Dear Prospective Employer,
I've been living and teaching in Vietnam* for the last 15 months and am currently seeking a full-time teaching position preferably in Asia. I will consider all reasonable offers.
In brief, IĄ¯m an American man, 40 years of age, non-smoker and have been teaching overseas in Korea, Thailand and most recently in Vietnam for over six years. I have a legitimate BA in Psychology and verifiable experience that includes 4 years of teaching at the secondary school level and over 2 additional years at language academies. IĄ¯ve also a lot of part-time teaching experience where IĄ¯ve instructed every age group in a wide berth of levels and subjects such as EFL/ESL/ESP/ Business English and standardized tests so IĄ¯m flexible in regards to adjusting to the needs of different learning environments.
I've attached my personal information for your review. Hope to hear from you.
Sincerely yours,
Mark T. Simich
