Personal Introduction
To whom it may concern:
I am interested in jobs in the field of teaching English as a second language. I consider that my credentials and interests match with your requirements.
I have 3 years of teaching experience as an English Language Instructor in Korea. I am confident that my combination of practical work experience and solid educational experience has prepared me for making an immediate contribution to your institute. I am also TESOL certified. I consider my computer skills to be quite advanced. I am currently in pursuit of obtaining my Masters.
I understand the level of professionalism and communication required for long-term success in this field. My background and professional approach to teaching will provide your institution with a highly productive instructor. My position as an English Language Instructor and TESOL background has allowed me to further develop and strengthen my communication skills. I believe that I could make a significant and valuable contribution to any institution, if I am given the opportunity to do so.
Presently, I am deputed as an English Language instructor at Sinbaek Elementary School. During these past three years I have equipped myself with functions such as creating a fun, safe, and thriving environment to provide direct instruction to students. Although, I am enjoying my present job, I am looking out for new opportunities in the same field.
I will be available to commence employment from the 15th of October 2011.I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my education and experience will be helpful to you.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
