Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity to apply for an English teaching position. For your consideration, I’ve organized more detailed information of myself in my resume below.  

In my experience of teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), English teaching became essential to me as my career goals. My resume highlights my special skills, my education and work background which became helpful in my teaching.  I learnt both in school and university a lot about English as a global, spoken and written language, and then I used it as a language of communication in my daily life.

I gained a more practical experience of teaching English as a native English speaker in South Korea, teaching middle school students for a year. During this time, my ability to think creatively enabled me to use my education experience, the internet resources and English books with my teaching style, to create my own effective lessons, which became a positive influence to my student’s English learning interests. During vacation time, I participated in English programs, where I gained so much about Korean culture and people, which provided more ease for me to relate not only to my Korean students but, it also helped me to work well with my Korean English co teacher in providing conflict free and fun learning environment for the student’s and employer’s satisfaction.     

In conclusion, my special skills, my education and work background, combined with my positive personality, makes me more confident to recommend myself as a qualified ESL teacher for any teaching position either in South Korea or anywhere around the world. My contact details are also given in my resume for any questions you might want to ask about me.

Your’s sincerely  
Akhona Qamngwana.
