Dear prospective employer,

I hope this message finds you all in good health and high spirits. My name is Ryan Rollinson, and I am excited to introduce myself as a valuable candidate for an ESL teaching position at your company/ school.
Originally from South Africa, I have had the privilege of teaching English to kids in China, Vietnam, and Hong Kong over the course of 5 years, gaining valuable experience along the way. (Contact & online)
Teaching is not just a profession for me, it's a passion. I genuinely love working with kids and adults alike and find great joy in helping them grow and learn. As an English teacher, my goal is to create a welcoming and engaging environment where students can develop their language skills with confidence. In my classes, you can expect a fun and energetic atmosphere. I believe that enthusiasm is contagious and that learning should be an enjoyable experience. I am patient with my students, understanding that everyone learns at their own pace.
Beyond this I am looking to work while simultaneously studying to obtain a PGCE, therefore adding greater value to the school I work for and the students I teach.
I look forward to forming part of your employ!

As a recent graduate of the University of Galway, acquiring a Bachelor of Arts in English, I am keen to put my studies to work in the field of teaching.
Though as of yet I have no experience in teaching english, I have worked with young children of all ages teaching guitar, which has similarities to running a classroom.
I am a hard working, enthusiastic learner and I am extremely dedicated in everything I pursue.
