Fix the agreement mistake

to be a
Chinese
teacher for your two
kids
. I believe I am an eligible candidate and I believe I have the capacity to teach

Chinese
effectively, which means your

can manage a language in months, not years. I am confident because I am a high achieving student with a 3.75 GPA and I have managed to learn Spanish in 6 months.
Further
, I have half a year's experience teaching an 8-year-old girl
Chinese
before and she managed the 'pinyin', i.e., the pronunciation, as well as the grammar quickly.
Besides

teaching

an intriguing approach to learning a language. The main reasons that I want
this
job are that I feel I am quite suitable for
this
position and I enjoy spending time with
kids
.
Also
, even though I do not really care about the salary, the job could help me to pay back my student loan. Looking forward to your reply! Jane
