Sample Teaching Cover Letter Example

Dear Mr. ,

I am interested in applying for a teaching position, on the elementary level, in your school district. As a 2008 graduate of Pacific College, I have student teaching experience on the first and seventh grade level, in both rural and urban school districts.

At the present time I am teaching ESL preschool children. This position enables me to provide these students with a “head start†in mastering basic skills. I am challenged to be creative, nurturing and most of all, patient.

In my junior year at Pacific College, a passion for, and knowledge of cars created an opportunity for me work for the Racing Museum. This position allowed me to teach every thrid grade class in the local school system. I coordinated field trips with classroom instruction.

It is my goal to combine my range of experience with my ability to be a compassionate, enthusiastic, intelligent teacher who will make a positive contribution to your school district. I would appreciate a chance for an interview and hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,
