Dear X, I am writing to express my interest in the Mandarin teacher position. Are you still accepting volunteers for this June to August period? I chose to work for a 501(c)(3) charitable organization after graduating because I considered spiritual life a priority. I am working at xx as a teaching assistant and have obtained the CELT-P (Certificate in English Language Teaching – Primary) qualification. I have taught a refugee at the A1 level. But I am more comfortable with teaching Mandarin Chinese because it’s my native language. I am passionate about language teaching; I teach Mandarin on a Hong Kong website where most of my students are westerners. I have a lot of time available during my school holidays, so I am eager to take on meaningful work related to my passion. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to your reply. Please let me know if you need any other information. Kind regards, X
