Dear Sir or Madam:

I am responding to the employment opportunity listed on your website. Job Announcement: Portuguese

Teacher. Please accept this letter and accompanying resume as evidence of my interest.

I am native speaker from Brazil with Bachelor’s Degree in education. I have the following experience as

a Teacher at the 5th Grade to High School Level, Adult GED, and Administrative Assistant of Student

Records; these varied experiences make me uniquely qualified for this position. As a teacher, I enforced

the use of correct grammar and speech. Being resourceful, I used materials in addition to the curriculum

to help the students correlate the subject studied, as well as the study of literature focusing on the

linguistics and customs of each region. I tutored students who were struggling with the language. Finally,

my commitment is to increase writing, speaking, and reading skills both inside and outside the classroom

reinforcing learning through one on one.

As administrative assistant, I helped the faculty and staff to develop and to implement new curriculum

required by the state.

Also, I had School Training Experience which focused learning and teaching Rapid Route 4, Language

Pro (LPro), and CL-150 developing learning materials with resources such as Smart Board. My

experiences as teacher, administrative assistant of student records, bank personnel, salesperson, customer

service representative, and price coordinator, have prepared me for this position. I am an extremely

trustworthy and approachable individual that would be a valuable asset to any organization. I have

experience with Microsoft Word, Excel Spread Sheet, and Power Point programs. I am looking forward

to putting my experience to work as a member of your organization.

I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and to discuss my skills and qualifications that meet

the needs of your company. Attached is my resume for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Edinea Feeley
