Seeking Full-Time Teaching Employment

November 18, 2010

I am a graduate from the University of Wisconsin Madison with a degree in International Studies. I am currently working as an English teacher and Student Advisor at an ESL school in Madison, Wisconsin called MESLS. Upon completion of my one-year contract with MESLS in August of 2011, it is my goal to obtain a teaching post in China, preferable in Shanghai. I have experience teaching English at three different professional facilities, working with a diverse group of students.

As an International Studies major, the interaction among cultures is a passion of mine. Throughout my college career, I have been influenced by the international culture of Madison, WI, as well as my experience working within the realm of international studies at the UN in New York City. I seek to learn more about the Chinese language and culture while I teach English there. I believe my drive to share knowledge of different languages and societies would be an important addition to any ESL team.

If you require any further information about me or have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time. You may reach me by email at: bjaynelowe@gmail.com or by phone at: (765) 586-7189. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
