As On CV

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the English teaching position at your
school. I am a dedicated and enthusiastic English teacher with two years of
experience teaching middle school students in South Korea. During this time, I
have developed strong classroom management skills, created engaging studentcentered lessons, and built positive relationships with both students and
colleagues.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree and a TEFL qualification, and I am committed to
creating a supportive and interactive learning environment where students feel
confident using English. I enjoy designing lessons that encourage
communication, critical thinking, and active participation while adapting my
teaching methods to meet the needs of learners with different abilities.
Working in South Korea has strengthened my ability to collaborate in a
multicultural environment and communicate effectively with co-teachers and
school staff. I am reliable, adaptable, and always eager to learn and grow as an
educator. I also make effective use of technology and digital teaching resources
to create engaging and meaningful lessons.

As my current contract is coming to an end, I am seeking a new opportunity
where I can continue contributing to students’ academic and personal growth
while becoming a valuable member of your school community. I would be
honored to bring my experience, enthusiasm, and commitment to excellence to
your team.

Thank you for considering my application. I appreciate your time and
consideration and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my
experience and qualifications align with your school’s needs. I look forward to
hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Arthur Baloyi

Experience:
I have direct experience working in education as a Teaching Assistant, supporting pupils aged 7–11 through one-to-one and small-group instruction in English and French. I have assisted with lesson preparation, classroom delivery, differentiation, and maintaining accurate student records. My wider background in supervisory roles has strengthened my ability to manage groups, follow safeguarding procedures, and work effectively in structured environments.

I have trained students for the annual Speech Contest event, and they have both won first prize.

NB: I left Korea about a month ago, and I am eager to return.

I bring enthusiasm, adaptability, and a strong work ethic to the classroom. My 120-hour TEFL certification has equipped me with effective teaching strategies for engaging and motivating learners of all levels.

Having previously visited Seoul, I have first-hand appreciation of Korean culture and am eager to immerse myself further. With a background in Marine Environmental Science and independent research experience, I offer strong organisational, communication, and problem-solving skills to create lessons that are both enjoyable and educational.

During my studies at Rhodes University I volunteered at a local Grade 12 school at my local town where I mentored Grade 12 students. I had also worked as a University library assistant where I was helping students with research and basic computer skills. These experiences allowed me to mentor students and guide them in their studies and career choices. I gained research skills which increased my vocabulary and knowledge of English from working at the library. I have experienced teaching young children English at St’ Andrews Preparatory in South Africa. I tutored a small group of young children. My teaching experience increased my public speaking skills, it gave me skills like learning fun for children. I gained more passion and enthusiasm from teaching children.

I have taught children starting at age 5, to adults 60+ years of age. My skills of teaching ESL range from beginner, conversational English, and Business English to preparation for IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, CET, etc. I am a very outgoing, and transparent individual.
