About Me
Introduction:
I am a highly motivated and experienced native ESL teacher holding a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts as well as a CELTA certificate from the University of Cambridge.
I have worked at universities, colleges, language centers and international high schools in Turkey and the U.S. instructing students from various backgrounds, age groups and all facets of society.
Having been born in Germany and raised in the U.S., I was brought up bilingually. Besides my Native languages English and German, I speak fluent Turkish and intermediate Spanish. Being a multilingual ESL teacher enables me to relate to, understand and students effectively.
With my passion for teaching, cultural sensitivity and international experience, I think I would be an ideal fit for your needs.
The enclosed resume, diplomas, classroom photos and reference letters will showcase my dedication and passion for education.
Should you have further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me via Skype (damla_lingoda), email (dfeist87@hotmail.com) or telephone ( +1 407 283 3969 ).
I'm looking forward to hearing back from you.
Sincerely,
