Dear Sir/Madam,
I was excited to find your posting for an English as a Second Language teacher. I strongly identify with the goal of cross-cultural communication and global citizenship. I am confident that I would make an excellent addition to your teaching team because of my passion for helping students, my teaching and cultural experiences, and my TEFL qualifications.
I tutored English and science to beginner, intermediate, and advanced students of various cultural and linguistic backgrounds in Scotland. I earned my TEFL certification after completing a Level 5 140-hour course. Through my teaching experiences and TEFL studies, I developed critical pedagogic and classroom management skills, along with a passion for teaching English.
I'm equipped with the Communicative Teaching Method, I apply this method in the classroom through interactive, student-centred activities that maximize “student talk time.” I scaffold my lessons so that they include pair and group work, as well as movement around the classroom. By engaging students in speaking, grammar, writing, listening, and reading and appealing to diverse learning styles, I help them improve their accuracy and fluency across key skill areas.
I understand both the excitement and the challenges that accompany learning a new language and living abroad. In my classes, I typically set aside five to ten minutes at the start of each class for students to share their “highs” and “lows” for the week, an activity that my students have appreciated as they adapted to new surroundings. I aim to support students’ social-emotional well-being as they learn English and deepen their global awareness.
I look forward to speaking with you to discuss your specific needs and my ability to meet them. I'd be thrilled to join a team of globally-minded educators dedicated to high-quality language instruction. Please feel free to contact me at 07730270443 or zohaibzahid1@gmail.com. Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Zohaib Zahid
