Hello readers,
As I am only in year 1, I am only eligible to apply for a very small number of internships. Among this short list is the MOE teaching internship which is open to all undergrads regardless of the student’s year/course of study. So this is my application letter for the internship.

Dear Sir/Mdm,
MOE TEACHING INTERNSHIP
My name is Pavithra. I am writing to apply for the MOE teaching internship for undergrads. I am a Year 1 Mechanical Engineering student at National University Of Singapore. I would like to take up this internship during my vacation (from xx-xx-2010 to xx-xx-2010).
As I have always been highly passionate about teaching, I have tried to gain as much exposure to the teaching industry as possible so far.
This is probably evident from my enclosed CV. I have worked as a relief teacher in 2 local primary schools over a period of 4 months. I have also worked in various tuition centres during my vacations. Besides working experience, over the period of 2 years in my JC, I was also an active member of my school peer-teaching group. Currently, I am also a part-time tutor teaching JC level economics and Upper Sec level mathematics.
Through the experiences mentioned above, I have gained valuable knowledge on how to interact and communicate effectively with students of different age groups and have developed many innovative teaching techniques.
I plan to pursue my interest in teaching after my degree. Thus this internship would be a great opportunity for me to put my skills into practice and learn more about the teaching system in schools as well.
I have the patience, drive, and commitment to be a great teacher, making me an excellent candidate for this position and genuinely hope that you will consider my application.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Pavithra
