My experience as an ESL instructor, a student of Foreign language and a traveler, has increased
my passion and appreciation for languages and how one language can turn the world into a
global village. I strongly believe with this solid background coupled with my passion I am an
ideal candidate for the Teaching position in your company. Therefore, as a successful TESOL
certified candidate, I will bring a reflective 5 years’ experience of learning a foreign language
and 11 years volunteering in different countries with communities who speak English as a second
language. These are my strengths and skills that I will utilize in my Teaching position to produce
excellence in our students.
I have experience teaching elementary-level students and adults in a variety of settings. I am
currently teaching English to children with an online company and enjoy working with children
of all ages. I have been able to implement various teaching methods while taking into
consideration the student’s cultural background and communicational interpretation. For
Instance, I have been able to incorporate teaching tools such as the “Massive Muscle Memory,”
the use of descriptive gestures to enhance student’s memory retention, and the “Jazz Chant,” the
turning of sentences into Jazz rhythms and clapping along. Both improve the student’s speaking
ability and helps with accent reduction. These techniques have proven to be effective methods
for ESL students from High-Context Cultures. I have learned that my energetic personality and
passion for children have been some of my strengths in keeping my students interested, awake
and able to excel at their language learning skills. As a foreign language speaker (French)
myself, I can relate to students’ feelings, concerns and challenges about learning another
language. Being able to understand a student’s perspective gives me an advantage that will help
me to easily connect with them on a different level and provide them with practical and effective
ways to excel in language speaking. Your company’s objective is to effectively teach children
English in a non-strict easygoing setting and I am confident that I have the character, practical
knowledge and experience needed to produce excellence in our students to become fluent
English speakers.
I can relate to our students because I too am learning a foreign language. Therefore, given an
opportunity to serve in this role, I will be sure to unleash my experience along with my
enthusiasm to be a caring teacher to our students and an effective team member of your
company. I would welcome an interview to further discuss my credentials and passion to helping
students learn English. Looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
