Dear Ms. O'Doherty-Kim:

Please consider me as an applicant for the part-time English tutor position. I learned of it through the guidance department in my highschool.

As my resume shows, I am completing my senior year at Oakwood High School. It was there I first started tutoring as a peer tutor, helping students after school. As well, I have extensive work experience assisting ESL students through a volunteer program I am involved with. I derive a lot of pleasure from teaching and plan to pursue a degree in education next year.

I look forward to hearing from you to discuss this positon further. You may reach me at 555-4321 to arrange an interview at your convenience.

Yours truly,

(sign your name)

Sarah Smith
