Candidate’s Response:

Dear Sir and Madam ,

I am writing to you regarding the issue of teaching French language to your children for the length of one year .

Concerning why i would be a right person for this job , i lived in France for two years from 2018 to 2020 in order to get my master degree in science , in that time i had to learn French language very fluently , So i worked for a charity which helped children to learn subjects like mathematics and i could learn french very well because of having interaction with children . Also , i am very patient person in regard to children , when they could not learn an issue i am very calm and kind towards them and try to explain it very coherently .

In relation to other services which i could offer , i could teach them mathematics and Computer skill apart from teaching language , for example at spare time . In addition , i could take them out for exercising if you don’t have enough time to do that .

Regarding why i would like to take this position , i am going to travel Australia for a couple of days later , in order to continue my education at university of sydny which is located at your city and it Could be an excellent opportunity for me to have a job which is my passion and i could cover my costs by doing this job . Moreover , i would like to practice my second language with your children because it’s a good way to keep it in mind .

I am looking forward to hearing from you in this regard and i will appreciate you if you Consider my request .

Yours faithfull ,

The grammar errors do not affect the sentences’ messages, but their quantity is generally quite high. Implementing these two points will boost the letter to a score of 7.0.
