To whom may it concern,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to apply for the post of AP Chemistry teacher in Qingdao. I am very intrigued and highly motivated to be at service in your school.

My educational background includes 2 & half years at an American International School in Bangladesh, 4 years of a boarding school (Kent, UK), 3 years of college in the East London to be called very diverse.

Along the way I have interacted with many people from various backgrounds and have learned the presence of different worldviews. These experiences have provided me with an insight into more harmonious way of life in the international setting.

As a teacher, I have lived in Vietnam to teach students going to International schools for a year. On top of that I have over 10 years of teaching students at international school in Korea.

My specialties at the various academy was to send students to the medical & dental schools in the US or the UK.

I have lived and breathed teaching esl in Korea for the last 2 and a half years. I have watched Korean students learn Engllish and grow exponentially. I've tried my best to teach my students the English language the way I learned it in school with the tools I learned through work and my tesol certificate. I may be not as decorated as the next person but I am honest, dedicated ,diligent and with the right chance I can get the job done. All I desire is to live a good life with my fiance doing what comes natural which is teaching esl.

My strength lies in my proficiency in English communication at the level of an overseas Korean in English spoken countries,allowing me to throughly prepare for lessons and effectively meet the needs of students with various learning styles. While I have my own teaching methods, I am also open to different ways of thinking and approaches to education. I constantly strive to learn and apply more efficient methods if they are available. Through years of teaching experience, I learned how to naturally build and maintain a strong rapport with my students.

Hello,
Please accept my application to teach online. I have excellent experience in IB and AP Economics, as well as IB TOK. I am an examiner for both IB Econ and IB TOK. I also have been teaching online for 10 years.

My teaching philosophy is student centered. Relationship building is very important so that students feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. I enjoy teaching online and look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,
Melissa Kendall

Having grown up overseas, I was born in Korea, but find English to be my L1.
As mentioned above I have taught in variously different environments. I enjoy the challenge because I realize the challenges make me a stronger and better teacher in the future. The first time I even started thinking of becoming a teacher was when I was in middle school. My English teacher Mr. Peters made a huge impact on my life as a student and as a person. His class was always unique and fun and for the first time, it was fun to learn and study. I also noticed changes in my classmates as well. From the class we all became friends. From that, I wanted to become someone like him, who could not just teach well, but also change and make an impact on each student's life.
After my time in Ethiopia, my passion for learning grew more, realizing that learning is a privilege and not something to be taken for granted. So throughout these unexpected experiences in my life, I am growing to become a teacher that really wants to do better every single day. My wish is to also impact the kids to want to learn and to understand how fun learning is. I hope to truly teach the kids well but also learn throughout the process.
