ESL Teachers

My name is Brigida and I am a British tutor who has completed 120 hrs TEFL& ESOL.

I have a degree in Science, but my passion is travelling and teaching English.

I have had the experience of teaching to a variety of students from different backgrounds and age groups.

I am looking forward to hearing from you and being able to further expand my tutor experience.

Please see attached my CV.

Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing to express my interest in the teaching positions you have available in South Korea. I am an Irish and UK citizen with a BSc (Hons) in Forensic Psychology and Criminal Justice. I have a 120 hour TEFL qualification, including teaching large classrooms and online.

In my spare time I am a sports coach for my local ladies GAA football team. I am responsible for planning training sessions and coaching the team, most aged between 16 and 32 years old. We have established a successful period over 2 seasons, winning three titles. This experience has helped me learn to plan effectively and think strategically about how to improve the team and the players as individuals.
Furthermore I am currently helping fundraise for a local charity, PIPS Hope and Support who assist in helping prevent and care for those involved with suicide and mental health issues. By designing and coordinating fundraising events I hope to reach our target.

In the position of EFL teacher, I would seek to use my skills and experience to support students to reach their highest potential. With 1+ year of experience of working at home in a customer service based role, I will be able to adapt to the working environment quickly.

I can use my coaching experience to plan simple but effective materials to progress quickly. My time spent in customer service was used to build rapport with customers. I can transfer this skill to communicate with the students in a simple but effective manner.
I believe I would be a successful candidate in this role and hope to be given the chance to contribute.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

My strengths in teaching is both my passion and empathy, I enjoy other people learning English as both a language and a culture. I also understand how students can be, and am empathetic and considerate throughout my teaching.
My communication skills are thorough, students will rarely ever misunderstand a task as if there's one thing I exemplify, is clarity.
Whilst my experience isn't extraordinarily long, this has been my goal to pursue and finally, I want to get a foothold in teaching English as a foreign language here in South Korea.

I have worked with school age children when I worked at a public library so I have a bit of experience working with children in a literary setting. My personality is bright and I work well with others. For skills, I would say my strengths are reading and writing.

I have experience as a teaching assistant in my home country, where I supported lesson and activity planning alongside the teacher. I have worked with primary school-aged children, providing full classroom support, which has helped me develop transferable skills for teaching English. I am skilled at delivering engaging instruction and providing personalized feedback to improve language proficiency, as demonstrated through my work as a teaching assistant.

As for my personality, I would describe myself as someone who is hugely patient, adaptable, and communicative, with a genuine passion for helping others succeed. I strive to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment where students feel comfortable and motivated to improve.

I have hands-on teaching experience from my time as a student ambassador, where I worked as a teaching assistant in language master classes. This role allowed me to develop effective communication skills, lesson planning abilities, and the confidence to work with diverse learners.

I am a friendly and enthusiastic individual who enjoys meeting new people and building strong connections. My positive attitude and outgoing nature help me foster an engaging and inclusive learning environment.

I am skilled in using Microsoft Office and possess strengths in problem-solving, planning, and management. My critical thinking abilities, attention to detail, and adaptability enable me to deliver well-structured and impactful lessons.

I would describe myself as highly adaptable, creative, proactive, and dependable. I have over a year in teaching experience with kids ranging from Kindergarten to 6th grade, which has enabled me to use my creative side to engage with various types of children. I also have my TEFL certification. I have currently been working in an administrative role but I am currently seeking something different.

I am currently completing a TEFL Level 5 diploma and hold a BA Honours degree in Film and English Literature. With my extensive experience as a Learning Support Assistant at Work Skills Learning, I have developed the ability to create effective, student-centered lesson plans while providing tailored support, particularly for students with learning disabilities.

In my current role, I prepare educational resources, plan personalised tasks, and coordinate syllabi to
enhance learning outcomes. I also provide pastoral care and mentor students, assisting with behaviour
management and supporting their development of social and academic skills. For example, I have
successfully helped students with aggressive tendences regulate their emotions through mentoring and
providing a safe space for reflection, enabling them to reintegrate into the classroom environment.

Additionally, I have experience teaching and supervising both small groups and one-on-one sessions. I
regularly assess student progress, ensuring continuous development through feedback and tailored
learning strategies. I also organise educational trips to enhance student engagement and assist with
employability support, including CV writing and life skills training.

My TEFL training has equipped me with the skills to effectively teach English to diverse learners, and my
hands-on experience has further honed my ability to engage students of varying abilities and
backgrounds. I am eager to bring this holistic, student-centered approach to the classroom abroad,
where I can contribute to both the academic success and personal growth of your students.

Thank you for considering my application. I would love the opportunity to discuss how my qualifications
and experience can benefit your school. I look forward to the possibility of working with you and
supporting your students on their English language learning journey.
