An entrance letter to my english learning center in Korea [3]
Hello, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Hanna Choi, and I am twenty
- four years old.
There are four people in my family and they are very important to me. I love my family, and I have high respect
s for my parents. I am very interested in a teaching position at JLS and I am ready to provide good lesson
s for students with all my knowledge, efforts, and abilities. Even though I was born in Korea, my family immigrated to America
n when I
was 14. I lived in California for
10 years . I thought carefully about my future during my high school
years , especially about what I would do in 20s and 30s. When I was young, I always wanted to become an elementary teacher. I studied hard and also got alongwell with classmates in elementary school. When my family went to America
for living , my dad could not go with us, so only my mom, my sister, and I lived together. Dad just visited us once a year from Korea. When we first went to America, I really had
a hard time understanding and speaking English.
Thus , I spent most of my time studying for English so I
could catch up in school with American students. After two years of hard
work , I was able to communicate well with other students, and I enjoyed going school
after that . I also participated in
the school
music band and choir for three years
too . While I was in high school, I tutored middle school students
in English, especially the students who came from Korea. I learned a lot
while teaching my students.
It felt great to be teaching English and learning at the same time. When I was a senior in high school, I could not decide what
to major in , so I decided to go to a community college first and
later transfer to
a University . I went to De Anza College in Cupertino, California and transferred to University of California, San Diego in
fall of 2009. I majored in Economics at UCSD. I also
graduated early from UCSD because I put an effort to finish all my graduation requirements in one year. Although my major was Economics, I am passionate about teaching English and I can show students how it is great to learn language and other countries' cultures at the same time. I love teaching and getting to know new people too. I am very outgoing and easy to talk to. Because I was in California for about
10 years , I would like to spend rest of my time in Korea with
a career in teaching. I am
proficient in making
Powerpoint presentations as well . In addition, I would like to work for
the JLS center because of its high reputation and its ability to offer excellent welfare. If I could work there, I would like to be in
an American curriculum where I
could teach middle school students. I also want to contribute and learn and grow with your company. I want to
gain experience and improve
my teaching skills at JLS center.
Here are some suggestions!
P.S.- The two sentences in which you talk about your relationship with your family seem redundant. Perhaps consolidate the two into one?
Cheers-
