Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am writing to apply for a position as an English language teacher with GLOII this summer, a position for which I feel I am highly qualified.
I am a highly professional, results-driven TEFL teacher with over ten years’ experience in the development and delivery of language programs to a wide variety of clients encompassing diverse backgrounds, beginners to advanced, from young learners to business professionals. I have experience of working on Summer schools in the UK and Spain, which also involved boarding duties and the organisation of and participation in activities.
My qualifications include a Professional TEFL Certificate and a Master’s degree in International Studies. My professional experience includes over ten years as an English teacher in Zimbabwe, The UK, Japan, China and Spain.
As a teacher at Idiomas Seif in Madrid, I oversaw the instruction of over 200 students in a multi-lingual environment and personally trained many in the Cambridge exams and London Trinity certificates. This role demanded the regular creation of learning materials, the teaching of lessons, workshops and intensive courses, the preparation of progress reports and delivery of in-house testing. I helped oversee a period where the school achieved among the best student retention rates in the country and was commended for my performance due to very positive student feedback. I did teacher observations and enjoyed very much giving feedback and passing on my experience.
As an English Instructor in Zimbabwe, I gained a wealth of experience teaching young learners. This involved developing customised materials for each class in trying conditions. I’m currently teaching English to students aged 11-17 at a school in Chongqing, China. I am also the school football coach and I often participate in excursions and other extra-curricular activities.
With my skills, international experience, Summer school experience and love for language education, I believe I would be an ideal fit for your Summer program. I would welcome the opportunity to work with you to deliver the highest standards of English language teaching and I look forward to being able to discuss the position with you further.

Yours sincerely,
Simon Perry
