I am writing to inform you that I will begin a Master’s course in Linguistics this September, and I would like to request a reduction in my working hours at The Language Center.

As the course takes place during the first half of the day, I would be available to work from 4:00 p.m. until late evening. This schedule aligns with the preferences of most of my students, who are adults and generally prefer evening classes. As a result, the number of lessons I can provide would remain unchanged.

In the afternoons, I usually handle paperwork, which I can continue to manage remotely. Additionally, obtaining a Master’s degree in Linguistics will greatly benefit The Language Center, as I will acquire advanced knowledge and skills that I can directly apply to my work. This continual growth will enhance the quality of education we offer, aligning with the professional development goals of our institution.

I look forward to your response and appreciate your support in this matter.

Best regards, Ms. Atoyan
