To the GLOII Consulting recruitment team,
I am writing to be considered for the role of English Teacher in South Korea. As a native English speaker, a first-class graduate from the
University of Bristol and soon-to-be TEFL-qualified English teacher, I
am motivated to start my journey as an ESL teacher, helping students
gain confidence and competence in English through engaging,
needs-based instruction.
I have over 1 year of relevant classroom experience. Currently, I work
as a Teaching Assistant at a primary school in London, where I support
young learners to develop literacy skills through 1:1 and group
phonics, grammar and writing instruction (as well as mathematics,
science and humanities.) This requires organisation and patience –
crucial characteristics of an ESL teacher, and has given me practical
experience in lesson planning and monitoring student progress. I have
worked in a range of educational settings which has required me to be
adaptable to meet the needs of students of different backgrounds and
abilities. To further demonstrate my commitment to the education
sector, I will mention that I intend to obtain a PGCE to become a
fully qualified English educator.
My TEFL Level 5 Certificate (168 hours) from The TEFL Academy has
provided me with a solid foundation in ESL teaching methodology,
lesson planning, classroom management and the creation of teaching
materials. I am drawn to the communicative approach as I believe that
languages are best acquired through functional use. I will encourage
my students to produce language with high levels of accuracy and
fluency through a combination of guided instruction and free practice.
I have every confidence that I will thrive as an educator at your
Language School in South Korea.
South Korea's dynamic cultural and educational landscape greatly appeals to
me and I would be thrilled to have the chance to develop my career as
an educator whilst living in a new country. I am motivated to
contribute to your school’s mission as a self-motivated and
team-oriented teacher. With my strong academic background, classroom
experience and student-centred ethos, I would be an asset to your
teaching team.
I am grateful for your consideration, and welcome the chance to
discuss my suitability for this role further.
Kind regards,
Kaitlin Wallace
