Dear Director
My name is Duncan Stewart, I am an enthusiastic teacher and I would love to work for you in Korea. I have gained previous experience working in Korea teaching at The Prime English Institute in Incheon, and for EdUp an after school programe in Seoul.  I am responsible and experienced in teaching English as a second language and I have gained an in depth understanding of Korean educational culture. Whether it is anything from producing classroom resources, to taking students for fun outdoor activities, or simply offering encouragement. I have the capabilities required for an enjoyable and educational classroom atmosphere. I also have a wide range of interests which allow me to relate well to both students and staff members alike. This can often make things easier when fitting a teacher into a new school or classroom.

This was just a brief introduction to what I have to offer you, and I hope that it already has you thinking about how I can contribute to you, your organisation, and its goals. If you have anymore questions please contact me any time during the day using the details above.

Thank you for you consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

yours sincerely,

Duncan Stewart
