Bad Sample Teacher Cover Letter

  

A cover letter is a simple but necessary part of business when we are dealing with a person, company or agency through mail. When writing a cover letter, keep in mind that it is an introduction and nothing more. It will not be read for more than a few seconds, so don’t overdo it. State what job you’re applying for, where you found it at, why you’re right for the job and how you can be contacted.

The following sample teacher cover letter is a BAD sample teacher cover letter. Nobody wants to read your autobiography. Besides a poor formatting and choice of words, the bulk of this letter was unnecessary. Refer them to your resume, don’t repeat it.

Sample Teacher Cover Letter

I read you have a need for a teacher. I am very much interested in this position. I have been teaching for many years in both high schools and elementary schools, so I have a lot of experience.

My first job was as a kindergarten teacher in my hometown of______. I also volunteered for Sunday school teaching at the local church.

The next classroom experience for me was a four-year stint as a second-grade school teacher in the city of ________ where I moved after marriage to my husband who is also a teacher. This school had a mix of students from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds, giving me the opportunity to adapt my teaching and relationship skills to different types of students.

Later on, I traveled to Thailand where there is a high demand for English teachers. I not only taught high school students a new language, I also had the chance to explore a new culture which broadened my view of the world.

Enclosed is my resume which further details my accomplishments in this field. I believe we should discuss employment options in an interview. I will contact you in two weeks. I look forward to working with you.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
