Sample letter of intent
Dr. Corazon Laserna
Principal
Antipolo National High School
Subject: Job Application for Mathematics Teacher
Dear Ma’am:
As mentioned above, I would like to tell you that I have a strong intent to be a Mathematics teacher in your school. I finished my bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education major in Mathematics in March 2015 and had previously served as a Mathematics teacher and Math quiz bee coach in the two private schools I belonged to in the three previous years.
I passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers in September 2015 and started pursuing my graduate studies last year. I am enrolled in the Master of Arts in Instruction and Supervision program, major in Mathematics.
The training and workshops I have undergone during my college years, as well as my teaching experiences, developed my skills in teaching the discipline I have chosen. My years of experience have helped me reach my full potential in shaping the minds of the learners entrusted to my care.
I have taught Grade 7 to Grade 12 students at Infant Jesus Academy and Our Lady of Peace School. Over three years, I have provided effective classroom management, dynamic activities, well-constructed and student-centered lesson plans, detailed student evaluations, and well-received instructional delivery. I was given recognition and awards during my tenure in both schools. Those were the most challenging years of my life, but seeing my students improve was gratifying. I facilitated interesting yet challenging activities to keep my high-level students engaged without intimidating the less-skilled ones.
Attached to this letter is my curriculum vitae, which gives the contact numbers of my previous superiors for your reference.
My goal is to land a position in which my range of experience will further improve my ability to be a compassionate and dynamic teacher who will make a positive contribution to your school and to the community it serves. I would welcome an interview and hope to receive your favorable response to this application.
Sincerely,
Kian Luis Saturnero
Applicant
