Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Marisel Vaccaro, I am from Chile, South America. I am writing to you because I saw your ad and I am expressing interest in becoming part of your staff as a Spanish native speaking teacher or as an ESL teacher. I believe, you are interested in increasing the number of personnel, since you are in frequent contact with this foreign environment. Even though I do not live in Asia, the amazing experience that I have gained with online classes encouraged me to apply to this position since I consider I possess the necessary qualities for this job and I am well-suited to this role; due to this global crisis, technology has broken boundaries making us stay in touch no matter the distance. I possess the skills and interest to be of benefit to help you in the process of teaching as a communicative tool for people’s future.
As a Spanish native speaker and also as an English teacher I know the process of teaching and learning a second language; I have good communication skills, I am very sociable, hard-working and organized; also, it is important to mention my experience based on kids, teenagers and adult people throughout my career as an ESL ten-year graduated teacher with a bachelor in Education and another in English language. Nowadays, I work at Santa Maria University, training students of different areas and nationalities. To do that, I give them the opportunity and confidence to converse in this language, I try to plan creative, entertaining, interesting and meaningful students’ presentation classes to engage and encourage them in the target language (At present, classes are online) Furthermore, coming from another culture it contributes to an international approach.
At first, I find out from my students what level they currently possess, then I design a curriculum with the goal of increasing their skills according to their future needs. I give students a firm foundation of proper grammar, vocabulary, and the ability to converse and write in English or Spanish intelligibly.
I am extremely passionate about sharing my knowledge with foreign people and help them have a brighter performance. Enclosed please find my resume and my teaching degrees. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Marisel Vaccaro Leiva.
