I am a 24 year-old native English speaker living in Whitefish, MT, USA. I recently graduated from the University of Montana with a B.A. in Psychology with honors. I am very excited about the possibility of teaching English overseas and appreciate you taking the time to review this letter and resume.

The majority of my relevant experience lies in my history of working with children. I have years of successful childcare experience, including one school year spent working as an aftercare teacher at a private elementary school in Missoula, Montana. I am thrilled by the prospect of combining my love of travel with my passion for working with children, although I am open to the possibility of teaching adults as well.

I am creative, bright, and energetic and am confident that I would make a valuable addition to your staff. I have a clean criminal record and am fully eligible to obtain work permits (with your assistance, of course). My current employer requires that I stay in Montana until September of this year at which time I will be ready to start teaching immediately.

Thanks again for your time.
Sincerely,
Robyn Buesseler
