Dear Admissions Officer,
I am writing this recommendation in support of Ms. Chieh-Yu Shih's application to your Master's Program in Management of Health Policy and Administration. I feel strongly that Ms. Shih is a well-qualified candidate and will be an asset in your school as she was in ours.
Ms. Shih was first a student at our center and later because of her excellent performance, was asked to work as a teaching assistant from June 1998 until now. Her duties as a teaching assistant include attending to teachers' requests in classrooms, helping students' individual needs and speaking to her classes everyday. Ms. Shih has out-performed our expectations. She is a responsible person who prepares carefully ahead of class everyday. We have never heard any complaints from the teachers she works with.
Since 1998, Ms. Shih has led 7 classes and worked with over 1000 students. Being a teaching assistant can sometimes be a tiring job, as one must constantly resolve every student's questions and problems. The job can also get repetitive and exhausting. Nonetheless, Ms. Shih works patiently with each and every one of her students. Ms. Shih also works well with her co-workers and is well liked by her peers.
I find Ms. Shih's excellent performance as a teaching assistant to be a good indicator that she will excel in your program and later in her career pursuit. Ms. Shih has demonstrated leadership potential, attention to details, good public speaking ability, organization skills and ability to work in teams. These are all essential managerial qualities. I recommend Ms. Shih to your program without hesitation.
Sincerely,
Emily Tsoung
Managing Director
