Personal Introduction
Dear hiring manager,
Please consider me an enthusiastic applicant for an English teaching position with your organization.
As a native English speaking, experienced English teacher and business professional, with a BBA and several years of professional writing and public speaking experience, I am looking forward to teaching others how to write and speak in the English language.
With the school I currently work for, I have been lucky enough to experience the thrill of teaching children and teens how to speak English, and have realized that teaching is a true passion of mine.
Coupled with my passion for public speaking and for teaching, I have a great appreciation for the Korean culture; I've lived in Seoul since October 2010 and have wanted to stay in your great country since my arrival.
At your convenience, please see my attached reference letter and resume.
Should you feel that I may be a good fit with your school, please email or phone me back, using the contact information available.
