,
lesson planning, classroom management and the creation of teaching
materials. I am drawn to the communicative approach as I believe that
languages are best acquired through functional use. I will encourage
my students to produce language with high levels of accuracy and
fluency through a combination of guided instruction and free practice.
I have every confidence that I will thrive as an educator at your
Language School in South Korea.
South Korea's dynamic cultural and educational landscape greatly appeals to
me and I would be thrilled to have the chance to develop my career as
an educator whilst living in a new country. I am motivated to
contribute to your school’s mission as a self-motivated and
team-oriented teacher. With my strong academic background, classroom
experience and student-centred ethos, I would be an asset to your
teaching team.
I am grateful for your consideration, and welcome the chance to
discuss my suitability for this role further.
Kind regards,
Kaitlin Wallace

I have a BA and an MA in English, as well as a 120-hour TEFL certificate. I have teaching experience in K-8 schools in the USA as well as public high school in Kenya. I am a calm and patient individual, which helps me maintain composure in the classroom. I highly value listening to students and making them feel understood. I am a skilled communicator and writer, and I am very good in working with others and following instructions.

My name is Jecel May M. Fernandez. I am a licensed teacher from the Philippines with over 11 years of teaching experience. I hold a Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English and a Master of Arts in Education major in English.

As an experienced English teacher, I specialize in creating engaging and student-centered lessons that develop learners' speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills. I also served as an ICT Coordinator for 10 years and a Guidance Advocate, which has strengthened my ability to support students’ academic growth and personal development.

I am passionate about cross-cultural exchange and excited to bring my skills to Korea’s English education programs. I believe in using interactive teaching strategies, including games, multimedia, and real-life communication practice, to make English both fun and meaningful for students.

I look forward to contributing to a positive and dynamic learning environment while also learning more about Korean language and culture.

Hello, my name is Celline Chen, and I hold a bachelor degree in Mathematics and minored in Asian American Studies. I have experience teaching young learners as well as adult learners, roles that included private tutoring, academic enrichment coach, substitute teacher, teacher assistants, and so much more. I'm currently completing a 168-hour TEFL course and studying Chinese in China which is helping me understand language learning from a student's perspective. I'm enthusiastic, patient, and supportive, which helps me build a strong relationships with students. I bring energy to the classroom and try to make the lesson more engaging and encouraging. I have strong communication and classroom management skills, especially with young children. I use body language, visuals, and interactive techniques to make learning as fun and accessible as it can be.

I am writing to express my interest in the English language teacher position.
As a native speaker who has spent much of my life and formal education in the United States,
I am thrilled at the opportunity to travel to another country and use my diverse teaching background to
invest in an international community to foster the next group of English speakers.
I hold a BA in Art and Design with a focus on Games and Playable Media from the University
of California, Santa Cruz, and I just completed my MA in Product and Service Design at
Sapienza University in Rome, Italy. While my academic journey has focused on design and
creative arts, my professional experience has provided me with a wealth of teaching and
instructional skills that I believe are well-suited to the role of an English language teacher.
In my role as an environment art teaching assistant at Vertex School, I gained valuable
experience in breaking down complex concepts into understandable lessons for a diverse
range of students, from high schoolers to adults. I frequently provided one-on-one
guidance and feedback, which is an essential skill for a proactive teacher. I also created
lessons ensuring each student fully comprehended the wide set of skills and know-how
needed to succeed in the industry. This experience honed my ability to communicate
clearly and effectively and how to break down a specialized topic to the average layperson.
Earlier at TechKnowHow, a summer robotics camp for students, I served as an assistant
instructor in a camp setting, teaching children in subjects like coding, robotics, and game
design. My work required me to be patient, adaptable, and proactive, qualities that are
crucial when teaching English to students of varying skill levels. I provided individualized
instruction, tracked student progress, and helped troubleshoot any challenges they faced.
Working with children who are not well acquainted with technology compared to adults
taught me patience and to circle back to core ideas. These experiences taught me how to
engage with students and ensure that their learning is both fun and productive.
In addition to my teaching experience, I believe my unique cultural background as a third
culture kid will be an advantage to the classroom. Growing up in Mongolia and then moving
to the United States at the young age of three has given me a deep understanding of the
challenges and rewards of learning a second language as well as keeping your connection
to your heritage. I am excited to share this perspective with students in South Korea, helping
them not only improve their English skills but also build their confidence and motivation.
I am eager to contribute to the mission of providing quality English education
and look forward to discussing how my background, and skills with the staff.
Kind regards,
Khatantitem (Sandy) Evsanaa
