Dear Sirs, I am writing to apply as an online English teacher for your school. As you will see from my attached CV, I am a native English speaker, graduate, and UK citizen with a post-graduate diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. As I have spent several years living in Spain, my command of the language is of near native to native speaker level. I also took a TEFLA certificate course in teaching English as a foreign language twenty two years ago and have since taught youngsters from 6 -12 years of age as part of my 25 hour weekly timetable, the remainder of the classes being with teenagers and adults. I am currently teaching General and Business English, ESP and Exam Preparation to adults, children and companies both face to face and via Skype, virtual classroom and telephone. I have a large portfolio of materials to provide practice in all skills areas. I would very much like the opportunity to discuss the post with you and to present my professional portfolio, which includes samples of my teaching. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for taking the time to view my CV. Regards, Mark Tobias
