Language Teacher Cover Letter Example

Dear Hiring Manager,

As an English and French Language Teacher with 5 years of experience teaching in public and language schools, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I recently returned from Italy, where I taught Business English and Business French at the Medici International Language School in Florence for 6 years. I worked closely with individuals and groups from beginners 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 Teacher at Elite Academy in Venice for 4 years, where I taught General English to adults, teens, and children.

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, TOEFL, TCF, and DELF. I employ a range of traditional and progressive methodology, with an emphasis on incorporating experiential learning opportunities. While I occasionally use textbooks, I enjoy creating material for all levels. 

In addition to my professional experience and native fluency in English and French, I hold a Master of Education and Teaching of English/French as a Foreign Language (TEFL) qualifications.

I am interested in this position because of the exceptional teaching opportunity it represents within your dynamic school culture. I am eager to work in a collaborative environment where my passion for foreign languages and enthusiasm for facilitating engaging instruction 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,

Rebecca Rodriguez
