To whom it may concern,

I am seeking an Internship position with KidsRKids China as a Assistant Teacher

Intern or Director Assistant Intern for the duration of one year, January 2017December 2017.
During this internship I will be completing the second half of my Duel Major and will
be graduating upon competition in December 2017. I have previously studied and
traveled in China for 28 days back in the summer of 2014. Inspired by that first
international experience I have since planned on eventually teaching English as a
foreign language as a way of returning to and experiencing China in a more
personal way.
This position will not only fulfill my desires to teach in China but will also better
prepare myself for future endeavors by increasing my effectiveness as an
international educator/facilitator being able to live, learn, teach, and adapt in an
international setting. Therefore I would appreciate very much being considered for
an internship position with Kids'R'Kids China.
I have attached my resume as well as a recent photo and look forward to hearing
from you soon.
Also here is a link to my LinkedIn Page, for more detail.
