Personal Introduction
To whom it may concern,
I have taught for over two years in South Korea and have volunteered abroad in between doing so working with small children always and older middle school age students throughout.
The enclosed resume will highlight my career achievements and my dedication to education. Being a versatile educator, I have taken the opportunity to instruct and work with a wide variety of students from different backgrounds and all facets of society. As a result, I am a compassionate teacher, who remains sensitive to children's unique needs, employs effective listening, provides individual and whole group support, integrates multicultural teaching units, and offers positive encouragement and reinforcement to keep students focused and motivated.
One of the most effective ways that I assist ESL students is by developing and presenting comprehensible and stimulating lessons that facilitate all learning styles. I believe firmly in presentation, practice and production whilst using a variety of different strategies and techniques to accomodate students via visual, audio, tactile and kinesthetic methods. In addition, I integrate literature, writing, phonics activities, and technology to ensure that each child is able to comprehend and retain the concepts and language. My goal is to foster and maintain an open, honest, communicative, and a friendly supportive classroom, in which each student feels safe, secure, special, and appropriately challenged.
I can start immediately and I am attaching my resume, photo, letter of reference and my CELTA teching certificate.
I would enjoy the opportunity to meet with you personally in order to discuss how my diverse skills and experience will enable me to make a valuable contribution to your school. I thankyou for your time and consideration.
