Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to recommend Mika Chu for the position of a curriculum developer at Vietnam American Language School. Meeting her the first time when we were classmates at university and after four years studying together and another three years closely working at UTE Language Center, I am very delighted to provide this reference in support of her application.

Other colleagues and Mika’s students find her a very enthusiastic, dedicated and friendly teacher with exceptional communication skills, and I am convinced that she is also a qualified trainer who is very good at both English and course development skills. She has recently earned a master degree in TESOL with flying colors for Curriculum and Syllabus Development subject.

I believe that her professionalism in English would be one of the great contributors to her deep understanding of language teaching and learning courses. Also, her considerable expertise in teaching definitely acts as a precursor for her successful fulltime program developer at your school.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have further inquiry about Mika’s suitability on the post.

Yours faithfully,

Julia Lee

Director, UTE Language Center
