 Hello, it is with great enthusiasm that I submit my application for the teaching position for this Academy. I am a fluent English speaker that was born in Irving, Texas and graduated from UNT (University of North Texas). I am a graduate that has a deep passion for teaching English and being a part of the Korean culture. Not only that, but I was blessed to teach English in Korea for almost 3 years and learned a lot from that experience. I have gained knowledge and methods to teach in a way that’s fun and effective for the students. I am an energetic and hardworking teacher that have some depth when it comes to the students mentality. So, I connect well with them while also knowing when to be stern when I have to be.

 Repetition is the mother of skills and through repetition I believe I have acquired the right balance and attributes for teaching. I am a teacher that has a strong sense for perseverance and to not waste the time and effort for the people who are running this Academy. I know being punctual is very important in any work environment; I was never late and missed zero working days. Not only am I really looking forward to teaching English at this Academy. But I am a teacher that knows how important it is to align with the Director’s vision when doing my job. 

 I am a listener that integrates and utilizes what the Director wants while following specific instructions and guidelines. As long as I get the proper training that I need. I am good with team work and try my best to bring success to the Academy I work for by contributing and doing my best to bring positive results to the table. 3 years’ experience in teaching lead me to become even more flexible and responsive. As a matter of fact I get along with any co-workers, because I always carry my own weight and get assignments such as grading papers and writing/checking monthly reports done on time. I actually liked to get things done ahead of time so I don’t have to constantly keep holding onto agendas. I am also hardworking, productive and studious when it comes to learning and adapting to the environment I am in. Mainly because I know every Academy has a slightly different ways of running things. 

 I enjoy being an English teacher and am currently passionate about it and always do my best to carry on with integrity. Since I teach children, I try not to have a wooden personality but an active and playful one. I actually care and am supportive of the Academy I work for; I really want the Academy I work for to constantly be successful and do better. Through my diverse work background, I managed to learn to be disciplined and always keep track of time.

I also integrate patience and understanding into the equation as well. Since everyone’s personalities, points of views and characteristics are different from one another. Empathy can be a very useful trait when dealing with certain students, especially middle school students. I say this, because my job there is to teach and keep a good learning environment for the students. I am a visual learner, thus I learned a lot while actually teaching and getting a better understanding of the process and materials. It took some time since I started out as a novice, but now have the skills to teach students and provide a memorable and yet fun learning experience for the students. I am also well versed in communication as well and have good people skills, regardless of differences in culture or language barriers. So, I am proficient at upgrading the capabilities of the students when it comes to interacting in English.

 I would really like this opportunity. Thus, I will put the utmost effort, care and dedication to what I do for this Academy. I can guarantee that most of the students I teach at this Academy will really like me as their teacher. I looked at the guidelines, the criteria and the terms as a teacher for This Academy. I think teaching kids is livelier and keeps me more focused. Maybe because I have matured mentally (although I still have more to learn), but still energetic and young at heart. Thank you very much for your time and I really look forward for getting contacted for an interview. Thanks again.
