Dear Mr Smith, I am writing to your family regarding your ad about searching for a teacher of the Russian language for one year. My name is Ekaterina Shadenkova, I am a graduate of Saint-Petersburg University and I have been a teacher for 7 years now. I have 4 recommendation letters from the parents of my students, most of them aged 7-13. I love kids and absolutely adore my profession. I have always dreamed about travelling abroad, and I consider that the job you are offering could be a win-win for both sides.

First

of all, I am good with kids and they like me a lot and that helps them to study the subject more comfortable.

Secondly

, I love spending my free time with them, so we could

also

arrange some outdoor activities, that would be like babysitting for a couple of days a week. I was looking for a similar job because I've always wanted to travel. It is

also

a great opportunity for me to find a way for my future immigration. I can send you my recommendations on request. Best wishes, Ekaterina Shadenkova
