Mr. Price Hicks

Principal of East Taunton of Elementary School

215 Harris Street,
Taunton, MA 02780

 

 

Dear Mr. Hicks

 

I am a graduate from Bridgewater State University. I graduated there with a 3.7 grade point average and I got my master’s degree in education. Also, I minored in history which will greatly help me with this position. Having looked at the job description I feel I would be a great candidate for the position you are looking for. I am confident that the skills and experience I have will make me successful in this career. My goal is to be a great teacher and be able to help all my students succeed. One of my greatest strengths is that I’m good at listening and being able to understand what the student needs or wants me to do.

I have many experiences teaching. I was a substitute teacher at four different schools, including this one, for about two years. From those experiences, I learned about all different types of classrooms and students. In college, I interned with many history teachers who taught me a lot of good tips on being a great history teacher. I have a good work ethic which can be seen from all the internships and substitute jobs I have had. There was never a negative response or review from any of the places I worked at.

 

Being a teacher has always been my dream job. If you accept my application and choose me for this job I will do my very best to do this job right. I will work hard like I always do and I promise I will be a great addition to your school.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read my application and to look at my résumé. I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my qualifications or my references. My email is the best and most reliable way to get in touch with me.

 

Sincerely,
