Candidates About

Dear prospective employer,

I believe I would be the perfect teacher for you. This is because I am an experienced teacher, having spent the last year teaching at ILA English here in Hanoi. I have experience teaching students of all levels and ages, from pre-Kindergarten, all the way up to adult classes. I am a bright, enthusiastic and interesting person, which really translates into my classes. My classes are never boring, as I tailor my lesson to the students I am teaching. This is because I have a genuine passion to teach the English language. I am highly adaptable to varying cultures due to the extensive travelling I have done in the past as well as my experiences teaching in Thai schools as well as my experience over the last year teaching at ILA. I believe I would be an excellent teaching assite TEFL certificate, which included teaching classes of various ages from Kingergarten and Primary School, to adult learners. I completed the course with an A grade for both the grammatical component and the Observed Teaching Practice component.

I have attached a copy of my resume for you to review. My email address is alex.r.speirs@gmail.com, and my cell phone number is +84899317804. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have further questions.

I appreciate your consideration and look forward to hearing from you soon.
