ESL Teachers

Director of Facilities.
Do you have any job in Goheung or Suncheon?

I've spent alot of time in high powered and very formal jobs, i.e. as an accounts assistant and as a software developer. I have also worked more informal jobs and spent time living in other cultures. For this reason I find it easy to speak to people with varying levels of formality and varying levels of seniority.

I've spent roughly 3 years teaching English informally and as a result am quite used to teaching English, and have spent a year or 2 teaching Spanish informally. I am used to teaching people new concepts at this point and am very patient with students.

Very tech literate.

I am a pre-law student at Vanderbilt University studying clarinet performance, history, and psychology. I hold many leadership positions on campus including managing editor of Vanderbilt's Historical Review, an undergraduate research journal. As such, my undergraduate studies have honed my English reading and writing skills. I intend on teaching English abroad to serve communities while increasing my cultural competence in my gap years before law school.

I am a co-founder of a nonprofit that teaches children K-12 in all subjects via Zoom, so I have experience working with younger children. I also have taught children music at summer camps.

I am a friendly person that is understanding to everyone's situations. I enjoy fostering collaboration and am flexible to teaching methods.

Whilst in university, I spent three years studying and broadening my knowledge within the field of English Literature and Language and Communication Studies, which I believe might be beneficial in making me an eligible candidate for this role. After graduating and receiving my Bachelor of Arts Degree (B.A.), I was appointed as a Client Services Manager within a Marketing and Video Production Agency. I spent three years within this role. As of September 2022, I endeavored as a Commercial Model in Cape Town, South Africa signed under “Base Model Agency”. Currently, I am sharing my passion for English and Education by working as an independent English tutor whenever my services are requested/required. I would like the opportunity to contribute these experiences and expertise to the position of ESL Teacher to assist your school in achieving further success. I am passionate about English, and would strive to provide quality and professional services while upholding the school to the highest degree of standard and respect. I hope to become an asset who is able to represent and improve your school to the best of my ability.

I have a lot of informal experience teaching and tutoring both young adults and children in a variety of subjects, including English. I have a strong academic background and have completed 220 hours of TEFL certified training. I am a very outgoing, sociable and empathetic person, and take pride in my organizational skills, attention to detail, and my ability to adapt to new situations.

I am someone who started out his career in English language teaching but then migrated into the financial industry out of necessity. The time is now, however, that I continue my transition out of banking and back into teaching. I say “continue” because I have been teaching high-schoolers for the past 7 years in preparation for my next move. The specialty for which I am currently being trained (Teaching English to Korean Speakers) plus my life experiences and passion for teaching fit very well with the needs of the position, and I would be thrilled at the opportunity to join your team.

Prior to my financial career I spent a few years teaching non-English speaking adults at a local college in the US, after which I established my own English school in the Dominican Republic for those seeking to work in tourism and for executives of local businesses. My work and education have taken me to several other countries as well—indicated on my CV—providing me with a solid knowledge base of moving abroad and all the particulars involved.

I love education, and with me you would get someone with excellent organizational skills who easily connects with students. I am also the type of person who understands the philosophy of “team” by participating in committees and school improvement projects to help build a better environment for students and staff alike.

Thank you for considering me for this position. I trust that you will be able to glean from my accompanying CV a much greater sense of my experiences and background. I look forward to meeting you in person and sharing with you how my career experiences have shaped me into the seasoned, reliable and personable educator that both staff and students alike can trust and hold in esteem.

Over the last few years, I have gained rich experience working with children. I enjoy designing and delivering lesson plans, and managing a classroom while keeping students engaged. My personality traits include patience, empathy, adaptability, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude. In terms of skills, I am able to assess and provide feedback on student progress, have creative problem-solving skills, am proficient with technology for integrating it into teaching, and have strong collaboration and teamwork skills for working with other teachers, staff, and parents.

I've worked with children for about a decade (through babysitting and volunteering), and this experience has taught me how rewarding it can be (and also how it can be challenging). Something I loved about babysitting was how excited the kids would get when we would do crafts. As a volunteer swim coach, there were many instances where the students would be stressed or upset, and I learned how to navigate this with them, so that they still had fun swimming! Between these experiences, I developed my ability to be patient, understanding, and positive (even when I was tired).

I'd describe myself as a life-long learner, and I hope to share some of my passions for writing, reading and creativity with my future students!

Although I am still new to teaching, I know I can be an excellent teacher. I am patient, compassionate, and nurturing. I have taught students online from a variety of countries and varying skill levels, so adjusting to the needs of my students in the classroom will be no problem for me. I am a bit of an introvert, but once I get adjusted to my surroundings, I can be outgoing.
