Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Jia Geng. I am a Chinese native speaker instructor who used to work in Confucius Institute at Boğaziçi University,which is the top university in Turkey, as well as Akdeniz University of Turkey as a Chinese instructor to taught elementary and intermediate Chinese courses in the past two years. My students covered the registered internal students of these two universities and certain general public in Istanbul and Antalya of Turkey.
In addition to lecturing and explaining the knowledge about Chinese Language, culture and society in the class, I also assisted and guided my students to prepare for HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test) after class enthusiastically. The response and evaluations of my students upon my lesson and teaching style is so encouraging and inspiring that until now there are still someone contact me and inquire about whether I may continue to teach them even if I have already returned to my home country.
As a Chinese teacher, I received the formal and systematic education and training during my undergraduate and post-graduate study. I obtained my Master degree in Chinese Modern and Contemporary Literature and Culture from Shanghai University in China in 2011 and Bachelor degree in Chinese Language and Literature Education from Langfang Teachers’ College in China in 2008. During my B.A and M.A period, my grade of specialized courses was always kept ranking top 3 among other students. Besides, before graduated from Shanghai University I had been trained by Hanban of The People’s Republic of China (Confucius Institute Headquarters) as a qualified international Chinese teacher who has the professional knowledge and the capability to work in foreign countries from March to May of 2011.
Depends on the practical teaching experience as a full-time or part-time Chinese teacher (especially as teaching Chinese for foreign students in foreign countries) I accumulated in recent years, I have developed the practical skills to instruct the system of phonetic, words and phrases, grammar in Chinese Mandarin in a quite concise and explicit way, what is more important, promote and facilitate students to master Chinese genuinely and eventually put this language into actual use in daily communication and dialogues effectively.
With the great enthusiasm and the eagerness towards the occupation of Chinese Education, I would like to put myself toward to the Chinese teaching position in your school-The School of Humanities and Tourism Management sincerely. I have well-founded self-confidence that if you could grant me a valuable chance, I will be able to prove myself to be an eligible and competent Chinese instructor. Could you please give certain considerations to my application?
Thank you for your patience to read my application letter and CV attached. I am looking forward to your kind response.
