English Instructor Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager,

As an English Instructor with 5 years of experience, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I recently returned from Italy, where I taught Business English at the Medici International Language School in Florence for 6 years. I had the pleasure of working closely with individuals and groups from beginner level through to near-native fluency. My students came from diverse business backgrounds, from small start-ups through to global corporations. Prior to this, I was an English Instructor at Elite Academy in Venice for 4 years, where I taught English to adults and young people.

As well as the planning and delivery of high-quality teaching in physical and virtual settings, I am experienced in administering and evaluating assessments in preparation for IELTS and TOEFL. I employ a range of traditional and progressive methodology, with an emphasis on incorporating opportunities for experiential learning whenever possible. While I often use textbooks for beginners, I enjoy creating tailored material for all levels to address specific learning needs.

In addition to my English instruction experience, I hold a Master of Education and a Teaching of English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) qualification.

I am interested in this position because of the exceptional instruction opportunity it represents within a dynamic school culture. I am eager to work in a collaborative environment where my passion for facilitating engaging language learning can make a meaningful impact. 

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Samantha Wall
