My name is Marcus and I am writing to you regarding the English Teacher position in Da Nang that you posted on Facebook. I currently live and work in the United States and I am seeking an opportunity to work and live in Vietnam, specifically in Da Nang.
I have 10 years as a certified teacher in North Carolina, holding a master's degree in teaching and a Level 5, 168 hour TEFL certification earned in May. Although I am new to teaching English as a second language as a single subject, my classroom experience has provided me with the skills to be a successful ESL teacher. I am passionate about teaching because I want to see our youth successfully attain their educational goals. My current subject area is special education. In this capacity, I design and implement educational plans according to specific student needs. I also teach reading and math. I believe that in our present world, nothing is more important than a student getting a good education to help them become responsible and productive community citizens.
