Cover Letter: I have served in the capacity of Head Teacher [Fujin, China], Director of Studies [Xiangtan, China], Course Director of English Language Studies [Rustaq, Oman], English Language Teacher Trainer [Bangladesh], Cultural Studies and English Writing, and Oral English, American Literature and Foreign Cultural Studies {Xinxiang, China]. I established and managed schools in Botswana and in Papua New Guinea.
I am a specialist writer with published works including the novel RANE [2002]. My Master's degree is in Literary Studies.
My 22 years teaching experiences in Botswana, Papua New Guinea, Oman, Bangladesh and in China have inspired a simple philosophy: I seek to instil confidence in my students with a humourous and understanding attitude.
My competence and knowledge have been due to the generosity of my fellow workers.
With respect
Adrian Keefe MA [Lit]

Mr. Adrian Keefe was employed by Strathfield College to undertake the duties and responsibilities of developing, managing and ensuring the quality assurance for the English Program at Hunan Institute of Engineering from 1 August 2007 until 25 February 2008.
Mr. Keefe's salary and expenses were paid from Australia by Strathfield College.
As Director of Studies Mr Keefe successfully implemented the English Program to enable students to qualify for postgraduate studies in English at the University of Southern Queensland. Chinese teachers were inculcated into the Australian Literacy Methodology and students were introduced to current language training techniques.

To whom it may concern
My good friend and colleague, Mr Adrian Keefe, an Australian teacher, was the first foreign teacher at my Pingyuan University and he kicked off his stay with us in August 2004 and left us a year later in 2005.
Adrian is a person of great personal integrity, with high moral and ethical standards. He has a happy home environment; he and his wife, Caron, work wonders together. He is acclaimed for his directness, generosity, kindness and cultural sensitivity.
As a pal and colleague I admire him very much, I treat him as my model.
Adrian is such a good teacher that he always can be able to infect his students with his own keenness for his subject so all his students respect and love him.
Adrian holds good cooperation with his colleagues. He is amiable and cooperative in his work. His sense of duty together with his educated mind inspire him to finish his work with flying colours.
I have no hesitation in recommending him as a reliable, dedicated hardworking man with skills that are of particular relevance in community welfare and development planning. What is more important is that Adrian loves China and Chinese culture and holds great admiration for Chinese tradition and history.
Should you require any further information I can be contacted by email.
Yours sincerely
