I was pleased to learn of your opening for an ESL Teacher through the TEFL Org website. I am a British expat living in Dubai for 5 years with 10+ years of experience working in the Eye Health industry.
I recently completed the TEFL 188 Hour virtual level 5 & teaching business english courses, which introduced me to a wide range of teaching techniques that will allow me to educate all styles of learners. The course also included a 20hr classroom session filled with numerous activities including planning and sourcing, to getting up and delivering fun and engaging lessons to English learners of all levels of ability. I am keen to apply my skills to a teaching position within your esteemed institution.
In my previous job I was fortunate to train and coach new staff within the workplace including teaching English to non native speakers. My strong initiative, exceptional organisational skills and ability to communicate well with a diverse range of people empowered me to pursue a career geared towards education. I am comfortable presenting in front of an audience, I enjoy working independently and as part of a team. Furthermore, I enjoy reading, photography and I am an active member of a voluntary group where we put our hobbies of sewing, crochet and knitting to good use by up-cycling pre-loved materials and turning it into brand new clothing for children in orphanages all over the world. In addition to making new items, I also lead a weekly session where I teach new enthusiasts to crochet.
My teaching philosophy is based on my belief that there are no failures, just results to learn from, no matter what happens you keep going, don’t give up, every so-called failure is a result you can learn from, every faltering step is still a step. Keep stepping and trying new things, learn by doing. I am here to make good things happen, I aim to bring an open mind, and a positive attitude to the classroom each day. I believe that I owe it to my students to bring patience, diligence, and warmth in the hope that I can ultimately inspire and encourage such traits in the students as well.
I hope after reviewing my CV you will agree that I would be a valuable addition to your team, as an ESL Teacher.
Thank you very much for your time
Kind regards
Shaistah
