Good Morning,
Hope this email finds you well!
My name is Jonathan Allen, 35 years old from Brighton, England.
I'm currently living in Beijing, China until mid-September 2016 and am looking for a position to move onto after my contract finishes here.
This is my first teaching position anywhere and really enjoying the challenge!!
By the time my contract ends I will have worked here for 1 year, teaching 3-8-year-olds a variety of different subjects from, English, Maths, Science, Art, Logical Critical Thinking and Global Leadership.
I do not have experience of teaching adults but it's something I want to do and challenge myself to become a better teacher!
I do not possess a degree unfortunately but do have my 120 hour TEFL certification.
I've loved every second of my first teaching experience out here and want it to continue for a long time!
I would be more than willing to go out of my way to help wherever I can and represent the school in a positive, professional and productive manner.
If I were to be offered a position within your company I would go out of my way to prepare thoroughly for this new challenge.
Thank you for taking the time to have a look and consider my application.
Have a nice day!
Regards,
Jonathan Allen
