I am looking for an English teaching job in Cuba. Miroslav Ludva420 9 Ave SE, Alberta Calgary T2G 0R9 Canada 4. Th. February, 2009 Dear Director: I am a Canadian citizen and citizen of Czech Republic, who recently graduated from Global TESOL College with Professional Diploma in teaching TESOL and a specialization in teaching: Children, Adults, Business, TESOL for Non Native English Teachers, Teaching Grammar, Teaching TEFL Preparation, Tutoring English, Teaching Tourism English, and Graduate TESOL Course. I am actively looking to secure an EFL teaching position. I have always been impressed and interested in the culture of your country. At this time, I would like to immerse myself in your culture in order to not only learn more, but also to experience your wonderful country and its citizen’s first-hand. It was always my wish to master Mandarin, and I feel that only way to learn more is to immerse myself in your language. Most of all, I anticipate teaching the children of your country, who will bring great insight into my own understanding of children in general, mixed with cultural enlightenment. As you will see from my resume, I have had various opportunities to try out my teaching skills. I was 4 months English Teacher as Second Language in Nanjing College of Chemical Technology in China. I was a camp instructor for two summers; I was involved in-group guiding young people in politics for 6 years and have taught children to down hill ski for 6 years as a Ski instructor. Although these are not formal teaching experiences, I will be able to take many creative ideas and activities that I have learned from my various teaching experiences with children. You will also find that my personal characteristics are more than suited for teaching young learners. I have an abundance of energy and a high level of patience. I have a sincere love for children and enjoy creating a comfortable atmosphere where students not only learn, but also enjoy the learning process. I am very creative and know to keep children busy, whether it is through games, crafts, songs, or other activities. Most of all, I consider myself a friendly and outgoing individual who will not only help my students in the classroom, but I will also ensure that I will be an asset to the rest of your teaching staff. I wish to secure a teaching contract at your fine school after second part of October. Although most of my experiences have been with young children, I am open to teaching children and adults and at any level of English. Please contact me by the Internet. Then I will ask you when will be better to call you (in your time) in order to further discuss my qualifications.
