Cover Letter: Cover Letter: Dear Sir/Madam,
 
Having completed and passed a 120hour TEFL course with i-to-i recently, 20 hours of which is supervised.  I really wish to get my teaching career moving as soon as possible.  I am a 27 year old female from Ireland.  My personality is fun, enthusiastic and always open to experience new and exciting things.

I have the experience of having worked in South Africa and outback Australia both of which I have travelled on my own and have adapted very well to the different cultures and climates. I have studied for and passed Travel and Tourism Management so am very educated on worldwide cultures and now wish to experience them first hand. I choose to do TEFL as I feel I have all the charactistics that would make a great teacher.

Please find below a link to my Curriculum Vitae for your inspection. I would be delighted to forward you any Certificates or References you may require.  
I look forward to hearing from you!



Kind regards,

Deirdre Gaughran
