Teacher Assistant Cover Letter Example

Dear School Principal,

As an Assistant Teacher with 2 years of experience in private and public school settings, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently a Teacher Aide at Hillhead Primary School, where I support the Grade 3 teacher in all daily classroom functions to ensure everything runs smoothly. Mirroring your requirements, I supervise 27 students, help implement lesson plans, prepare material, and maintain classroom tidiness. During my studies, I completed a 1-year international practicum at Bertha Willis International in Amman.

In addition to my experience, I hold a Bachelor of Primary Education and a Teaching of English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) qualification. I possess excellent knowledge of developmentally-appropriate practices for child care, as well as knowledge of federal, state, and local rules and regulations pertaining to education in Jordan. I have strong experience in program design, material development, and classroom presentation techniques, diversity & inclusion, and cultural awareness practices. As well as the ability to smoothly cooperate with lead teachers, I maintain appropriate discipline in group situations and maintain effective working relationships with children, families, and fellow teaching staff.

As I will be moving back to Amman in June, I am seeking a stimulating opportunity with a private educational institute. I have heard excellent feedback about John Smith International School, and am particularly enthusiastic about the extensive professional development opportunities offered to teaching staff.

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

Yours faithfully,

Malin Lundell
