Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a graduate of Bachelor of Secondary Education, major in English, with five years of teaching experience abroad. I took my academic training (Magna cum laude), initial field practice, and licensure examination test in The Philippines. However, I have been teaching ESL, primarily focused on listening and speaking skills, from kindergarteners to middle school students in Thailand since 2012. I have exposure to tasks such as curriculum development, teacher training, administrative duties, teacher evaluation, interschool competitions, article writing and thesis editing. I am currently the head of the Foreign Languages Department at my school.
My teaching career coupled with the theocratic training I have been receiving for several years now have definitely developed my interpersonal skills on how to deal with people with different nationalities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and varied personalities. I believe that having a love for people is immensely correlated to the success of interaction and bond formation. I am patient and I work hard to achieve quality output. Although teaching in my current school is an exciting and educative profession, I am looking forward to trying other avenues towards professional development like working at your company.
I sincerely appreciate your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Sherilyn M. del Prado
