Cover Letter.

.

I don't have a bachelor's degree. I was born in London, England. I have always spoken my mother tongue which is English. I am a Native English Speaker. I have excellent grammar and pronunciation. I taught EFL for a month in Equador, I taught at a TEFL college in London, and I lived and worked for nearly a year and a half in Beijing, China teaching English. In China I taught mostly children between the ages of five and ten, though there are adults in companies that need higher levels of English for business.

I am very good with younger children perhaps because of my sensitive nature, and ability to provide plenty of attention at the right time. I enjoy improving the confidence, pronunciation, and grammar of the student(s), because I'm a Native English speaker, it's easy for me to improve the student's ability to converse (talk in English), conversing and using oral English is very important and useful for them, often they have been taught terminology, and are told it is the key to learning how to speak in English. Their previous teachers may have learnt English as a science. When students can talk with confidence they are happy, when they are happy they are confident, when they are happy and confident they learn more effectively.

I have a CELTA, and because of my excellent English I can proof-read any document of the company I'm working for.

I can start as soon as you need me to start. If you need me to improve on my level of qualifications by working and studying at the same time I would be happy to do that, and if you need me to relocate I would be happy to relocate anywhere.
