To Whom It May Concern:,

I am writing to express my interest for the teacher position at your School that I saw advertised on online. I believe my combination of critical thinking and communication skills along with my educational background makes me an ideal candidate for the job.
I have experience working with children through volunteering and student teaching. As a student teacher, I observed and supervised a sixth-grade class and worked alongside a certified teacher. I helped create lesson plans and engaged students in learning content through various formats. I also helped increase student participation and saw a 20% increase in test scores during my time as a student teacher. This experience helped me learn the best teaching practices and greatly improved my patience, organization and creativity skills.

Combined with my Biomedical degree, including my numerous years that I have in teaching, I aim to use my skills to foster a child's educational development and ensure they're reaching their academic potential. I'm confident that my skills and passion for teaching have prepared me for this role at your School. I am eager to learn more about this opportunity as it continues to improve the quality of education in the greater Johannesburg area. Please contact me at your convenience to set up a time to discuss the position in greater detail and how my qualifications align with your educational program. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
