Dear Human Resources Manager:
My name is Rachel Preston. I am currently teaching English online to Chinese children with VIP Kid based in Beijing and English for Canada based in Brazil. I look forward to expanding my career path into this exciting field of tutoring with Hioffer.com. I am delighted to become one of your teachers.
Since March 2016 until the present I have been teaching English online to Chinese children with VipKid where I gain invaluable experience working with Chinese children every day. I learn how to listen and gain invaluable communication and learning skills.
In March 2017 I started teaching English online with English for Canada which is based in Brazil. I enjoy teaching adults the nuances and the complex grammar involved with the English language as well. Here I teach adults how to speak and read English correctly. I also help students with their spelling and reading comprehension as well.
I look forward to hearing from you soon at your earliest convenience. You can e-mail me at ac0ps9@r.postjobfree.com.
Regards,
Rachel Preston
