ESL Teachers

I am a highly motivated and hard-working individual. Detail-oriented with great organisational skills achieved as a project manager assistant where I had to work collaboratively with lead managers in delivering projects within deadlines. I am exceptional at supporting a team while also experienced in taking initiative. I have strong interpersonal communication skills that I have gained through working in the retail industry. I am a native English speaker, fluent in French and currently studying for a TOPIK level 4 in Korean. I graduated with an Upper Second Class Honours degree in Chinese and International Business from the University of Westminster in London. I have worked in various fields, and come from a multi cultural background, therefore I find it easy to assimilate myself to new environments and cultures.

I am dedicated, punctual and reliable which are very important traits for this position. I am also very flexible and solutions-driven. I have taught different age groups from kindergarten to adults, I am a fast learner and adapt very easily. I have also taught in China for 5 years this was very good for me as I learned how to adjust to different environments, cultures and people. I have also travelled to South Korea a number of times so I am familiar with the culture and love being there and would definitely love to learn more.

I have a lot of experience and can offer that.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my interest in a TEFL position in Seoul, South Korea, as advertised on your website. I have a passion for teaching English and following the recent completion of my BA (Hons) degree in the UK, I have undertaken teaching placements in both primary and secondary schools. I believe in my ability to successfully support your programme and teach English to students in South Korea.

I have an interest in fashion and popular culture. I undertook a degree in Fashion Design, which taught me to think for myself, use my initiative and solve complex problems. I have gained self-discipline and a resilient work ethic that will be beneficial for my future. While researching and learning about fashion across the world I discovered South Korea’s influence in fashion and the creative industry that is spreading globally. I am excited to explore South Korean culture while working in a job that is rewarding and along side people who may share similar interests.

As part of my most recent work placement, I successfully taught interactive and engaging lessons tailored to the needs of differing abilities. My experience working with students from various cultural backgrounds has helped me to adapt my teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning styles. I found teaching the English language to students very rewarding, particularly when seeing their progress and attainment. I am confident in my capacity to foster a positive and inclusive learning environment for all students.

I hold a level 5, 168 hour TEFL certification from the TEFL Academy, where I acquired valuable insights into effective language teaching methodologies and classroom management techniques. I learnt a variety of lesson planning methods and how to create engaging and interesting lessons for all age groups and levels. The course has given me a great amount of knowledge and experience providing a solid starting point which I can now build and improve upon.

I am excited about the prospect of working in South Korea, and that my passion for teaching, coupled with my relevant experience and dedication, make me an ideal candidate for a TEFL position within your organisation. I welcome the opportunity to discuss further how my skills align with your needs. Thank you for taking the time to read my CV and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Eva Courtney

In the last two years I have had the pleasure of teaching middle school students of multiple levels, and believe that such experience has given me the skills necessary to lead students of varying abilities on their language learning journeys. At the start of my time with EPIK, I learned the skills necessary to plan and lead engaging and effective lessons from my co-teachers, and am proud to have continued to build on those skills independently throughout my educational career. As such, I am confident in my ability to build on the required aspects of any curriculum with my own approaches.

I am a career educator.
This is what I do!

I am, and always have been a strong proponent of education at any age, and teaching English and History abroad has been my goal for many years. Although, I have not taught officially, I have four grown up children, who have become very successful in their fields of work. I have also taken the opportunity to volunteer as a classroom assistant as they were growing up. As a family we moved a lot due to my ex-husbands deployments, so ensuring their understanding of the English and other subjects was essential. I currently volunteer at my local library where I often sit and help young children of all ages and nationalities read and borrow books. I am aware of the requirements within an education setting, as I was Personal Assistant, to the Director of Education, Church of England, Manchester Diocese, I have experience of working with the 112 schools within the Diocese.

I believe that combining nature and science to educate children, is also an essential element, which has a strong and a positive impact on children's education. Subsequently, I would encourage the school to incorporate these into any curriculum, which would include growing fruit, vegetables and flowers, as I want encourage children to understand how their food is grown, as well as to see the satisfaction they have at growing something themselves. I am always keen to encourage young children to watch and engage with nature.

I am described as enthusiastic and resourceful, generous, thoughtful, empathetic and sincere. I consider myself to be considerate, reliable and very trustworthy, passionate in what I believe, ambitious, very energetic and creative. I am always cheerful and happy with an optimistic outlook. I exude confidence and encourage others to find theirs, however, I am also adventurous as there are still many things I want to achieve, teaching being one of them.

I do a number of activities to ensure I stay fit and healthy. These include swimming, walking, dance and Yoga. I also have a number of hobbies which include cooking, gardening, sewing, reading and listening to most genres of music. I enjoy travel, and have visited numerous countries. Despite my educational background, of political history, I am aware that English is the ‘Lingua Franca’ of the world and considering this, I would be honoured to teach young children the English language.

I realise that my age may be seen as a problem. However, I see myself as having the attributes of ‘life experience’ as well as the educational understanding to bring to the role, compared to younger applicants. I would ensure that my total care and devotion would be given in my teaching of the future generations.

I achieved a first-class degree in photography from Leeds arts university. I take pride in my ability to complete a university course with a first alongside a part time job and within a pandemic. I believe my proactive and flexible approach allowed me to succeed even with these boundaries. During my tefl course I successfully planned and presented creative and engaging lessons. I found this very fulfilling. What draws me to teaching is getting the chance to help children achieve.
I volunteer at Tolson Museum as a curator. In this role I work as part of a team to organise and present a large collection of written and visual material for the community to enjoy and learn from.

I am excited to be applying for the position of English teacher. I enjoyed traveling to Seoul greatly I would love the chance to live there and immerse myself in the culture.

I am a diligent and reliable worker. I have led teams and managed my staff on my own, ensuring that all duties are completed in a timely and efficient manner. Additionally, I am a team player but also a fun and caring instructor. I’ve worked with children from all ages and enjoy helping them learn new things, whether that is art, technology, or simply how to tie their shoelaces. I am enthusiastic and passionate about teaching. Throughout my experiences I have learned to strengthen my many skills such as team building, child development, classroom management, lesson planning, and adaptability.
