Matthew: United Kingdom: Oct 07, 2020

I am applying for the role of teacher of English as a foreign language. Having spent the last two years working in education as a teaching assistant at Hillbrook primary school, I know that I want to go into a career in teaching.

Taking the Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching course this summer was an experience I found not only hugely enjoyable, but intellectually demanding and highly fulfilling.

My experience on the CELTA course convinced me that teaching English as a foreign language was something I really wanted to do. I welcomed the opportunity to interact with a wide range of students and helping them to progress in their attempts to improve their ability to understand and communicate in English. Seeing the students on the course make progress was hugely fulfilling.

I feel that I am well suited to the role of English language teacher: I have not only a deep interest in educating students and helping them to progress in achieving their aims, but I also have an ever-increasing interest in the English language and what methods are best suited to its teaching. I am happy and confident in interacting with students and colleagues and I really enjoy working as part of a team.

I am also, of course, very interested in the travel opportunities that this job brings with it and would be very happy to emerse myself in a new country and culture.

I hope to hear from you soon
