To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to apply for the primary school English teacher role at your school in Qingdao, China. I saw the job advertised on www.tefl.org and am available to start immediately.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from the Open University in 2018 and got my TEFL and child developmental psychology certificates in 2021. I also have a certificate in counselling skills, and I am a King's College London postgraduate student studying psychology and neuroscience of mental health distance learning.
I have always enjoyed working with children; I am working with a diverse group of children voluntarily teaching English as a second language, reading & creativity, and playgroups. I also did some mentoring with Project Scotland which I didn't include in my CV. I enjoy watching children learn and develop as they discover the world around them. Although the job didn't state the years of experience required, I believe that my voluntary experience working with children and the skills I have developed whilst studying give me a better understanding of children and would enable me to do a better job.
The children in my care are my priority, including their learning, safety, and general well-being. I encourage and support their curiosity to explore and promote social relationships because it helps facilitate their learning. Thus, I am flexible and adaptable to every aspect of their changing learning needs and open to learning and finding creative ways to do things. I go the extra mile to ensure that the children in my care are happy learners.
I am personable, energetic, fun, empathetic compassionate, and a great listener. I have general cultural awareness, with cross-cultural empathy & behavioural flexibility skills, as these are needed to build rapport & trust in people, creating a comfortable & fun environment for learning. I also understand the importance of parent-teacher relationships in fostering a robust learning environment for the developing child.
I am dedicated in all I do and reflective because it helps me grow both personally & professionally. I can work as part of a team as well as independently. I know how to manage my time and am flexible with covering for absences. I would make a great addition to your team if given the opportunity. I have attached my CV to this application for your review, and thank you in advance for your time.
I look forward to hearing from you.
With kind regards,
Rosemary Frost
