Dear Principal Rodriquez,

As a secondary math teacher for more than 10 years, I’ve found that my passion for (and commitment
to teaching) have only grown with every year. Even with the complexities of the current educational
landscape, the feeling of getting through to that student who just wasn’t “getting the hang of it,” or
helping advanced students achieve their goals, never gets old. I have dedicated my career to helping
students of all levels master the math skills and concepts they need to go on to college and everyday life
beyond high school, and would love to continue that path with Mudville High School.

In my current position, I teach algebra, pre-calculus, and calculus to students in grades 9 through 12.
Over my ten years of teaching, I’ve made it a point to stay up to date on the most current pedagogy and
teaching methods, and use custom lesson planning to develop relevant curricula for students in order to
maximize their engagement on complex concepts. I’ve also presented on curriculum planning at the
National Federation of Teachers conference, and would bring that enthusiasm and expertise to your
school.

I would love continue my career as an educator with Mudville Public Schools, with its strong reputation
for putting students first. If you have any additional questions or if there’s any additional information I
can provide, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Thanks for your consideration, and I look forward to
hearing more about this teaching opportunity.

Sincerely,

Rosemarie Jones

Dear Ms. Del Gato,

As an admirer of Johnson Memorial Grammar School, I was really excited to see your posting for a 3rd
grade teacher. Here’s why I’m an excellent match for the position.

In addition to having a Masters in Education and seven years experience, I currently work as an
enthusiastic 3rd grade teacher at the Red Barn School. In this role I am responsible for 40 students in an
inclusion classroom, which has allowed me to refine my skills handling extreme behavioral issues, while
maintaining a focused class. I also prepare the children for the challenging state tests and foster their
leadership and problem-solving skills by having them collaborate in groups.

Additionally, my attached resume includes all of the other requirements given on your job listing. For this
reason, I believe I would be a great addition to your organization.

I will make myself available to meet with you at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,

Virginia Ball

There are plenty of opportunities to land a position, but it won’t just be handed to you. Crafting a cover
letter that catches the attention of hiring managers is paramount to getting the job, and LiveCareer is

Dear Sir;

It is with great delight that I am seeking to secure a position as an elementary teacher in your school.
Believing that basic education is the most important stage in the learning growth of an individual, I wish
to render my service in your reputed institution to fulfill my goal to be a public servant through teaching.

With my good instructional abilities, combined with my superior interpersonal skills and professionalism
at work, I believe that I can contribute to the success of your school.
I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education in 2015 and served as a grade 1 teacher in St.
Scholastica’s Academy Marikina for two good years. I just past the recent Licensure Examination for
Teachers which made me qualified for a teaching position in a public school.

Knowing that Basic Education is a vital stage for young learners, I hope to encourage my future pupils to
improve their inner strengths and abilities while discovering their other potentials. I want to provide a
stimulating learning environment that motivates the young to trust their own stand while respecting
others. I want to be one of those people who develop their confidence at a young age while teaching
them the necessary values and discipline for them to become successful individuals of their generation.

Due to my previous teaching experiences, I have discovered that the method of facilitating instead of
dictating is the best teaching style. I have realized that students learn best when you trust them to learn
by themselves while providing the guidance they need. With this realization, I would like to devote my
time guiding and teaching more students in the future. I know I am in the right career path and I am sure
that this passion will never cease.

Through teaching in your school, I hope to instill a love of learning and a longing for continuous learning
within each pupil.

My resume is attached for your review. Please contact me if you have more questions. Thank you for
your kind consideration.

Sincerely,

Ms. Rmae Simangan

Sample Application Letter for Teacher Fresh Graduate

By Mark Anthony Llego on January 5, 2018

Dr. Leila Magdaong

Principal

Camalig National High SSchool

Dear Ma’am;

I am writing to you to express my desire to serve as a Math teacher in your institution. I have just
achieved my Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education major in Mathematics in March 2018 and I am
planning to take the Licensure Examination for Teachers this coming month of September.

In the last year of my college, I was assigned to have my practice teaching in BUCEILS (Bicol University
College of Education Integrated Laboratory School). My four months of internship in the said school
brought me much learning especially in giving instruction and supervision. The seasoned teachers in
BUCEILS taught me how to professionally deal with various situations that have got something to do with
school matters such as dealing with the parents and guardians of the students as well as working on
school activities that involve the out of school community.

In the short period of my stay in BUCEILS, I was able to develop my communication skills and my
pedagogy and I believe that it helped me be more prepared to a greater challenge which is to finally
embrace the job of being a full-time educator. Given my ample training in college, I am confident that I
am ready to work and do the responsibilities of a teacher and I know that your reputed institution can
give me an opportunity to continue to develop myself professionally.

I was a team-player during my college years. I participated in various activities such as leadership
trainings and community involvement programs. My experience will be my armor to mold my future
students not just academically but socially. As a young educator, I believe that instilling the importance
of social involvement to the students plays a key role to their success and I am hoping you are going to
give me a chance to put in to practice and to share to the students of your institution this thing I strongly
believe in.
Given my lack of experience in teaching as I am a fresh graduate, I am willing to be trained and I am
willing to undergo series of workshops and lectures if you may ask me to do so when you hire me. I am
ready to be shaped by the teacher training programs you provide for your employees.

Attached in this letter is my resume which you can use for reference.

I am really hoping that you will give me a chance to have my first teaching experience in your institution.

Thank you for considering my application. I am hoping for your favorable response.

Sincerely,

Madison B. Llego

Cover Letter Tips for Teacher

Finding jobs as a Teacher will be easier if you apply your skills and look in the right places. Following
these pointers can relieve stress and make it easier to find work.

1. Research your surroundings. Whether you are new to Education or have lived in the area for years,
you should conduct some research to find who the biggest employers are. Doing so can help you find job
leads that don’t show up other places, and it can show you where the majority of local opportunities are.

2. Practice your interview skills. Once you have found a job lead that interests you and matches your
skills, you have started the journey to landing a new job. If an interview seems intimidating, think about
the kind of questions a potential employer would want to ask an interviewee, and prepare some
articulate answers that will demonstrate your knowledge.

3. Network with neighbors. Building relationships and pursuing connections can often provide
unexpected job opportunities. Let your friends and family know what kind of position you are looking
for, and ask them to pass any leads along.

4. Keep in contact with potential job leads. Once you have submitted a job application, it is up to
management to decide whether or not you are a good candidate for the position. Reach out to the
recruiter, hiring manager or human resources department remind them of your interest.
5. Be adaptable. Think of your abilities as the roots of all the things you can do. They are the beginning,
not the end. Be open to jobs in other fields that can provide opportunities outside your field and expand
your skill set.

Teacher Job Seeking Tips

Your cover letter is likely the first impression potential employers will have of you. You should make its
contents relevant to the jobs as a Teacher and field you are pursuing, but regardless of specifics, there
are a few general rules you should always follow.

1. Highlight your experience. This may seem like a no-brainer, but you want your skills to truly shine on
paper. The only way to achieve this is to describe your prior experience in an engaging way. Use
descriptive language to make your work experience sound enticing.

2. Be honest. It may be tempting to exaggerate your experience or embellish your skills, but this will
disservice you in the long run. Instead of stretching the truth, be imaginative in your descriptions of prior
work history.

3. Emphasize your versatility. Many people are faced with a shortage of jobs in their field, but if you are
dealing with this, it does not mean you won’t find a great and fulfilling position. You should keep your
options open and use your cover letter to highlight your versatility.

4. Keep it brief. Giving long-winded answers in an interview is never a good idea, and being excessively
wordy on your cover letter isn’t either. While you may be verbose, limit your cover letter’s contents to
the most essential information. You don’t want your qualifications to get lost in a sea of words.

5. Don’t go over a page. In some cases, you may have reason to include two pages on your cover letter,
but in general it is best to be concise and keep its contents to one page only.
