Re.: Application for Elementary Teacher job.
Dear Lees,
I am writing this cover letter to express my interest for an elementary-level teaching position in your reputed school. I have been in the teaching profession for the last 7 years and have gained immense skills, knowledge, and experience of teaching young children to build a strong academic foundation for secondary and higher education. My specialty in teaching English will help your students overcome the challenge of the language and pursue a career in any English-speaking country in the world.
As an elementary teacher in my current employment at Lotus Primary School, I teach Grammar, story, essay, and drama writing, reading comprehension, poetry, and communication. The innovative and creative teaching techniques that I use in the classrooms help in gaining full attendance and total concentration of the students. Owing to these capabilities, I have even won the "Best Teacher" award for two consecutive years - 2016-17 and 2017-18.
I hold tremendous ability to help students learn the tricky English grammar, structure sentence, and the right use of sentence in verbal and written communication. What stands me apart from other English teachers is my creativity to use examples derived from our daily personal and professional lives. The grades that the students achieve in the subject is testimony to my teaching skills. I am proud to say that none of students have ever failed in English ever since I started teaching them.
Apart from teaching, I am also proficient in designing tests, grading students, assisting the administrative staff, and procuring interesting teaching materials from vendors and subject matter experts scattered throughout the United States. I am well versed in different teaching styles, and on that, I keep innovating unique ways of engaging students in my subject.
Having a strong passion for teaching, and helping students in improving the global language, I believe you will find me most suitable for the job. My dedication, sincerity, and commitment for the teaching job are something I cherish a lot. I would be greatly honored to find myself working with your esteemed school. Since I cannot dare to disturb you, I would like to seek your permission for calling you this coming Wednesday, i.e. August 28 and discuss at length about the possibility of my employment. In case there is something urgent you want an answer to, feel free to call me anytime.
Sincerely,
Dorothy A. Jerry
