Sir or Madame,

I am retired from the State of Georgia and SFS. I have worked most of my life and, I have concluded, retirement is boring. I wish to continue teaching because it gives me a sense of purpose, and allows me to put my talents, abilities, and experience to good use, and I have a wealth of experience.

I have experience and certifications in the following areas:

4th grade through grade 12

College level English (levels 1,2, and 3) (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced)

American and British curriculum

Teaching (History, Business Studies, Economics, ESL, & English)

TESOL certification

IELTS certification

Conversational English

Speaking and Writing English Effectively

English Vocabulary and Pronunciation

Introduction to Business and Travel English Language Skills

Social English Language Skills

Working with Students with Special Educational Needs

Training Instructor

Smarter Learning – Study Skills

Effective Communication Skills for Teachers

Storytelling

Planning and Development

Briefly, my philosophy concerning education is, “a person may obtain degrees and certificates, however, your education does not end when you graduate. Education never ends.” Employers will expect better than average performance from their employees. I try to impress upon my students, in order to succeed, “learn to learn” and “exceed expectations”.

With kind regards,

Richard Steven Smith
