Dear Recruiting Manager at gloii Korea ESL,
My name is Sophia Kim. I am a current 4th year student at Ringling College of Art and Design studying to graduate in May with a degree in Illustration and minor in Visual Development. I am writing to you to express my strong interest in the English/ESL Teacher position as I aspire to surround myself with other teachers and grow in the educative environment there through this experience. As a Korean American in the United States, I was put into ESL classes through my elementary years as I had initially struggled with the English language. However, my experience in the ESL program unlocked the potential in me to eventually become an Honors student in high school who took Advanced Placement courses. I am always incredibly thankful for the opportunity to had been in ESL classes as I was able to forge special bonds with my fellow peers and learn the power of education. Due to my upbringing, I had grown a fervent passion to help others in my university years to give back to the community. Whether it be fellow peers or students as a Student Ambassador, Orientation Leader, and Tutor, I am always humbled to have the opportunity to help. Along with this passion for teaching others, I can bring an enthusiastic attitude with a creative mindset that can build upon classroom lessons, problem-solving, and imagination.
As I see from the job description on your listing on LinkedIn, I believe that my skillset described in my resume will indicate that I am a strong candidate. I am fluent in the English language, proficient in Korean, and have conversational understanding of Spanish. While I was focusing on improving my technical skills at Ringling College of Art and Design, I have practiced and developed leadership, communication, and teamwork skills in association with fellow students, parents, and young children. As an Orientation Leader/Student Ambassador for first year students and a Student Government Board Member at Ringling College, I promoted and encouraged the growth of student activity on campus, ultimately stimulating a more creative and friendlier environment for students. Through these experiences, I came across the opportunity to teach ESL students at the local Booker Middle School as a tutor. In my role as a tutor, I assisted struggling students to learn new material in various subjects such as English, science, math, and art. During this length of time, I also was given the position to become the Campus Activities Coordinator to help organize and coordinate school events on campus and supervise school activity development. These opportunities have allowed me to befriend other students, teachers, and children, often teaching me as well to better myself as an individual and grow as a teacher and artist.
I dream of the opportunity to learn and connect with the professionals at gloii Korea ESL, and look forward to hearing back from you in the upcoming weeks about future opportunities. To make sure my application was received, I will follow up within two weeks! Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my application!
Sincerely,
Sophia Kim
