ESL Teachers

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

I have 2 years of experience teaching ESL in Japanese elementary and middle schools. I also have 1 year of experience teaching English in a youth center to all ages in Morocco. I’m an extremely organized, enthusiastic and hard worker and I love to make connections with people of diverse backgrounds and cultures. I’m an avid language learner and I love to travel and explore new cultures and food.

Teaching Experience – 3 years teaching English in South Korea (ages 5-12 years old)

Strengths – Organization, Leadership, Creativity, Problem Solving, Quick Thinking

Personality – bubbly, a bit Type A, optimistic, sensible

Hi there,

I am currently an English Citizen, Based in Manchester. I have been a software developer for around 5 years now. Working with a large breadth of technologies and companies. A very career focused individual. Always looking for the next target.

I am planning to move to South Korea next year. Firstly completing a 3 month Language course in the Hanyang University in Seoul. As a British Citizen, I am the fortunate opportunity to spend the first two years of my stay in South Korea through the free work visa they provide.

I currently DO NOT hold a bachelors degree of any sort. I chose to take what is know here as a 'degree apprenticeship'. Which is where you gain a number of level 3 (First year university) qualifications. Designed to be pragmatic and applied to the industry. I believed this was the best route to take to boost my career quicker and more efficiently.

I hope that these qualifications, as well as being natively English. would amount to the desired qualifications specified in the job description.

Let me know if you need any certificates or anything else from me to help with the application.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Kind regards,
Louis Thompson

안녕하세요,

저는 현재 맨체스터에 거주하는 영국 시민입니다. 저는 소프트웨어 개발자로 일한 지 약 5년이 되었습니다. 다양한 기술 및 회사와 협력합니다. 매우 경력에 중점을 둔 개인입니다. 항상 다음 목표를 찾고 있습니다.

나는 내년에 한국으로 이주할 계획이다. 먼저 서울 한양대학교에서 3개월 어학연수를 이수합니다. 영국 시민으로서 저는 그들이 제공하는 무료 취업 비자를 통해 한국 체류 첫 2년을 보낼 수 있는 행운의 기회를 얻었습니다.

나는 현재 어떤 종류의 학사 학위도 갖고 있지 않습니다. 나는 여기서 '학위 견습'으로 알려진 것을 선택했습니다. 이곳에서 레벨 3(대학 1년차) 자격을 취득할 수 있습니다. 실용적이고 산업에 적용되도록 설계되었습니다. 나는 이것이 내 경력을 더 빠르고 효율적으로 발전시킬 수 있는 최선의 길이라고 믿었습니다.

나는 이러한 자격을 갖추고 영어가 모국어가 되기를 바랍니다. 직무 설명에 명시된 원하는 자격에 해당합니다.

신청에 도움이 되도록 인증서나 기타 필요한 것이 있으면 알려주시기 바랍니다.

나는 당신의 의견을 기대하고 있습니다.

감사합니다,
Louis Thompson

Hello my name is Gavin Doell. I am an extremely extroverted person and love to learn about new cultures. I have 120 tefl training hours and I have experience in tutoring and very informal tefl teaching. I spent 6 months tutoring students Spanish (middle/high school students). I also have experience working with younger students. I am fluent in Spanish and I am currently at a C2 level in Portuguese and Italian. I love learning new languages and hope I can contribute in your program!

I have worked in a several different environments leading and teaching children from the ages of 4 to 18. Examples of these include one-to-one as an Au Pair, in an after-school setting with up to 30 children, in a school environment with children with learning difficulties.

I am an efficient team leader and a conscientious team member. My other skills include leadership, teamwork, self-motivation, networking, communication, problem solving and decision making under pressure, which I have gained through my roles in working in a number of different sectors – including the hospitality, non-profit and voluntary sectors.

I love travelling and getting to know new cultures and people, and some of the hobbies I enjoy are dancing salsa, gardening and podcasts.

I am currently working as a Direct care staff at the Guttenberg Center for special services. I recently graduated from Muhlenberg College with a degree in Psychology. My internships, previous jobs and current job have all involved me working with and/or teaching children ranging from the ages 2-13. All of these jobs have taught me how to be adaptable, understanding and compassionate. Working with children has taught me to expect the unexpected and to be prepared to find ways to keep things running smoothly. I have learned how to be patient and understanding of what these children are going through either at school outside of class, inside of class or at home. I have realized how much I love working with children and all the unexpectedness that comes from it. I love the ability to have fun and come up with different games while still being in a learning environment.

4 years of experience teaching a foreign language as an Assistant Teacher at Van Lang Center
– taught different levels of Vietnamese (beginner-intermediate)
– taught different age groups (elementary to early high school)

TEFL Certificate 2023

Friendly, open-minded, problem-solver, detail-oriented, motivated learner

Teaching style: show not tell, guide students through material rather than lecturing, encourage student talking time, ask questions

I have 3 years experience teaching children ages 4-16 in a dance instruction setting. While it may seem like dance and English teaching are very different, I find there are more similarities than one may think. New concepts in dance can be challenging, uncomfortable, and feel unnatural to perform, just like new language skills. My strengths as a teacher lie in my ability to personalize instruction to each student to make sure they don't feel overwhelmed or left behind as we progress as a class. An empathic approach with creative teaching techniques makes classes less stressful, and the results are positive when students are comfortable in their learning environment. Nurturing students' skills in a way that grows their confidence in their own abilities is key, as opposed to teaching techniques that leave students struggling, confused, and feeling like they cannot approach me for help.

I am very interested in applying for your teaching post. Since 2022, I have been teaching Business Studies at a secondary school here in the UK but wish to teach abroad. I have also taught computer science and mathematics. I graduated with a 1st Class Honours Degree in Business studies from the University of Wolverhampton in 2022.

I consider myself to be a conscientious, punctual and hard-working individual who is very professional. I have excellent written, oral and verbal communication skills – especially in English.

I have worked all my life and prior to this teaching position I worked in the finance department at my local hospital, here in the UK, as a Management Accountant for 20 years.

I have been very lucky to have travelled to many countries across the World, and in Asia, and now wish to pass on my wealth of life and teaching knowledge to children and individuals less fortunate than myself.

I enjoy working with children of all ages, and believe I can make a positive impact on their careers and lives going forward.

Thank you.
