Dear Sir/Madam,
It is with great enthusiasm that I apply for a teaching position with your school’s organization. I possess the passion and commitment to students and to their success. My love for teaching and learning will enable me to quickly, become a valued staff member.

I am a competent and caring teacher who has a depth of experience to create and maintain a nurturing classroom environment that effectively meets the challenges of diverse groups of students. My over two decades of national and international teaching experiences have allowed me to develop excellent student-focused teaching and learning skills. It is my goal to combine this depth of experience with my ability to be a compassionate, enthusiastic, and intelligent teacher, who will make a positive contribution to each student and their achievement.
I encourage learning by using several different manipulatives, hands on activities, technology, and by encouraging class discussion, open-ended questions and cooperative learning. I can facilitate a highly interactive and inquisitive classroom atmosphere. My focus as a teacher has consistently been on student achievement; hence, I adjust instructions to cater for the abilities, learning styles and interest of a diverse set of learners by differentiating instruction, assessment type and tool.
Should I be chosen, I will work to the best of my ability in ensuring the continued success of the school and be a dedicated teacher in the process.
Sincerely,
