I am writing to you to express my interest in the teaching roles that you have available in South Korea. Having completed a 120-hour TEFL course I am a fully qualified EFL Teacher. On this course I completed modules which included grammar, methodology, teaching young learners, teaching large classes and lesson planning experience. This has given me more confidence in a classroom environment and the ability to teach the English language effectively.
I also gained strong teaching experience while I was completing my Gold Duke of Edinburgh award, when I volunteered at my local Girls Brigade (youth club) and helped look after the younger children (aged 4-10). During this role I assisted them with their basic reading/writing skills as well as carrying out various activities such as arts and crafts and playing games. This experience gave me the opportunity to gain strong communication and leadership skills that I will be able to apply to my teaching style if selected for this role. In addition to this, I also have experience working with a young boy of 15 with learning difficulties. While he was in my care, I learned how to handle his spontaneous behaviour which allowed me to develop a strong sense of patience and empathy. I understand these traits are essential in any teaching role as it is important to understand the students basic needs to help them improve.
I also hold a BA (Hons) degree in Accounting. During my time studying this degree at university I gained many skills, such as organisation, teamwork, time management and adaptability. I would use these skills to create a stable and productive classroom environment to ensure the lessons are always as effective as possible.
As an individual I am enthusiastic, hardworking and optimistic. I enjoy being around other people and exploring different countries and cultures which is why this job would be the perfect fit for me. Taking all my experience into consideration I believe my experience associates well with the qualifications you are seeking, and I will use these skills and this experience to help students reach their highest potential and improve their competency of the English language.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Please note I am applying as a couple with Greig Scarff who has also put in a application.
Kind regards,
Ellen McGonagle
