Dear Hiring Manager:

Hello. My name is Mohammad Sabir Abbassi and I am e-mailing you with regards to the ESL Instructor position. In summary, I am a native English speaker with a degree in Public Administration. I recently earned the TEFL certificate from the American Language Institute (ALI) at San Diego State University (SDSU).

I wish to continue teaching English language learners in Saudi Arabia. Jason Greeno and Allan Pascua from SDSU of ALI recommended Saudi Arabia as a place of first-rate language education. I believe that I could effectively instruct your schools diverse group of students.

As an educator, I have taught students with a mixed level of English abilities. I taught an ESL course at ALI of SDSU and designed lessons to students at mixed levels. Using a variety of materials and methods, I can help learners improve their language skills and pronunciation. I created and taught these lessons under the critique of TEFL tutors. While in San Diego I have also continued tutoring in San Diego, mainly adults via e-mail on essay writing. In addition, I have experience teaching English to young people in Masjid Al Rribat Al Islami in San Diego.

My diverse experiences have connected me to people of all backgrounds, and I wish to help Saudi students in Saudi Arabia build a bridge to the new western cultural aspect in which they are immersed in. I am confident that as an ESL teacher I could reach your students with my passion for language and, through creative and dedicated instruction, help them achieve their goals.

I have attached my CV, University diploma, and TEFL certificate.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Mohammad Sabir Abbassi
