Dear Sir or Madam,
My good friend Alyssa Meyers is applying for the English training instructor position. As someone who has known her personally and professionally for years, I strongly believe hiring her will be a boon to your organization.
Since college, I have known Alyssa to be passionate about working with young people, particularly those struggling with academic or life challenges. At the time, she regularly volunteered for a campus group that helped high school students with reading difficulties. After college, she balanced two part-time jobs: part-time communications instructor at a community college and online English tutor to foreign nationals.
Therefore, she is more than qualified for the position, as she’s taught English speaking and writing to teens and young professionals. But most importantly, she has a heart for young people. She easily identifies with their struggles and can challenge and motivate them to become better. And since she has had years of experience dealing with varying nationalities, I am sure she can adjust to the foreign students who will avail of your company’s services.
In my heart, you will not go wrong if you hire her.
Sincerely yours,
Aurora Lamilee
