How can I improve my CV (for TEFL jobs)??? Important, super important!!?

Hi,

I feel badly about asking complete strangers for such a huge favor, but I'm not pressuring anyone to help me. I'm asking because it means so much to me to get the job I'm searching for and I don't have anyone at home to look at my CV for me... my friends are all busy and I haven't told my parents I'm going to Mexico to teach English and they're going to be upset when they find out. I don't have any siblings who are willing to help me. I'd just like to know how I can improve my CV. I'm applying for TEFL jobs. Please no rude or mean comments... I'm already feeling badly because people have been rude and nasty to me all day. I live in a town called High Point and nearly everyone is hateful here.

I changed my name, and the asterisks are there because I didn't want to put private information on the internet, so I took out private information (my address, where I go to church, etc.) and replaced it with asterisks.

Thanks so much if you can help me. Here is my CV. I copied and pasted it so the formatting came out a bit wonky, I created it on Office Writer and it looked okay.

I recently earned my TESOL Trinity College Certificate and have additional classroom experience that I would like to employ in my teaching career. I successfully completed my TEFL course in Barcelona, Spain, where I successfully completed a teaching practice which included teaching adult students at the pre-intermediate and advanced levels. I have been substitute teaching (elementary, middle and high school level) for nearly three years. In addition, I have taught a Beginning Spanish class for adults every Fall and Spring since September 2007. In addition to being a native speaker of English, I am very fluent in spoken and written Spanish. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and I spent my last Spring and Fall semester studying at the Tec de Monterrey in Cuernavaca, Morelos.
