Personal Biography
My name is John. Below is a personal biography of why I work in Education.
I am a teacher because I want to try and make a difference in young people's lives be it at early childhood or adult education level. I want to share my love of learning, create relationships with my students, listen to my students, collaborate with them, adapt to their learning need, and most importantly show empathy and patience when needed. I also want to create an engaging classroom presence and put emphasis on the value of real-world learning. I am interested in international education as i have already worked internationally. I have seen most of Asia and other parts of the middle east. I have IB PYP experience and I want to expand my career in education internationally. I am a good listener. I develop rapports with my students. I motivate them as i am a very extroverted individual. I have 12 years teaching experience in three different continents. I have learned that students in different countries have different educational needs and desires, the culture in Dubai for example is completely different to the culture in China and also the curriculums are different. My main achievement as a teacher is my own growth as an instructor. Which to me is because of each and every student I've had the honor of instructing. continuing to strive in my educational strengths and focusing and improving my weaknesses. I want to move up the ladder in education. Gain more experience in the field of IB and other international school curricula. Maybe one day to become a principal or even to own my personal set of international schools. I am a well-travelled individual. I can bring a wealth of knowledge to the classroom. I can get children and young people out into the real world and provide them with challenging, exciting and different experiences to help them learn and use of places other than the school for teaching and learning. I am a sporty person and I also like to dance so I can enthrall the students and the parents with Irish culture.
Thank you Kind regards John

Experience / Qualifications

Good day

I have twelve years in the field of teaching English as a second language.
My family and I currently live in Gueliz, Marrakech.
My family and I returned to Ireland in August 2022. I taught English to second language to adult learners in my home city of Limerick back in Ireland. I have experience teaching all aspects of the English language to elementary, pre intermediate and IELTS level learners.
I worked as a preschool teacher in Golden Apple International preschool and kindergarten in Chengdu, Sichuan, China from September 2021 to July 2022.
I focused on the characteristics of effective learning which are engagement, motivation and thinking. My philosophy focuses on how children learn. They do this by developing habits of mind, what I call the keys to success. As a teacher we should intentionally plan, teach and access against each of the keys in order to create resilient, adaptable, enlightened and ethical scholars.
From September 2020 to May 2021, I worked in Shanghai Huaer Collegiate preschool and
kindergarten in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province in China.
From April 2019 to July 2020, I worked for I2 International Institute of Education in Chengdu.
Previously to that I worked in the UAE for two years. I was an employee at Express English language
school in Business Bay Dubai, UAE. I taught IELTS, Business and General English to Adults. I also worked for ES Dubai Edline Education in Dubai and Al Zuhour Private School in Sharjah.
I worked for five years as an ESL teacher in South Korea.
I believe my hands-on experience; practical working knowledge and academic qualifications will be well suited to meet your goals and expectations. I completed my university of Nottingham PGCEi in July 2023. I wish to expand my career in education. I am also TEFL and CELTA qualified.
I have IB PYP experience.
I am married and have a five-year-old baby boy.
Yours sincerely,
John
