SAT/AP Teachers

I am a very patient instructor who tries to identify a student's strength in an area within the subject first, and using that strength as a way to first build the student's confidence and then use that as a motivation to work on the weaknesses. In addition, regarding test preparation, it is best to identify the problems early on through a series of examinations and practice tests and making sure that the students work on the type of problems that they struggle with the most. I enjoy working with ambitious students and especially those that are passionate or interested in the subject, and I try to encourage a friendly and open dialogue to make sure that the students are comfortable bringing up certain problems or issues during the teaching process.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am writing to apply for a position as an English language teacher with GLOII this summer, a position for which I feel I am highly qualified.
I am a highly professional, results-driven TEFL teacher with over ten years’ experience in the development and delivery of language programs to a wide variety of clients encompassing diverse backgrounds, beginners to advanced, from young learners to business professionals. I have experience of working on Summer schools in the UK and Spain, which also involved boarding duties and the organisation of and participation in activities.
My qualifications include a Professional TEFL Certificate and a Master’s degree in International Studies. My professional experience includes over ten years as an English teacher in Zimbabwe, The UK, Japan, China and Spain.
As a teacher at Idiomas Seif in Madrid, I oversaw the instruction of over 200 students in a multi-lingual environment and personally trained many in the Cambridge exams and London Trinity certificates. This role demanded the regular creation of learning materials, the teaching of lessons, workshops and intensive courses, the preparation of progress reports and delivery of in-house testing. I helped oversee a period where the school achieved among the best student retention rates in the country and was commended for my performance due to very positive student feedback. I did teacher observations and enjoyed very much giving feedback and passing on my experience.
As an English Instructor in Zimbabwe, I gained a wealth of experience teaching young learners. This involved developing customised materials for each class in trying conditions. I’m currently teaching English to students aged 11-17 at a school in Chongqing, China. I am also the school football coach and I often participate in excursions and other extra-curricular activities.
With my skills, international experience, Summer school experience and love for language education, I believe I would be an ideal fit for your Summer program. I would welcome the opportunity to work with you to deliver the highest standards of English language teaching and I look forward to being able to discuss the position with you further.

Yours sincerely,
Simon Perry

I believe that my greatest asset for this job is my educational background in the Sciences. I had an opportunity to create my own curriculum while I was teaching English at an academy and incorporated topics like physics, chemistry, etc. into daily teachings. Having been enrolled in educational institutions until recently, I understand how to take exams efficiently and the methods of preparation. Another of my teaching strengths is that I am able to and enjoy creating PPT lectures with visual aids that help students stay focused.
In terms of personality, I strive to always exude positivity and energy, at least in the classroom. I am a multitasker and am always able to meet deadlines.
It is not noted in my resume and I have not marked the options above but I have credit for AP Computer Science and have taken multiple college statistics courses so I am able to teach those subjects if given time to review and prepare.

I recently graduated in May 2018 with a BSc in Earth Science from Rice University, currently ranked as the 14th best college in the United States. Since December 2017, I have been working as an SAT tutor for Catalyst Prep in the Houston, Texas area. I am in charge of running two-day, intensive courses to help students review relevant topics, hone their test-taking skills, and understand what to expect on the SAT. Since I have been teaching the same subjects that this job focuses on and working with students in the same target age group, I am well-prepared to provide SAT prep services to students who are applying to American universities.

My greatest strength is that I am an empathetic person who is skilled at relating to people and making them feel heard. During my time as an SAT tutor, many of my students have been frustrated, bored, or simply do not understand why their parents are asking them to enroll in these classes. I always strive to understand my students rather than dismissing their concerns, and I believe that I have learned a lot by listening to them. It is exciting when students come up to me after class and thank me personally; I like knowing my students feel like they have a voice in my classroom.

There are several skills I possess that are relevant an SAT teaching position. First, thanks to my earth science background and experience in research, I am well-versed in problem solving, critical thinking, and explaining difficult concepts in layman terms. Second, I am a strong writer with a good grasp of the English language who has experience editing essays written by college students and professors alike. Third, I am multilingual which demonstrates my potential to expand my language skills if necessary for this position.

I cam confident that my educational background, work experience, skill set, and personal strengths would make me a valuable asset to your institution, and I would love to talk more about this opportunity in an interview. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I am interested in teaching math or science through the medium of English.
My undergraduate education emcomposses in depth learning of several scientific disciplines and math, which allows me to teach a broad range of subjects and adequately instruct on concepts that overlap across disciplines. Furthermore, my graduate degree in secondary education empowers my ability to disseminate knowledge to students. In particular, I have abundant experience in teaching non-calculus physics and precalculus that can be put to immediate use.
I also have extensive experience with EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students and am familiar with effective instructional strategies that can enhance both subject knowledge and English ability.
I am committed to education in which students take ownership of their learning, in which they actively learn because they recognize the need for that knowledge. I strive to invoke this quality in students so that they may be successful even after they leave the classroom. For such students, I am prepared to commit to lifelong learning myself, so that my students may experience better education.

I majored in English at Queen Mary University of London, UK, and worked as an education and business writer for QS, an internationally recognised university rankings company, before gaining my TEFL qualification and moving to teach in Taiwan. One-on-one tutoring is without doubt my strongest suit, my favourite classes being when my students can debate on current affairs and discuss topics which excite them. In my personal life, I am a creative – I love to write and have recently finished writing a comedy screenplay for TV.

Due to my previous experience within academia in the corporate world, I am also skilled in business conversation and academic/university/study abroad mentoring.

If you'd like to know more about me, I’m available to contact by email or phone. I'm excited to hear from you!

I wish to submit my expression of interest for available teaching positions.

I have a Bachelor of Journalism (social studies/humanities minor) from James Cook University in Townsville, North Queensland, Australia and spent 9 months after completing my TEFL course in a full-time position teaching English language (Social studies focus) at Wachirawit Private High School in Chiang Mai Thailand. I moved to Vietnam in 2015 and have been living here since then, teaching a range of ages and abilities, from 3-35 year olds and from toddlers to working professionals in both the public and private sectors.

A positive and motivated teacher, I am committed to providing students with a dynamic and interesting learning environment in which they can grow and develop. I am familiar with employing the use of technology whilst teaching in the 21st century classroom, and I thrive on keeping on top of the latest resources and developments within the teaching industry. I seek to encourage students to enjoy extra-curricular activities and study groups, which I believe instils them with a self-directed lifelong learning..

To give you an indication of what to expect, an average week for me consists of 19-22 contact hours of teaching per week, mostly students aged 13-18, who are producing the language at a range from false beginner up to the intermediate level.

I would love the opportunity to assist in the development and progression of your students’ learning.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing my suitability for this role within your school.

Yours sincerely

Hello, my name is Tami Lee and in 3 years, I graduated from California State University, Northridge with a Bachelor in Linguistics and TESL minor. I am interested in second language learning and I have a growing passion for the deaf community and children with speech impediments and other speech disorders. I want to teach for the rest of my life, whether it would be in a classroom or a clinic.

A successful teacher harvests the students’ receptiveness to the learning objectives. I can create a productive ESL classroom setting by catering to the multiple intelligences. Students are generally interested in topics they excel in; therefore I will create or adjust lesson plan to adapt to the students' needs.

I've worked with students for over 5 years now. I've done private tutoring for children between the ages of 4 to 13. I've helped middle school students with accent reduction. I am energetic and outgoing. I make friends quickly and I quickly adapt to new environments.

Working with you will be another step toward my long-term goal as a speech language pathologist seeking to work with Asian Americans and the deaf community. Thank you for taking the time to consider me for the available position. Please contact me when it is most convenient for you. I hope to work with you in the near future.

Sincerely, Tami Lee

Contrary to the stereotypical image of an Asian, I never really excelled in mathematics, but oddly enough I never felt ashamed of it. Instead, I've always enjoyed writing and editing my works whether I was in France or in English-speaking countries. Eventually my passion for words led the way for me to be consistently ranked on the honours' list. This was a quite a change for many Asian students in each of my respective schools and I'm proud to say that I led the change.

After graduating from university, while being employed in the field of editing, I was fortunate to have been asked to edit English research proposals from university professors and, U.N reports and governmental posters for a top-ranking university's geography department.

For as long as I can remember, empathy has been a virtue I've been holding onto dearly. It's an essential trait to make use of, especially in our respective society where social interactions are inevitable. Accordingly, I can say with confidence that empathizing with people and creating as well as maintaining a comfortable communication lane is one of my fortes.

I am planning to start my postgraduate studies at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) this coming September and it would be a great opportunity to be part of a team that strives to enlighten those whose main desire is to join a fine academic future.
