Dear Mr. and Mrs. Cooper,

I hope you are doing well. I am Anu from Melbourne. I recently came across an advertisement in Indeed job portal regarding your requirement for tutor for your children and I am interested in the same. I can teach German language and I have a C2 level proficiency in German. Moreover, I have 3 years of teaching experience at the Gothe language school. I believe I could be a good fit with ample working experience to teach German to your children.

Furthermore, currently I am studying masters in Bioinformatics at the University of Melbourne. Hence, I could also help in teaching other school subjects like Mathematics and Science to them.

Since I am an international student, I am looking for a part-time job. I always wanted to get into teaching profession as it could enhance my resume. Moreover, the job would help me to manage my tuition fees and other living expenses like house rent. I would be grateful if you could consider me for the position.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Anu

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, explaining suitability, additional skills, and reasons for wanting the job. The content is relevant and sufficiently detailed. To improve, consider providing more specific examples or details to further strengthen your claims. For instance, you could mention specific teaching methodologies or extracurricular activities you could offer.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The paragraphing is logical, with each paragraph addressing a specific aspect of the task. However, there's room for improvement in creating smoother transitions between ideas and paragraphs. For instance, the transition between your qualifications and your ability to teach other subjects could be more fluid. Consider using transitional phrases to connect ideas more explicitly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and demonstrates a good range. Terms like 'C2 level proficiency,' 'ample working experience,' and 'enhance my resume' are well-chosen. To further enhance your lexical resource, try incorporating more varied and sophisticated vocabulary related to teaching and child education. For example, instead of 'good fit,' you could use 'an ideal candidate' or 'well-suited to the role.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar with a variety of sentence structures. While there are some minor errors, they do not significantly impede understanding. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, article usage, and correct tense usage. Proofreading carefully before submission can help catch these minor errors. For example, 'requirement for tutor' could be improved to 'requirement for a tutor.'
