To Whom It May Concern:

It is with great pleasure that I apply for an ESL/EFL couples teaching job (with Maja Srndic) at a Hagwon in Seoul. 

My experience teaching and instructing children, as well as my BA and MA in Philosophy, make me an excellent candidate for an ESL/EFL teaching position. My educational background has provided me with exceptional English language skills and my experience as a Teaching Assistant has taught me how to teach these skills to students. Additionally, my extensive volunteer experience has provided me with the skills needed to instruct and attend to the needs of children. I am an organized, kind, and conscientious person who enjoys teaching, and is dedicated to the quality of my work. I am applying for a teaching position in Seoul because I am interested in living and working in Korea.

As a teacher of ESL/EFL, I will motivate my students to learn English, and do so in creative and fun ways. I will address the learning needs of individual students, and teach each student accordingly.

Please find enclosed my resume and a photo of myself. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to speaking with you further.

Sincerely,

Cale Noonan
