RE: English Teacher Application

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to apply for a position as an English Teacher at your school starting at the end of February, 2022. Please find below some general information along with a short statement outlining my abilities and aims as a teacher, then attached is my resume along with two written references.

Name: Imogene Charlotte Spencer (Charley)

Nationality: Australian

Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree, CELTA

Time Teaching in South Korea: 2 years

Total Paid Teaching Hours: 4,170 (Adults/Kindergarten)

As a dedicated Teacher, I am adept in my ability to deliver an inspiring education focusing on student's productive and receptive English skills, as well as their social development and growth. I am a highly driven, creative individual with a cheerful and positive attitude. I find great satisfaction in helping my students learn and seeing them reach their goals both academically and personally. I have excellent communication skills and strive to make meaningful relationships with both students and coworkers. I am competent in using relevant Mac and PC software, including but not limited to Excel, Word, Publisher and Photoshop.

I have three and a half years experience working in the area of Teaching English as a Second Language for reputable schools in both Seoul, South Korea and Perth, Western Australia. I completed my CELTA Certificate at Milner International College of English in Perth, Australia in 2018. Following my completion of the course I was offered a position at the school immediately, where I remained teaching General English to adults for around 18 months. I moved to Seoul, South Korea in February 2020 and have worked as a Kindergarten Teacher from then until present.

I have a vast range of skills within the necessary areas of the ESL Teaching Industry that are all fitting for the position of an English Teacher. Along with my passion for education, my experience in the design and production industry has helped me become an approachable, organized and imaginative educator. Please find attached my resume for your convenience. I look forward to meeting you and hearing from you soon.
