Teacher Cover Letter Example ›

Julia Dougherty 91 Western Road Brighton, East Sussex, England BN1 2NW Mobile: 07956 654 32 E-Mail: example-email@example.com Dear Mr. Holmes, I am a highly-trained junior school teacher with experience teaching multiple grade levels, and I am excited by the opportunity to work at Sweetbriar Junior School. I have a history of creating interactive learning programmes, and I am confident I could step in and immediately make an impact as a fourth-grade teacher at your school. My objective as a teacher is to foster a positive learning environment for all students, and my expertise aligns with the qualifications needed for the position at your school. A desire to maximise student education led me to improve standardised test scores by seventeen percent in my previous position. Whilst my on-the-job experience has afforded me a well-rounded skill set, including first-rate communication and motivational skills, I excel in the following areas:

• Developing creative lesson plans that meet the needs of diverse students.
• Coordinating after-school tutoring to help students outside the classroom.
• Efficiently managing classroom behaviour and procedures to optimise learning.
• Meeting with paren’ts to coordinate improvement plans.

In the course of my work, I have regularly worked with other staff to improve learning opportunities throughout the school and have also implemented positive changes in my own classroom to better serve my students. Additionally, I have an energetic manner and have worked with up to 32 students at a time in ages ranging from first through fifth grade. I am extremely enthusiastic about Sweetbriar Junior School’s focus on improving test scores and would love the opportunity to contribute to your institution’s goals in ensuring effective student education. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to learning more about this position. Please let me know if you would like any additional information to be considered for an interview. Sincerely, Julia Dougherty
