Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to apply for the post of volunteer teacher at Happy Mind Charity Centre. I saw the advertisement in the Youth Newspaper on February 22nd. (Paragraph 1)
I have experience teaching young children. Actually, last summer, I spent two months being a tutor for a group of primary students in my area. I taught them Vietnamese and Mathematics. Their school work got much better after that. (Paragraph 2)
I am creative, patient and I have a great love for children. I can send you two references from me teachers and two from my students’ parents. (Paragraph 3)
I am available for an interview any day after school or at weekends. If my application is successful, I can start teaching from next month in the afternoon and at weekends. (Paragraph 4)
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Tran Manh Quan.
