Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my interest in the advertisement I saw regarding the volunteer opportunity to teach
English
overseas. I came across the advertisement on a popular volunteering website while
searching for opportunities to contribute to the education sector abroad.
The idea of teaching English
overseas greatly appeals to me as I am passionate about helping others improve their language skills
and expand their horizons through education. Having the chance to immerse myself in a different culture while
making a positive impact through teaching is an opportunity I find incredibly rewarding.
Regarding my skills
that I believe would be beneficial for this
role, I hold a Bachelor's degree in English
Literature and have experience working as a tutor for ESL (English
as a Second Language) students. This
has equipped me with the ability to tailor my teaching methods to suit various learning styles and levels of proficiency. Additionally
, my patience, communication skills
, and cultural sensitivity make me well-suited for interacting with students from diverse backgrounds.
I am excited about the possibility of being part of your volunteer program and contributing to the education of individuals in need. I am confident that my passion for teaching and my skills
make me a suitable candidate for this
role. I look forward to the opportunity to further
discuss how I can contribute to your organization.
Thank you for considering my application.
Yours faithfully,

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately
Linking words are very important in your essay.
To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.
Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.
In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.
Linking word examples:
- firstly
- secondly
- thirdly
- in additional
- moreover
- also
- for example
- for instance
- therefore
- however
- although
- even though
- despite
