Native English speaker and qualified linguist, I can help students improve their conversational skills

Dear Sir or Madam,

I wish to apply to work with you as a part-time Online Tutor of English as a Foreign Language.

I am a native speaker of British English with a BA (Hons) in French and German (Language and Linguistics) and an MSc in Translation and Technology.

A linguist by nature and trade, I currently work as a freelance translator, proofreader and editor and boast experience in private tutoring of beginners’ French and as a classroom volunteer for French in a primary school.

My love of languages and linguistics is what led me to my educational and career choices, and what motivates me to help others acquire a foreign language. One of the focuses of my BA degree course was second language acquisition, which is an area of linguistics that interests me greatly.

I believe I have the right academic and professional background and creative edge to successfully help your EFL students achieve their language-learning goals.

I would be grateful if you could consider my CV and application, and would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Rachel

I believe that successful language-learning very much depends on how the language is taught. I advocate an approach that is both creative, and thereby makes the learning experience fun, and tailored, to give students the practical skills they will actually need for their specific situation.
