Dear Madam Ong,
Application for Teaching internship
I am writing this letter to you to apply for the teaching internship during the summer vacation.
My major is pure chemistry and am well trained with the laboratory techniques such as spectroscopy techniques. Thus, I am able to demonstrate the use of systematic approaches in solving problems through the analysis and evaluation of alternatives to meet the challenges of the ever-changing education system. I have been a private tutor since graduation from junior college. From teaching, I have learnt how to be an effective communicator by listening to students' problems and giving them appropriate advices. This has given me an insight into the value of work with teenagers, and has underlined my determination to work with this age group.
Through participation in various community services such as the lion dance troupe event and undertaking leadership roles, I have developed a strong sense of responsibility, organisation skills and team-spirit among my peers. Most of these activities require strong coordination among members of the Wushu team and constant training. I have been nominated by my CCA teachers for the EAGLES awards and have received recognition and achievement awards. From my previous employment with MOE’s Staff training Branch (STB), I have acquired useful skills such as using the TRANSI system and facilitated meetings for assistant directors and school principals. As a Course administrator, I have successfully assisted STB in keeping track of teachers’ attendance and changed the conventional platform for courses registration to online registration. With my experience with different roles in school and Information Technology (IT), I am confident of organising events at the school and community level and am able to engage my students well.
I am keen in committing my time to the MOE’s training courses for the intern teachers. I hope you will consider my application and have enclosed my resume for your reference. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your time.
Yours Sincerely,
Sng Bi Lin Adeline
