High School Math Teacher Sample Cover Letter
Dear Mr. Smith:
I read with great interest your advertisement for a high school Math Teacher currently posted in the Sun Valley Times Career Section. My resume for the position is enclosed. I will be completing my single subject credential this May, after which I will be available for a full-time teaching assignment.
I am especially interested in this position because it is the school district from which I graduated. Having been a part of the district, I am very familiar with the campus, the faculty, and the community. The Math Department continues to place a great deal of emphasis on teaching students creative ways to work with math, which correlates very closely with my area of teaching expertise.
I have more than four years of teaching experience in a variety of settings. While getting my B.A. at Ohio State University, I served as a tutor for freshman Math students. My student teaching assignment included teaching remedial math and science. This assignment included special training in assertive discipline that was integrated into a pilot composition program for learning disabled students. I received a district award as an outstanding student teacher for my participation in
this program.
I am excited about teaching and feel very strongly that I can make a positive contribution to your school. I look forward to meeting you and discussing this position more in depth.
Sincerely,
Elen Grant
