why you wish to become an English teacher (or why and how you wish to develop further as a teacher) and how you consider yourself to be personally suited to teaching English as a foreign language.

After having taught English for about 16 years in numerous

language

schools in my homeland, it is time to break boundaries as a prestigious educator by taking some internationally acknowledged

teacher

training courses

such

as TESOL, CELTA and DELTA. Apart from my deep-rooted vocational experience, I

also

benefit from numerous essential traits prioritized as: ambition, creativity, sociability and patience.

First

, as far as I know myself, I have always wanted to be the best and most distinguished

person

Suggestion

people

persons

in my chosen career. When I was 20, I decided to get into university and get a degree in English literature because I believed that studying literature can help me acquire a deeper understanding of

this

language

.

Although

I was a freshman, I started teaching English in some

language

schools. Putting my foot in the door and making a name in my small hometown did not satisfy me, so I moved to Tehran, the capital of Iran.

One

thing good about living in

this

megacity

was that I worked with the most professional teachers in the same school, and they helped me elevate my pedagogical skills. After gaining experience for four years, I returned to Sanandaj to open my own

language

school, and according to many people, I’m

one

of the best IELTS instructors in my birthplace. In spite of the fact that I have accomplished several short-term goals in my career, I think my insatiable hunger for success is never-ending and I still need to progress.

Second

, I always search for the latest techniques, games and tasks before writing my lesson plans.

However

, as an original

teacher

, I do my best to modify them and come up with new activities. My students never get bored in

class

since they are always busy with several vivacious tasks in pairs and groups. Roleplaying different social skills, working in pairs and small groups, going on educational trips, motivating them to do some research and presenting some lectures are some examples of my

class

procedure.

Besides

, as the manager of a

language

school, I have weekly meetings with my colleagues to share our innovative thoughts and activities. In my perspective, creativity is an indispensable feature for teachers

since

Suggestion

for

students, classes and levels vary and diverse methods should be applied for handling these varieties. The

third

most important characteristic of mine for being a good

teacher

is that I am a sociable person who helps others a lot. I have good social skills as well as I am assertive. In fact, my flexible personality has enabled me to get along well with all my students. Parents always count on me as a confident person to help them solve their children’s problems.

For example

, Hussein was a disruptive student who was dismissed from several classes. He was suffering from a lot of complexes, so he used to disrupt classes and annoy other students. I accepted him in my

class

and

instead

of making a

teacher

-student atmosphere, I tried being a friend with him. I gave him a sense of being important, so after a while he became

one

of my best students. Hussein is an English

teacher

now who can love his own students and be a positive member in the society. I sometimes tell him that if he wants to be a perfect

teacher

, it’s very necessary for him to be gregarious and helpful.

Finally

, how is it possible to make a good

teacher

without enduring difficult circumstances? Teachers are supposed to be patient enough to tolerate difficulties

such

as disruptive students, critical parents, moody head teachers and sometimes low salaries. These problems are inevitable, so undoubtedly we have to improve our capacity to encounter them logically. Once

one

of my students had a brawl with

one

of his classmates outside the

class

and unfortunately, he continued it in the

class

. It was a tough situation which needed my immediate reaction. I decided to divide the

class

into small groups to talk about classroom etiquette. In a lively

class

, they all shared several great ideas in English and at the end of the

class

, they both

apologized each other

Suggestion

apologized to each other

and their classmates for their unacceptable

behavior

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

. My patience and logical decision for managing my

class

at that time helped me turn a threat into an opportunity for enhancing speaking ability and rebuilding friendship among my students. To sum up, on account of having vital characteristics

such

as my background in teaching and personal qualities, I predict an outstanding future for myself around the globe as a CELTA holder.
